Just thought I would say hello. Have spent some time on Dmax forum but find this one much more helpful and in depth. Not really new to diesel but like to learn. Have owned a '15 LML tuned engine, trans by PPEI with Fass 150. Ran great, found plenty of metal in FPR at 36k miles. Traded for a '16 High Country LML. Drove for 30k miles stock. Sold outright for price paid new. Now I'm driving an 07.5 LMM 4x4 GMC CCSB greystone metallic 2500. One owner, bone stock, 193k miles when purchased in October '17 from my 70 year old neighbor for $18k. Ive since installed AFE intake, Dmax store PCV reroute, Fass DMax flow enhancer lift pump, Schaeffer 9000 5w-40, drained trans 2x replaced filter with genuine Allison and fluid with Transynd. Ive tinted all glass, painted b pillar black, put 285/75/17 Toyo CTs, front ranch hand replacement and rear bumper replacement. DPF all still intact but must be cracked as it will blow a light puff of black on initial acceleration. Occasionally getting PO401 code and trans sometimes hangs in 3-4 shift until you let up a bit. Location is about as central in Texas as you can get....

Thanks, Ive been watching all you went through to get back in a duramax. Been pretty entertaining. Hope you enjoy that lbz, they seem to be the best. On another note, I have an 05 LLY as my work truck.

I forgot I demolded it and relocated the duramax badge. Also used a black 2018 Chevy z71 emblem on bed sides for a smaller cleaner look.

Nice trucks man!



Everybody has different results but I find that these trucks have less downtime and nickel and dime problems than others especially as they get a lot of miles. Will post a couple more pics of the workhorses on the farm.
