    How difficult is replacing the two heater hoses? I noticed I was losing coolant over time and had it pointed out that it was the cracked heater hoses. I included the quote to repair.

    LBZ: MAP sensor throwing check engine light, things to check for?

    My '06 Duramax is throwing an engine code linked to the MAP. I am running a K&N cleanable air filter, it's been on pretty much since I've had the truck. What are things to check for to diagnose the code? Thanks in advance!

    LBZ: Kate: From stock to now, and spring break

    Well, Kate's pretty much where I want her to be. I need to do some minor stuff like undercoating and paint touch up, and exhaust. She's no where near the biggest, baddest, or newest out there, but as a college student who paid for it all, I'm pretty damn happy with her. Started off as a stock...

    Fluid leak, possibly power steering?

    Truck is an '06 LBZ. Buddy's truck broke down yesterday so I towed him into a shop, and when I got back to my place afterwards I noticed oil drops on the concrete. Looked under and saw this. Power steering fluid dip stick was dry. I'm not very well versed in power steering, but what would...

    No heated seats?

    Recently my entire drivers side door controls stopped working on my '06 Duramax. I replaced the controls harness and it fixed everything: Windows, Mirrors, locks.. But still no heated seats. Any idea why?

    Finally lifted!

    Well, I finally stopped trying to talk myself out of it, and went with a 6" zone lift and 35's. No one warned me my vehicle would never be clean again due to the offset [emoji48][emoji23]

    Lift Kits for Dummies

    I've done all I can to talk myself out of lifting my truck, but it's killing me not being lifted. The look is just too appealing. That being said, I know next to nothing about lifts, and I'm a college student on a budget. I've currently only got a leveling kit on her. The truck in question is...

    15" sub and amp?

    I'd really like to throw a 15" sub in to compliment the two 10's I have behind the back seat. I'm not looking for top of the line by any means, but it must still be good quality sound. Any suggestions on brands, and amps?

    HELP, transfer case, 4 wheel low clunk

    My '06 LBZ was getting a pump rub (well actually it had it before but someone JB welded it without mentioning it) so I dropped it off at a shop with a new transfer case half, seals, and the pump rub kit. As soon as it was done I dropped it off to have audio work so I'm just now getting a chance...

    What are these? Stupid question.

    A few ago I got my headlights back and am absolutely loving them (so are the police [emoji19]). Just bought the LEDS for my pods and light bar so more to come in the future! The girls seem to love em too!

    Spare tire release broken, help!

    Today I went to do some rust removal work underneath the bed of my 2006 Chevy 2500HD LBZ and needed to remove the spare tire sling underneath to do so. To release it, you must use the joint rod that goes into the tube with a key locked cover. Well I was having hell getting it undone, when I...

    Rust is a nightmare, help!

    While washing the other day, I've noticed rust spots on the frame, and on the fog light grille of my ranchhand bumper. What do you guys use to get rid of the rust and prevent further rusting?

    Can I do it myself?

    Last week I went in to get oil changed, chassis lubed, and filters replaced. I usually do this myself but I haven't had the time. When I came back, they had a list of " little stuff" that "isn't bad now but will need to be replaced in the future." Well these "little things" totalled up to...

    Halo Lights

    Okay, so I'm looking at replacing my headlights and I really like the look of halo type lights. Now, before I go any further, I know there are better options like oracles and such, but I'm about to head off to college and do not have allot of spare money, so I flat out cannot afford the custom...

    New Guy from Texas

    Hey guys, the names Garrett. First, and most important, about my truck. Just got a 2006 2500 HD LBZ a few months ago (April). So far, I've added a leveling kit, tow mirrors, a Ranchhand full replacement bumper and grill, and the audio is completely redone. Still have allot to do, next being...
