Anybody seen this video????

I just came across this video on streetfire.....I realize that lly's overheat, but I never dreamed it would be this bad. Not to count this idiot behind the wheel not stopping and at least doing something about it, or even letting the truck cool off. I just cant believe that someone would keep driving arrogantly just to prove a point.

And the idiot wonders why it went into limp mode.....http://videos.streetfire.net/categor...af013f4333.htm

WOW Not good

dmaxvaz · 01-15-2007, 12:38 AM

you guys look at the dash in the video- it says 70 mph and 3000rpm, smart ***** is towing in 4th instead of overdrive that could be a problem if you're towing near redline for a while in hot weather?

TheBac · 01-15-2007, 01:22 AM

Thats the infamous "Overheat video". I'm not exactly sure what the outcome of TxC's suit against GM was, even with that video.

heavypulling · 01-15-2007, 06:25 AM

so is it just the lly that overheats like that, because the lumber yard were i use to work we would pull well over 26,000 with the lb7 and they never overheated, and thats in 90 degree wheather. we had a 2005 powerstroke that had 4 turbos go out but that is why i wouldn't get a new powerstroke.

dmaxvaz · 01-15-2007, 03:04 PM

yeah some lly s do, knock on wood; my 2 lb7s have not overheated yet, and i have towed in 90* weather with no problems.

Brandon@Elite · 01-15-2007, 03:41 PM

So far I haven't had issues (knock on wood). I towed a ford dually to a few sled pulls on some HOT days this summer, but no problems:shrug:. If (when?) I start having issues I'm going to killerbee, I like his stuff.

TheBac · 01-15-2007, 05:35 PM

Yeah, its only the LLY's that seem to have a problem. I am not sure of the percentage, though.

Killerbee knows infinitely more about this subject than I do, though.

A member of the Diesel Place posted Chris was awarded $30,000 and kept the truck, and that the case was tried on the basis that the truck's performance did not meet GM's claimed performance.

Chris developed and sells an auxiliary radiator for the Duramax, the Rad Mod V2.

I beleive the point Chris is trying to demonstrate is that an LLY-equipped truck will not tow the manufacturer's claimed maximum load at legal speed limits under certain conditions.

Some owners expect the truck should do so under any condition. Others, myself included, don't.
