Elaboration:

The Duramax is a General Motors diesel engine family for light-and medium duty trucks, designed by Isuzu. The 6.6-liter Duramax is produced by DMAX, a joint venture between GM and Isuzu in Moraine, Ohio. The Duramax block and heads are poured at The Defiance GM Powertrain foundry in Defiance, Ohio. This engine was initially installed in 2001 model year Chevy and GMC trucks and has been an option since then in pickups, vans, and medium-duty trucks. In 2006, production at Moraine was reportedly limited to approximately 200,000 engines per year.[1] On May 9, 2007, DMAX announced the production of the 1,000,000th Duramax V-8 diesel at its Moraine facility.


BOOM!!

 

Google is the real mythbuster! Lol

As far as the headliner Ive heard that too because it apparently dries it out but I have no facts to prove one way or the other.

Sent whistlin through my turbo.

 

No need just go search google lol. Gm and Isuzu designed the 6.6

Bigger tires on your truck make you more manly. Likewise, stacks.

 

Owning a duramax makes you get more female attention.
False: owned mine for 3 years still single Lol

seriously

 

GM designed the control systems for the engine, Isuzu designed the engine. It was a 12 hour time differential between the US and Japan that made it possible to do this in record time. Of course your gonna have problems when you cram 10lbs. in a 5lbs. doghouse, heat is always an issue with the 2006 and prior models, no place for the air to circulate out and not enough radiator for the engine.

 

I only think the LLY's have had the heating issue due to the turbo mouth piece. My truck has never had issues getting hot while hauling or running down the road. I think the older ones have more room under the hood since the cowl is further back and we have less stuff on our engines (EGR, etc.)

...Had a buddy tell me that riding with the windows down all the time will cause he headliner to fall eventually... fact or fiction? :cookoo[1]:

True, sorta.
Headliner falling? No.
But....the intermediate material bonding between the fabric and shell will deteriorate (crumble to dust) much faster, causing the fabric to break free and droop down.

 

Myth overheard.....

"Gm screwed up by not putting a Fuel Cooler on the Dmax."

Rebuttal to rebuttal of this ^^claim....

"Don't tell me! I been workin' on Diesels all my life!"

whistlin

 

not sure i understand one single thing you just said because they do have a fuel cooler... can you say that again in English? oke[1]:

 

In Anglish?

"No cooler on 'em", said he.

"Yes, they do", said I.

"Don't tell me......", said he.

 

now that i can understand :thumb

My buddies 7.5 lmm has a fuel cooler my 11 lml doesn't FWIW...

even if you did have a cooler your cp4 is still going to emplode eventually oke[1]:

 

Diesels are cheaper and/or maintenance free.....

 

Edited

 

The LLY overheats because of the small turbo mouthpiece-- changing to a LBZ one will fix that-!

I call this BS

 

It made my fan hardly ever to come on and when it did, it was only for a several seconds, then fade. I can only guess this translates into a reduction of heat load in the cooling stack since I hardly ever heard the fan again while hauling.

 

FYI......

"Duramax engines are manufactured in Moraine, Ohio, by DMAX Ltd. This is a joint venture between General Motors and Isuzu. When originally conceived, DMAX Ltd. was 60 percent owned by Isuzu and 40 percent owned by GM. Today, that ratio has swapped, and GM is the majority owner."

Diesel Power Article

I am using this to say my Duramax was made by GM.

 

Thank you. That's my argument. I don't care who helped engineer it. Lol.

 

500 million miles on a diesel....just barely broken in.

 

GM tie rods are the same as on a Yamaha golf cart.

True or false?

true, but smaller then a honda civic hatch :rof :rof

 

Which is not true about the Dmax engine

400 cu.

6.6L

6600cc

 

Well being super technical its like 403cu so they are all pretty accurate I would say

 

The Duramax trucks use a Dodge rear axle--

True or False-??

 

AAM, so it does not apply to one or the other

 

Is this true or false when it comes to EFI and a Duramax?
