Currently have a 05 GMC 1500 with the lm7 and has 160k on it and starting to run funny and what not. Found another 07 nnbs i like and thinking about getting. Before i drive 3 hours to look at it could some one chime in and let fill me in with the motor size and what not this truck has and the rear end VIN listed below. Im almost sure its a 6.0 but not 100% sure Thanks for all the help guys

Oh nvm after i posted it. It have me a thing to decode it with. That was pretty sweet

 

the LM7 is a 5.3L
IF you look at the 8th digit in the vin it is a Y. which is a L76, 6.0L

 

Sounds like youre looking at VortecMax truck. Do you not have any pictures of it?

 

alum block 6.0

 

Yeah sir it is a vmax. They added some more pics and that was one of them this morning. Its a really nice truck got the stock 20's and all. Just hard to decide what i wanna do. I love my 05 and its almost paid for thats why ive been planning on making it fast lol. But my brakes are starting to mess up ad cant figure out why. Brake light will not stay on and the head light keeps blowing also lol. And my motor starting to act weak. But if i keep it im just gonna pull it and freashing evverything up once i start working on it.

 

Get in there and talk them down; they are asking a bit too much IMHO. When I got my 11 6.2 there was a used extended cab 6.2 on the lot for $29k with 1100 miles. That VMax is nice and would be a great truck as long as everything is in order, I just think you can do better on the money. You may want to get on it, before one of these other knuckleheads sweeps it out from under you

 

FYI my payments on my 6.2 (purchased new last year) are lower than their estimated payments for that truck at that price for the same loan term. Get with your credit union, get pre-approved for a loan with a better rate than they'll give you, show up with a lower offer, and walk out with that truck

 

Yeah Im gonna goo check it out this weekend when i get back home and see whats up with it. I really wanna keep my truck now cause i bought some 243 heads and have a 224 cam that my buddy has that im trading him a v2 torquer. but like i said im getting fed up with the head/tail light blowing and the brakes acting But we'll see this weekend once i get back in town from work and see what they say and check it out

 

I love my Vmax, defintiely worth the upgrade money.
