Anyone thinking of running one of these hoods on there 2015 or 2016 2500hd? I have a gasser not a Dmax ,still think the hood makes the truck look pretty killer ..Waiting for my dealer to get back to me on price and availability.. think the ram air will drop in to the k&n intake nicely..

$708.97 for the hood, $158.25 for the chrome inlet, $96.37 for the insulator, $307.78 for the duct work. I may or may not have thought about it. The ducting goes into the hood, and then that dumps into the factory air box. The air box has an inlet that seals to the hood and it has the traditional fender inlet still. And, if the air box would work, that's another $251.52.

Same lol. I've reached the conclusion that retail price is enough to make me decide I really can't justify it enough to bug the parts guys on what my cost would be

Hey where did you get that break down ? Is there a microfiche link?

Lol guess I'm the only guy looking at doing this , there is already one truck that he bought from the dealer with the Dmax hood on the truck looks pretty sick...

I will keep you guys posted whoever is interested ,my local body shop I work with is getting me prices together

You're not. On this forum at this time, maybe. Over on duramax forum there's a couple page thread on it, and I think someone said there's a facebook group with several successful conversions. Couldn't tell ya on that one, don't use facebook.

My truck is a gas job , don't really think that matters after looking at pics of both engine bays think I'll be good... going to definitely check the duramax forums

Bud thanks so much just got all the part numbers I need along with some good info

The 2017 is pretty different under the hood compared to the 16.

Well if it makes any difference just spoke to a guy in the NYC who had the dealer install the Dmax hood on a 6.0 2500 ,or he would not take the truck. So truth be told it'll go no problem with the gasser... looks like it's time to order it up and make it happen

I wish I could put one of these hoods on without the functioning intake. The hoods look like something a middle schooler designed on the bottom side. I like the look of the outside but could not care less about the functionality.

    • That makes sense, and I think you are describing the real product problem. Capturing data is the easy part. If the owner or technician has to manually dig through five minutes of millisecond-level logs, the product has already failed. The device would be at the ECM harness, not at the OBD port, so I agree that data retrieval and event marking need to be thought through carefully. The way I am thinking about the architecture is: The recorder itself should not depend on a phone, app, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, or cloud connection to capture the event. It should always keep a local rolling buffer and lock the event locally. A button, phone app, or small cabin device would only act as an event marker. If the driver feels a stumble and presses the button 10–30 seconds later, the pre-buffer has to already contain the useful data. For data retrieval, the practical options would be a sealed service USB lead, Wi-Fi download, or a phone/cabin companion device. I would not expect the owner to remove the ECM-side module or work with raw files directly. The cloud or AI side would be for interpretation, not for capturing the event. The truck may have no connection when the issue happens, so the evidence has to be saved locally first. After that, cloud processing could help decode the data, compare it against baselines, and generate a readable report. For the first version, I would keep the automatic triggers conservative and objective: driver event marker bus-off error passive voltage drop / brownout device reset FIFO or queue overflow a normally periodic message disappearing side-to-side communication mismatch, if the topology supports that For “learning normal,” I agree with your point, but I would not want to overclaim it as automatic root-cause diagnosis at first. A realistic first step would be learned baseline comparison for that specific vehicle and operating condition. For example, a value would only be compared against similar conditions: RPM range load / MAP throttle position gear / vehicle speed coolant and oil temperature battery voltage AFM/DFM state, if decoded and validated Then the report could flag things like: this periodic message disappeared compared with its normal timing this value deviated from this vehicle’s normal range under similar conditions the same abnormal pattern repeated after the same type of event the anomaly occurred together with voltage, oil-pressure, misfire, or communication changes But I would still call that “abnormal pattern detected,” not “replace this part,” unless there is enough validated repair data behind it. So the intended product would not be “here is a huge log.” It would need to be an event package: what triggered the capture how much pre/post data was preserved what changed before and after the event whether the device itself reset, overflowed, or saw a bus error selected graphs around the event raw data only as supporting evidence From your perspective, what would make this kind of report useful instead of just another datalog? For example: What are the top 5 parameters or events you would want highlighted first? Would you trust a learned baseline for that specific vehicle, or would you prefer fixed thresholds? How much false-positive flagging would be acceptable before you stopped looking at the reports? What would a one-page report need to show for an independent shop to take it seriously? For misfire, AFM/DFM, oil pressure, or U-code complaints, what would you want the tool to flag automatically?
