Here are some more information for Chevy Duramax Diesel:

If you are thinking about purchasing a new or used pickup truck with a diesel power plant then there are some things you need to be aware of. The advantages of the diesel engine are numerous. It burns considerably less fuel than a gasoline engine doing the same work. It has no ignition system to attend to. It can deliver much more of its rated horsepower on a continuous basis than can a gasoline engine. It's fuel economy is greater than gas powered trucks of the same size and make. In fact some Dodge truck owners with the Cummins diesel are reporting 22 - plus mpg highway. The same trucks with gasoline engines are turning in around 14 - 16 mpg highway. With the cost of gasoline and diesel almost the same you cannot underestimate this advantage.

Planning to haul a trailer or a boat? This is where a diesel engine really comes into its own. The typical Ford F250 / Chevy 2500 three-quarter ton trucks with diesel engines can pull four tons with ease, yet fuel economy barely suffers. The same trucks with gasoline engines experience fuel economy dropping by half or worse. Also if you plan to do alot of hauling keep in mind a diesel holds up far better than a gas motor. In fact a gasoline engine's life span decreases exponentially while pulling heavy loads for extended periods of time while a diesel is hardly affected.

Todays diesel also enjoy much improved performance in the area of driveability. No more do you step on the accelerator and wait for the engine to wind up. Todays PowerStrokes, Duramax and Cummins diesels have plenty of get up and go right off the line. Merging with traffic is no longer the white knuckle experience it used to be.

Some disadvantages to diesel engines are that they're very heavy for the horsepower they produce, and their initial cost is much higher than a comparable gasoline engine. Repairs cost more, but diesels generally require fewer repairs than gasoline engines.

Where you purchase the truck has some bearing too. Diesel powered pickup trucks bought in Florida and other parts of the south for example generally hold up better than those purchased in the harsher northern climates.

As always we recommend that whatever type of engine you choose to operate, always follow the manufacturer's recommendations and procedures, as those folks know their product better than anyone else does.

Diesel Performance Parts

Diesel performance parts help to increase the power as well as the performance of the various diesel powered vehicles. Of late, diesel was mostly used for heavy working purposes such as diesel trucks. These diesel trucks form an ever growing segment of automotive industry. Earlier, those were used only for farms and construction purposes and in certain cases to transport heavy items, but they have become rather popular with time. As a result, several manufacturers are now producing engines that are much more advanced. These include Chevy Duramax, Ford Powerstroke, and Dodge Cummins etc. These days, with the help of diesel performance parts, you can even get powers as high as 1000hp and 1600 ft. lbs of torque from your diesel engine. Hence, there has been a growth of these parts every where.

 

Adding power to diesels:

 

Generally, these diesel engines strangle on fuel i.e. the richer the fuel, the greater the power of the engine. However, its power is narrowed only by smoke and exhaust gas temperatures. A diesel engine, which is exposed to excessive smoke and gas temperature, lasts for a short time. There is a myth that in such a situation, you can save your diesel engine by hooking up a diesel computer tuner. But this is a complete fallacy. Only a proper combination of airflow and fuel flow can help your engine to survive. Thereby, these manufacturers identified this need of the diesel engines to increase the airflow and density.

 

Additional fuel flow with diesel computer tuner further requires improved air ducting, proper increase in additional boost, as well as greater charge air cooling.

 

Advantages of diesel performance parts:

 

• Diesel performance parts facilitate in escalating the torque and the horsepower of the diesel engine.
• These diesel performance parts have eliminated the need to reprogram the vehicle’s computer chip.
• These diesel performance parts are very convenient and easy to install.
• They offer additional horsepower by altering some setting of the main computer chip of your diesel engine.
• These diesel performance parts can help to increase the torque up to 35% and fuel mileage can be increased up to 10%.
• They can also increase the life span of a diesel engine.

 

 

There are various types of diesel performance parts, including air filter, computer chips and tuners, exhaust systems and performance combo etc. Many factories are now manufacturing such diesel performance parts including the top quality brands such as Air Lift, Edge, Banks, TS Performance, Autometer, Snow Performance, MADS Smarty and many more.

 

You can browse through a huge collection of branded diesel performance parts at http://www.pmtdiesel.com/ .

 

Pmtdiesel.com stocks all diesel performance parts from chips and tuners to full diesel performance systems, with thousands of products in inventory from only the top quality brands like: Diablo Sport, AFE, Autometer, Air Lift, Superchips, Edge, Magnaflow, Banks, Bullydog and more.

How to change engine coolant in 2004 chevy silverado 3500 (6.6L turbocharged duramax diesel)?

It has a pressurized reservoir, it does not have a cap on the radiator? any help would be appreciated

Thanks
there is a drain valve on the bottom of the radiator, but my question is how do i refill the radiator since there is only a pressurized reservoir and no cap on the radiator?

The system is filled via the reservoir. There is a small 12mm bleed bolt in the top of the thermostat housing (which is right behind the oil fill tube) that must be removed before you start filling the reservoir. Once your coolant starts coming out of this hole, reinstall the bolt. Then continue filling the reservoir to the full mark. Leave the cap off, start the engine, and fill back up to mark. Put cap on and drive it until it gets to operating temperature, then recheck level and fill to mark.

Locally built engine winner
A pickup truck powered by an engine built in Moraine recently bested the competition in a test overseen by PickupTrucks.com.The 2011 Chevrolet Silverado 2500, with the new Duramax 6.6-liter V-8 diesel engine and Allison transmission, beat other trucks in the three-quarters-ton diesel category, according to PickupTrucks.com, which released results of the test — or, as the Web site dubs it, the ...
