    Louder Duramax

    You will be opening up a can of worms doing that. And it’s not as easy as you think. The days of just throwing an exhaust on are long gone.

    Best ball joint

    I haven’t tried some of the joints that were mentioned but i have used Napa joints and they are nothing but overpriced junk. I have tried the Kryptonite with no longevity and who cares about warranty when you gotta be changing them all the time. So far my best luck has been the GM joints and...

    Who makes GM brakes?

    I got a Russel ss line kit for my truck but the rear center line was wrong size on the frame end. Contacted Russel about it and they said they will see what they can do and never heard boo back. Mean time i heard about the Crown band of line so i contacted them about a center line and yep they...

    Some LBZ questions...

    I have the high idle Pto switch wired in on my LBZ. All it needs is a 12v supply and it will work. I also have the DSP5 but my high idle is not included in it. Unless you call the factory high idle included.

    2016 LML. Maybe a bad injector?

    Hey glad to see you over here. Depending on the problem this forum is a better help and as a whole has better and more techi members. As you probably found out you got better help than the other forum. And by the way im not sure a tech 2 will work on your truck. The newer GMs have a newer system...

    911 HELP

    No sock that i know of on any Duramax even the brand new ones. Don’t know that the 2001+ gas trucks have fuel socks either. All have a pick up similar to what posted above. I would make sure the vent is open. Take the fill cap off and see if problem persists. If still sucking it down its time...

    Snap On vs. Autel

    My cousin runs a big auto shop. He has mostly the latest snap-on and multiple units of them but also has an Autel and one other brand I’m not sure of. There are things the snap-on will do and autel wont and vice versa like said above. One major advantage snap-on has is the operating system is...

    LBZ Fan Clutch

    You guys talking about that wagon wheel make me think of what i did to mine. I had initially taken a dremel and cut out all the wagon spoke looking things and only left the mounting points like the LML and newer are. Makes it much easier to get to things. I have since removed that wheel...

    Catastrophic turbo failure - 72mm Danville performance- Now what?

    Got Sludge?

    He has a private shop But John Deere is primarily what he works on. As far as i know its happened on others too. Some of the excavation guys around will refuse to run bio in their excavators.

    Got Sludge?

    My opinion on this is that it is very true. My cousin is a tractor mechanic and they have changed fuel pumps just because the machine was sitting over winter or summer with bio in the system. Makes the fuel system rust.

    2022 Allison fluid change?

    James is right except I’m not sure what drain plug he is referring to. All the 10L1000s I’ve worked on only have the level check plug. Also the fill plug is a pain to get fluid in as it’s right by exhaust. Requires a pump of some sort. I wish it was all like the original Allisons still.

    Did I blow it up?

    It will at the least need a bore job. If it’s got a hole torched from the injector it may have a hole in the cylinder wall.

    Did I blow it up?

    I’m almost wondering if you didn’t torch a piston and the crankcase vent is plugged and it blew the rear main seal out. See if the puffs of smoke at bellhousing stop if you leave oil fill cap off?

    Frame Differences?

    It’s been about a year ago now. It was on a truck a fixed and sold but its local yet so i could maybe check on it sometime.

    Frame Differences?

    Yep. This stuff is as close to the factory stuff that I’ve ever found. I’ve used it on redoing a frame. Remains to be seen how it lasts.

    Boost sensor question

    I think Josh gave you good advice. My guess is it needs a new MAP sensor. Total different sensor than the MAF.

    Help please, dropped driveshaft

    Yep looks like the extension/tail housing disintegrated when your shaft went. She wont drive as it is. Yes you will need to pull the transmission to stand it on end so you dont loose parts when doing the change. You can probably find a used one online or a salvage yard like Hicksville Auto...
