Wish I could... And yes... Those two engine failures really hurt the black numbers... I'm not in a position to buy much of anything worth using to replace what I got now
"OFFICIAL" What did you do to your D-Max today?
- Thread starter Hot COCOAL
- Start date
That thing does seem cursed... There is a guy local to me, put 720k on his 05 LLY (no major Driveline failure), 580k on his 07 LBZ classic (same deal), and has over 300k on his LMM...of course he just pulls campers all over the US though.
Added tow mirrors to my truck, getting ready to buy my 8.5X28 Enclosed Car trailer.
Yeah 13k towhauler isn't that heavy

But that's also the around the max where any 3/4 ton and 1 ton should safely gross at...
Same engine/Trans are rated for 36k in GCWR in 5500 kodiaks... The weak linknis the rear axle in my truck..

Dropped $600.00 at the NCDMV renewing the plate on the 2008 2500HD and getting a plate for the new to me '56 Chevy 2 Ton Stake Body Dump Truck.
I just renewed my plates for my 07 lbz Monday... I got out a little cheaper though. Lol

NC is proud of their weighted plates
My renewal and taxes were like $170. what part of NC are you in? I'm between Goldsboro and greenville.

I would be happy if my registration was 170$.
I've forgotten to put mine under "storage" insurance plan every time it's been down. I seem to remember shortly after its abt to be running again.
:drama: That happened to me on my old 12v. Got it registered then scored the block and cracked the head
. There's a reason I gave up on Cummins LOL. That year I drove it 4 2months. The rest of the time it sat in the corner of our shop. I never registered it again, sold it and went to a Dmax:thumb:. Best financial decision.
Put another 100 miles or so on the truck and washed it for the first time since January

Dammm it Adam, that sucks...
Ya know people run their suck to us Dmax guys about well you don't see a Cummins breaking cranks, or see all these turbo failures or lifted heads and stretched studs.... There is one thing I've realized about those conversations.... They are the lazy drivers whom take it easy and do t ask for much out of their trucks... We on the other hand go from million mile road haulers to drag racing to truck pulling to weekend warrior racing and pulling some crazy chit!!!....... With the same basic motor design for over 15 yrs and running. We ask more out of these trucks than any other diesel out there... ( variety of stuff) for says well ya don't want a 6.0 if your pulling heavy stuff...or the stock 7.3 are good for this but ya have to turn em up for this... And Cummings with their well a manual is great for this or that, but a "P" pump motor is great with this or that.... We have the same damn motor and trans with exception of an extra gear here or there or may e a cheap easier injector replace...wtf. Fellas we are one of a kind. We get the best out of these motors all around. May not be cheap, bit neither is jumping to a different designed motor every year like the others.
