You don't know too many Mexicans huh? I'll try and count the King Ranches on my jobsite tomorrow.


There is a nice truck in there somewhere. You know what's rice and what's not.....hopefully.

2wd, tonneau cover and loaded with gay blingy bits. You bring fail to this thread.

That stuff is just there to distract everyone from the awesome that is the 06-07 dirtymaxes. ;)

I'm sorry my greatest single purchase I've ever made couldn't hold up to TAMOR web-wheeling standards. I'll enjoy driving it everyday, but keep hate'in.
*Ed, Thanks for your advice on the buy and your non-partisan opinion, I appreciate it*

I wouldn't hate on the 2wd. I would hate on that its trying really hard to look like its 4wd.

O come'on. You post a pic of semi-riced out diesel, then you post details revealing its even more riced out then the pic revealed and didn't expect to get razzed a little?:)

Well then I guess I like them riced out. There are certainly some things added to this truck that I would not have paid for piecemeal but excluding the fuel filler and handles (which I have already acknowledged will be changed out) I dig everything else on the truck. And ultimately isn't that the point of what the remainder of us that still pick up a wrench do as a hobby is modify our vehicles to our liking? So if you think it's a ricer, then, okay; but I'll keep smiling all the way down the road with the jeep in tow.

you got all of the options except the good mirrors

Gas strut tailgate ...Really?

Oh factory headlights are pretty damn bright on these trucks they definetely piss people off.


Oh and this mexican already has his truck payed for..:flipoff2:

Duramax/Allison 6spd with 102K miles Didn't know much about them until researching and talking to Ed (Thanks!). Absolutely in love with this combo
2wd
LT2 model which means it has just about every option except a moon roof. Great Interior. Very very little wear and I don't find the interior styling nearly as bothering as some reviews on-line made it seem

Factory options.

Pwr windows/locks/seats/mirrors
Keyless entry
Leather interior
Heated seats/mirrors
Tow package
LBZ/6spd Allison tranny
Front captain seats with rear bench and non-folding console up front.
Bose premium sound system with in dash cd changer, and separate rear radio.
Color is a metallic grey/almost a pewter.
Separate digital climate control for front driver and passenger.
Overhead console with map lights


Aftermarket options and maintenance.

Front levelling kit with Cognito upper control arms(around 3-3.5" lift)
Bilstein shocks all around
20" incubus rims A LITTLE bling for my liking but they are growing on me and replace the factory wheels that I have read so many bad reviews on-line about
275/65 Goodyear Wrangler AT/S Immediately noticed they are a little loud
billet door handles My only hesitation with buying this truck. Going back to stock would be nice but available cash is short at this point after the initial investment
billet antenna
billet grill
aluminum gas cap door
bedlocker electronic toneau cover with switch mounted under dash Absolutely bad a$$ and in love with it. Great to be able to leave some stuff in the bed with no worries about it walking away
gas strut assisted tailgate
built storage box for behind rear seat
Built in blue tooth with microphone next to the visor in the ceiling.
Banks monster exhaust
Banks air intake
Drop in Bedliner
HID lights(pretty sure they are HID, definitely not factory)
10% tint on all windows except windshield


For maintenance, previous owner has changed the engine oil, rear diff both to mobile synthetic. The transmission cooler lines were replaced with new lines, and the fluid was switched to transynd synthetic as well; plus regularly changed out all filters including the fuel filter. All of this was done at 100k miles. I also had all 4 ball joints replaced at 101k miles, brakes checked out good, and lubed all of the joints in the suspension with synthetic grease.









In short I am very happy with the buy. Almost all of the 'mods' I would have wanted to do anyway down the line so it saves me cash and time. Some of the 'mods' I would like to reverse but that will all occur with time. This truck will last me a long time and will be able to pull the jeep and get me to work just fine.

Better check the gear ratio on it!

3.73, the new all purpose ratio at Chevy. :( (for being the only option with the dmax/ally, it works well with most all loads. It can be a little tall when you are hauling a BIG one, but it's not too bad.)


:D

So you bought a diesel to tow a jeep that you can and have pulled with a tacoma. Hmmm

Just because you can tow a jeep with a Tacoma doesn't mean it's not a lot ****ing nicer towing it with a Dmax.

**** it i think everybody should drive a diesel, they are the more efficient and superior engine (thanks JB) . :flipoff2:

[Goldmember]I love ccchhrrrrrrrrrooooommmeeeeee!!![/Goldmember]

Nice truck Ryan. I wouldn't let $20 handles stop me from a good deal. Every parts store will have those handles in black in the help! Aisle for like $20 each.

you can get a duramax with 4.10's, that is what mine has

I was talking 06/07, sorry, should have specified better. :)

Blanken****, you need a set of 100 spoke knockoffs.

Ski boat and riced out diesel. Add a flat billed hat and you've got yourself a douchebag starter set.

Did a little got 17.8 mpg in my last tank after airing my tires up to the proper psi. I'm stoked.

I need to change my fuel filter soon on my 06 duramax. What filters are good? Do I have to order something from Amsoil or a performance company or does Napa house brand suffice? Thanks.

Look at the factory rating and compare to the after market ones, I think I run a 5 micron filter and have yet to have any problem. On my powerstroke I just bought whatever was cheapest and never had a problem though.

I perfer Wix filters but I think Napa house brand is a wix filter

this is true

Napa has a "high efficiency'. Whatever the hell that means.

https://www.napaonline.com/Catalog/C...+50014+2014039

And their standard one for $9 less.

https://www.napaonline.com/Catalog/C...+50014+2014039


Neither one talks about how small it will filter down to.

Be cool and do this:

http://nicktane.com/osc/product_info...products_id=51

Then you can use CAT diesel filters, which are cheap AND a 2-micron filter.

I ended up ordering through. . . http://www.fleetfilter.com/

It was 30% cheaper then running up to Napa, even with shipping, and their site says that they are 4 micron filters.

Napa GOLD filters are made by Wix and use the same part numbers minus the first digit. I don't know who makes their house brand.

speak of the Devil... Looking like I just lost an injector. Where or who is the best diesel repair shop in town? and can they test injectors?

Really?

Robs Diesel, Brazos valley welding.

that blows

Do you have a number for them, because the one off google and off their old youtube commercial has been disconnected? and has Brazos valley welding started fixing diesels lately?

The reason I'm looking for a good shop is so they can test the injectors and not just a kill test. Hopefully I only have to replace one.

The symptoms: A new rattle or knock that sounds exactly like injector rattle, and diesel smell in the oil.

No hard starts or smoke on starts, no higher running temps or higher EGT's, and no rough idle so hopefully I've caught this early

Well Cardoc tested the injector and all where good, as well as no miss-fires ever cataloged. Ideas?

i assume they were not in the truck when checked?

Are you running any boxes, fuel or timing?

Running a smarty jr. with a mild increase in fuel and timing and they were tested in the truck.

I think he meant bcs automotive and welding. The only thing I've seen them work on is dodge diesels. If you can't figure it out maybe they can help.
