    Crankshaft Question

    I currently have a motor with a Callie's crank and SoCal 3388 cam in it and have been very pleased with it. In the back of my mind though I know it's not a permanent fix to Duramax crank problems but it will definitely prolong the life of my motor.

    Question With Aftermarket Coolant Tanks

    I've heard of several people doing the paperclip. Never seen it in person but read a few people on the forums were doing that. Would this be a common issue that people come across?

    Question With Aftermarket Coolant Tanks

    Yes, it's currently plugged in with the extension harness as pictured here. I'll be home late tonight to check and take some photos. Hopefully it's just in the wrong orientation, that would be a big relief.

    Question With Aftermarket Coolant Tanks

    Hey y'all, I have a question and wanted to get some input from others about this. I currently have a WCFab coolant tank for the compound kit.

    LLY Tuning - Built Engine/Compounds

    Would it be possible to go back to the previous file you had to see if it's doing the same thing? To see if it's a tuning issue or something mechanical on your end. I had a similar issue on my truck (built motor, 475 over a Garrett stage 1, built trans, and 60 overs from Lincoln Diesel). My...

    P0218 low fluid?

    Did your problem ever get solved? I'm not much of an electrical guy or understand the terms but I had a similar code come up on my truck. I swapped the tcm and it fixed my issue. It was on '03 LB7.

    Another Broken Crank

    Is Xcalibur the company that keeps on advertising on eBay for rebuilt/built duramax motors all the time? I see them come up and get taken down for violating terms and agreements.

    What are people using for manifold bolts? Pro Fab

    Rick, Sorry for bringing up an old post but I had a question on torque spec. I'm putting together my motor together and have come across two different torque specs for the manifold. Some people are saying 28 ft lbs and others are saying 42. Which one would be correct? I did 42 ft lbs and plan...

    Gale Banks reacts to Hoonigan 1000hp build

    Does Banks actually support their product? I remember a few years back a friend of mine had their banks tuner in his duramax and was constantly having issues with wiring from their products. I’d come over to help every so often. Eventually I got him to take off that massive wiring they include...
