Does this count as one of the higher operating costs of a diesel in the gas vs diesel discussion? :D
For all you diesel homo's getting new trucks, O'Reillys is selling the urea crap now for ~$5 a gallon.
who is using urea injection on light duty trucks?Quote:

too bad they don't have scratch and sniff screens, you of all people would be able to tell us if it was burnt or not!Quote:

Not too bad price wise but remembering to top it off would probably be a PITA.Quote:

I bet it would be interesting if you dumped gas or diesel in the urea tank and could shoot flames out the exhuast
Check out all the clutch dust/reminants in the center of the flywheel and clutch forks. There isn't much left of the ceramic/feramic disk once you see it in person...Quote:

I don't doubt that it will be one of the first things EFI Live works on for the new engines. It will be the same as the DPF or EGR, in just a few minutes you will be able to edit it out.Quote:

Alright so...might be going to look at some Duramaxes this weekend. 2004 and 2005 models, most of them right around 100k miles.
In addition to the stuff posted up by people to check out on the 03-07 Chevys in Cody's Box...what Duramax specific issues are there to look out for? Never owned or spent much time behind the wheel of a Duramax...
And I already read the old Duramax threads/posts on here.
Something that pisses me off about mine is some of the lights on the radio are burned out, but that is more of something that pisses me off. It sucked the first time I drove it in the dark.
2001-2004: LB7Quote:
What engine do I have? Check the 8th digit of your VIN number- LB7=1, LLY=2, LBZ=D
Injectors. Make sure the TSB has been taken care of.
2004.5-2005: LLY
FAQ for the LLY
Both of these come w/ the 5 speed Allison. Good transmission, but if you plan to put any really hot tuners on the engine it will need help. The 'fix' for this is not near as cheap as it is in the 6speeds. If you plan to run it stock and not Rowdy it out, it will be just fine with regular filter/oil changes.
The 04.5 LLY was the first one to come w/ the VVT (variable vane turbo) which helps in building the boost faster. I believe they also will have the grade/turbo brake in Tow/Haul mode. You can get an aftermarket one that will really bump up the effectiveness on this, and it makes a ton of difference and well worth it.
I'm a diesel fag now. Yay?

good deal?
5k off KBB value, so I'd say yes.
Costs me about $50 less a month than my old truck, and gets about 7 more mpg so far. Plus it has a back seat and 4x4, whereas my old truck didn't.
Nice
I dig it
What year model? We'll get you headed down the 'dieselfag' path right, quick and in a hurry w/ an EFI tune (or 5) :flipoff2:
2005. I really like the 2006+ towing mirrors from the trucks I test drove, so I think for my first mod I'm gonna buy a set and swap 'em out.
Ok, good. Now we have another LLY in the bunch (along w/ Brian's) that we can start getting tunes for. :D
I love my mirrors on the 07.
if you find a good deal on mirrors let me know
and ed i do need a tune
Mirrors are $300ish on eBay(cheaper if you don't get ones with the turn signal). Think I could get close on to that on eBay for my factory power extending ones.
I really like the 06 towing mirrors. I really like your wheels
I see around 17-18 mpg driving back and forth to work.
So on this Chevy transfer case pump rub situation...do the reman Chevy transfer cases suffer from the same issue? As the transfer case in my truck is clearly not the original. It's still shiny.
no the issue has probably been fixed. I think that mine is original and I haven't had any problems with ti
Other than the stickers being a little wrinkled from getting wet, my transfer case looks like somebody just pulled it off the shelf and installed it.
Gonna go by the dealer tomorrow and get them to do a VIN check so I can see when the case was installed and if it's had any other work done.
