Ok this is my first diesel, Im pretty mechanically inclined but I only know theory on how diesels work. I do understand the basics though. The way she is, is the way she was when I bought her. Transmissions are greek, I understand power in and power out but nothing in between. As far as Im concerned torque converters work on PFM. I did all the work on the silverado I traded in on the ram. All I know is its a bad *** of a truck and I love her, loud and nasty. Im looking for all the info I can get my hands on.... common problems, fixes, recalls, flashes, codes, vin breakdown, fluids, everything I can find out. You all know these trucks inside and out and I need to pics your brains for info. Any info and recomendations are more than welcome and appreciated. I know the performance side of the house I spent almost a year in an offroad and performance shop working and learning everything I could. I was discharged from the navy and came home to Ky to start over. Im not rollin in money and Im good at figuring things out. HELP!

Keep an eye on your lift pump. Some on the 03-04.5s tend to go out because they are canister mounted. Other than that they are relatively problems free...


Was that dyno run with the Banks? I sure hope not!

If you're looking for any mods, do some searches and you will find what you need. Smarty is a very good word!

 

The truck didnt come with the PDA or chip. Im saving to get my hands on a new one. If I could sell my spare tq converter Id be doing great.
