    Turbo Underboost

    Sounds like stuck vanes. Low mileage or not frequently driven duramax are prone to it. Sent from my SM-G960U1 using Tapatalk

    LML-0087&CHANGE FUEL FILTER MESSAGE

    Watch actual vs desired fuel rail pressure on a scantool while getting it to set p0087. If it's low you may be catching a failing cp4 before it grenades. Did you replace the entire fuel filter head? Sent from my SM-G960U1 using Tapatalk

    2011 LML engine issue

    Unplug both the egr cooler bypass valve and the egr valve. Hopefully they are still plugged in, cuz it sounds like your issue. And it's a nice easy fix! Sent from my SM-G960U using Tapatalk

    Oval Piston Roll Call!!

    One big benefit to Jon's pistons is the complete customization he offers. Weight matching, any size & depth valve relief, pin lightening, etc. In addition to the oval bowl benefit Sent from my SM-G960U using Tapatalk

    New build for the Mistress

    Comp manufactures cams for many other companies. Some companies will disguise it, and not disclose cam specs either. Years ago we had a single cam made by comp to our own specs. Took forever, but didn't have to pay markup. In fact, if you fronted enough money and made a minimum order, you could...

    Solar chargers for pulling truck

    Possibly. The point of running the 14v is that they are still above 12v when low on charge. Keeps ecm happy. Maybe run 3 12v, dedicate one to ecm and 2 others to the pump. Sent from my SM-G960U using Tapatalk

    Solar chargers for pulling truck

    We ran two xs power 14v batteries with no trouble. Only charged at home between events. Could easily do 2 hooks a night without recharging Sent from my SM-G960U using Tapatalk

    Oil pressure 10-11psi hot idle, fresh rebuild

    If you are just going to use it to troubleshoot, you could surely borrow or rent a mechanic's setup? Sent from my SM-G960U using Tapatalk

    Oil pressure 10-11psi hot idle, fresh rebuild

    I've ran an oil pressure sender in the front oil gallery plug, drivers side. Normally this one is free for the use because you get your compounds oil supply from the same plug, on the passenger side. Sent from my SM-G960U using Tapatalk

    High EGT's, lack of power, black smoke, poor mpg

    Typically you can just remove the vanes and unison ring and clean them up. But at 300k, it could also use a rebuild I'm sure Sent from my SM-G960U using Tapatalk

    This tells me it's the common stuck vane problem. Sent from my SM-G960U using Tapatalk

    Filled Block w/ Stock Heads?

    I'm not sure how they would hold up dry but personally I would try it. I'd probably have a spare set decked and ready to swap valves and springs onto too. Sent from my SM-G960U using Tapatalk

    Filled Block w/ Stock Heads?

    Lots of pullers ran filled block with stock heads. Knock the freeze plugs out of the back of your heads and circulate water thru them. Wont even need much of a radiator, maybe none at all. You could cut the thermostat housing legs off and tig AN fittings to them to plumb it all. You dont see it...

    LBZ: Stock Rebuild

    I need to add that you will not need to rebalance if you use your truck's vin to order the stock crankshaft from GM. I ordered a 2008 crank using a vin from an identical (2008) truck I had on hand. Machine shop called and said it needs x amount of grams blah blah. So I retrieved the vin from the...

    Broken Crankshaft Count?

    Worst one I've had. Source: https://youtu.be/LERYTV5rxoU Lmm. Both crank pins sheared, 8 valves total hit pistons. Appears to have had a recent head gasket job too. Sent from my SM-G960U using Tapatalk

    Longtime Duramax owner finally registered

    If your trans fluid level is too high, it will overheat. Went through that on my lly towing 14k. I would clean the entire cooling stack, check atf level, and install a hayden fan clutch. Then see how it does. Link to thread about Hayden clutches...

    LBZ: ATI damper seems to small? Honing needed?

    No, the rtv seals between the block and timing cover. It squeezes onto the stud when you tighten the cover down. Sent from my SM-G960U using Tapatalk
