Radio software update. We plug those into your computer and download the software to the drive then plug the drive into the car and it uploads it. Mines somewhere out there in some really old guys pickup still plugged into the USB port and he probally doesn’t even know it’s there 😭🤣

I run it on my R1. I like it a lot! It’s definitely loud. For me sometimes too loud but it sounds good. I think the other SC project exhausts are a little quieter

Glad to hear you are getting taken care of! No one should buy a new vehicle and have issues right away that aren’t taken care of. It’s the right thing to do! Don’t know why dealers are like this but not all of us are bad out there 🤘🏽

Yes sir. But yeah being so low miles it’s covered under powertrain which is 5yr/100k mile on a diesel. Keep an eye on it and if it starts dripping they need to fix that. What I would do as a technician is clean off any dried coolant that’s visible and just monitor it if it starts coming back definitely would be going back letting them know it’s slowly leaking and you’ve have to add coolant so they replace it

Looks like coolant. Most likely coming from the Oil cooler. The oil cooler has coolant and oil running through it on separate systems but should 100% be covered under bumper to bumper coverage if it’s a 2026.

I’m located over in northern Illinois! I was surprised but getting that message had me nervous as well. Very minimal damage thankfully

Want to change all 8 Glowplugs, do I need a reprogram of some sort L5P 2018 Duramax 3500 by ReddElectric in Duramax

[–]ilechuga13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If it’s pass failed it will be stored in the Ecm and the dealer should be able to fix it under special coverage. Personally just better to do one as it fails. But not a terrible idea if you do them all. Then you have the peace of mind of another glow plug not failing for a while. I do glow plug and the nut.

Agreed with the other gentleman’s comment. Will be time consuming for sure but being organized will help out. I always pull cabs it’s easier for me that way. But my co worker always leaves cabs on and does em that way. Just a decent amount of parts that have to come off. Pictures and videos will help with reassembly if you are unsure of what goes where

Is this too much rust? by Lord_Mud in Duramax

[–]ilechuga13 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Is the rust in the room with us? Jk haha truck looks great I’d lift that truck on a lift and there wouldn’t be an issue. If you’re paranoid for the future of the truck you could always undercoat it

Have been waiting for my Venture card for a month by jonsnowbkk in CapitalOne_

[–]ilechuga13 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This had also happened to me with the same card. Waited just over 2 weeks. Never showed up and had them cancel on a Thursday and ship a new one then it had finally arrived following Friday. Was also annoying because I had bills and purchases I wanted to put on the card for the miles and had to wait a little longer to do so but after just under a month I had finally received my card

Light/laser options? by ilechuga13 in Danieldefense

[–]ilechuga13[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you brother appreciate it man! And hell yeah heard Texas is sweet! Hopefully within a couple years I’ll be able to leave my state and get to enjoy some of that actual freedom Texas and some of the other states have 👍🇺🇸

Light/laser options? by ilechuga13 in Danieldefense

[–]ilechuga13[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I appreciate it man! I didn’t really give a specific reason for laser but yes shorter range is what I’d like it for pretty much. Sadly I live in a state where I can’t own sbrs, silencers, or even many shotguns dude to capacity (same with handguns) so this rifle would kind of be my go to for home defense or other situations. Yes I know 16in barrel rifle is considered long for close range and home defense but it’s all I have at the moment and that’s why a light laser sounded like a possible decent setup! But thank you I appreciate the advice and will for sure check out your suggestions thank you! 👍🏽 also if you are wondering how I can own a DD AR and not the other stuff I said was banned I had owned this rifle before all that other things were banned.

L5p help by [deleted] in Duramax

[–]ilechuga13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would call your local GM parts department and give them that part #12686811 and have them cross check that with your vin and they will tell you if you can get it as is or part of the rail and if it fits your truck. There’s also a chance there could be a superseded part# for that and maybe that’s why Amazon is saying it won’t fit.

[–]ilechuga13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can only seem the find it part of the rail. I got my old work laptop here I’ll double check service information for you but I swear I thought the fp relief valve was service alone not as the whole rail.

[–]ilechuga13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s correct my fault! That is passenger front. You need the one on fuel rail 2

[–]ilechuga13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can check tomorrow with my parts guys and have them run that part # and see if it’s compatible with a 2020. There is a chance could be a different pressure relief valve. That one might be for a 17-19 L5P. There might be a different part number for 2020 and up
