    2007 Silverado 2500 HD Crank No Start

    Here is the installation. The bracket uses the second mounting bolt for the bed just in front of the driver's side wheel well. The second pic shows the return line and how it connects to the tank fill line. Make sure to put the angle towards the tank. The 4th pic is not really clear. I was...

    MPG cut in half

    Sounds like you might have an air leak in your boost side. Might want to take a look at your boots coming off of the turbo compressor, your intercooler and around your air valve. Are you getting any black smoke when you get into it? Here is a good video that shows how to pressure test your...

    2007 Silverado 2500 HD Crank No Start

    Pretty straight forward job. You will need the quick release tools for the fuel lines going to the tank. If you have not seen them before I can send of pic of what they look like. Most certainly a driveway job, no need to drop the tank or anything like that. The lift pump uses a single...

    Trailer Brakes Too Weak

    A simple thing to check is your grounds. Both truck side of the 7 pin (the #1 blade) and the trailer side. Apply your truck brakes with the trailer lights on and see if the trailer lights go out or dim when the trailer brakes are applied. If your lights go dim or out when the trailer brakes...

    2007 Silverado 2500 HD Crank No Start

    I did the FASS 95 on my LMM. I also did the filter delete bowl on mine and made it easy to add a fuel pressure switch. It is adjustable and set it to make a ground when the pressure gets below 5 psi. That lights an LED on my dash and lets me know the pump is working or when under a heavy load...

    2007 Silverado 2500 HD Crank No Start

    One thing you might want to consider is a decent lift pump. The filter head sucking in air from the seals going bad is a common problem. Applying a small amount of fuel pressure to the CP3 cures a bunch of this. Easier for the seals to hold in pressure than holding up with suction applied...

    It is called unemployment compensation here. A separate severance package can be offered by some as a voluntary leave to avoid unemployment compensation. Dean

    Inflation .... whats your thoughts on todays Markets?

    The only real cure for inflation is raising loan interest rates. The Fed is doing that and I don't see that changing for some time. This is more of an example of the inflation and high mortgage rates from back in the Carter years. Home loans got up to 19% before inflation started to come back...

    Module confusion and issues on my 2008 LMM

    Well, I was about to give in and take it down to a specialty shop to bite the bullet and get this fixed. Then I came across this video. Source: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rwsfe4KT330 He does a great job explaining the GMLAN low speed (otherwise known as GM class 2) with the breakout...

    Module confusion and issues on my 2008 LMM

    BTW, I do have an aftermarket radio in the system. That includes two modules, the one that is the interface for the radio (chimes and warnings) and another for the steering wheel inputs. I thought that was my fix the first time I troubleshot this. Got a replacement from Crutchfield and things...

    Module confusion and issues on my 2008 LMM

    The ABS and trailer service messages cleared when I went back and plugged in the VICM. I knew something was up since I had no faults on either system on the diagnostics, just the communication codes. Who would have known, did not imagine that there was high speed data for the ABS or trailer...

    Module confusion and issues on my 2008 LMM

    The factory trailer module was disconnected during my attempts to isolate this problem and the issue still appeared. I just used this last trip to show just how intermittent the issue can be. Dean

    Module confusion and issues on my 2008 LMM

    I found the comb. Only problem is making a test harness to remove one at a time. If this was a hard fail it would be simple. Plenty of videos that show that and how it looks on a oscilloscope. My problem is that this whole issue is very intermittant. Connected my enclosed trailer with my...

    Module confusion and issues on my 2008 LMM

    That may be true for the GMLAN high speed buss but from everything I see the low speed buss is all wired in parallel and tied together thru the comb connector. I have already disconnected most of the modules individually on the low speed buss and still had communication thru the rest of the...

    EPA Smackdown

    The emissions standard was established by the Clean Air Act that Congress passed into law. I might be misled but I thought the tightening standards on emissions was being driven by the EPA. Dean

    "The Supreme Court dealt a significant blow to the Biden administration’s climate change agenda, ruling Thursday that the Environmental Protection Agency cannot pass sweeping regulations that could overhaul entire industries without additional congressional approval." Hmmmmmm, I wonder if this...

    Dragging brakes

    I think one thing that might help. With the brakes hot and dragging, jack up one wheel and put a diagnostic tool on the truck and turn on the ABS bleeding. Then see if the brake still drags. Dean
