2007 Chevrolet Chevrolet Silverado 3500
Reliability tier: verified - see /disclosure/
Engine: 6.6L Duramax LMM (Duramax, 6.6L)
LMM generation: 365hp @ 3,200 / 660 lb-ft @ 1,600; common-rail Bosch CP3, Allison 1000 behind the diesel (context only). Build-date caveat: the 2007 'classic' body ran LBZ into early 2007; the new body from mid-2007 carries LMM with the first DPF. Verify per truck. First DPF Duramax: aftertreatment service content only (no defeat content exists on this platform).

- EGR cooler clogging / failure (LB7-LMM)

Platform recipes (6)
- CP3 and fuel-system contamination service (fm-dmx-fuel-system-health): the Bosch CP3 is fed by the OEM filter setup, and water/debris are the standing threats
- LMM DPF-era service (fm-dmx-dpf-era-service): the LMM (from mid-2007) is the first DPF Duramax
- EGR cooler service (fm-dmx-egr-cooler): the Duramax has carried cooled EGR since the LB7 (catalog-verified 97288793 for 2002-2004) and the coolers clog with carbon and eventually leak - the LLY-era heat reputation makes cooler health the first check on heat complaints
- Head-gasket replacement path (fm-dmx-head-gaskets): stock gaskets age and elevated cylinder pressures finish them
- Repair path for the LB7's defining failure (fm-dmx-lb7-injectors): hard starts, white smoke, fuel dilution on 2001-early-2004 trucks
- VGT turbo service path (fm-dmx-vgt-turbo): boost flutter, slow spool, smoke under load
