    Did A New DRL Mod On The Truck Today

    You're gonna get heat scarring inside the housings. Those bulbs run HOT. Mine scarred with very little use.

    Just Got Zone 6" Lift Installed

    I think it does look good but it needs some more sidewall. I'm also not a fan of the Cali lean, I think that looks gay. It's down here too but not nearly as much. I dont understand why its cool to have their headlights pointing toward the moon.

    Diablo Predator - changed tire size...now dead in the water will not crank

    Glad to see you got it up and running. I'm also running a Diablo on my 5.7 and it did make a HUGE difference. I love the tune and all its functions.

    2009 Duramax Exhaust Temp Monitor

    Like any part, especially electronic, things fail. Do you have a check engine light?

    How often do you wear sunscreen when you work outside?

    I use a bronzer, whatever that means, but usually dont use anything, although I should given my geographic location.

    2004 Hemi 4x4 quad cab with only 17k miles find

    Nevermind a loose shifter, how did it run?

    2004 Hemi 4x4 quad cab with only 17k miles find

    You can probably throw on an oil and trans cooler and be done with it. I'd be more worried about the trans cooler. I would like to put one on my car as well. If you're not towing super heavy, every day and twice on sundays, I wouldn't really worry about it. I've seen some god awful contraptions...

    2004 Hemi 4x4 quad cab with only 17k miles find

    It would do that fine. The 5.7 is a stronger motor than most people think. It its clean, I would jump on it. Or maybe offer 15k cash and see if he bites. There are a ton of upgrades you could do to make that engine scream.

    2004 Hemi 4x4 quad cab with only 17k miles find

    I think the whole cooling system is upgraded, much like GM trucks. Oil cooler, trans cooler, higher wattage electric fans and a larger radiator. The 4.7 is no Hemi but it's a good motor that makes decent power. Did you plan on towing with this thing?

    Opinions on blacking out my grille...

    I like that too. It's the way I've been rolling around. I just used carbon fiber trim tape and it looks pretty good actually. I need to have it repainted though.

    Opinions on blacking out my grille...

    I've decided to leave it black. Also thanked the UPS guy for what he left me yesterday. I wanted something with an enclosed air box. I dont care much for open filter elements. I prefer AFE and S&B products but Volant is a good design. I like the sealed air box. It also comes as an...

    Opinions on blacking out my grille...

    I started to black out the grille today after a wash and wax. I used some trim tape that looks like carbon fiber and did a very entry level tape over the stock chrome piece. Then, I debadged it. Opinions on debadging because I'm 50/50. I like the badging, then again, I think it kinda looks...

    2,000 is right around the corner.

    Seems like just a few years ago when Keith and Nasty Girl broke 1000. I have a video from that one from that GTG in Holland Michigan.

    Which D Max/

    I was getting a consistent 22-23 mpg highway with my LBZ AFTER about 6k miles. That leveled off and at around 25k, I could barely squeeze 20, on a good day, with a tail wind. And once I lifted it, it was all over. With an 85 hp tune, my LLY felt so much peppier down low and would get out of...

    I just bought an LLY...

    I never had any overheating problems with my LLY either, and I also traded up for an LBZ with 0% interest with a lower payment. I made out rather WELL. I would ditch that grille there if you want your cooling system to function as designed. It doesn't look like it gets a whole lot of air...

    I just bought an LLY...

    Good thread. You have the Allison 1000. I would also recommend the Predator. It'll pump up your mileage and give it a nice, light on it's feet feel. I ran the 85 tune without any problems. It does defuel during shifts as a default tune. You wont really notice it all that much. The Predator...

    What is the fastest you have ever driven on the highway (mph)?

    Mine would hit 130 but back down to 129 and stay there. Otherwise, 150 was the fastest I've ever driven.
