    Needing new tires soon. Thoughts?

    Most any reputable tire shop is not going to mount a 4 or 6ply tire on your truck, my shop included, purely for liability reasons. However, if you drop off the wheels loose, they have plausible deniability and will mount just about anything for you. I have personally run a 4ply Goodyear Wrangler...

    February '25 Chat -- Ya Just Gotta Love Duramax Diesels!

    I did! I said it would never happen, aaaannnndddd then it happened almost 9 years later. The long weekend with family and friends in Stowe, VT was everything we had hoped it would be, and then some! A couple of lifelong friends I've made from this forum were in attendance as well, and we had a...

    Problems with new GM TechLine Connect.

    I am an independent subscriber, and haven't really noticed anything different with Techline's operation other than they seem to have removed my access to certain service bay tests, and the service bay tests I have tried recently were glitch and would not even work. I had to full flash an LML ecm...

    Snap On vs. Autel

    And the cost of having these tools on hand is why good Indy shops should not be afraid to charge appropriately. The cost of tooling up a good indy mechanic is at least 3x the cost of tooling up a dealer tech. The education takes longer and costs more too. Indys should charge at least what their...

    Snap On vs. Autel

    I gotta say that the tablet itself for the Ultra is faster than the Zues. The diag software is slower for the Ultra because it has so much more capability and is trying to load from the cloud. The Zues is a little more standalone from the cloud, but doesn't have the options the Autel has

    Snap On vs. Autel

    Maybe I haven't found it yet, but anything that needs to be coded with NCSExpert, the Ultra cannot do.

    Snap On vs. Autel

    I have the same situation. I've been playing with the Ultra a little bit, and as much as I don't like the Zues or Snapon's preloaded BS, the ultra just doesn't cut the mustard for me. I want something better for standalone use off the grid. I may try a topdon. The Zues leaves A LOT to be desired...

    Brake issue

    For what little it may be worth, I have not had good luck with Napa brake products in towing rigs. Premiums, fleet, didn't matter- they fade very quickly and feel like I'm trying to stop the rotors with ice cubes compared to even the Carquest Frontline brakes for a budget brake job on a tow rig...

    Well there goes my chances of 9s this year

    There are certain types of misalignment when they leak prolifically though. You have to be smart about where you place them in relation to any suspended weight, etc.

    Intercooler boot o-ring

    MA sells them. Or if you have a good Parker store around you, you can match it up with them. Or you can measure it yourself and order online

    L5P Coolant drain and fill

    The oil cooler housing is about as low and back as it gets. If you really are concerned about draining all of it, I'd drain from there.

    Cracked piston

    With the current poor available of parts, your best value and time-sensitive options are to swap in a good low mile Longblock or buy a budget build from DHD.

    Trying to locate a vibration

    It could be your output shaft bearing, or the bearings in your transfercase as well. As bearings wear and tolerances increase, their resonant frequency changes.

    Looking for Allison build/install options near Virginia.

    Call Evan at Inglewood Transmission and ask who his dealers/installers are in your area. I know of a few down there, but they are a few hours from you. Best just get the info from the source.

    Compound turbo tuning

    So message him and see if he will send you a base file with his vane tables for that turbo....for a fee. Either way, there are certainly ways to make it spool quickly, but it is a compromise. The 10 blade is just a bit laggy with stock injectors no matter how you slice it. Get bigger injectors...
