    What did you think when you first heard about the Duramax?

    Not happening!!! The only thing I would expect a MAN diesel to get into the GM trucks would be the medium duty trucks. GM is definitely keeping the Duramax for the light duty trucks. I was in high school on an internship at a GMC dealership. Driven plenty of 6.5 until I hopped in the first...

    Not your normal shift defuel question

    When I first bought my red truck, it had a DSP5 tune in it, ran like crap and acted like it have very little to no defuel. Everytime I drive at a slow speed, it would actually bang from 1st to 2nd. I knew it was a tuning issue, not a transmission issue. What I did was changed it to a single tune...

    Lift springs

    My front is probably the same as your lift with leveled CV shafts, mine has a little angle to it in the front. However James is right, they added more arch to the spring to gain lift, it does ride stiff but it's a little better than stock with overloads. However, when it comes to towing heavy...

    Lift springs

    I have 6" deavers on my 6" RCD lift and used 3" lowering shackles in the rear. So far it's sitting perfectly level. I went that route in case if I upgraded my front suspension to the Cognito 7-9" which I will be doing in the future.

    My 2.5L Dmax Trailblazer

    That's pretty cool. Is that the trailblazer that's supposed to come to the US soon?

    Building a shop

    I do have to agree with that even though I may come across a heavy equipment such as an excavator. Im not in a super rush for building my shop, still got plenty of work to clear in my backyard. I've decided a 40x60 may be big enough for my stuff and to work in unless I see the inside of it...

    Used frame or rolling chassis

    I've found a rolling chassis in Florida for $1500. The guy was pretty firm on it.

    Used frame or rolling chassis

    I've been searching around for a used frame or rolling chassis. It seems like that the prices are retarded high for a used frame in the Northeast rusty frames. What's everyone usually paying for a good CCSB frame or rolling chassis? Just don't want to get screwed on paying something too much for...

    Building a shop

    I definitely agree with. 32x32 being too small considering it's not much bigger than my attached garage with 8 foot doors. I don't think I'll ever need a loft to make a man cave which is what my basement will be, or hell, I'll build a tree house to make it in a man cave with suspension bridge to...

    Building a shop

    I'm planning to build a shop and I'm somewhat stuck on how big to build it, steel or wood building. I have a 21x30 garage attached to my house and it's already full of my toys and tools, barely can get my wife's car in it, even my truck won't fit in it length wise due to shelves by the end of...

    Chevy1925 (James) Truck/motor build

    Funny you say that your set is a E range while my same tire size but in 18" are a D range with a 3525 load rating. No E range for those in 18 in the 37's. Nonetheless, they do the job pretty well towing 20k and rides smooth. Find me a set of Walker Evans and I'll sell my current wheel set lol.

    LBZ: Oil in Coolant

    The oil cooler usually leaks when the engine is hot which will open up the crack.

    So what are you spending your tax money on?

    Paid off 2 medical bills and some credits. Then buying a lawn tractor. Some little stuff for the house too. Wish I made enough to get a kubota backhoe loader tractor.

    LML 2

    Yep, forgot to mention that. Mark that area first before you take the old shackles off and cut the pinch weld flush to the bottom of the bed to clear the new shackles.

    LML 2

    Depends on how rusty it is if you're in the rust belt. All 3 I've done we're somewhat a 5 considering I had the air tools and a air hammer to force the upper bolt that tend to get seized in the leaf spring bushings. It's much easier to remove the bed bolts and raise it up about a foot. No need...

    2020 Silverado 3500hd Spy Photos

    Why would GM ditch Duramax for a MAN diesel when it's proven to be successful?

    Nitro gear

    I've been doing a lot of research on gears in the past, the only major complaint was the gear was noisy and can be difficult to set up the tooth contact pattern.
