Duramax looks killer with the new wheels.

I love black wheel but not the two toned stuff. All black or nothing. So Im digging the new ones.
And I cant stand those obnoxious aftermarket grills. So I'm loving the clean GMC front.

All in all, great looking truck.

Only ran it for a day. Did not beat on it either. I have the tru boost in there that does not work at all and is a crappy setup. Once I have a minute I will get that manual boost controller and dial it down to about 12lbs.

What would most likely cause a front main blowing like this? Maybe the front pump went out?

The problem is trans pressure is pushing seal out. I've seen it a lot. You have to remove front pump drill out the return behind the seal. I drill my 4l80 is big as the pump had room for.

You can use old seal to judge how big hole can be. And I oval the hole behind seal to get most flow.
