Anyone know why these new duramax trucks warm up much faster and hotter? My lml is to 210 degrees in 5 minutes of idling and about 5 miles of driving..
You should be fine. Might sound a little rough at first tho. I was always paranoid of my truck sounding like shit after a cold night (because i knew the sound was no good) so i would start it every 4-5 hours.
I'd probably do the brace, and def the pump rub fix. I think the C3 oiling mod may take some line pressure away someone once told me. Dont quote me on that tho..
