John Bruh Posted December 16, 2008 Report Share Posted December 16, 2008 It also has an after market secondary gas tank in the bed of the truck under the soft cover. From the manual I guess that it auto fills your tank with it's own fuel pump. Anyone familiar with one of these? I've never seen or even heard of one. trans-flow system? the 2005's are sweet trucks. 2004s would of been the best bet for upgrades. you can get to the injectors by the valve cover, not like the early ones 01-02 where u have to take the head off. The 2005's have a factory cat and get less mileage. Time for a straight pipe and EFI live! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They actually called me back because they wanted to look the truck over and detail it before they give it to me and they said that they need to replace the cat and have ordered one, free of charge to me but the Check Engine light was not on. Looks like someone is trying to get some warranty work. I have the EFI live, just need to get another vin license. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 2005's have a factory cat and get less mileage. 04 was a half year on engine models. 01 to 04.5 is the LB7, valve covers come off to change injectors. 04.5 and 05 have the same engine, LLY (easy injector replacement) but it doesn't really matter because the LLY injectors are great and rarely go bad like the LB7's I get the same mileage with my LLY that everyone I know gets with their LB7's. LLY has a better turbo and the cat can get lost very easily. There is more tuning capability with the LLY in EFI Live as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the info, I should get the truck tomorrow and I'll get the picks up. Do you user EFI live? I have little experience tuning and none with a Diesel, time to learn.

XChris1632X Posted December 17, 2008 Report Share Posted December 17, 2008 ^^^^ He is a very helpfull person when it comes to EFI and knows a lot. He helped me through a couple begining tune issues. If you can get the time with him to talk about it I would recomend doing so. If you go to Dieselplace.com you can download tune files that have already been made to start out with. I wish I would have seen this thread before, I would have had the perfect truck for you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diesel Pilot Posted December 17, 2008 Report Share Posted December 17, 2008 x2 on dieselplace, it's a great Duramax site with a ton of info. If you decide to lean toward high performance goals, Duramaxdiesels is more hot rod duramax oriented. Feel free to pm me if you have any questions about EFI or mods.

starkmaster03 Posted December 18, 2008 Author Report Share Posted December 18, 2008 What's the cheapest price for diesel right now? I've seen it at 2.69 and 2.45 is it any lower then 2.45 I need to fill it up and I think I'm going to do both tanks to see how long it lasts me.

bahd-ler Posted December 20, 2008 Report Share Posted December 20, 2008 I'll post here, instead of starting a new thread, since you diesel guys are here. I'm thinking of purchasing a FASS fuel system. I can get on for cheap, but I'm not really sold on it. Any imput? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diesel Pilot Posted December 20, 2008 Report Share Posted December 20, 2008 Pros: great pump, will last forever, proven to support insane HP, awesome customer service, might even come with factory guaranty for 5 years. Cons: Loud, pricey (you have that covered) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bahd-ler Posted December 20, 2008 Report Share Posted December 20, 2008 I'll wait for Chris to chime in, if I remember correctly he had a injection pump go bad, or a couple... and I do belive they are lubricated by the diesel, so if your starving the pump, its bound to go bad. What I don't understand is if its a power gainer of just a insurance policy. Granted I don't want to but a $1600 inj. pump. Some people swear by it, but I just see it as a "save your ass" part. I'm just trying to figure out the pacticallity of it with my application. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
