A much needed ---> :rainbow1: This place is dead lately.

Our shop's A/C will be up and running soon! Thank god! It's been miserable at work. Every year this chit goes out and it's band aid'd back together. Not anymore. Finally the dealer sprung for 2 brand new units. :rainbow1:

Bert is the golden child. He can get away with anything at work...he's BaBerrrrrrrrt! :rainbow1:

Looks even better finally off the trailer! :rainbow1:

Never heard of either one. I'll have to check them out.

The difference in tire size will hurt the differential if it's anything more than a few blocks. I'd throw the spare on the front tire and then put the front tire on the back. Or plug it to get to the shop.

oops, I'm slackin again. Hurry up and vote! :rainbow1:

I got a whole pack of them. Sounds like pretty much the same thing I have.

People worry too much about EGT's. Wanna know why? Because they put a gauge on it. Raptoroy put a gauge on his bone stock 07 LMN DMax. He wanted to see what his EGT's got up to when pulling his hauler with it bone stock. Guess, what...if you pretty much keep your foot in it you will see 1600+ with a bone stock Dmax. I keep mine under 1450-1500 (under extreme conditions in short spurts). These motors can take it. I wouldn't go much more than that though. You could crack or melt a piston if held there and pushed hard enough.

I'm not sure of the brand, but they are pretty much all the same. Best buy sells them. You can cut to fit pieces for anywhere on the camera.

Oh wow that's horrible. Sorry to hear that. RIP What happened? An accident?

Right on, Jon! Congrats. Any job is something these days.

Right on Andy. It will be sweet to have your own paint scheme and make it yours. Looking forward to seeing how it turns out.

The early LB7 Duramax (01-04) injectors were a sh*t design. After that there were no more issues with them. We hardly ever get a late 04 or newer Dmax in for an injector concern.

Some shots I took today... She sure is sexy.

SICK! Bring it to work tomorrow!

I like it. They sound like they have a pretty wide range of influences...all good ones too. So are there just those 5 songs on the album or are there more? Amazon blows.

Sorry we couldn't make it Terry. I thought we'd be done much earlier with helping my mom move into her new place. I hope it was a hit and great turnout! So now it looks like we're off the the Silverton pool in a little bit more some One Pin Short. This is night 3 of live music poolside for us.

Oh chit, don't sweat it. Those don't have any issues.

much better pics! lol Looks so badass! Congrats Bert. Now hurry up and get her finished soon!

They aren't that difficult...mostly just time consuming. But like I said earlier there are a few things/ tips along the way that are pretty important. There's no special tools other than a short shank 5mm allen socket w/ swivel for accessing the lower rocker cover bolts near the firewall. As for the filter, I really doubt that would help much. The early (LB7) Dmax injectors are just a chitty design in my opinion.

Do you have a chair? I think the parts are roughly ~$2500-3000. (The injectors are like $300 each.) Add about another $1200-1500 for labor.

I can't believe it's finally time! Looking good, Bert! Sick

You're very welcome, Lisa.

Driver side bank: cylinders are 2,4,6 & 8 Passenger side bank: cylinders are 1,3,5, & 7 (It's opposite of a traditional GM gasoline motor.) Here's a little advise: Never change only SOME injectors on that year Duramax. Replace them all...as a set only (all 8). There are a couple reasons why. Sometimes you may have high balance rates on one cylinder as a result of another injector issue. Another reason is if one or some injectors are bad, the rest are very soon to follow. As for the required parts, here is a list including the part #'s. 8 injectors, 97729095 2 rocker cover gaskets, 97188896 8 return line seals, 97228933 2 return pipe seals, 97600925 2 fuel feed hose seals, 97251047 1 water outlet seal, 94011604 sealant for upper rocker covers, 12378521 fuel filer, 12633243 gallon of Dexcool coolant I hope he knows what he's doing. It's no simple task like screwing in spark plugs. There are a couple critical things along the way that shouldn't be overlooked. Good luck!
