    "Squished" upper rad hose

    Not sure if I have a problem here or not ... popped the hood the other morning to check the fluids and all that fun stuff and noticed the upper radiator hose was no longer round - not completely closed up, but squished looking (yeah the technical term). I replaced the hose, and notcied a few...

    Air compressor pictures and more!

    What compressor is that you used? And how did you get the turbo to whine like that, I have heard that the Duramx turbo cannot be tweaked like the Cummings and Powerstroke ... love it!

    Aftermarket Injectors

    Oh, also let me add that I bought the truck used in Florida, and when the local dealership in Michigan ran the tests, they found that the injectors had already been replaced at like 50,000 miles (I'm at 150,000 now). I don't know what injectors were installed, but I'd like to think that since...

    Aftermarket Injectors

    The local dealership ran the required diagnostic tests to detemine if the injectors needed replacement, but found that the balance rates were good (within tolerance). Lately, I am experiencing the light blueish smoke at idle. My fuel economy has not gone down, and last time I did the oil there...

    rookie from MI

    Hey all, Just a quick post - new to this forum. My pride and joy is a 2004 Silverado 3500 dually with the LB7 and Allison trans. So far, she's all stock - but I'm working on changing that! I pull a 40ft Forest River Cardinal 5th wheel just about every weekend I can!

    Aftermarket Injectors

    I'm thinking about replacing my injectors. The dealership says my truck does not qualify for the recall after thier diagnostics and now I am over in mileage for the recall, so I was wondering, what are some of your recommendations for aftermarket injectors? Perhaps ones that would offer better...

    Grey/Blue smoke at idle?

    I've been aving the same issue with my 04. I took it to the dealership on the word of a friend of the family who swore up and down it was the injectors. The dealership ran the tests and found nothing wrong (go figure) - that was back in early summer. Had my brother-in-law take a look at it...

    Vibration

    Good morning all ... my 04 has developed a condition where, upon starting from a stop, vibrates up to about 10mph after which is smooths out (vibration comes back at 40mph then goes away again). I have checked the u-joints on the rear drive shaft and found the carrier bearing was bad. Had it...
