I read a few threads and found that around the year of my truck the installed the EGR systems on the dmax's. I would love to see if i could install a plate or if it is not possible but, I do not know what to look for..
Plus if there is no system on my truck and the plate lowers egt's what are alternatives to lower my exhaust temps?

Possible ways are a water/meth system, a cold air intake, or a larger turbo. You have the exhaust already so you are already getting the reduction from it. So off the top on my head this is all I can think of.

I thought 04.5s were LLYs?

My truck lists as a 4.5. Don't know why, it may be body style or some other reason. But the manufacture date is 08-03 and the vin# says its a lb7.
Weard..
I guess that the factory started the lly the day after my truck left.

You should change your sig to 04 Duramax as everyone looks at 04.5 and thinks LLY

My ppe standard says it is a lb7.
Plus the vin# thing confuses me. Every one says diget which represents a number. This to me means skipping the letters. Oddly enough one way is a 1, the other is a 2. When people say diget are they meaning alphanumeric? I am seriously laughing at my self while posting this thread. I know it is a very stupid question but I just want to know for sure...

well if your build date is 08/03 you have a LB7, I had one with the same date on the door. Where does it list as a 04.5? If you look at the passenger side of the engine you will or will not see a shiny colored canister which is the egr
