There is some great reading on The diesel gargage forum. Click on 2005 LLY over heat problrms, then go to Main sorce of LLY heat. It is a great read for any of us with a diesel truck, especially those with a 2005 DMAX. Try it Glenn. Let us know what you think.

The LLY engines are overheaters. No if, ands, or buts. I have never overheated mine, but I believe they will overheat. I am disappointed GM never acknowledged this fact. Given the right circumstances, any of them will overheat. The race for horsepower and torque simply left the cooling system no match for the heat the engine produced. If I were traveling a lot, I would have to add the extra cooling provided by the V2 cooling system. But, IIRC the site you mention is where KB hangs out; I would be cautious about his cures for overheating LLY engines.
