Just picked my first Diesel PU. 2008 GMC 4x4 Crew, shorty. The thing is just sick. Did the Rhino Liner, GM boards. It has everything else (SLT) Nav is a pain (so far)

What do I need to do/know besides drive it?

Congrats and welcome!!

Thanks - I am looking hard the Banks DPF back dual exhaust, mostly for appearance sake. The new after cooler outlet is ugly as sin. What do you know about this system?

I had it with the cummins but have fought it off with the Dmax.

**daddysLBZ** · 10-09-2008, 06:44 PM

Welcome to the forum...Keep up with the maintence and double the fuel filter intervals,works great that way...

Change fuel filter twice as often[Dmax needs this!!]

100 ponies with just the exhaust or is there a tune involved? Do you sell the Banks system? If so, what is the price tag? Im seeing 680 bucks most places. Seems like a lot of scratch for what is there.
