    2023 GMC 1500 Denali 3.0L

    GM 3.0L Duramax diesel known problem in the cold with no fix

    Hopefully you have winterized diesel in your area. Fuel gelling? The engine should save any non check engine light codes that could shed light to that. I had a +5 deg cold start this week. No block heater, fired right up. I am now running Power Service fuel additive with anti gel. The previous 3...

    GM 3.0L Duramax diesel known problem in the cold with no fix

    Have a 2024 3.0. Was 3 deg F in the morning, oil temp was 9 deg. Plugged it in for 3 hr, went up to 20 deg and started w/ no issue. I think there was a software update for earlier years that fixed that fan issue

    Interesting vid on warranty denial on GMC

    Its not like the old days, when a wire went from the battery to a fuse to the switch on the dash to the bulb... There was no control module that you need a scanner to talk to command the indicator light (bulb) to see if its connected and drawing the correct current, then turn on, if not throw...

    Ram Customer Care Response to 0w20 Oil Question

    If the bearing tolerances between the SO and HO are the same? Why would they have two different oil requirements? The output of the HO necessitates thicker oil for the bearing film oil thickness at low RPM? The 0W20 may be for efficiency. Lake Speed Jr, The Motor Oil Geek has this video on the...

    Banks iDash Stationary Regen for LZO

    Scored on this. It applies to GM Duramax 6.6 24+, 3.0 23+, Tundra 14+, Tacoma 24+ years Got the standard unit in 2 days $205. Must be a compatible issue as I didn't get all the data on my 3.0 even with the updated firmware.
