    I have a 2008 LMM that has 194,000 miles on it. It has the Turbo Brake and DPF delete tune and for the most part it is stock. Every time I start the truck when the truck is cold I hear this loud noise / knock coming from the engine. I can hear the noise from inside the cab with the windows...

    Shocks

    I appreciate the recommendations. I am going to go with the KYB Monomax shocks, because of there lifetime warranty. That is HUGE to me when buying wearable items that could fail early. Thanks all!

    Shocks

    I am looking for a recommendation for replacement shocks. The truck still has the original OEM shocks on and I would like to get some heavy duty replacements. Does anyone have any good recommendations for front and rear? Brand? Model and Type? Thank you in advance.

    Truck loses power and smokes

    I am a newbie you know that.....I just do not get why it was working before then all the sudden it does it after we tuned it and put the exhaust on. I guess you can call me "Murphy" after Murphy's law. Do you think it could work itself out if we drive it enough? :)

    Truck loses power and smokes

    John from the Duramax Store I spoke to John from the Duramax Store and he stated to me he bets it has something to do with the Mass Air Flow values in the tune that was put in. Since it was not happening before the exhaust was installed and now that it is occurring after the exhaust was...

    Fuel Tank in CC/LB

    We are planning on doing that. I am just trying to maybe see if anyone else had the same issue or experience with this issue. I do not want to have to buy the sending unit if I do not have too. I have already purchased the gasket for the sending unit. Thanks for your help!

    We have been indoors all weekend. These tornado's in St. Louis and all over the US are kicking our butts. I do not get all this rain. I want to be able to work on my truck at some point. I am thinking this is one hell of a spring we are having. I am wondering what our summer will be like. PM me...
