I am looking to add an elevated idle feature to my 2018 Chevy sliverado 3500 duramax Dually. My truck is currently not set up with the pto feature. I currently idle my truck for about an hour a day and I am wanting to add an elevated idle to get my truck to operating temp faster to prolong the life of my truck. What are y’all adding to the truck for aftermarket parts to achieve this since the dealer is saying it’s not possible with gm parts. What else are y’all running for tuners to increase mpg that will work great with a fully deleted truck.

I would suggest contacting EFI live Australia for diesel tunes,

- Oil for Supercars 'To Run Dry In A Month'

  It's pretty amazing the reach that First Brands had. This is the first time I've seen "out of stock" on a few different sites for popular blue AC Delco filters. Inventory on the remaining ones has been hit or miss. Supposedly GM's new supplier(s) are ramping up production and popular filter "new supplier" filter models now have A/B/C designations depending on the product line and supplier? Like PF66A, PF66B, PF66C. A is their silver/advantage (budget, white filter/box) line, B is AC Delco Gold (black filter/box), and C is OE/Genuine GM (blue). Nothing like muddying the waters for the DIY mechanics.

  You are correct - I was mistaken. I'll have to see on my neighbors truck. You're probably right, but it does look rather short.

  I haven’t gotten the engine broken down yet to determine exactly but I do know the cam is done and there was misfire in 2 cylinders. While driving; check engine light blinking, stabilitrak flashing on and off and the oil PSI jumped to around 55-60 PSI. This of course after I had to deal with the 8L90 shudder that the dealer couldn’t figure out so I fixed that. If I keep the truck a built L8T is replacing the L86. The DoD/AFM kills these engines.
- Transmission Cooler
  
  By indskyz79 · Posted 3 hours ago
  
  I have the later version of this where it bypasses the radiator and only goes to the AC Condenser. I also have Speed Engineering true dual exhaust with their long tube headers. My trans got to 220 today as the 3" crossover pipe that runs directly under the trans pan is about 1mm away from it. I also have the Sure cool mod done. Had anyone installed a tru-cool 40k or mishimoto trans cooler? IF so, did you bypass the factory cooler or just run it inline after the factory cooler? I need to get these temps under control.
