I just installed new wheels and tires so the stockers are up for sale. They are off my 2015 2500. Factory 20" 5 spoke with Goodyear SA 265/60/20s w 8x180 pattern. The wheels and tires are in perfect condition with only 4,500m. These are great looking wheels and I honestly had second...

Hey guys, I have a few questions because this is my first duramax. I've had several fords and dodges but still figuring out the duramax. So I bought my truck last month. After about two weeks I brought it back to the dealer to have steps installed. On the way down the display notified me that...

Just got a SEL yesterday. Had on star check it out and they said it was #1 out of range. Just brought it in and the dealer is going to replace it. Really? Is this common? Also, it's used about 10g of def in 3k miles since new. I thought the def was good for the length of an oil change. I...

I just replaced my bell crank assembly because the truck had a flat spot in the pedal where it would act like the fuel shut off. It was also jumpy with throttle input. Before I replaced it, the truck would idle around 800 in park. Now it idles at 1000-1100 in park. It drops to 800 in gear...

I noticed that the truck was losing water again, so I checked the rad. Sure enough, the epoxy is cracked where the tanks meet the core;( Looks like I'm gonna call Summit for the third replacement. I'm going ask for a refund, then try to get the mitshimoto, but I doubt I'll get the refund.

Does anybody know if a high torque starter is available for the 5.9? This is going in an 06 conversion for an f350, so it will be mounted on the passenger side. I was told that vp and common rail starters will put the battery terminal on the motor side. I heard that the ppump has the...

I just adjusted my valves this weekend, and wanted to ask about factory tolerances. I didn't check the intake before, but set them to .010 per the manual. I read that they are good from .006-.015. I did check the exhaust, and they were .026-.027. I set them to .020 per the manual. I believe...

Here's the setup. I'm looking for around 700 to the wheels. It will be a Cali street truck, and I need to tow about 16k with it. I want it to spool quick and pull decent on top. I just went through the bottom and freshened up the head with orings and 625s. Hamilton street cam, Fleece...

I was loading the truck today while getting ready for my trip when I noticed that the radiator was leaking. I popped the hood and saw the epoxy that attaches the core to the tank was cracked on the drivers side. I was really surprised that it was epoxied instead of welded. The radiator is only...

Ok, I just installed the new cooler last night. It was not an exact drop in. It's thicker than the stock cooler, so I had to mount it as close to the intercooler as possible, then I had to trim the inside of the girl to clear it when closed. Overall it will work way better, but it was a...

About 5 years ago, we installed an EGR rear disc conversion in place of the stock drums. The kit uses 70s caddy style calipers w e brake. It's been decent, but never stopped great. The pedal felt spongey most of the time, and you had to use about 3/4 pedal before it started to get firm. I...

Wow! That's about double the size of my cooler. Here's a picture of mine. I'll need to call dodge in the morning about getting a stock cooler. Any idea if there is a heavy duty replacement available?

Does anybody have pictures on the stock trans cooler? I'm looking for pictures of the stock location. Thanks Sean
