I hope all of you are doing well. I need shocks for my 05. Been reading and the Reflex sounds like it may be the shock for me. The problem is it says they are a light duty shock...but others are using them on their HD trucks. Looking for advise. Thanks.

Thanks ferm. I'm just wondering what these codes have to do with my problem. My exhaust still has the cat, but no muffler. Do my symptoms resemble a plugged EGR I'm wondering? Man, I wish I was smarter with all of this stuff! I've been spending waaay too much time reading and watching uTube...

Hey Mike. Yes I've looked into those areas a few years back. I don't think this is what it is though. Although I could be wrong...wouldn't be the first time :) I hooked up my predator tuner while it was running like crap and all 8 balance rates looked good from what I understand.

Happened again today. Started and ran fine going to the grocery store, while waiting for my wife the truck ran normal for the 10 min I waited. Driving away it starts to buck and smoke white and wouldn't exellerate. I pulled over and checked codes with my Preditor and came up with po101...and...

Sorry to bother you again Ferm. I really do appreciate the help. I read through your thread about the balance rates. A good read and I realize I have lots to learn haha. Anyways, can you look at these pics and tell me if you see anything wonky? I'm not sure what to look at to find the fuel...

Thanks for the help. Yeah, the truck has had that tick for the entire time I've owned it. From what I've heard it's normal for the lly...who knows. I'm not sure what you mean with the fuel rate when I'm taking a reading though. I'll do some research on this. Thanks again for the help.

Did the Injector cleaning yesterday. Seems to have made a difference. I'll do it again in a week or two.

Thanks for the reply's guys. Yeah, I'll do the inj cleaner this week and start there.

Hey, I hope all of you are doing well. My 05 will run good for weeks at a time. Sometimes when I'm cruising down the road could be 5 miles or 50 miles....I come to a stop sign and when I step on the pedal the truck has no power, lots of white smoke...smells like diesel. I stomp on the...

Yeah Will, Not sure where it's coming from. At this point it's not a big deal. I just found it strange a new pump would leak as fast as it did. I'll keep on rolling until it becomes bad again.

Update: Seeing it's almost 1 year since the water pump install....I'd like to let you all know everything is fine. NO headgasket issues like I thought there might be. Although my new pump has a leak every now and then, but not too serious.

Hired an ex mechanic friend and replaced water pump and t-stats today. I finally have cabin heat haha. It's going to be nice not having a puddle under my truck.

I did that last year Leo. I pressurized the system and lay under the truck and saw the leak coming from the pump. I wish it was that easy as a loose clamp haha. The truck is working excellent and I'm worried if I fix the pump...because if the headgaskets blow out after that, I'm gonna have a...

What are the chances a leaky headgasket would be pushing my antifreeze through the waterpump like taking the path of least resistance? Or would the pressure go into my overflow instead? Sorry if I don't make sense as I need some education here LOL.

My LLY has leaked antifreeze on and off for 4 years now. I'm thinking of replacing the water pump and T-stats. I'm really shit scared that down the road I'll have signs of head gasket failure. I've read threads with others having this happen. I have 205K miles, stock with no tuner on the truck...
