    Head unit

    Yeah, that was going to be my comment. Not much available for quality car decks out there. Go to Crutchfield and find out. Honestly if you are looking for Apple Car Play and trying to keep it under $500, GOOD LUCK! There are some cheap, never heard of, decks out there that might do Car Play...

    Howdy Yall, looking for recommendations for LMM ECM expertise in the Weatherford Tx/Fort Worth area.

    That is one thing I have noted. Since diesel prices are up I have not been driving the truck as much. I do know that if I let the truck sit for 5 days or more without running the batteries will be very weak. My batteries are 4 years old and even fully charged the truck will turn over and...

    Howdy Yall, looking for recommendations for LMM ECM expertise in the Weatherford Tx/Fort Worth area.

    I feel your pain brother. My GMLAN low speed databus issue is back again. More than frustrating after replacing both the BCM and the air bag (SRS) module. The only thing I can add to your issue is to check the engine harness that runs along the back of the engine. That is a known issue for...

    LMM cp3 making noise?

    Do you ever loose prime or take a while when starting after sitting? A decent lift pump is a great investment in a pre L5P Duramax. I don't go for all the increased mileage some boast about but a definite in idle quality and a long CP3 and injector life even for a stock LMM. Dean

    LMM cp3 making noise?

    Maybe someone with more CP3 experience than I can answer but if the CP3 was going out there would be many symptoms of that and you are not experiencing any of them. The only thing I can think of if is you are sucking a bit of air in thru the factory filter head. Not enough to give any codes...

    LMM cp3 making noise?

    GM has a service letter our about the Duramax "typewriter" tick. Very common especially after an oil change. From what I have been told this is an air pocket that can develop in the lifter passage. Some are worse than others. My 08 used to do it and take about 50 to 100 miles for it to clear...

    Reading "Live Data Stream" from an 08 Yukon xl 2500 6.0l

    I had purchased an Autel MK808 tablet but when I found out it was not bi directional I turned it back into Amazon. Autel does have a decent tech line that you can call or email. They might be able to give you more details to your questions. Dean

    What are you paying for Diesel in your area?

    With a bit of searching I can find $4.59 in Omaha ($4.79 is the most common here). I need to fill up tonight after work. The one disadvantage of going with the S&B 62 gallon tank, you got to fill it from time to time. Might need to take a second mortgage out first! Still better than the $5+...

    Best Bourbon or Whiskey

    My favorite is a toss up between Knob Creek 12 year and Chattanooga Whiskey cask 111. Technically not a bourbon but if you like the Jack Daniels taste profile the Cask 111 is awesome! Can't go wrong with the 1920 Prohibition Style Old Forrester either. Mightily tasty with a Fuente 8-5-8...

    Need help with lift pump sump, nowhere to install

    Probably my mistake since the whole thread was about installing a lift pump I assumed you were referring to the return from the lift pump. No worries, thanks, Dean

    Need help with lift pump sump, nowhere to install

    I agree with your statement but the issue is in regards to a FASS lift pump. What fuel is not used to feed the CP3 or CP4 goes thru a pressure bypass on the FASS unit. This is aerated fuel is returned to the fill hose going to the fuel tank. That in itself should not be an issue. Now I can...

    Need help with lift pump sump, nowhere to install

    Really? Since the pump does not put that much pressure into the system and what is returned to the tank did not go into the delivery system how much heat does it really add? Have you measured that? Dean

    Need help with lift pump sump, nowhere to install

    I would think the one exception would be with the S&B aftermarket fuel tank. That one is designed to have a sump added. The bottom of the tank where the sump would go has some raised areas around the sump would mount. I was thinking the LMM and LML were the two Duramaxes that had the biggest...

    2021 Silverado 3.0 review thread.

    Yeah, normally run T6 5w40 in my LMM year round. No issues whatsoever. I could not imagine what techs will go thru wrenching on the 3.0. Just don't see people working on it in their back yard. Going to need a lift and tranny jack for the oil belt and even then it won't be fun. That is part...

    Does it have a scheduled life limit?

    2021 Silverado 3.0 review thread.

    I got a couple Subaru vehicles that use 0w20. Man the stuff is like water. Maybe I'm just showing my age of what oil should be like but honestly if the tolerances are set up correctly the oil should be fine. My biggest concern with oil that thin is in a vehicle that sits for long periods of...

    2021 Silverado 3.0 review thread.

    I agree, I do think that is the key. Personally if I was someone who normally get a new truck every 5 to 8 years I would have little issues purchasing a truck with the 3.0. Just don't think I would get a used one with high miles for the reasons listed earlier. Dean
