Allison 5sp: Shifted into reverse on accident
You're definitely right. When I saw the poor kid jump out, all I could think at the time was stop. After review, I can see that he stopped enough as well. I wished I would have kept rolling along and had a worry free day.- citadel

Allison 5sp: Shifted into reverse on accident
Video of adult temper tantrum. (NSFW Language) Thank goodness for the automatic stupid protection. And thanks for the quick responses. So here's the video. Warning on language. Guy popped out and I lost my temper a little bit. I have mixed feelings on my reaction but am working on this...- citadel

Allison 5sp: Shifted into reverse on accident
Hello all. Long story short: I screwed up. Someone almost hit me the other day and I threw the truck into first gear while standing on the brakes. After a brief chat, I threw an adult temper tantrum and stomped on the go pedal. This is when I realized I was in first. So in a stupid panic...- citadel

Upper Valve cover bolt size
Does anyone happen to know the bolt size for the upper valve cover bolts? Trying to get injectors replaced and realized the guys that did my head gaskets forgot to install one. -
LLY: Quick shock injector cleaner
Lots of neat info here. Just want to add that walnut blasting is still a thing on some European cars. Not sure about use to clean injectors though. The fuel injection system is direct to the cylinder (post intake valve). Oily air from the PCV enters the intake system and builds up on the...- citadel

LLY Injector Question
It has a Goerend type r in it right now. I've had a couple drag runs so far and had a blast. Wouldn't mind trying to pull for fun once too. -
LLY Injector Question
Trans has been rebuilt, should handle up to 800hp. Not really set on a HP number, just want to get the biggest injectors I can reliably put in the motor. Best time in the 1/8 mile is 8.8. Would love to get in to 7s if possible. -
LLY Injector Question
So my truck is leaking again, from the injector return line on the passenger side closest to the firewall, again. I've already taken it back about a week ago for the same thing after head gasket repairs. At this point, I'm going to just fix it myself. But, I've convinced the wife I have to... -
Head gasket repair done. Am I wrong to be unhappy?
Got the truck back yesterday, everything seemed good. Took it out for a drive this morning, and she won't go into reverse. Did a quick forum search and it looks like the trans needs around 12 volts. I'm running 12 at the highest, mostly lower. Checked and found one loose battery connection... -
Head gasket repair done. Am I wrong to be unhappy?
Truck is back at the shop. They're saying it's a busted clip on the new return line. I pointed out everything and they're going to fix it on their dime, including a coolant flush with dexcool. I'll pick it up tomorrow and will update after. -
Head gasket repair done. Am I wrong to be unhappy?
Well, gonna take her back to the shop today. Only drove it once since I picked it up on Friday. This morning, drove it out to the park and she starts smoking from the engine compartment. Parked it and found the injector return line closest to the firewall on the passenger side is leaking... -
Head gasket repair done. Am I wrong to be unhappy?
Thanks for all the responses. I'm definitely gonna go through it and at least document everything I can find. I'll probably just drain and flush the coolant myself, that way I know it's done properly. Most of the delay was due to the machine shop, some of the last minute delays were due to... -
Head gasket repair done. Am I wrong to be unhappy?
So I finally got my truck back from the shop for a head gasket repair. It was totally needed. It cost me about $4500.00. I provided the gaskets and studs (100 per hour at 30 hours plus machine work and misc parts). Truck runs fine, no obvious leaks noticed. It's the small things that I'm... -
New sound on the truck
EGR has been removed with LB7 up pipes installed. I really hope you're right. Should be able to fix it with the head gasket replacement. -
New sound on the truck
Hello all. Came back from a four hour trip recently with no issues other than losing coolant. This is normal, dropping the truck off later to get the head gaskets done. Anyhow, the next day I fire her up and I've got this new noise. It will happen while in any gear (including park). I dont... -

Hello all, I currently live in Clarksville, TN and am looking for a reputable repair shop. Normally I do all repairs on my truck but I just dont have the time anymore.

GMC 2500hd duramax fuel issue
Had the same issue with my truck after towing in Tuscon. I had air getting into my fuel system at the filter head. There are rebuild and replacement kits. I think I paid about $140 for a new filter head. Best way to check is to press the prime 'button' on the filter head after the truck is off... -
Just got back from first time on the track
As the title says, just got back. Before you get super interested, keep in mind, this truck is mostly stock. All mods in the signature. Anyhow, bunch of co-workers have been going to the local test n tune so I brought the family down to check it out. Didn't do too bad, best time was an 8.8 in...- citadel
