  1. MAXX IT OUT

    Lost the motor?

    Agreed, I bet you floated a valve which took out the head and piston. When I lost my piston I just had a rough idle and was burning oil. Sadly valvetrain upgrade are over looked on most stock bottom ends.

    Seriously?

    Guessing someone looking at the wrong pid? Mine reads 14.2 PSI at idle as well, but thats atmospheric pressure not boost.

    Real cold air intake thoughts and discussion

    No, but I did re-loomed the harrness which probably gave me a couple of extra inchs for wire.

    Real cold air intake thoughts and discussion

    Doing some rough CAD before I build one out of aluminum. On the drive home, it definitely had cooler intake temp(down a easy 20 degrees) would start to go up when stopped, but went back down when driving vs only get hotter like it used to. Definitely worth the effort, but having to sort out...

    I think DHD has mild steel flange, but I everthing else I can find is Aluminum. I might just make mine own flange and save 35 bucks.

    Edge CTS 2 vs CTS 3

    Well I decided to return the CTS 3, after going back to the CTS 2 for a couple of days. Somehow the 3 was causing a issue with the stock radio, where it would be working with the key on and during startup it would shut it off and reset the clock. I figured there was no point having a device that...

    Edge CTS 2 vs CTS 3

    Whats people thoughts on the new Edge CTS 3? I am on the fence on weather to keep it or go back to my CTS 2. The advantages of the CTS 3 is that I can put 4 more PIDs on the screen and it starts way faster. The issues I have been having is that after starting it doesn't always refresh the PIDs...

    Engine oil

    Oil is what I recommend, at the end of the day, I have never heard of a Duramax that blew up since someone put the wrong brand 15w40 or 5w40 in it. It comes down to how you use your vehicle. You can put the best or worse oil, change it every 3-5 thousand miles in DD application and be fine. If...

    High engine temps

    What are peoples thoughs on running low opening thermostats for summer towing? Have lately been swapping between 2 sets of thermostats, winter ones run between 185-195 and the ones I run in the summer run at 170. That's just running down the road. Main reason I am doing it is to attempt to drop...

    Quality Drop shackles recommendation

    So does anyone know how much of a drop is 7.5 inch's between the holes? I believe the one I currently have is crown 2-3 inch drop shackle with 4 holes, so hopefully a 2 inch drop shackle will give me the same ride hight.

    Quality Drop shackles recommendation

    Well I went out to my truck this evening and thought it was sitting funny, so did some looking around. I found that one of my shackles snapped off. Not sure when it happened but from the break it looks like it's been cracking for a while. Can anyone point me to a decent manufacturer of these...

    Taming a 3794

    Going back to the original question without doing the compound routine, you could get your tuner to make one of your tunes be basically a Fixed vane tune, you would lose spool Time but wouldn't have the high pitch sound for whenever you wanted it. The other options would be to do the biggest...

    Taming a 3794

    Well if you want to tow better, lower egts and quiet the exhaust, compounds will do a lot. I used to have people say my truck was too loud even with a muffler, now the engine/fan is the loudest thing.
