    Battery charging issue

    I check the connections regularly because of this. The batteries are about 5 years old, so it's probably time. Thanks.:thumb:

    Battery charging issue

    Thanks. I can actually see the headlights brighten up when it jumps from 11 to 15. That's what lead me to think it's a problem.

    Battery charging issue

    When I first crank my LMM in the morning, the gauge registers at only about 11 amps charging. It isn't until I get down the road a piece before the gauge will jump to just above 14. It's been doing this for years, but has never left me stranded. I replaced the alternator a while back, believing...

    Duramax Mechanic in Huntsville, Alabama Area?

    I can find powestroke and Cummins mechanics by the dozen. What is it exactly about the duramax that has them running for the hills? After learning this, the mechanic that has it now sees this as an opportunity, and is thinking seriously about getting his certification as a duramax mechanic.

    Duramax Mechanic in Huntsville, Alabama Area?

I've had it in two different shops trying to fix it, and both have given up. So far, I've replaced the FPRV, the Fuel Rail Temp Sensor, and it has a...

    P0087 plus fuel filter problem

    That explains that. He did say he wasn't sure if the LMM had it or not. I checked the lines all the way from the tank to the fire wall, and they all look good. All hard lines with the exception of two bends that are braided with plastic covers.

    P0087 plus fuel filter problem

    Thanks guys. I know they used the vacuum gauge, and drove it with the computer hooked up until they recreated the problem. I'm no mechanic, but after doing some research when this first started happening, I deduced it was the fprv, and passed that along to them when I took the truck in. I didn't...

    P0087 plus fuel filter problem

    A couple weeks back, I was pulling a 10K lb car hauler through the hills around Chattanooga TN when the truck dropped to limp mode. About a half hour before that, the computer started telling me to replace my fuel filter, which was still fairly new. I turned the truck off, then cranked it, and...
