    Little Sarah Sand Dunes in OK.

    Little Sahara is an awesome place to vacation. We always camped at the north camp ground. It's a little more low key and usually less traffic. They even have a trail where you can ride, on sand, all the way in to town. Paddle tires are a must on the dunes. Definitely bring warm clothes. We...

    Gauge cluster issues

    I think you should be looking for the current instead of the voltage for the alternator. I'm not sure though. When I suspect alternator or battery problems I usually just pull it and let O'reillys or similar do a load test. That seems to give much better information in my experience. Someone...

    Gauge cluster issues

    Check the batteries and alternator. Since several gauges and the gear indicator are messing up it would make me think its a bad connection behind the cluster or the cluster isn't getting enough power. Also since the gear indicator comes on once you get moving that could be showing that once the...

    Grinding noise when turning left

    Replacing the PS pump worked for me. All of the grinding noise went away and a lot of brake pedal feel came back. I should've found time to replace mine a long time ago.

    Grinding noise when turning left

    What year is the truck? I have an LMM doing the exact same thing. Mine doesn't seem like front end parts though. My hydroboost went out 30k ago and my power steering fluid got low before I caught the problem. Because of this I'm thinking my problem is either the power steering pump(not leaking...

    LBZ: Leaking egr block

    If you really think you have to have one I would suggest buying another steel gasket like the one already in there to place on both sides of the plate. Considering how many plates have been installed without any extra gasket material I still think you have an issue with the bolts not being...

    LBZ: Leaking egr block

    There is a gasket already in there that stays against the exhaust side I believe. I don't remember for sure which side though. Make sure you didn't put the plate in backwards. You should be able to tell by the soot marks when you take it out. If they don't make a complete oval you either had it...

    Thanks. It's an awesome feeling to finally be finishing up. Which engineering program are you doing?

    electronics q...pat need your help.

    That's exactly what I was thinking. We had to do some of that for mechanical engineering but luckily we didn't have to go that in depth. Yea engineering is a tough one but you do start out making some good money right out of college. Even internships pay well. I'm graduating with a...

    LMM or LML engine hrs.?

    My LT trim LMM has engine hours in the DIC. I don't know about the DIC you mentioned from LMC Truck though.

    LMM: installed quadzilla stock no dpf program keeps going into regen?

    I'm not sure that mine does it that often but I am so used to it I rarely notice it any more. I would say its probably normal especially if the truck is driving fine. You might double check and make sure you loaded the non-dpf tunes for qzilla and not the dpf tunes.

    LMM: installed quadzilla stock no dpf program keeps going into regen?

    There shouldn't be any dpf related sensors in the exhaust. Usually the sensors are removed and any of the remaining electrical connectors are taped off to prevent getting any dirt in them. To the OP are you sure the rpms are increasing? Or does the exhaust go from a hissing sound to more of a...

    08 LMM EGR Delete?

    Mine is my first diesel also. I don't know much compared to most of the guys on this site but everything I learned, I learned from here. Stick around here for awhile and you'll learn plenty.

    08 LMM EGR Delete?

    The most I ever had done when I had the stealth 2 was the egr blocked and dpf deleted but I never had any codes for either. I completely deleted the egr after I got EFILive. One thing to try is to unplug any connectors going to the egr and see if it throws any codes...if it doesn't an egr...

    08 LMM EGR Delete?

    When I first bought my truck it had the stealth 2 and didn't have a blocker plate in and I could hear and feel it pop the egr open every now and then. Putting a blocker plate in definitely helped the drivability and kept it from pushing open but I still didn't like how laggy the truck felt...
