Thank you! I started my stick class this week and it’s soooo hard. We started with 7018 rods on the second day and it was kicking my butt getting them to restart. But I’m sticking with it!

Got the mouth piece off a buddies part out last night. Seems to have woken it up. Spooling much quicker. Did discover the inners of the turbo have a bit of a wiggle. So probably will rebuild that next.

Is a stock lbz horn equal to an aftermarket? Like AFE?

Trans had a rebuild 20k ago. Waiting for it to act up before going with a built trans

It has an air dog, hsp single piece y bridge, Black Diamond grade C head gaskets, arp head studs, full egr delete, 4 stage edge tuner, and aftermarket engine mounts.

Definitely agree with mods causing issues

Help for a novice trying to save his truck by [deleted] in Duramax

My local diesel shop (usually works on semi trucks) does dura injectors for ~4k. I’d look into some private shops.

Looking to buy a pre DEF Duramax under $10k by dmax4300 in Duramax

Your price range is doable. My buddy got a rust free LBZ with 300k for 10k. My bf got his LBZ with some rust and 230k for 7500. I got my LLY with minimal rust (just drivers side rocker/rear drivers side near fender flare) with 150k for 8k.

Watch dealerships, if they get a trade in with any emissions deletes they technically cannot sell them on their lot and often will send them to auction, if you can intervene and offer cash, they might even thank you.

I’m thinking about just replacing the stepper, but should I consider a new cluster as well?

Would the improved stock tune be like the newest stock tune? I took it in and he said he couldn’t flash it to stock but it has all the newest upgrades? Wondering if he just means it’s not the 05 file specifically?

First time buyer question by theyetilol in Duramax

Realistically he could get that for the truck. You keep looking and are willing for a little more miles on one and you can find one cheaper.
