    Timbrens

    With the 1" space I get a stock ride, because they are not going to contact the axle. When they were in contact with the axle it was a little harsher ride but I did not mind it. The boss lady was the one who was a bit unhappy. I left the gravel yard a few weeks ago and weighed 12,500 pounds the...

    Timbrens

    I have them and like them. The first bracket they sent made it so that the timbren rubber spring was always in contact with the axle. I did not mind the little harsher ride, but the boss complained. I called Timbren and told them what was going on and they sent a new mounting bracket free of...

    Stoopidddd ?? on LLY

    Last Saturday my brother picked up his LLY Duramax, Allison, Short bed crew cab(that way it fits in the garage), 4x4, with virtually all the bells and whistles. It has been a few months since I rode in or drove a Duramax, but his seemed to have a better tone or pitch whatever you want to call...

    Stoopidddd ?? on LLY

    I know that you should never believe anything the dealer says without verifying it yourself but here goes. My brother wants a new Duramax/Allison, I told him about the new LLY, and the improvements, power, turbo, fuel lines, and a few other things that I forget now. So instead of buying a...

    2004 5.3L taking longer to warm

    If you have a cold front and it takes as long as a diesel to warm up, go get a new thermostat. I bought a brand new one for the old truck and it went bad the first week I had the thing. My guess you got a bad part. steve

    Joey, one of us must be wrong or just different opinions of ride goodness. The newer GM's I have been in have had real nice smooth rides, I had to try to spill my coke in their new trucks.

    6.5 died

    Wow, I did not mean to start a pissing contest here! Yes my brothers 6.5 is a POS and I know of a few others that are a POS. People will tend to always tell you about a bad experience with a vehicle or service at a restaruant. But they generally don't go out and tell you about good vehicle or...

    6.5 died

    It is not normal, my brothers 6.5 is a total POS. He is waiting for the new LLY maxi-pad. He is a city boy and said my truck is too much of a truck and is going to stick to GM. He has been stranded in just about every western state, and BC. On Monday he just put in set number 4 maybe 5 of...

    Air Horn set up

    If you don't want on board air, you will have to just keep filling your air tank off the home or diesel station compressor. To be functional and pracical I think that you need on-board air. I have the Pac-brake with on board air and a 2 1/2 gal tank it is good for a few blasts on the air...
