    Picking up a new 2024 3500HD tomorrow, can't decide if i should get the extended warranty or not. Is it worth it for these trucks? Did you ever use it or wish you bought it?

    Drive pressure leak

    I've had a slight drive pressure leak that I finally have had time to look into. You can hear the faint 'whine' when the motor isn't up to temp and boost starts to build and goes away when you let off the throttle. Once the motor is up to temp you can barely hear it but it's still there. I...

    12" Touchscreen headunit

    Anyone ever see or use one of these in person? They look cool and I think they'd be alot nicer of an upgrade vs anything else other than stock. https://www.ebay.ca/itm/394560272486?hash=item5bdd9ff866:g:WWAAAOSwCINkF7mW...

    My truck is giving me some injection rattle issues while at hiways speeds in the 1600-1700rpm range. The rpms with go up/down about 30-50rpms while staying the same speed with the cruise control on driving on flat hiway under light throttle. As soon as there is a good headwind or incline and the...

    It's damn cold out and I need to plug my truck in at work. Everytime I do it and I'm out of town every gfci outlet trips. If I plug it in at home it doesn't trip at all. Is my element going bad?

    Sulastic shackles after 30k

    While I'm waiting for my new rear leaf springs to come in I decided to look at the sulastic shackles I put in about 30k miles ago.... For the $400 I'm not sure these were even worth it. Should I junk these and just get stock replacements?

    I was reading up on the new Koenigsegg Jesko mega car and found it quite interesting that the car has a 20lb air tank with electric compressor that injects into the turbos to eliminate turbo lag completely. "The air injection system comprises a small electric compressor driving air from a...

    New turbo time

    It's time to change out my turbo. I have ran the danville 72mm vgt for 8-9 years now and for 100,000 miles and it hasn't skipped a beat. The reason I want to change it is that my usage for the truck has changed and it doesn't suit my needs anymore. I used to do lots of hi way driving where I was...

    Chasing a Ghost. Timing at idle.

    Hey guys, I've been slowly fixing every issue on my truck trying to make it run like it used to. The problem I'm having is a persistent rough idle and sluggish throttle response with more than usual black smoke until the turbo lights. Even sometimes on my bigger tunes I get the odd pop or light...
