  1. Frankenstein
    so I have a 2001 3500 dually with a descent milage lbz swap and new Allison transmission . It is mostly stock other then the 60hp tow tune. The problem is I can’t seem to get anyone to get the 2001 bcm to communicate with the other computers ( 2006) and it only drives in the 3 tune ( it’s a 5...
  2. 6.5L Diesel Engine
    Hey. New to the group and trying to find some answers. :unsure: No PS/brakes, reservoirs both full? PS pump is starting to make noise. All this started after my boyfriend checked the fluids and forgot to put ps lid back on and I left for work and back home. Next day I drove a mile down the road...
  3. Drivetrain - 2001 - 2010
    Just did both ujoints in my drive shaft 07 LBZ and I noticed that I could almost push the caps in by hand so my question is “ can this be repaired or does it need to be replaced?”
  4. 6.5L Diesel Engine
    So I've read on some posts that the cooling fan is supposed to kick on at around 210F, and be pretty noticeable. A few weeks back I towed a 7k lb 5fth wheel from Grandprarie to Calgary. According to the temperature gauge in the truck it went well above that, maybe 230F when I had to pull up...

    2006 LBZ with almost 200k - coming down some one lane tight twisty mountain roads I’ll usually drop my truck into M mode and put it into 2 or 1 depending on how steep it is. The other day while in 1 on a steep part, it decided to shift into 2. It did this repeatedly and I had to actually shift...

  8. Duramax Third Generation: 2006-2007.5 (LBZ & LLY)
    I have a bit of a weird one. Was driving home from FL to Canada, A/C on 24/7. My alternator died and stopped charging the batteries. Made it to an auto store and changed it in parking lot. For the next 8 hours, it seemed to work fine but then in stop n go traffic in Detroit, it starts to bounce...

  12. Duramax Second Generation: 2004.5-2005 (LLY)
    So I started hearing this funny noise sounded like a rod knock. Got out the stethoscope and poked around, couldn't find the cause of the noise. About to give up and saw this crack in the bell housing. Started taking bolts out and this piece just about fell out. Been cracked for a while...
  13. Duramax Fourth Generation: 2007.5-2010 (LMM)
    I am replacing my factory y-bridge and I'm having a problem with the last bolt. It is the back-top passenger side bolt. There is about a 1/4" clearance between the bolt head and the turbo compressor housing, and that is not going to be enough to slide the bolt out (I had to modify wrench just...
