Installation Steps Living up to the brand name, EZ LYNK has made the installation process simple. We’ve broken down each step and provided some valuable information that will help you understand how your AutoAgent works.

Duramax Hydroboost Fix & Upgrade Mod Anybody with the 01-10 Duramax 2500HD or 3500HD knows the very common issue of the hydro boost going bad along with the Power Steering Pump. If left long enough it does have the potential to take out your power steering pump as well.

Some prefer the new Edge Pulsar units, and others prefer the Banks Derringer's. In this segment, we'll dive into the pros and cons of each, as well as other nonbiased opinions from other shop owners. We'll show data from the Pulsar and the Derringer from their respective companies, and then later on we'll have 3rd party shops show side-by-side comparisons on the dyno.

Next up in our Blog series is replacing leaky transmission cooler lines on our LBZ Duramax. This is a very common issue and happens because of another cheap design by GM. While you can go back with OEM lines, we highly recommend either having a local hose shop build your hoses and fittings or buying a kit like the one we'll be installing. Both Deviant Race Parts and Fleece make repair line kits. They do slightly differ as the 01-05 will be different than the 06-10 trucks.

Our next project was to install new Bushwacker rivet-style fender flares on our 2007 LBZ Duramax. We decided to run the Bushwacker 40918-02 Pocket Style Smooth Finish Fender Flares in black for some added protection from the wider wheels we're running.

Today we are going to do a review on some tow mirrors from Boost Auto. These are the running & signal 1.0 with the high beam led reverse lights. (The installation for dome or switchbacks requires a little more wiretapping). We installed these on our 2007 LBZ Duramax. Will be the same for the 2003-2007 classics. Below we went over a few tips and install notes:

We all know the 2011-2016 LML Duramax features the CP4 injection pump which was supposed to be an "upgrade" over the CP3 units on the 01-10 Duramax trucks. This is certainly the opposite as it doesn't flow as well as the CP3 and the design can cause a catastrophic fuel system failure. When it does fail, it will send metal particulates throughout the entire fuel system and destroy injectors, rails, lines, etc.

On The Fly tuning to the LMLs through the EZ Lynk and soon Efi Live. This very detailed guide is courtesy of PPEI. You can see their full line of products at PPEI Tuning from Injected Motorsports.

Have a loose feeling front end? How about premature wear on parts? In this blog post we'll discuss some fixes for that and show you a recent front end done on a 2015 2500HD LML Duramax. Now yes the 01-19 GM truck suspension is very similar with just a few small differences so while this is done on a LML its the same concept for the older trucks as well.
