    Duramax designed from a gasoline engine??

    A buddy was telling me why his Dodge Cummins was so much better than my Duramax. Most of what he said went in one ear and out the other because I wasn't even really listening. He did say that the Duramax is a gasoline engine that was converted to diesel by GM. Just to educate myself the...

    Coolant heater usage?

    At what temp do you use the coolant heater? It was (-14) in Denver last night so I plugged it in. I let it idle for about three minutes before driving to work. This is my first diesel and I was surprised at how slowly it warms up. My old gasser would be blowing warm air in less than a mile.

    "White rust" from aluminum wheels

    Here is a tip for those, like me, that live in winter climates. When I bought my used 2007 Duramax, the previous owner did a poor job rinsing the Mag Chloride from the aluminum rims. All four rims had a fair amount of the "white rust" spots and they looked like crap. I tried...

    Allison 6sp: GM AC Delco Dex VI?

    :confused: :confused: :confused: As a Duramax newbie, I just spent two hours on-line researching Allison recommended fluids. Is it bad just to drain/fill with GM AC Delco Dex VI? I don't plan any mods, I tow a 8,500 pound trailer, and I will never spin the tires. I just...

    My first mod: Century Royal Topper

    I just got my Century Royal Topper. I like the look and the convenience of the topper. I had a hard time picking between the Leer and the Century but I went with the Century.

    Info: DT Solid Tow Adjustable Hitch

    I searched the forum and I didn't see any posts on this hitch. Does anyone have experience with this hitch? I thought I would ask before I drop $250.00 on a new one. All of my old stuff fits 2" receivers so I need a new one for a 2.5" receiver.

    I have to quit saying "need to get gas"....

    New to DD. Last week I upgraded from my 2000 Chevrolet 1500 4wd 5.3 liter to a 2007 (new body) Chevrolet 2500HD 4wd Duramax/Allison. Pulling my camper and boat was going to wear out my old 1500 and I hated pulling the passes in Colorado at 40 mph. The new truck was a lease return and it looks...
