    LMM: Oily residue in exhaust

    Do you have a CAT? If not, the exhaust will be sootier and maybe some slight oily residue when it's cold. CAT is designed to clean up the particulate stuff.

    Inaccurate fuel gauge

    The fuel gauge is set that way on purpose by GM. They would rather have you make it to your next fuel stop than run out of fuel and have Bubba the tow guy come along with a can of something to pour in there and then fill the airbox with starting fluid 'cuz he doesn't know how to prime the...

    wiring expert chime in please

    Get a 12v battery and make up a set of clip leads to jumper to the fuse block. Should be a 12 V input connection on the block and hook the - to chassis ground somewhere. Make sure you have a 10AMP fuse in the + lead, in case there's a short somewhere, you don't want to fry your wiring. A test...

    LML def mixed with fuel treatment

    I'm confused. Are you referring to DEF as "fuel treatment" and are you saying he poured a gallon of DEF in the fuel tank? If so, don't start the truck, drain the fuel tank completely and blow all the fuel lines out before refilling with diesel fuel. DEF is basically urea & water, it could...

    LLY: 04.5 Fuel Mileage Worse Than Others?

    Looks like you live in minneSOta, do you have long warmup times? Tires/tire pressure can have a big influence on fuel economy. Are you buying your fuel from the same place as your LB7 and are they pumping 1D or 2D? #1D is less efficient than #2D. I get about 16 local and 19-20 hwy calced...

    LLY: Is it worth it

    Do you tow a 5th wheel or TT? If you're travels take you far from home pulling a trailer, the peace of mind of having a newer truck would be a strong consideration. A well maintained LLY can go 400K-500K once the head gaskets are properly replaced but there's always things like water pumps...

    help even the dealer is stumped

    Dealers don't always have the most experienced & knowledgeable diesel mechanics, but you are probably stuck with them since it's extended warranty work. I would agree with the others, probably fuel system related. I've seen diesels sound like they are knocking themselves apart due to a simple...

    Can you sell your DPF really???

    Tell me the truth about your tuner...

    Been running Rob's tunes for about 5 years now. I was visiting relatives in Boise and decided to have him tune my truck for me while I was there. Been a fun truck ever since. He did the tuning himself, even gave me a fun "loaner" truck to drive while he was doing it. His business has grown a...

    Stock Bosch LLY Injector Value

    Even though they are low miles, most people wouldn't install them without having them reconditioned and tested. Just sitting around loose can be bad for them. They are probably worth $100USD as cores.

    Cracks me up

    I guess they lost the recipe for non-cracking dashes. My 11 year old Sierra looks as good as the day it came out of the factory and I don't rally do much except wipe it off with a damp cloth couple of times a year....

    Thinking about contacting ATP for a tune, any input?

    Been running Rob's tunes for over 4 years, no complaints. There are other good tuners out there but I only have personal experience with Rob.
