LBZ: Engine build/questions

[clrussell]

Just looked at it & don't see new mentioned
I'm not trying to start an argument over new or used
I would hope that it is a new used crank

The stock Duramax uses a dowel pin on the crankshaft and it is common to see high mileage or high horsepower engines with damaged or sheared dowel pins. DHD offers the best solution for that problem by selling our customers an upgraded crankshaft that will last for many years to come. Our machine shop has modified and added a keyway to each of these crankshafts for added shear strength over the stock dowel pin.

Just going off what I've read from other members using this crank. Where would dhd come up with hundreds of used Lml cranks anyway?

Saw that... odd.. 99% sure they were selling new ones last I saw

I emailed them today and the answer was $985 for a new keyed LML, the sale is on the refurb one.

Dhd sent an emotional out today 10% off Lml cranks. With keyway installed.. they are new cranks not reman

Evidently, another post noted a guy calling DHD and confirmed they are refurbished cranks. A new from the same vendor is over $1000.

I'll buy brand new from a parts dealer for under $700 and have a keyway machined.

I got mine from generalmotorspartsonline.com for $716 shipped and only took 2 days to get here

They will probably still end up snapping like the rest. 17 years isn't enough to to solve a problem like that :rofl
