2006 2500HD 6.0 BUILD. (new project)


Recommended Posts

The Start of the build:

 

I picked up a STOCK 2006 2500HD single cab 8ft bed for work/new project.

I bought the truck for work and hauling toys around. After working my magic and shopping around i got it for 9k minus uncle sam getting his cut...

 

I think it was a great deal compared to what i have seen around on craigs, ebay, dealers you know the routine, this thing was mint. Had 100,000 miles on the dot, but zero rust anywhere, not a rip, a tear, new tires, no lights, brakes were new, had a upgraded kenwood headunit so i slapped a 10" truck sub, and a 1600W amp and 4" door speakers i had lying around from my last truck, I MEAN THIS TRUCK WAS CLEAN!!!

 

Now i hope this helps people with potentially finding a good suite for their truck or build because i have done a lot of builds from tuners, to imports, to trucks but this was my first LS build and im still waiting for the remainder of the parts. Once everything dropships i will be installing and posting the DYNO numbers. My tuner is a pro with LS motors and lets just say this thing is gonna be a NASTY auto work truck sleeper ALL NA haha.

 

PARTS:

 

LS3 Precision Race CNC Ported Heads

Upgraded GM Valves

.660 PRC/PAC dual spring kit with titanium retainers all milled to 229/236 Cam

 

Texas Speed 229/236, .629/.615, 111LSA, Three bolt core Cam

 

7.40 Hardened Chromoly Pushrods

 

LS6 Race billet single roller timing set, Z06 chain, 3 keyway sprocket, and 3 bolt cam

 

Forged Wysco Pistons

 

LS6 Ported oil pump

Custom Performance 1 3/4" Long tube headers

 

3" Performance Y pipe

 

K&N Cold Air

 

Upgraded Trans cooler, and 3.73 gears.

 

Then Custom tune and Dyno

 

 

 

 

Anyways, I will have all my parts i need to finish by 2/10.2016 she will be on the dyno 2 days after i get all the shit in. let me know what you guys think of the project and stay tuned, this "work" truck will knock your socks off.

      I have a 2022 trail boss lt that has about 6100 mile on it now. Bought it brand new in may 2022 and it seems like the drivers seat leans to the left towards the door. Almost feels like Im gonna fall out of it and no matter how I adjust it it seems the same. Visually it looks like it sits level and is fine. Is it possible something is broken inside like the frame? I would assume the frame would have to be sturdy. Is there any place that sell a better bottom cushion?

      My l84 5.3 cracked some pistons now thinking of doing a light hone but wanted to know if it would even save the engine ? The scratches are pretty light my nail doesn’t get stuck but I do feel em. The pours on the other hand I’m not sure what could have caused those little things ?

      Hello all, My Sway bar was hitting my CV axle, as the title says. So I crawled under some trucks at the dealer to see what stock trucks are like and it turns out that the new TB/AT4's have longer end links then my 2020 TB. The new end link has a 3 inch rod vs the 1-3/4 inch OE part.
       
      The part number for the longer end link is P/N:85590925

      I have a 2020 RST with the 3.0 LM2 Duramax with 79k miles… the flywheel failed when I was driving down the highway and left me dead in the water.. I had it towed to the dealership 4 weeks ago and they called today and said the transmission and the engine needs to be replaced. Has anyone experienced this with their trucks? I never towed anything heavy and was religious with service.. luckily all covered under the 100k powertrain warranty…

      Okay so I broke my foot a last month so my truck has been sitting during the winter. Just recently the check engine light has came on. 
       
      I used my code reader and is said the thermostat was running cold. 
       
      And the engine fan automatically comes on and stays on for a little even after I turn the truck off. 
       
      My question is there a simple fix to this? Or would this require a replacement?
