    LBZ: Rattle when block heater is plugged in

    LB7: Better mileage?

    Hi all!

    Just picked up a 2002 Duramax, a rust free Oregon truck. This was an unbelievable find for northern WI. where they toss salt on the roads if someone says snow! I own a small automotive and motorcycle repair shop up here, haven't worked on many diesels, so hopefully I can get some questions...
