Gelled fuel
We have done the exact thing you described to every truck that has gelled on us that last 2 weeks and it worked every time. How long have you let the airdog run after removing the filter?- ikeG

Horse-torque Duramax vs. Cummins
If you gear the truck so that peak rpm down the track was at peak torque(3000 rpm in the example), you will more than likely lose enough rpm at the end of the run that the charger will snuff.- ikeG

Horse-torque Duramax vs. Cummins
Watch this video. More importantly, listen to the trucks. https://youtu.be/fqv_u1O9A1E Which of the trucks is using it's peak torque? My point was this: when limited to d.o.t. tires, and at this power level, you try to stay well above your peak torque level. Torque is a by-product of...- ikeG

Horse-torque Duramax vs. Cummins
The trickle down effect from 50+ years of diesel tractor sled pulling only helps the mechanical Cummins, not us. Look at lavon Miller's ucc dyno setup. Triple chargers and a sigma pump. Super stock diesel tractors made that much power with those parts 20(guesstimate) years ago..... Sent from...- ikeG

Horse-torque Duramax vs. Cummins
The thing with pulling is if you are not a 100% diy guy, you can have turn key, class leading power just by writing a check to companies like haisley & scheid. I'm talking best of the best, pump set already, dyno-tuned, just bolt in(which they'll do that for you too). All in-house. Just like...- ikeG

Horse-torque Duramax vs. Cummins
Top performing trucks never run rpms close to their peak torque numbers. In fact, especially in a d.o.t. tire class, torque is your enemy. Let me rephrase that, you try to stay away from your peak torque rpm. For instance, in any of the single charger classes, you want to to run down the...- ikeG

LB7: Duramax start then shuts off
Your symptoms are what I've had two lml's do to me this week that were gelled up. Fire up and shut off immediately. -

Losing boost
Ironically I just had to fix one at work. The ring that rotates the vanes gaulds or rusts to the cartridge on its inside diameter. Then the actuator is not strong enough to break it loose. So they're stuck in one position. When it's just starting to stick, it will be slow to react. So the...- ikeG

HELP!! Coolant in oil... NO oil in coolant
I just fixed an LB7 in a kodiak that consumed coolant like crazy. It was putting it into the crankcase and burning it, and would also hyrdolock occasionally. Ended up being a cylinder cracked. Had to sleeve it. -
Losing boost
I would suspect a Sinister kit to leak whether the gauge indicated it or not.- ikeG

Buying advice.
Every LLY head gasket job I've done had the coolant bottle black, sometimes to the point I replace them. Sent from my XT1585 using Tapatalk- ikeG

Take it for a long ride and then check the coolant bottle for pressure. If it wants to geyser all over the place, that's a sign of bad head gaskets. Also if the coolant bottle is blackish in color. Sent from my XT1585 using Tapatalk- ikeG

LML No power after changing fuel filter
You will need a good scan tool to view the injectors flow rates in the ecm. Then will have to verify that they are right by looking at the injectors you can see Sent from my XT1585 using Tapatalk
