This Bosch 0445120042 new LBZ injector is a direct-fit replacement that maintains OE fuel system function and operation on the Silverado 2500 HD, Silverado 3500, Sierra 2500 HD, and Sierra 3500 with the LBZ engine.

- Your 2006-2007 LBZ Duramax needs an injector and you want all-new Bosch components with no core charge and no core return process.
- You want to restore OE fuel delivery and idle quality on the 6.6L LBZ common rail system without reusing any components.
- Lower upfront cost is the priority - the Bosch 0986435521 remanufactured LBZ Duramax injector covers the same application with a core return process.
- Your truck is a 2007.5 or later LMM - the LBZ ended mid-2007 and the LMM uses a different injector.
- Your truck is a 2004.5-2005 LLY or 2007.5-2010 LMM - those generations each use a different injector.
- Engine code is LBZ. The 2007 model year split mid-year - early-build 2007 trucks are LBZ, 2007.5 and later are LMM.
- Injector failure is confirmed by diagnostic testing, not assumed from symptoms alone.
Bosch 0445120042 New vs. 0986435521 Reman - LBZ Injector Comparison
The Bosch 0445120042 new and the Bosch 0986435521 reman LBZ injector cover the exact same 2006-2007 LBZ Duramax application. Choose this new injector if you want all-new Bosch components, no core charge, and no core return process. Choose the reman if lower upfront cost matters more and you are comfortable with the core return process. Both are Bosch-built for the 6.6L LBZ common rail fuel system.
LBZ Duramax Injector Failure Symptoms
Owners of 2006-2007 Silverado and Sierra trucks with the 6.6L LBZ frequently search for a replacement LBZ injector after experiencing rough idle, hard starts, misfires, white or black smoke, or declining fuel economy. Low power under tow load and uneven idle are also consistent with LBZ injector degradation. These symptoms are consistent with injector wear or failure. If diagnostic testing confirms a failed injector, the Bosch 0445120042 is the correct replacement for the LBZ. Verify the injector is the confirmed source before ordering.
Why Choose the Bosch 0445120042 New LBZ Injector

Every injector undergoes extensive end-of-line testing using the exact test specifications and equipment of the original component before shipping. A direct-fit replacement that maintains OE fuel system function and operation on the 6.6L LBZ without modification, tuning, or calibration. No core return is required.

Common Ordering Mistakes to Avoid
- Ordering for a 2007.5 LMM. The 2007 model year split mid-year. Early-build 2007 trucks are LBZ. 2007.5 and later are LMM and require a different injector. Confirm the engine code before ordering.
- Confusing LBZ with LMM. These are different engine families with different injector part numbers. The LBZ ran 2006-2007; the LMM began at 2007.5. Verify the engine code on the RPO sticker before ordering.
- Ordering 6 for a full engine set. The 6.6L LBZ Duramax is a V8 with 8 cylinders. A complete engine set requires 8 injectors.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will the 0445120042 fit my 2007 Chevy Silverado 2500 HD with the 6.6L Duramax?
It depends on the build date. The Bosch 0445120042 fits 2006-2007 trucks with the LBZ Duramax engine. The 2007 model year split mid-year - early-build 2007 trucks have the LBZ, while 2007.5 trucks have the LMM. Confirm the engine code is LBZ before ordering a 2007 model. A 2007.5 LMM requires a different injector.
What is the difference between the LBZ and LMM Duramax injector?
The LBZ (2006-2007) and LMM (2007.5-2010) are different Duramax generations that use different injectors. The 0445120042 is for the LBZ only and will not fit an LMM. The split happened mid-2007 - early 2007 trucks are LBZ, 2007.5 and later are LMM. LLY (2004.5-2005) injectors are also different. Confirm your engine code on the RPO sticker before ordering.
How many injectors do I need for a complete 6.6L LBZ Duramax set?
The 6.6L LBZ Duramax is a V8 engine with 8 cylinders. A complete engine set requires 8 injectors. This listing is sold individually - order quantity 8 to replace all injectors at once.
Does the 0445120042 come with a core charge?
No. The Bosch 0445120042 is a brand-new injector with no core charge and nothing to return. If you want a lower upfront cost and are comfortable with a core return, the remanufactured Bosch 0986435521 covers the same LBZ Duramax application.
Does the 0445120042 replace GM number 97361355?
Yes. GM 97361355 is a confirmed cross-reference for the Bosch 0445120042 LBZ Duramax injector. If your LBZ injector carries that number and your truck is a 2006-2007 LBZ Duramax, the 0445120042 is the correct new replacement.
My LBZ Duramax is hard to start and has low power - is this the right part?
Hard starts and low power on the 2006-2007 6.6L LBZ Duramax are consistent with injector wear or failure, but can also have other causes. If diagnostic testing confirms a failed injector, the Bosch 0445120042 is the correct replacement for the LBZ. Verify the injector is the confirmed source of the symptoms before ordering.
