FAQ
Will this fit all 2001–2016 Duramax engines?
Yes—LB7, LLY, LBZ, LMM, and LML are covered. Verify you need the .25 mm undersize and that your rods are marked “A”.
Is this sold individually or as a set?
Sold individually (one position). A V8 requires eight rod positions—match A/B shells per rod.
What’s the companion B-shell?
Use the MAHLE CB-1805P in the matching size for rods stamped “B”.
