    Attention Newbies

    Bit of an odd question. But me being new to the duramax and full size trucks... anyone in SoCal willing to give mine a look?

    hd tie rods vs sleeves?

    I better be with the price. But I haven't heard anything bad about them. And since it's getting close to replacing my stockers I think it's time for the upgrade. Anything else you would recommend to upgrade?

    hd tie rods vs sleeves?

    I'm not going to race... the lift might give that bit away. But I want my truck to be good to handle whatever my right foot and washington state might throw at it. So whatever I can get to make sure it will hold it I will. I want the Kryptonite Idler too. I'll throw in the sway bar end...

    I'm getting the Kryptonite Stage III kit. It should give me what I want. As for the OP I'm not sure....

    hd tie rods vs sleeves?

    I asked the same question. And still no one has been able to answer it either. Why are sleeves better vs HD tie rods? Money is money but what part is stronger/better/last longer.... What have you had the experience with and what have you seen fail.

    So they make their own fuel filters but donaldson makes their oil filters? I'm new and learning here.

    LLY: 2006 LLY Advice

    othrgrl: I can see what you are saying. And I asked because I saw on another thread that a lot of comments said to go with sleeves. Like I said before I am new, I haven't really messed around with trucks and suspensions before so if I am wrong please let me know. With the Kryptonite Stage...

    Awesome. Thanks again. Are there any issues that the 2006 LLY is known for and is there anything I am missing?

    LLY: 2006 LLY Advice

    Why not upgrade the tie rods since I am already replacing them? I know that they are probably overkill but if I decide to take this thing offroad a bit or end up towing heavy wouldn't it be smarter in the long run to spend the money now?

    LLY: 2006 LLY Advice

    Hernpj01, was the Kryptonite Stage 3 Front End worth it? My tie rods will need to be replaced once I get back from my deployment and I'm interested in it. And although I don't race and I'm not a heavy hauler like some of the guys I want a bulletproof truck that I can rely on.

    I'll keep it at the light tow/sport eco setting until I can afford to have the tranny built. Thank you. I will shoot him a call when I can.

    LLY: 2006 LLY Advice

    I plan on staying with the Stage 1 offered that adds 130 HP. If I were to bump up the power what would you recommend me do to build my trans. I've heard people saying it but I'm not sure exactly what that involves. And pricing?

    LLY: 2006 LLY Advice

    I do want the transgo jr. I am just waiting until I get the cooler and pan. Which will be my next round of upgrades and maintenance. And I don't plan on breaking the 550 HP mark. This is my daily driver and I am going to be doing a little bit of towing with it too. So I don't want to do too...

    New here and also wanting some input from guys who have been around these for a while. 2006 LLY that has 110K and no issues that I can find. I'm getting ready to order some parts that from what I have read are good to go. I just changed it over to amsoil, if anyone has any reasons why I...

    I got lucky at the dealership. I was searching for weeks and I had found an 05 that I liked but my buddy pushed me to keep looking. Thanks though.
