LONG Cranking time to start
DING DING DING!! Just went and checked primer, soft as a 70 year old guy (don't ask how I know!). Pumped about 6 or more times to get hard, but then I saw it is leaking around where the wires are coming out of the top of the head. I had been smelling fuel when I drove it. Must have put a bad new... -

LONG Cranking time to start
Hi, 2006 LLY. 225k miles. Bone stock. I had new injectors and fuel head done about a month ago. Before all that, the truck would start after 1 revolution of the starter. Hot, cold, whatever. Now, after sitting a day or 2, it takes 5 seconds, literally, of starter cranking to start engine... -

LLY vs LBZ changes
I have a 2006 with the LLY that is currently getting new injectors put in :-( I was wondering about the differences between the LLY and LBZ. If there is a 'sticky' that lists these differences, I'd like to see it. If bumping my LLY up to LBZ specs is 'easy', that would be cool. Truck is used... -

Brakes Still Don't Feel Great
Thanks for the replies. Answers below: - DOT 4 fluid. - Don't know what a good/bad booster feels like. It seems to work (gives boost to pedal) just fine. - I assume TECH II does the ABS. Start up the diagnostics and push pedal about 6 times to cycle system. - When we did pads and rotors, it...- wzschirnt

Brakes Still Don't Feel Great
Hi, Time for a brake upgrade. Towing 9500lb with 2006 2500hd D-Max. I have trailer brakes but would like a little more confidence in truck brakes. It has after-market pads (Wagner Severe Duty) and rotors (new in the past 2 years), new master cylinder this year. Brakes still soft. They feel...- wzschirnt

Tow Mirror Wiring
Nope. No power mirror functions are there. I was going to get mirrors that had blinkers, etc and wanted to know if the harnesses had the connections just hanging there, so I didn't have to pull wires, etc. Sometimes manufacturers would use a single harness for different models and options to... -

Tow Mirror Wiring
Hi, I've looked at the threads here for this info, but haven't seen it, so... I've got a 2006 2500 LS Duramax. Plain old work truck w/rubber floor covering, manual locks/windows. It does the towing job just fine, but has the small towing mirrors on it. I want to change the small towing... -

A couple of issues in one thread
Hi, My 06 with about 175k had a steering shaft that rattled like the whole dash was coming out. The bearing assembly (white plastic thingy) at the bottom of the column (inside the cabin) was a little loose. Pushed it up into the column, put a hose clamp around it and tightened the 'snot' out of... -

Noisy LLY Duramax
Ok, so a new 'guess' by another 'expert' is a leaking injector. Going to have them do a diagnosis this week. So, questions: - Is there a way to narrow down which injector it is? He (the shop expert) made it seem that replacing all is the solution. Pretty expensive deal just to make it... -

Noisy LLY Duramax
I run Diesel Kleen each fill-up. So, the consensus is that this is not a 'normal' sound?? Guess I'll think about valve adjustment. Thanks. walt z. -

Noisy LLY Duramax
Balance check was done and all were "real close" (mechanics words). Between 1.5 and 2 if I remember the numbers right. "Icepick fix" has to do with loose connections at the injector. right? Is a loose connection something that would cause a LOUD 'ticking' while running down the road. Again... -

Noisy LLY Duramax
Hi, This may have beat to death, but I'm kind of new to diesels, so here goes: I've had my 2006 2500 Duramax for about a year and it tows the race car trailer wonderful. But it is a noisy son-of-a-gun! Sounds like there is a lifter about to bust out of there. No miss, etc, just noise. Is...
