    LML P0708 and P0706

    Bout had it with this damn truck. Head gaskets last month now this. How common is it for the TCM to go bad in these?

    Water pump brands

    Any one brand better than the rest? It seems Delco has been hit or miss in past few years on regular gas engine stuff for me so didnt know if one brand was better or all the same with the duramax. Not really looking forward to this repair. Would I benefit from doing the egr delete and/or pvc...

    Is there a lockup temp with t/h?

    Never realized this to recent as Ive always let my truck warm up but does t/h converter lockup have a minimum temp before it will lock up? Seems its right around 110* or so? Never paid attention before to know. Also are these LML converters crap like the older ones? As in when I load my 125hp...

    Wireless valves and ect...

    Ok so on my old HD I had a complete rear air bag setup with on board air, 6 gallon tank, electric solenoids, air line hook up, ect.... What I always hated was the lines running up to the overhead console where I ran my dual pressure single gauge. I had tank pressure and bag pressure all on one...

    So just changed oil last week and ran Rotella this time and I swear I keep smelling burnt oil and I have been all over this truck 20 times in the past week looking for a leak to no avail.

    Turbo vanes.....

    Ok so Im sure this is a dumb question to 99% of you guys but as many know Im a noob to diesels. Just had a thought the other day though.... What would happen if you kept the VGT vanes open all the time (0%)(to sound like the LB7) or close to open at all rpms? Would you still make boost or no...

    DIY shoc extenders

    Leveled the front for my new tires a few months ago now trying to get to the extenders for my shocks. Do you see any reason why you could not build your own and run them on top? Maybe even weld to the bottom and do it from there. Im sure someone has had to do this by now. Seems easy enough to...
