Building an '08 LMM Duramax



 Lmm Duramax Upgrades Weld Exhaust
The exhaust tips were welded on after some careful eyeballing. The most important part of this step was ensuring the pipes would be the same height and length, so a sense of symmetry could be maintained.
 Lmm Duramax Upgrades Stock Intake
The stock intake looked like some type of school science project. In this case, we figured that simple is better and installed a higher flowing Banks intake.
 Lmm Duramax Upgrades Lower Intake Box
The installation is straightforward, with the lower intake box going in first.
 Lmm Duramax Upgrades Upper Intake Tube
Followed by the upper section, which is attached to the included air filter.
 Lmm Duramax Upgrades Intake Assembly Complete
Finally, the entire assembly is connected to the turbocharger.
 Lmm Duramax Upgrades Programmer Wiring
The programmer was last, and is a simple plug-in design.
 Lmm Duramax Upgrades Harness Plugs
The plugs were color-coded and fit right into the stock harness, so this part of the installation just took a few seconds.
 Lmm Duramax Upgrades Mount Programmer
The Banks module was then mounted on the inside of the fender, minus a few wires that were routed into the cab for the PDA feature.
 Lmm Duramax Upgrades Obd Connection
The programmer was then plugged into the truck's OBD-II port while a smaller connection cable was run up to the PDA, which is then mounted on the dash.

 Lmm Duramax Upgrades Pda Monitor

The PDA feature is an extremely useful addition to this buildup. It doubles as the truck's gauges, and can be set up to monitor boost, transmission temperatures, and more. It also has an EGT-limiting feature to save your engine from damage, and can also flash various warning lights if the computer sees information that isn't the norm. Also, it can work as a normal handheld device when the truck is not in use. While the Six-Gun is available with or without the PDA, we'd highly recommend ordering it.
