Figured there was a catch with how cheap it is.

It wouldn't make it......Getting stranded on I40 somewhere would suck. These can get high with both the radiator & condenser needing replaced if contaminated bad enough.

Just bought a power supply & breakout box from GODIAG, Getting quite a bit of bench tuning & programming lately & the deep cycle battery I use is heavy.

The unit itself is pretty stout, Cracks in the 1234 piston & 35R drum are caused by runway line pressure.....PR Valve wear is the cause. A good percentage of 6L80/90 unit could be saved with a Tune, Billet twin disc converter, Blueprinting the pump & a Sonnax Zip Kit at around 80,000 miles.

That can be misleading, When the converter fails, It sheds a lot of debris, This debris packs into the filter & clogs it up......Letting it sit for a bit can unpack the filter just enough for the unit to operate again....Until the filter loads up.

Vehicles are made to assemble....Not disassemble. These bolts were installed before the windshield was installed on the assembly line

Under dash work is one of the many separate skillsets of being a automotive mechanic. Shortcuts likely exist outside of the factory service manual. For example....Some GM cars (Camaro & Cadillac ATS) calls to pull the windshield to get the dash out only because some ridiculously long bolts that...

The 2020 Gladiator got approved for a warranty company supplied long block from LKQ which is a Reman, I protested that decision as a new Mopar OE engine is cheaper, Their reasoning is the longer warranty???

Tremec can't design a transmission to save their life....ALL the "good" units were engineered by Borg Warner including the TR-6060 which was derived from the Borg Warner T-56. Borg Warner used to engineer & produce automatic transmissions before that division was sold to Toyota becoming...

Which was reengineered into the 4R70/4R75 that were decent units, Just like the 700R4 had a rocky start until 4L60's got better year after year.

Silicone grease can contaminate oxygen sensors, One of the most overused greases in my opinion!

In all seriousness, Most home repairs don't require a full size reciprocating saw, I keep a M12 Milwaukee Hackzall at home....It's compact size come in handy!

Then I'll forget where it is :)

I have a wife & three daughters......What rubbing alcohol ;)

Back onto the LBZ Duramax....
