stock IHI shaft and wheels
most of you have probably read my thread on my engine failure. Turns out my stock turbine wheel did not survive either. Does anyone offer a balanced rotating assembly for these turbos? id like to at least do a billet wheel maybe a 63.5mm compressor, as I can bore the housing out myself.- danzick

Lost the motor?
I think I'm 90% sure I lost the motor in this thing. I tried to merge on the interstate, and forgot I had it in 2nd. I went oh crap and let off to shift to drive and the truck started shaking like crazy. No oil pressure, white/blue smoke, and oil is dripping from the exhaust. Could I seriously... -
High engine temps
So I've been through this before with some of you. I have made some changes since. Climbing a 6% grade for about 5 miles, 80 degrees plus or minus pulling around 10k. My engine temps climb to 230+ towards the top. I have installed and oil cooler. Man what a difference in oil temps. I went from... -
1.15 ar for towing
I've been messing with my s475/stock kit for a lot of years now trying to get egts where I think they should be. I'd love to drop 100 degrees, but id be happy with 50. Imo my boost is low for grade towing. With the cruise at 70-75 climbing a grade with around 10k for a trailer weight, I'm only...- danzick

Problems from a 5 speed
I started noticing a hard shift from 1st to 2nd. Even just a very light throttle getting up to speed. This has been going on since probably August, but I hardly drive it so probably 400 miles or so. I got in it yesterday to back it out of the shop and it wouldn't move. Took a good 30 seconds to...- danzick

hard starts
This has been an issue for a couple years now, but it has gotten much worse. When I start the truck at 45 degrees or under, it knocks like crazy, idles like crap and smokes the shop completely out in a few seconds. Once It warms up for a minute or so, the idle smooths out and it runs fine. Truck... -
LS to LT seats
my 2004 is the LS trim package. I'm looking to turn it into an LT. I picked up a pretty nice set of leather heated seats with both seats being 8 way power.

mud flaps with roll pan
anyone have a source for some nice simple black mud flaps that look decent with a roll pan? I have these big honkin ones that looked ok with a stock bumper, but they sick out like a sore thumb now. Here in MT they are strict about mud flaps so I need to run something.- danzick

changing fuel filters with time?
I haven't changed the fuel filters on my fass since August of 15, but they only have 3,000 miles on them. Should I change them out just because of time? I only drive it about 2,000 miles a year, so things like this seem like they are way over due.- danzick

no crank issue
my sister has a 2008 lmm. Its pretty much stock other than a quadzilla tuner and the DPF is gone. She threw the truck in reverse and it died. Now it wont start back up. And when I say wont start, it wont even crank. I had the brother in law pull the codes with the crappy little tuner and he said...
