specialblend07 Posted February 5, 2018 Report Share Posted February 5, 2018 All the diesel pumps here are treated for winter. Most will also say "Winter treated" near the pump. I'd assume Michigan is the same way. I would hate to think you have to add something each time you fill up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Columbus350 Posted February 5, 2018 Report Share Posted February 5, 2018 I use howes in mine never have had a problem gelling and its sold in any truckstop /store Best thing you can do is stay on top of your fuel filter changes and run good diesel Nice Duramax here's mineI'm always on the Duramax diesel forums there's tons of GOOD info over there Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Columbus350 Posted February 5, 2018 Report Share Posted February 5, 2018 Not sure if what we get out of the pump has the additive for winter. I picked it up with like an 1/8th of a tank and last night the temp dropped and you could hear the pump working pretty hard to move the fuel before I filled up and did additive. Guess a Fass lift pump should help. Air dogg/ fass lift pumps are great Duramaxs do not have factory fuel /lift pumps The CP3/injection pump does all the work it sits in the valley of the engine so it pulls the fuel all by it's self a lift pump would help supply fuel pressure which would then in return help your fuel injectors and give your injection pump a longer lifeSent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trickedcarbine Posted February 6, 2018 Report Share Posted February 6, 2018 How do you like that aside step on there? I hate the round style. I have OEM's on my Sierra, and this Silverado has knock offs and the plastic is slick as fuck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toybreaker Posted February 6, 2018 Report Share Posted February 6, 2018 how do you GM drivers keep from breaking steering components, other than driving like old ladies? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seen several gm hd's with broken tie rods on their way into or out of glamis hooked to a toy hauler...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ginger Posted February 6, 2018 Report Share Posted February 6, 2018 there are a million different options to solve that issue. I have to rods with normal rod ends on them, pretty beefy. I havent seen anyone bend them around here besides in a truck pull situation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heck yeah you're off to a good start I've never heard of that intake though,pump rub kit is an absolute must .. after you're done with all that put you a 3 inch downpipe with a 4 inch pipe from the turbo back, my LBZ screams ,that was the first mod I done when I got my truckI didn't know they sold high idle kits I ran 12 V on a switch to the ECM to the PTO circuit , it is controlled by the cruise control switches 800 rpm's 1200 rpm's 1800 rpm's are the settingsIdaho Rob does excellent tunes!Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Columbus350 Posted February 6, 2018 Report Share Posted February 6, 2018 Yeah I love my Nerf bars N-fab three-step they are very solid and durable very heavy duty and I had them line x The bed and my bars while I was at it not slippery at all wife and kids love it.The only steering components on a GM that are weak are the pencil stick tie rods like everything else there is upgrade kits so it's not a problem, those will only break if you do lots of boosted launches guys will also upgrade the Pitman arm and idler arm just because they take it off rode and are rough with it Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are a variety of quality replacements that are beefed up. I even did kryptonite parts on my 1500. Their 2500 stuff is stout! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
