    Default Traded in old for new(er)

    Hello all,

    Well yesterday I traded in the 01' (after making some minor repairs) for a 07' LBZ with 60k miles, and i couldn't be happier. The previous owner took it in to the dealer very regularly for its "Recommended Maintenance". I plan to install a secondary fuel filter, change out both axles to make sure they both have fresh synthetic and eventually install roof marker lamps ( i dont know why but I just love them). Is there anything else anyone would do? Oil was changed at dealership along with the Alison spin on.

    If you're buying from a dealer, have them give you a printout that lists all of the dealer visits and related service - routine or otherwise. Some of what might be included in the list could be helpful.

    Good luck with your new truck!

    My local dealer I bought it from does free car fax reports and I printed that off and have it on file. The truck was taken in pretty much every 8-9k miles for services, maintenance schedules, etc so I was happy to see that. Overall very happy with the truck. Now I need to install a trailer brake controller and a few other things.

    Congrats on your new purchase. I think you'll be happy with your LBZ.

    I have an LBZ ECM for sale, if you are interested. JK sells a good tow/haul a$$ tune for the LBZ.

    I was thinking about a Kennedy tune moreso to improve economy. I'm only getting an average of 15 MPG, 12.5 towing (according to the DIC). How much for your ecm?
