    What time do you wake up on a work day?

    Shift starts at 6am, so I wake up at 5am. Although I work 2 on and 2 off so I get a chance to sleep in a few days a week.

    So maybe I should be cleaning mine before buying a new one. Hmm. Did it solve your surging? How long did this take you? Thanks.

    Who's done the DIY Inj. cleaning I've read about?

    Just an update: truck runs quieter, and seems to have better throttle response. Still have the small surge though. I'll do this again sometime....it can't hurt!

    '06 Duramax ext cab lb work truck, vs Chrysler 300

    Before I got my D-max, I would read these kill threads and think "whatever". Now that I know what kind of power they have I understand how a guy wants to race off the green. These big, heavy trucks really move!!

    What fuel is primarily used to heat your home.

    Nat gas for me. Although I accidently clicked on electricity... We have an awesome fireplace in our rec room we also use just to keep the basement cozy.

    I'm seeing a few used Predator's on Ebay Mike. Is it dumb of me to consider used?

    Who's done the DIY Inj. cleaning I've read about?

    Thanks Ed. Hey, if I were to buy a tuner like Bill mentioned, I would be better off right? This way I can just insert a new tune and forget about a dealer re-flash. Or am I off with my thinking?

    Who's done the DIY Inj. cleaning I've read about?

    Tried last night, but couldn't get the quick couplers off. Grrr. Picked some coupler removal tools up from my dad this morning. Got 1 off, but not the other. Grrrrr. Gotta buy some with a larger sleeve by the looks of things. Grrr!! I WILL win......I know I will. I'll update...

    Thanks for the link Pepp! Great pics of the FPR for sure! I'm glad you posted that! Any idea if Tim changed out the FPR or did the Trans fluid do the trick?

    If I bring it to the dealer for a re-flash, what kind of money we talking? Any idea? Is it a big procedure?

    Ya know, I don't really know for sure. The truck has no smoke or CEL, but it seems to surge at idle. I feel it "miss" like a gasser when sitting in the truck at idle also. The guy I bought the truck fro changed 1 inj. and said the balance rates were good. I'm new to these engines so I'm...
