Paul, those are great. I just went over 200k with my 8.1/Allison. I helped a good friend find what I consider the "Unicorn" of Chevy trucks. His is a 2004 2500 Crew Cab with Quadrasteer. Seems like chevy never paired anything bigger than a 6.0 motor, and I don't think the Allison was put behind a 6.0 motor till after 2007. Even so, that crew with qsteer is sweet! Only ever seen 2 others in ally travels. The Denali trucks seem to be the most popular application, but always an extended cab.

I've seen a few subs, nut never driven one. With the shorter wheel base than a crew truck, that think must be awesome to back trailers up. No wonder why they used your truck to do reverse figure 8's in that commercial.

Don't want to jinx you, but how have your brake lines held up?

Options were limited once you selected Quadasteer, no sunroof, due to roof top lighting, no Barn door option and yes top engine was the 6.0. The Suburbans and Yukons were limited to four colors, Silver, White Green and a Beige /Brown none of them black yet the Danali could be had in black. The extra width of The rear axle gives the vehicle great stability at speed, hence the wider flairs and clearance lights.
A few off road shops around the US have done conversions putting the Duramax in Suburbans

Just bough a new set of wheels and tires for my Wells Cargo from Trailer Tires.com. They came mounted but not balanced. Do you guys balance your trailer tires or is there no need.

Class pay Attention subject change.......... [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/scholar.gif[/img]

Lets talk Duramax Trucks......

what tuners do you like,

what about the EGR delete kits?

what ex system have you guys been running, most guys claim 4&quot; kits on the net...... my old Cummins ran better with a &quot;3.5 and only one muffler I thought and had a nice mellow tone to it

thinking the same for the Chev? I want it to breath but don't need the obnoxious drone I hear on big ex trucks driving around me.

Whats the scoop fella's???????


I picked up an early '07 LBZ motor'd truck and need to turn it up a tad.


Peace, B.

She wasn't much of a tow rig, but it was my daily for a few summers. Still kicking myself for selling it. I painted it Ferrari monza tri-coat red (my first ever complete tri-coat), 10.5:1 4 banger neighbor waker, all ported polished and custom cam. 4.56 gears, spool, all the sway bar and suspension goodies. She was the best looking mini truck in the area.

And what stupid me did with the money from little red. Bought BIG RED. Cool truck ill admit, it was all west coast original, hopped up SBC and a 4 speed stick. Slider window, hooker headers and true 3'' straight pipes. Sounded like hell was raising up from the dead. Haha





Then what the NEW owner did a few days after i sold it. Hydro locked that bad ass SBC and basically f*cked the old girl right up. A sad sight.
