The GMT-800 HD trucks seem to be geared more towards highway towing performance and comfort, instead of sacrificing it all for utility. They have strong frames and axles (even the IFS isn't all bad) but could definitely do with some stiffer T-bars and Leaf packs. Right now my 2500HD...

Sorry to threadjack, but I haven't seen your name pop up in forever, since you left or were banned from FSC! How've ya been?

Just stay away from Honeywell/Fram designed filters. They manufacture everything from some ACDelco filters to Honda filters. Honda had numerous companies producing oil filters for them, which I found was very odd but you just had to be careful when purchasing. Just take a close look at the case...

This is good info for the prospective buyer. Not that I could afford a DMAX right now, but I like to catalogue it away in my brain :)

That's a damn fine post! Couldn't have said it better myself :)

I should mention it is the same principle in removing carbon buildup. You put water in, water evaporates, creates steam. Couple that with some effect from flash cooling and you end up with a cleaner engine. Not that sticking a hose down the intake is exactly the same. That's idiotic...

It's the same as water/meth injection. I've done it to every single one of my vehicles or my families vehicles. Everything from a 1.6L Honda to the 6.0L in my 2500HD. They all quite enjoy it, if there is no difference, the engine was probably still clean :D

Now you just need a bigger turbo to make use of that big exhaust :D

My experience is mostly with the gassers hooked up to 4L60E's and 4L80E's. The TM must be more aggressive, to keep from breaking shit in the 1-2 shift. Even though our diesels have more TQ, I think it's RPM that does the gassers in...especially with people doing full throttle runs on stock...

Have you looked into your speed sensors? I know that a bad speed sensor can cause a variety of erratic issues and can make a transmission act like it's possessed. It might not be your issue, but check to see if they aren't damaged or are giving an incorrect reading.

I'm not familiar at all with the 6.5 PCM's and tuning, but I was wondering if they were hindered with Torque Management? I know that it saves a stock tranny from bad drivers and bad/non-existant maintenance, but a well tuned, well maintained stock 4L80E or a built trans could benefit from...

With all my gassers, I usually let the engine warm up to operating temp. then pull off a manifold vacuum hose and let the engine suck up water through there. That's not exactly possible with a diesel, but the water method is very effective. Which is why water/meth injection can have great...

Awesome! I was just gonna start hunting these down LOL Gotta wait til I sort out my finances after the tax return, but I will be making a small order soon :D

WHen i went with extended lines for my lifted K5, I decided on rubber, only because I hear that some of the braided line can snag hard on stuff off road and cause other things to break. So I went with rubber, because the off road terrain around here is filled with bushes, rocks, trees, marshes...

Is you rear brakes working correctly? Have you tried using braided stainless brake lines? The braiding is supposed to help with expansion due to excessive fluid pressure. Which is a bad spot on GM trucks for causing a mushy pedal.
