I'm back! just bought an '04 DA LB7

[DChristie]

Hi everybunny!!

I haven't been around for several years. I sold my 95 6.5 and dropped off the boards.

In the mean time, I got married, and recently bought an '04 DA crewcab longbox 4x4. Really nice truck with only 127k on it.

It has the LB7 engine and other than that I don't know yet.
I bought the TDP books vol 1 & 2 but haven't recieved them yet.

No issues I know of, I'm sure they'll turn up...

Anything I should keep an eye out for?

Welcome back, and congrat's all around! I hope both are keepers.

Yeah when she starts sounding more and more like her mother, and the scale disappears from the bathroom.

That's not funny...

It's HILARIOUS!!! Thanks!

In all seriousness, here is the list of items that I'd watch/address on that year truck, with those miles:

• inspect transfer case for leaks. keep it clean and watch for the beginnings of any, or loss of fluid if it does develop the dreaded hole from inside
• same with diffs - keep them clean and watch for pinion seal leaks that can lead to low fluid
• fuel treatment. I ran a lot of cheap transmission fluid through my '02 LB7 that I traded running strong at 285K with 110K on the second set, even though they were 'light smokers' early on
