New to Duramaxs

Just traded in my 2011 Ram for a 2011 Denali HD

Truck has the following mods:

H&S MiniMaxx
5" Exhaust
9" Cognito
37" Toyos
CAI
AMP Steps

EGR and DEF are unplugged but not removed any issues with this?

Turbo back exhaust so no DPF.

What things should I know about? Motor? Drivetrain? Recalls? Etc?

Ill post pics later.

Does anyone have a service schedule? Truck only has 19k miles on it.

Any information is appreciated last 5 diesels were Rams with the Cummins so I'm brand new to GMC

Thanks

Congrats sounds like a wicked truck. You will love it my dad has the Denali aswell. You are fine with the egr turned off and the def tank. But I would just take it out because it looks ugly. Post some pics!

Might wanna check the rear diff., prob needs changed to get the nasties out if it hasn't been done, same goes for the fuel filter & trans spin-on. save money for lift pump if you run it hard with the minimaxx. change the trans spin-on every 10k or when changing oil (at least every other oil change)....and welcome! hope you like your truck

Congrats and enjoy. Lots of good info on here, lots of B.S too. The current LML Duramax is very reliable, and is the best diesel to choose from currently. When you are number 1 there will always be trolls and jelous posters trying to say otherwise, read between the lines and you will be fine.

Thanks everyone. I will get some pics on Friday

I thought the 10k filter on the Allison was no longer needed is it just a good idea?

cheap insurance. From what I've read, more guys recommend doing it around 10k than not
