    May seem obvious but...

    The Duramax is a diesel design right from the get-go. Isuzu/GM partnership. The 6.2/6.5 are also diesel designs Detroit Diesel/GM partnership. The 5.7 diesel was the gas-conversion job.

    kali vultures.....sharpen your knives....

    I agree with Towcat. Titles are one thing, but keeping both the Title and the Vin tags??? Bet good beer that there is a lien on it and they're out to **** the lienholder (usually a bank).

    Did the 01' X not have a cat?

    You got it.... Not cheap to replace. I think the one on my Mustang is something like 1200 bucks.

    Yep... Urban mining.... Idiots with sawzalls. zip zip and away they go with the cat.... and you have a big hole in the exhaust system. It was a problem awhile back, but now it seems to have kinda faded out. Not sure on the coasts though.

    engine sleeves

    No, The B-series Cummins is a parent-bore engine. No sleeves/liners at all in it. If the bores are damaged, then they can be bored over and the appropriate oversize pistons and rings installed. The C-series and up are all sleeved engines. I beleive the IS* series of engines still stayed...

    Cruising rpms

    Quick rule of thumb on diesels is that if you can't accelerate in the gear you're in, you're lugging it- drop a gear and kick up the rpms. 1200-1800 is the ideal (economic) cruise range IMHO for the 1st and 2nd Gen. 12-valves. The 2nd and 3rd gen. 24 valves are a different story, longer...

    53 block

    I remember reading a whole crap-load of information somewhere regarding just the 53 issue blocks. If I can find it again, I'll post the link. Basically Whitmore pretty much covered the high-points of the issue though! The issue never affected Mexican cast blocks but unfortunately, they are in...
