Hi Btfarm and thanks for the help. I haven't yet found out how to add a signature and info at the bottom yet. This '06 Duramax is the LBZ HD2500 Crew cab and it doesn't have any mods except for Banks Monster exhaust. I did go up one tire size from stock 245/75/16 to 265/70/16 and that was last...

Hi guys, I managed (on my own) to replace the fuel filter on my 2006 Duramax LBZ. I thought everything went on correctly but now I am seeing 12 mpg when I was getting 17. I don't see any diesel leaks anywhere around the new filter, both O-rings lubed and installed correctly and hand tightened...

Thanks Pepperidge. Do I need to put in any additives to the fuel to clean the system out since the filter stayed on too long? Does dirty fuel by-pass the filter if it reaches maximum? I also watched the mileage drop recently (was consistant at 17.5 and recently was 14.5 mpg) can a clogged...

I have a 2006 Silverado Duramax LBZ. This morning I started the truck and 30 seconds later it stopped and wont start again. My bad, I have had the "fuel filter needs replacing" message on for quite some time now and my guess is that it's the reason. I can do alot mechanically but the sensor...
