So, Bobby...being the calculating trained warrior NCO that you are. Take the appropriate action, Execute!
your standard grunt level CQB is just putting rounds and rounds on scary stuff till it stops scaring you!
I just don't want to wind up missing a digit or limb. I can sometimes get in a hurry to get results.
For the geek in you... this will tell you about the comms protocol for the 01-02 versus the 03-07http://duramaxdiesels.com/forum/showpost.php?p=595459&postcount=8
Nice findIt may be far off, but the LBZ heads/injectors swap in there pretty easily I hear.I haven't heard a lot of good news about the LB7 injector. Neighbor had a 01 LB-7 and he was constantly replacing injectors in it. Other than that, it should be a tank

Neighbor had a 01 LB-7 and he was constantly replacing injectors in it. Other than that, it should be a tankDid some VIN# checking and determined it has been 100% updated in regards to any recalls, and injectors were replaced at 110k in '06 under warranty. I'm planning on running either some Power Service Diesel Kleen or Howe's to see if cleaning it up a bit internally takes care of my intermittent smoking issue. it's bluish white, and doesn't happen all the time which to me points to an injector or two "sometimes" sticking. Anyone had any experience, issues, with either of those additives?
Not sure if anyone else mentioned it yet and assuming your truck is 4x4, there is a pump rub kit for the transfer case that is generally recommended to do. I was planning to look into it but sold my truck to get the family hauler. I had an 05 of basically the same truck.
I think I did a writeup on my build thread over on Duramax Forums about diesel fuel additives.The best by far is soybean derived oil found in some B20-B100 fuels. Nothing else comes close to the lubricity found in that bean. Lubricity, or the lack of it is the problem with the HPFP failures we are seeing everywhere, particularly in the 4 banger TDI VWs. Also in the 6.4L Ford using the CP4A HPFP.The best additive you can buy for lubricity is Optilube XPD. I buy it in 5 gal pails. I have noted it reduces fuel mileage by a point to a point and a half. But the SCAR tests show virtually no wear occurring at the piston/bore interface in the HPFP.The Cat filter seems the best. Air Dog bases need modification to run that filter. I detailed that as well in my D-Max build thread
Tate, the one on the front of the engine is not a bleed screw, it is where you hook up a pressure tester to check how much psi you have on the high pressure side.
Hope it stays that way... If not, check your crankshaft and camshaft position sensors and connections. Sometimes those fail, or wires chafe/disconnect from harness, etc. In the worst case from what i've read, could be reluctor wheel coming loose... but i hope it's just a fluke from a misfire or something after your fuel filter change.
Any ideas on why my ac compressor kicks on and off intermittently... when the AC is turned off?
