    "OFFICIAL" What did you do to your D-Max today?

    I had to cut my MBRP tips off with a grinder and one of my hangers broke putting a hole in the side... but I have 340,000km on the rest of my "cool duals" and I still like it.

    "OFFICIAL" What did you do to your D-Max today?

    Increased my constantly freezing off 15/32" PCV reroute hose to 3/4" and drained the freezing water that was collecting in the hose that remotely connects my MAP... maybe now I can drive below -25C again... what a PITA when your reroute freezes and you blow oil everywhere and your MAP freezes...

    Book by Cadillac

    I have an Escalade. It's great... I have a V, it's great. I'd love to be able to have both for less than my current Escalade payment... that sounds like a States deal... wonder if we have it in Canada?!

    Trans fluid changes

    You're crazy! ;) but seriously, if nothing else, please, for me, change your spin on. They are 10 dollars from Allison and you will notice better shifting. At least I do.

    LB7: Injectors, bent rods, or?

    Don't mean to hijack but I've got the exact same issue here in AB. I had to cold start it twice now without being plugged in, it didn't used to care, sure does now. Turns over good, starts good, 5 seconds into running starts to shake and buck until it gets warmed up... takes more than 60 seconds...

    blown out dipstick

    Thanks guys but I mostly meant turbo and heads. That amount of oil blow by might clog something up??

    blown out dipstick

    UPDATE!! Almost 4 years later, it happened again lol and again I was worried I holed a piston... nope, PCV Plugged. 10 quarts of brand new amsoil 5-40 (literally brand new) oil out under the hood and this time the exhaust pipes... serious blow by, it was -30C again... runs like a champ now that...

    Poll time!!

    Is this even a question? I have 215k miles on my LBZ. The week I bought it I got an intake, exhaust and Crazy Larry (for those of you who remember). Been pushing more and more power since. I'd tell you everything that was still stock but I'd have to knock on wood. ;)

    LBZ: HELP Converter Locked??

    Unfortunately the local transmission shop says there are 2 burnt clutch packs, funny, dad said it'd never slipped... Looks like he did some towing with the locked converter... would that maybe cause the damage?

    LBZ: HELP Converter Locked??

    Thanks everyone for the help! One more question, can a bad converter cause future trans problems? GM is saying the pressures are low but their track record so far isn't confidence inspiring.
