WOW...... I know its been a few days but the truck is an absolute monster now..... AFE cold air, 4" flow pro with efi live tuner on the sport/economy tune... runs great! worth every penny. Now I need to find out about a lift pump. Its not required I don't believe but im thinking about adding it. not sure if I want to pay a shop for the install or do it myself. Thanks for all the help on here. #happycustomer!

Absolutely do the lift pump. The shop that did my delete wont even do the work unless you get a pump. its too cheap to do to risk damaging the injectors or injector pump

ride big pay big. It's better then blowing something up that's preventable. $1200 is half a set of injectors just parts. Also might want to get another quote i checked my invoice $589 for the Fass pump, unfortunately labor isn't broken down but was $404 total...

Running the tune he is the stock fueling system can easily handle the demands, what he is gaining is water/dirt filtering.

 

You cannot say that a economy tune justifys a Fass system, you are doing it for the filtering not the added fuel pressure.

 

I WOULD have one even on a stock pump, the flush mount frame kits are nice and easy install.

The stock pump is self priming, you simply turn the key on and you will hear the pump turn on and prime the system, no stress at all.

 

Install is pretty easy, just depends on if you feeling like doing it or paying someone else to do it.

Sure

 

I am sure there are write ups on the install on the Duramax forums, might see if there is a video or two and a write up, sure makes it nice to have all the needed tools laid out and know how to do it before hand.

You guys are really scratching me where I itch.

I'm seriously considering, just a matter of when.

 

I went back and forth numerous times on whether or not I should do it.... I wish I did it before I brought the truck home from the dealership now.

      I just bought one of these.   https://www.topdon.us/collections/diagnostic-tools/products/artidiag-pro   Yeah, it`s got a cable. $250/year after 2 years. Do I want more? Yep. But, I`m not working any more and can`t afford a whirlpool in my tool box.

      Why don't I have a good scanner? I've always wanted one when I've needed one.   My latest reading says I don't need to do a relearn on the ckp sensor on a 1995 with OBD 1.5. The relearn is prescribed for the later-model 1995's which shipped with actual OBD II when GM completed the transition in prep for the 1996 MY. I need to confirm that. Did you know forums are disappearing? Knuckleheads on Facebook... it's not the same. It's just not.   So, scanners. Again, shooting myself in the foot for having eBayed my Snap On MT2500 "brick" with all the adapters. Not that I couldn't buy another but those are getting quite old, and mine wasn't new enough to work on 2000's vehicles.   Damn it (as I'm scanning my email between paragraphs here). Did you know there's a 2000 Jimmy 2-door on BaT that's ending this morning? It's local. I want it. 14k miles. Absolutely beautiful.   Back to scanners. MT2500's are old. Solus, now that could be a contender. There's a ~2008 Verus with a system error that's basically new in box for cheap. Hmm...I'm not sure about a scanner that runs an archaic version of windows (95 or CE, I can't tell).   I want the ability to reset and rotate TPMS, test individual modules, bleed ABS, electronic parking brake controls for servicing brakes, relearn procedures and other bidirectional controls.   Snap On does an MT2600. It's a new model as of last year, marketed as their "entry" scanner. Entry? Only where $1900 gets you through the doorway plus, I'm guessing, $1000/year if you wish to keep it current. So goes scan tools actually designed for production environments. Want decent products with excellent support, you pay for it.   Everyone is raving about Autels and TopDons and Foxconns and all these newer brands that are selling the $500 "prosumer" scanners for backyard hacks like me. They're tempting...honestly. Updates are cheaper, base prices are remarkably cheaper... And you get to deal with bugs and translation whoopsies and, well, just don't use it on anything expensive, OK? Having a dealer replace an ECU because it needs to be re-imaged after an adventure in scanning is no joke. But I think most people are getting by OK with these units.   eBay on a scratch-and-sniff pro-model oldie, a shiny new TopDon, or???   God dang it, I can't stop looking at this Jimmy. I'm ready! I'll Bring The TRailer! It's beautiful.

      What have you done to your K2 today?

      I removed the OE running boards.  It looked so much better.  I wish I took them off a long time ago.     I had to put something back on for my wife.  I wanted Westin Sure Grip Running Boards but they are very pricey, like $600 plus.  I was going to go with the Ionic 41's like I had on the 2019 Silverado but went with Westin Outlaw Drop Steps instead, about $200 cheaper.  They are sturdy and functional but not super crazy about the look, but it works.
