Finally got my Duramax...
I was finally able to get myself a Duramax. I have always wanted one for a long time to be able to tow my turbo truck around as well as my farm tractors. Its a 2007.5 Duramax LMM SLT with 53k on it.
I got the truck Wednesday night and already started to mod it.
I put a 5" Mangaflow turbo back exhaust and pcv re-route. I tuned it with EFILive via Duramax tuner and wow, what a difference from stock! I couldnt be happier with the truck so far. Im going to swap over the tow mirrors, tinted tails, cleared headlights, painted emblem and my avic from 09. I also want to get it tinted some more than what it has now.
Its been real shitty weather up here so I havnt been able to wash it so please excuse it being dirty. Im having the interior detailed today so Ill post up pics when its finished.
I want to level it out and put a set of 20s on it with my toyo open countrys. Im ordering gauges and egr delete for it today and soon is going to be airdog, front end sleeves and braces, traction bars etc. I plan on doing sled pulling this year so Im gonna be doing all the necessary mods but its a start.

My friend's LMM had the same mods as what I have except he had a lift pump and when he dyno'd it he made 470/890 IIRC. The truck is a blast to drive!
