I have the 2006 LBZ it only has 67,000 miles on it. Bought it new only drove it on weekends and when we towed. Now since retired sold my work car and drive it all the time. Although we are on road a lot now.
Engine wise besides oil changes and fuel fitlers. I have replaced 1 glo plug. And idler pulleys on serpentine belt. Al though Conrads replaced alternator when they thought that was the problem instead of the idler pulleys. But it was not.

Both front wheel bearings have been replaced as well as front and reare brakes.
I had minor leaks in transmission lines when still under warranty.
Truck is 9 years old, still looks great, runs great. 4x4 crew cab.

That's actually the most work I've seen needed done to a low mile Dmax about ever. You must be hard on brakes and had some bad luck with the front unit bearings.
Either way, the 06 LilLy or LBZ are great trucks and both respond well to moderate programming or tuning if you think you're short on ponies or torque.

Actually it is more the norm which is to be expected for a truck towing trailers. My Ram has seen front end work though my tranny lines and brakes are still OEM. Brakes are right about due though. I would think the EB extended their life by 50% since most of the miles are towing LARGE items :B
GM had a a bit of brake line, tranny line issues but that engine and tranny combo is certainly a winner with no big issues.

87,000 miles on a '06 LBZ. Three glow plugs. Replaced one myself, one done as a "good will" @ no charge and one @ $1,000 ded. under emissions warranty. Replaced 2 transmission lines because of leaks. If there is a "known" problem with the '06 LBZ it is the transmission line leaks.
