well guys, i sold my 04' and goin to the only diesel truck i havent had.....a 05' dmax.... 1-7.3L, 1-6.0L, 3-5.9L CR's later, its time to try a dmax out...i sold my dodge lastweek, and goin to pick up my 05' chevy crewcab dmax thursday in GA....i'll still check everything out on here, to see how the CR is growing...its been fun, loved the CR, thats why i've had 3, but trucks is my hobby, so i just wanted to mess with a dmax and see how they work...lol

 

that is great to hear i would buy a chevy for the nice seats

 

Man what are you thinking.....

 

We will still be here when your meds kick in and you actually see what you have done to yourself...

 

good luck man, the chevy's are nice trucks, it was my second choice!

 

LMAO!!!!!!



X2!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Good truck, its my second choice.

 

Hate to see ya go. Good luck with your new truck!

 

thanks guys, well i loved all my CR's i had, great looks and motors, i just aint never been too happy with the 48re trannys, even with mine built, it still didnt feel right too me...and now, the allison is just a stronger tranny in general...but, i'll keep checkin in over here...

 

just swap the 48re out with the allison.....it can be done now.....i almost bought a d-max but the 4x4's just didnt look like 4x4's

 

I would be careful with the 05. Seems the 04.5-05 LLY had a lot of cooling issues. I would look into an 06-07 LBZ classic if it were me. I wouldn't be afraid to buy a new one either. Put some nice wheels and tires on it, crank the torsions up and call it good. If you can't swing a newer one then an 04 LB7 with low miles and mint condition would be my third choice. JMO of course.

 

get you a 6 speed and forget about the duratrash.

 

I came to a CTD from a 2005 LLY D-Max and would never go back. Agree 100% with the post above about seeking a 2006-07 LBZ model.

 

well, on the LLY, u really have to run them hard, and pull way heavy to get most of them hot, maybe 1 of 10 if that have overheated...they only more common prob with them is the #5 & #7 injector harness goin bad, but its under warranty so no biggie...i really wanted a LB7 though, just cause no EGR on them, but thats easy fix too, the LB7's with low miles is just hard to find.and the LLY's be built now are makin power like the LB7's and holding up just as well, but all that prob stuff is no deal, my buddy here has a 800hp LB7, and we've had its motor out 3 times, and gotten easier each time, so i've already learned some on it...lol

 

How'd your wife take it when you came out of the closet? Just kidding! Sorry to see you go, but I hope your new truck works out good for you.
