Been running my Dtech from Pensacola on my 1500 for about a year, mounted in my bumper cooling nostril. No issues, but have read many reports of recent Dtech failures on the net, maybe all the post could be full of BS & trying to promote a $700 sale for someone but I doubt it? So I am a tad leery to purchase another Dtech...?

I am leaning towards the new gray Stanadyne PMD for the Tahoe so I will then have a spare PMD in each rig.

I see Leroy PMDcable is offering a new extension cable that will fit the new gray stanadyne PMD plug & play but it does not look like he is offering the gray Stanadyne PMD...???

I will not pay 500 dollars + for one so don't suggest it...not going there.

Where to buy a new Gray Stanadyne PMD...?

TIA
 
Thats a pretty decent deal on that PMD with the harness. The extension cable costs more though for the updated connector shape and gold plated pins.

I do not think there is anything inherently wrong or different in the Dtechs, but we might be making things worse by using long extensions and having them exposed to more cold temperatures and moisture in the bumper.

I think mine might be starting to get issues after 3 years on the intake. It seems that failure mode is temperature cycling and getting them colder is worse than hot. On the intake may be the worst place in a cold environment because of how fast it will cycle from freezing to 140F. A slower cycle time would be preferred. The bumper has lower top temperature, slower and less range cycle, but if driving in the cold the PMD may be running colder than it would prefer. And if no weatherproofing then moisture could get into it over time.
 
There was another PMD Co. (I can't remember the name) that had "cold weather" issues, and trucks would not start....I don't think the co. is around anymore, Jim knows who I'm talking about.
 
SOL-D from a Cdn co Called RemarQ or something kike that . Acted up in cold weather
 
If you go with a grey pmd you can't easily swap back to a black one for testing. Or alteast the way the PO did mine you can't, the lines were cut and spiced to fit the new connector.
 
I don't see anything good about it either, it pisses me off! Stupid PO, i guess atleast he relocated it, glass 1/2 full. I will be getting an adapter when I install my new IP instead of cutting the wires to match.
 
Apparently we posted at the same time I never saw your post til just now
Made my post look pretty silly. I had seen a converter plug at the same time they came out with the new Standyne. Might have been Leroy's.

At the time I was happy with my Dipaco's
I can't gety to excited over the possibility of a run-away though

It would be plug & play with Leroy's new cable Jeff

what time did these new grey stanadyne pmds come out. i got my ip replaced by the dealer last april but they just unplugged my extension harness and plugged it into the pmd mounted on the pump. i have yet to plug it back in since it runs fine just wondering if i have a grey pmd on the pump?
