Duramax is getting better

Seems as though GM has made several noteworthy improvements in the 04 Duramax. Many things like injectors, fuel filtering, external injection lines, very easy to change injectors, variable vane geometry turbo, improved EGR system and many other things (I cant remember them all). This engine code LLY should be a major improvement in the Duramax lineup.

Its good to see them fixing the problems that owners have had to deal with for the last few years. One thing I read was that all trucks get a high idle button standard. You could add one by connecting to a ECM pin before...but now its stock.

Cummins...make DC wake up and give us a high idle manual toggle switch!
