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. :nunu: And the idiot wonders why it went into limp mode.....http://videos.streetfire.net/category/Trucks^^Offroad/1/b108e8c2-25df-4054-8090-98af013f4333.htm

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

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.
