    Welcome. Jason said it very well. The lift pump is a must.

    Sulastic shackles after 30k

    I had the exact same thing happen to mine. Said screw it and put them on the scrape pile. I think in the south where they dont see the corrosion they might last better. Edit: I see i posted on this thread before so you can see that comment as well.

    Lbz vs lml

    The 2007 would be my pick if you could get the price down. The 2015s are nice trucks but i am not a LML fan. Really all he prices seem a little high to me. Depending on what you want to use the truck for the 2007 will work great. If your gonna be towing bigger loads go for the either of 2015s...

    Screwed maybe?

    I’m right with James here. It’s probably 6 of one or half a dozen of the other as far as how to access the crank. Pull the engine or drop front axle and tranny to remove oil pan. Pulling that piston and replacing with another isnt that bad but here comes the scary part. Almost always it damages...

    2017 L5P vs 2020 L5P

    2017 L5P vs 2020 L5P

    Long block wise they are the same. Complete engine wise there is a coolant line going to the turbo that is different, and the actuator for the turbo has plug flipped around. The right side accessory bracket will be different if your complete engine has that included. The 2020 will have the...

    Hot Shot Secret vs Optilube

    I agree whole heartedly with James that it depends on the vehicle on what results you get. I usually brush aside claims of getting x amount better MPG. I did the same as Jason by using different off the shelf stuff from the auto store with little difference in how it ran and so forth. I do think...

    Hot Shot Secret vs Optilube

    I used to use 2 cycle oil as well until i tried OptiLube. The 2 cycle creates ash as well as does not add cetane or have antigel properties. Until OptiLube i had used different brands of additives that didnt do much if anything. The 2 cycle oil did only 1 or 2 things and that is added lubricity...

    Hot Shot Secret vs Optilube

    I’m right with you and would have a hard being convinced to use something else as OptiLube just plain works wonders.

    Lmm engine replacement 2008/2009

    Get the codes checked out but i would guess most will be basically history codes. I dont think your engine light will stay out until you move the injector flow rated from the 2009 GPCM to the ECM. If you are using the 2009 TCM i would make sure it has the right operating system for your truck...

    Lmm engine replacement 2008/2009

    So may i ask why you put the 2009 electronics in to start with? Unless there are problems with one or the other i would keep the original 2008 ECM and use the GPCM that came with the engine to copy over the new flow rates into the original ECM. I may be wrong here but i dont think the GPCM will...

    01-10 steering box redhead ,PSC ,OEM

    Yes it does look like the correct box. That said it is minus one key thing that i think it should have and that is an adapter for the one PS line. Like Brad said you wont go wrong with PSC. I have both their pump and 6 bolt gear on my truck and am very happy with them. I do agree this eBay find...

    Lifting the cab

    Good idea there.

    Lifting the cab

    Upper & lower rad hoses intercooler pipes fan shroud removed from rad. Just unhook and let it stay with engine as i dont think it will come out completely. Just dont forget to put it back before lowering the cab again as it may be a real mess getting it back in. power steering hoses for the...

    Balancer pin shearing caught on time.

    Ive got a handful of those OEM crank pins in my shop if you need any. I would advise doing the pin deal like was said. https://www.xtremediesel.com/xdp-duramax-crankshaft-pin-kit-xd331
