    Edge CTS2 questions and a problem

    Plan on getting an Insight CTS2 tomorrow. Found one for a good deal. Are these good units? Simply want it for monitoring, truck ('06 LBZ) already has a 100hp PPEI tow tune. Model number on the unit is 84130. I just want to make sure it will work on my truck and that it's a good unit worth the...

    LBZ 100hp tune?

    Just got my truck back from the shop.. New turbo, EGR delete, and they also put in a Kory Willis PPEI EFI Live 100HP tune. I asked them about possible problems with the trans, and they said this tune won't do any harm to the truck. Everyone I've talked to though has told me any power over stock...

    Duramax belt replacement

    About to do a belt replacement on my '06 LBZ. I've watched all the YouTube videos there are to watch. Just wondering if any of you old timers have a few extra tricks up your sleeve to make the job easier? I haven't even started, but just by looking at it I can tell me and that fan shroud are...

    In no way shape or form would I use this stuff, but just curious if anyone HAS used the Super Tech diesel oil and what their experience was with it?

    LB7 bad fuel pressure regulator?

    Friend of mine is looking at a 2003 LB7 with 165k on the clock. Injectors have been replaced, owner proof with shop records. I went with him to look at it, since I've come to know a good deal about the Duramax after owning mine for a while. I noticed it had a lope/surge at idle, which...

    P0299 code turbo vane solenoid?

    I've had this code since I got the truck. Finally got around to taking it to a local diesel shop for a check up and he said my P0299 and P003A code are because of the turbo vane solenoid (NOT THE POSITION SENSOR.) I specifically asked him to check the turbo for anything wrong, and he said the...

    What did you think when you first heard about the Duramax?

    This is somewhat of a stupid question, but I am curious.. Back in 2000-2001 when y'all first heard about the new Duramax (LB7) for GM trucks, what did y'all think at first? I wasn't even old enough to care at that time lol, so I'm just wondering what your initial thoughts were when GM announced...

    6.5 Detroit diesel

    I've been tossing the idea around about possibly finding a 2500 or 3500 with the 6.5 Detroit for cheap to just mess around with and fix up. Been doing a lot of research on this engine, and I've seen nothing but issues with the PDM location and injector pump. Also I've been seeing that you're...

    Bad injector/head gasket symptoms

    Brother that owns a welding business has a whole fleet of Duramax work trucks. I went and just helped him out a bit today and went to start up one of the trucks that had been sitting for a while un used (2005 with the LLY.) The truck sounds like it's making a loud "knocking noise." Almost like...

    Progamming keyless remote

    2006 2500HD. I'm trying to figure out how to program my second keyless remote. Well I should say, I know how to program it, but here's my issue. I have 2 remotes. One works perfectly fine. When I do program the 2nd one, the other remote no longer works. Same thing happens visa versa... So...

    Duramax won't start after fuel filter change

    Literally just got the truck on Wednesday. It's a 2006, and it's my first diesel. Changed the fuel filter today, and cannot for the life of me get the system primed back up. I loosened the bleeder screw, and have been pumping for so long that there's a blister on my hand. Can't get any prime at...

    Towing capacity

    I'm currently in the process of finalizing the transaction on a 2006 2500HD with the LBZ Duramax in it. This is going to be my first diesel, and it will be used for towing. I'll be towing nothing near the max capacity, but out of curiosity, what is the maximum amount of weight you can put...

    Duramax diesel questions

    Went and looked today and found a 2003 Duramax 2500 with 216k miles that I'm very interested in. It's very clean, very well taken care of. Here's my only concern: The guy started it up. It was cold, and it started right up no problem. For some reason, it sounded like it had some kind of...

    What to look for in buying used.

    I posted a while back on which year of DMAX I should be aiming for for my first diesel. I'm ready to really start looking now. Simple question is, what in general is there to look for in these trucks when buying used? With my price range I'll most likely be ending up with an LB7 or LLY. Never...

    What do y'all think?

    Found a 2003 2500 with 254k miles on it for a good deal. Owner said it has had injectors replaced. From the pictures it looks extremely clean. It's about 300 miles from me, and I'll be willing to go up there and take a look but just wondering what y'alls thoughts are about it. I'm assuming after...

    Looking at getting a Duramax

    New to the forums, not sure if this where I should have posted this... Anyways, I'm currently looking at finding a clean used DMAX. What I'm planning to do is sell an '03 chevy Avalanche, and take the money from that to a DMAX around the same year with decent miles on it and what not. Reason...
