Insuring a ’24 Duramax lasts

Jeffery Wilden just bought a 2024 Chevy Silverado and wants to take care of his investment. Part of that is knowing more than what his dashboard tells him. “GM does a great job of putting general data important to diesel owners on these modern trucks. They’re happy to tell you your DEF level, but they won’t tell me if the DPF is regen. You don’t know how close you are, which can change your trip. You don’t know if you need to plan on leaving the truck running or not. Now, with the iDash, I have that info at a glance. Also, seeing all my temperatures is super important, especially if I’m towing something heavy.”

“Banks makes it super easy to configure the iDash. All I had to do was to tell it that I had a 6.6L Duramax, and it automatically filled out all of the fields, and it was off to the races. I’m going to set up alarms for the info that I want to know, and I’ve already set up pages to have different groups of information. I have a temperature page, an emissions page, and a general info page. And I’ve also set up colors to match my dash. And I don’t think anyone should buy the iDash without the Stealth Pod. The line of sight is perfect, and the installation is easy since the tools are provided by Banks. I had watched various videos on YouTube and knew what to expect, and the Banks video showed the little nuances that made a big difference.”

“I also have the MAP Sensor Relocation Kit. I was looking around the internet to see what would be the first thing to go wrong with my truck, and just about everything I read was ultimately connected to the MAP sensor. The advice was to buy some cleaner and a Banks Relocation Kit, and I said ‘DONE!’ My truck has around 600 miles, and when I took out the MAP, it was already dirty! You could see the soot. It was like how someone’s head looks like when they get hit with a pie—the blue sensor was dirty on the front side, and clean on the back. It was amazing! I can only imagine how it’d look with 40 or 50K miles. Ultimately, the Banks part is going to save me a lot of headaches.”
