    LLY Ficm

    I sent mine to SIA. They sent it back and said it was too far gone. My dad wanted it, so I sent it to him. He said the area under the big caps was burned, and it looked like the capacitors didn't fail; it looked like the traces under them broke off the board causing high current/heat and burned...

    SIA told me it was beyond repair. What could cause the ficm to fail? I have a hard time believing this is bad luck. I suppose its possible, but my concern is that the truck will burn up another $2k part.

    LLY Ficm

    I've got a 04.5 LLY with a bad FICM. A shop replaced the original one in 2018 when it would occasionally die. They kept my old one. It didn't bother me at the time, but I wish I had it now. I hardly drive this truck, so it probably has around 5-10k miles since that repair. In June, the truck...

    I'm curious. What did you end up going with and what was the outcome?

    LLY: Surging idle, loud

    I just replaced the fpr in my LLY. Not a bad job, but the torx bolts holding it in are a pain without the right tool. A regular socket will not work.

    curious about oil feed lines

    Is the LB7 turbo oil feed line the same as the LLY?

    what is this connector?

    Maybe it is. Where is the other end of that connector? I don't see anything else disconnected and its only long enough to reach the ac compressor

    what is this connector?

    I'm trying to button up my lly. I pulled the turbo to seal the drain and replaced my fpr. For the life of me I can't remember when I disconnected this or where it goes sucks getting old thanks in advance guys!

    not sure I'll even do that. I may wrap the pipes before I put them back on, though.

    In that case, I'm trashing mine, too. Thanks.

    Do I really need them? Haha! I'm pulling my turbo to fix an oil leak. After taking those damn things off, I'm curious if I really need to put them back on. I'd rather not...

    After some investigating, I found the source of the oil to be the turbo. Looks like its the drain after all. I think I'm going to tackle this one myself.

    I'm not sure if the turbo has ever been off. I bought the truck last summer and only put about 8k miles on it since. I'm going to have a look and see if I can't find the source. Otherwise, I guess I'll be making a road trip. Thanks for the suggestions!

    Hi, folks. My truck is leaking quite a bit of oil. I'm not quite sure where it's coming from, but it's coming down the passenger side of the bell housing. Anyway, I don't think this is something I want to tackle myself, so I'd like some recommendations for a reputable shop/mechanic to do the...
