Got a 2009 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 5.3 AFM (non flex). If a tuner is used to disable the DOD - will the oil pressure be to high I read something on that needed some clearification. Would you need to do the DOD Delete KIT prior to this? Any help/explanations would be great. thanks

That diesel from Ford appears to have a TIMING BELT - so that will have to be replaced or it will eventually break. Looks very expensive and most likely a nightmare to work on.

What was the $1300 transmission oil change, what all did that involve? What was the $2100 was that related to emissions?

Looks more like a guard for the harmonic balancer.

I am fixin to start in on the fuel pump replacement (been reading the forums here). My question is I have the Ext Cab short bed (26 gallon) I think not 100% sure. On the replacement pump from reading there is 3 different models of them. One with Evap, one without and another one. Is it easier to raise the bed than dropping the fuel tank out of the truck? ** Adding in the fuel gauge stays at full all the time except when it gets a little lower in the tank. This sensor is on the fuel pump itself correct? Does anyone have any screenshots of this doing it either way? thanks

As long as it runs I could careless about the dashboard. Scratches, cracks and/or other things don't bother me much. Got a 2000 Z71 with many, many miles no cracks and another 2009 with no cracks neither have been pampered either.

I would think around $45,000 which is beyond insanity.

My big concern is the EMISSIONS they cripple it with and the urea can that be gotten rid of? All of these EPA mandates that cripple the owner with super expensive repairs and particulate filters that clog up. The death of a diesel is all of this mandated garbage on there. They even put emissions on tractors it is beyond stupid.

Will it have manual transmission?

Makes sense, does this go back to the 'every bore' is the same in the blocks and the same piston/ring set for everyone where they are not really matched?

What exactly if the ring/piston update a new design???

I bet the EPA bean counters will pass regulations in the not so distant future making this illegal and/or unable to turn off.
