Looking at a 2022 refresh LM2 with 323000km in it. I figure these motors have been pretty good but dont know alot of people who keep em past 200K.

Oil pump belt has been done and full service history at gm dealerr, guy is very particuler. ECM is already unlocked from hpt so thats a bonus.

Any thing specific i should look for considering the milage? Price is right a 25k cad. Its a AT4 truck and very nice, you would never guess it has 300km on it.

If its well maintained and everything is tight/good right now, I’d buy it. Had to do a couple front crank seals and they are not simple. Otherwise, few aftertreatment issues but not a ton. Everything being under the hood helps that. Also very peppy but suck def. Obviously easy fix though

The emmisions are already “fixed“ also. I was holding out for a max tow equipped truck. But this one does have airbags so kinda solves half the issue withna heavy trailer. Problem is my enclosed trailer is rated 9900 and this truck is 8800 I believe. Trailer with car in it comes in around 8600. I’m thinking I may be borderline not legal or at least dissapointed with how it pulls.

Eh the tow rating wont make the lm2 feel any better power wise or stopping wise. May need to fo a 24hr test drive from a dealer and see how it does when you get it home.
