And if you tune it you need a EGT gauge. Easy to install...
I would require adult supervision for such things. Odds are I would completely brick the truck if I started futzing with The Matrix
How many of you all have seen an electric water pump on a 2018 Toyota Camry? Had a strange code in the ECM when I scanned it. When I investigated it it said water pump issue. I checked around and Toyota and other vendors wanted over $300 for the pump including the manifold that bolts to the engine. I was able to buy just the pump with the cover online for less than half of that. Obviously not Toyota, but fairly easy to get to. Really only had to remove the alternator to get to it. It. We will see. Save my Pastor's son a lot of money..
Oh yeah, in addition, after I got it off, The impeller is stuck

Aftermarket garbage parts strike again!
Putting wiper motor/pump into this chevelle and it washed for a couple tests now nothing. Junk. Piss me off.
To top it off, mounting screws missing. Asked owner, nope never touched it. His son was screwing around with it and screws are not with the car. Its got some newer ones in it now, however they are metric.

I have heard that the coolant gets past the seals and affects the magnets for the motor......

Well it’s not like it has push buttons ya know.I would require adult supervision for such things. Odds are I would completely brick the truck if I started futzing with The Matrix
The diablo2 tuner is easy. Walks you thru entire install. And backs up original tune in case you need it in future...

Yep, if you boys had real trucks, you know the one with a RAM logo you would likely be running Bully Dog tuner. Hah! On serious note @WV64Signet selecting a tuner is actually kind of a big deal. The one you for sure don’t want is any tuner that claims to do all brands. Tuners are fundamentally brand specific (overall) to a point. lots of claims other wise but it has been my experience the Diablo run great for Fords and the Bully dog run great on Dodge. No experience on Chevy? Do they even make a Diesel pickup? Dunno?
Well, John... You know that the best drivetrain package that was considered happened to be wrapped in a package of SSSSHHHHIIIIIITE.

Hey bartender!
I have a Bully Dog for a Duramax. I think it is for 2005? I need to put it up for sale in the spring..
I had completely forgotten about that thing..
When we bought our new truck we looked at Ram, but still a 6-speed trans for the diesel and less power and torque. I went with a Ford again..............

We farmed thousands of acres and had a large fleet of vehicles. It was a literal Petri dish of equipment trials every single day. In the end we could trade power, torque, fuel mileage, quietness in cab, elegant features, all for durability and service life. Our staff would tear up fords and chevies like candy but could not destroy the Rams. Again same thing on four wheelers, and we had a bunch of them all different colors. Hands down by a large margin Honda ranchers for the win. Small tractors, Kubota are bullet proof. Large tractors green for gas mileage and yellow for pulling power. Longevity was a toss up. Please note our staff was far tougher on our equipment than any of you guys will ever be on yours. They did not check oil water or fluids on any kind of regular basis. As a result I had a staff of almost thirty full time mechanics just keeping stuff running. Yes it was/is big Ag, but man you want to test equipment hand it to a kid with zero education who can’t read the dash anyway and tell him to getRdone! He will throw it in drive and hit it!When we bought our new truck we looked at Ram, but still a 6-speed trans for the diesel and less power and torque. I went with a Ford again..............
I have had several Dodge trucks over the years as well, but since 2006 it has been Ford. My FIL was always a Chevy guy and to be honest I don't like Chevy at all. We have his 2014 2500 gasser, the wife drives it every day to work.

Tht Maxie is one sexy beast. I don't really need a Max Wedge, an 4 speed, or a Plymouth. A 64 Dodge 440 or Polara with a Poly, 361, or 383 automatic would be perfect. Please keep looking though.I like this one they have listed...missing engine shot though
