    A Thread for Bulbs

    I have been very pleased with my LED low and high beams. I have been using them for almost 2 years now. Excellent quality as I have not had any issues with them at all.

    AirDog II Pump light

    Just after my new lift pump was installed it blew the fuse and I did not know it for a day or so. The pump is very quiet and so I came up with a remedy - wire in a small led light to the switched wiring. This way you will know when it has switched power or not. I did not want to run 2 small...

    Help !!! Won't start and no codes

    Finished up the right side today with just 3 more loose bolts. Bought extra bolts to re-attach the free floating brackets. Passenger side valve cover upper and lower bolts were much easier to get to than the driver's side. I would have loved and I did ask for a parts receipt just to know what...

    Help !!! Won't start and no codes

    I guess that I am another person with leaky valve covers after a head gasket job was done to the engine. Mine are leaking a quart a day. You would figure that the freakin' mechanic would have found that out after a test drive.

    CP4 to CP3 Conversion or Fass/Airdog

    Still on my cp4 at 473,988 miles and I just added an Airdog 165 about 3k miles ago. Hopefully, it will last long enough for me to build my bank account back up to where I can do the cp3 conversion. I have always run fuel additive in every tank since ownership.

    tire wear

    Jack up the front end and then wiggle each tire in/out and up/down to see where the worn items are located. With no load on the frontend you should be able to find the loose/worn out parts quite easily. They also left off wheel bearing assemblies on the list of parts. I just recently replaced my...

    Whats the heaviest

    Look at the tire load ratings on the sidewall and it will tell you the maximum weight per tire. If you still want that tire/wheel setup and it is more for show then just have the tire shop mount the tires onto the wheels and throw them in the bed and go home and mount them yourself.

    LLY: Help Truck just died

    Go on YouTube and watch Thoroughbred Diesel install an AirDog 2 on a Duramax. They do a step by step installation.

    Help !!! Won't start and no codes

    Mine definitely hangs down as the lowest part of my truck - except for the axles. Being tied into the ign fuse that are both needing juice at the moment of start could be my problem. I might just look for another switched fuse location to draw power from.

    Help !!! Won't start and no codes

    It looks like I will need to build a small skid plate to protect it from flying rocks, road debris and low break over clearance. They did the exact same install as the one on ThoroughBred Diesel did on YouTube. I see that it has already blown the small fuse that is plugged into the under hood...

    lift pump question

    I have an Air Dog II 165 mounted on the crossmember just in front of the fuel tank on my extended cab. That puts the lift pump between the front and rear seats. I can not hear it running (before the start of my engine or after starting the engine) at all and without crawling under the truck and...

    Help !!! Won't start and no codes

    Update The truck made it home from Georgia to North Dakota to Arizona and it ran fine, except for the oil leak from the upper pan. I think that I also have a small water leak in the turbo area. I will check it out this weekend while I am at home. Fuel mileage was between 12.8 to 19.1 on the DIC...

Had I know how much the mark up was I would have just made the trip to the factory and bought it there. $600 short of double the price..:( DOT is...

    High Milage questions.

    I didn't start having parts failure until 295k - power steering pump, 325k - transmission wiring harness, 375k - water pump, 467k - head gasket. I guess it all depends on how well it was taken care, maintenance schedules, only used on weekends for drag racing, etc...

    Help !!! Won't start and no codes

    The guy is 770JOHNNYW a member of this forum. It is my fault for trusting someone to do good work just because he said that he is good and could do it for a lower price and quick. And it was done in his garage where he also sprays paint on your vehicle while working on it, free of charge. I...

    2011 2500hd replaced cp4 and still won't start!!!

    Was that the online price or in-store price? I have looked online at GM parts and they do not show a part number for them. I usually buy my parts from them online because of the huge savings.
