Cool. I would like to see that progress. How much is the Kryptonite stuff?

Your truck doesn't have a PS cooler? I thought all GMT800s had that? Or is that specific to the Duramax models?

Edit: I should probably do PS flush on my trucks. I haven't done that on my Suburban since I bought back in 2020. Doh!

@wretched73 Buy once cry once. I’m also tired of **** parts lol

@strutaeng All the Kryptonite stuff is $2200 about.
I thought all GMT-800s did too but I don’t see one on this truck. A friend big into duramaxes says they didn’t come with one but I’ve read online they were an option.

@1FastBrick Do you know? ^^

It's weird the early Duramax trucks didn't seem to have the PS cooler a lot of the time, it was a popular addon according to some other forums. The gas trucks like mine have it though.

The Dmax did not come with a PS cooler. Most just add one from a gas truck.

Hooked up to my buddy’s dump trailer to clear out my sunroom demo. Probably about a ton of material in there, had it pretty damn full. Shingles and the framing of the sunroom.
Maybe a 7k-8k lb tow. Think that’s the heaviest I’ve pulled with this truck so far lol

Yeah it’s nice and easy. Think I might have a boost leak as the truck feels slightly down on power, could be imagining that though lol
