Gotta be a 3.0 Dmax.
But lol, anyone who gets 2 grand for pads and rotors and $200 for an oil change on a goddam half ton Chebby can’t be trusted so who knows what was actually the problem although owner noticed an oil leak and left with a new wiring harness.
That shop saw that poor sucker coming from a mile away. And judging by the myriad of unrelated repairs done, sounds like vehicle that got no maintenance or very little.
What was the point of the post anyway? Has nothing to do with buying a 20 year old dually.

Yeah scam shop and bad truck owner.
It's just a duramax is all, in the post i said it was much newer. Just a data point on a more modern duramax for the OP.

The biggest issue you’ll find with older Duramax trucks or any older electronic injected diesel for that matter, is that many have been abused by kids who threw a tuner on dad/granpa’s already well-used old farm truck and ran the piss out of it with little to no maintenance.
Look at what you’re buying carefully if you go the diesel route, many of the drivetrain components are far more expensive than that of a gas truck and a “cheap truck” can turn expensive really quickly if you get one that’s bad enough.

My tuner buddy has tuned two 8.1 swapped squarebodies (both in CCLB 4x4s) that had heads/cam from Raylar and he said they were impressive.
