    ok got it fixed, replaced starter and new bolts. Good thing for lifetime warranties. Had replaced it last summer too. Autozone. The new starter has a lot bigger body(diameter) than the old one. Starts like a champ now.

    safe sustained egt. temp.

    Oh and if you see black smoke from the exhaust while you are towing, you either need more boost(safe limit is 10-12), or new injectors. Diesels have nothing in common with gas engines, so forget the whole lean/rich theories. Diesels are throttle limited, gassers are air limited.

    safe sustained egt. temp.

    I have 3.42 gears in my CC Dually and I can't pull my 38' TT in OD. I pull in 4th (i have the manual not the auto) and it does great. To me it does even better than the 4.10's that came with the truck. But you have to realize than in OD with 3.42's you just don't have enough torque to try to...

    The KOJO Tune - Available now!

    I agree with KOJO.....I've seen this on my laptop with GMTD Tech.....if engine is higher than desired idle and no throttle is requested(i.e. foot off the gas pedal) then there is no fuel injected......0.....nada.....
