COOLANT IN OIL

[Freddo123]

Hey guys need help! I'm looking at a 01 lb7. Guy says the water pump was leaking so he had that replaced by a buddy and he had coolant in oil afterwards. Then he replaced the oil pump still nothing. Does this sound right ? I don't wanna get beat. I'm the truck has a built motor built trans with new injectors and head gaskets and studs. He says he thinks his buddy fucked up the seal / o ring and that's what's causing it. Hard fix ? Please let me know. Thanks .

Sounds like time to find another one to buy.

Someone selling a supposedly built truck with such a seemingly minor issue is a huge red flag any way you look at it

 

[Freddo123]

Yeah true i just really liked it haha. But this is true. Says he has 3 other trucks and he's done fucking with it

 

[clrussell]

I would hope it’s cheap enough to build another motor and come out ahead. If not I’d walk

 

[Freddo123]

He wants 8500. Just had the trans built to 800 hp

I’m not being a smart ass but, There is a difference of being “built” and built right. It also could have a internal block crack and just happed the be found during the water pump swap.

 

[Freddo123]

That's true. I was thinking that also. He kept telling me he was gonna just fix it and keep it but that never happened. So idk . I think I'm gonna pass. As much as i want it i don't want a huge head ache.

I would not buy that truck for that price at any time. Walk away.

 

[Freddo123]

He's saying there is no pressure in the coolant system

Because he wants your Money and his current Headache gone....

If it was "built" where is all the supporting documentation???

Definitely don't give 8500 for a risky buy like that..it doesn't take that long to dump 10k into a duramax fixing engine and trans issues

Yeah he's not budging on the price. I'll probably pass. Sucks because it's a nice setup truck. Shame. If i could get it cheap enough I'd take the gamble but 8500 is too much for something that may or may not be a water pump

@duramax on fire didn't you have a problem like this
