    LML Hypothetically speaking.....

    Say the honeycomb was removed from the scr/dpf canister on an LML Duramax. No tuning or other changes. DOC would stay in place to burn any additional fuel. Hoses, sensors etc all hooked up. My thinking is that there would never be enough back pressure to trigger a regen, and the truck would...

    IBC need more braking force

    You nailed it - I replaced the pressure switch on the MC and now the IBC works like it is supposed to.

    Motorcycle Hauler on Front of 2009 Duramax

    X 2. Mine runs hot enough as is towing without obstructing airflow to the radiator. With a CC, I gotta wonder about pushing the limits of the front end GAWR as well. I didn't think the 2009 CCs could push a plow because of the front end's rating.

    How not to build twins......

    Watch yourselves guys. Couple of tanks of Monsterdiesel and he'll be in the 11s.

    Try this test

    Watched #9 yesterday, but not my favorite. Watched it again today, just to make sure. Top 10 at best.

    IBC need more braking force

    FFden, piston went south because of porosity in the casting/ forging. Piston jet may have contributed but was not primary cause - can't prove for certain if the jet was working or not. Let's just say this - when I build a bottom end, it will have a HVHP oil pump, not this 30psi @ 3000 rpm...

    IBC need more braking force

    GM says this is non adjustable except with the gain adjustment. Panic braking (standing on the pedal with my 275 lbs) only produces maybe 30% on the IBC bar graph. Does anyone know how this system is modulated? Mechanically, electrically, or hydraulically? EG - how does it know how much...

    How many dB SPL?

    Okay I should have been more specific. NBS Crew Cab. Looking at under rear seat options with available airspace. Need to keep the cab/ bed functional. No cutting or boxing into the bed, all seats intact. What can I fit under seats/ behind seats that will hit? 15's, 18's are wayyyyy...

    spraying the outside of the intercooler

    Agreed WM has the best benefits - my "misting system" wouldn't reduce EGT to nearly the extent of a WM system. I would love to try it in addition, though. Let's face it, the cooling system on these trucks is marginal in stock form. Start adding power and it is criminally easy to overwhelm the...

    spraying the outside of the intercooler

    What about an external sprayer of distilled water? Like a misting system that you see around patio seating in restaurants in the SW? Get some heat out of the CAC, trans cooler, rad, etc. As soon as EGT gets over 1200* you could start the spray. Not sure what would work best - spraying in...

    How many dB SPL?

    How many dB are your subs pushing, and what is your setup? Reason I ask is I am looking to build a subwoofer setup to augment the stock system, and I am trying to determine what setup will deliver the results I am looking for. Loud and low is my priority, clean is secondary but still fairly...

    LMM: Oil ?

    what if you tow heavy in the desert heat? MPI mentioned to me that the when the oil gets hot the pressure drops big time and suggested something more robust. Straight 40? or is there a better multi vis alternative?

    New Garrett® model GT4094VA turbocharger Free down pipe

    Towing about 15K trailer. I would pony up for twins but the simplicity of this unit plus the cost/ benefit ratio makes it very attractive. I can afford to either twin with the stocker OR do this unit, but not both. Add the "bolt on" factor, and if it could sustain 450 rwhp under 1250*, then...

    New Garrett® model GT4094VA turbocharger Free down pipe

    This looks sweet for drag racing and pulling, but what about towing? I"m looking for a way to keep EGT under control/ keep stock pistons alive while adding some much needed power for towing through the big interstate hills out west and around the rockies. Think Baker Grade - I've struggled to...

    17" dually tires

    The 17s are pretty limited as far as tire selection, and without spacers we are pretty limited on width as well. If you want to add a little meat, the 235/80/17 is about 1 to 1.5 inches taller (depending on brand) and still narrow enough that the rears wont touch even under heavy load...

    Hangover cure

    B vitamins are great - take some the night before and some the next morning - helps a bunch. Aspirin helps too - blood thickens as the alcohol exits the system raising blood pressure causing major head pain. Apple juice to help get the blood sugars up. Stay away from caffeine - it makes you...
