Re: Fuel Filter housing on LB7 Duramax
I did the rebuild and it didn't fix anything. Found out the problem was the check valve inside the housing that was allowing the system to lose prime. That part is not available from GM or the aftermarket. 1st housing lasted 267,000 miles. Maybe this will also.184Views1like0CommentsRe: Transfer case problems
I had a truck come in to our shop a few years ago with a bearing type whine that sounded like it was coming from the transfer case or rear diff. After checking both of them and finding nothing wrong we decided to check the fluid in the front diff. The fluid was full of metal. The inner pinion bearing was bad. Only explanation I could think of was the noise was traveling down the driveshaft. Not saying this is your problem but it might be worth looking at.418Views0likes0CommentsFuel Filter housing on LB7 Duramax
I had to replace the fuel filter housing on my truck last week. The one that GM says fits from 01-03 costs over $500. The one for trucks from 04-12 is just over $100. I decided to see if the later model housing would work. The only difference in them is how the metal pipes are pointing. I had to change the 2 fuel lines because the old ones were too short. Total amount spent was just under $135.777Views0likes2CommentsRe: The Story That Won't Go Away
I will stick with the 12 year old GMC. I have a friend with a '13 Dodge. It is a nice truck but I like the fuel mileage I get much better. And as far as "having no clue" I am pretty sure I can hold my own when talking about vehicles and what breaks on almost any given make or model.485Views0likes0CommentsGood experience with an RV repairman
Recently a friend of mine got what he thought was a good deal in a used trailer. He is a newbie so he didn't have any idea what to look for. Well, he was bold faced lied to. The camper has extensive damage because of a roof leak. I took his trailer to a repair man today. The guy told him it was a shame that the damage was allowed to happen to such a nice camper. He told my buddy that the best thing he could do was to sell it because after the repairs he was going to be completely upside down. He said "yeah I can fix it and take your money but I don't want you to have 10K in a 7K trailer". It is nice to see that there are honest people left in the world. For any newbie out there that reads this take someone with you that knows what to look for if you are looking to buy a used trailer.1.5KViews0likes7Comments
