    Cadillac Valve & TDM Keeps Burning Out

    Oh, you mean it’s operating as designed…I have had Diesel engine trucks all my life, my 2020 Duramax runs 220 all day under any load. You need to learn how diesel engines work before you and anyone decide to try and make them run at 180 operating temp.

    Cadillac Valve & TDM Keeps Burning Out

    stay away from electric fans…it’s been proven for 20yrs they do not work on this truck. I lost count on the number of trucks I’ve removed these stupid cooling fans guys stick on the radiator stack, they block airflow, the best fan is the OEM fan.
