    LB7 drop in stock appearing turbos

    The turbo in my BURB is getting pretty loose on me with 278k miles, so I'm looking for a replacement. The Burb is pretty much only used as a backup/workhorse now with diesel prices what they are, and I prefer to drive my 2 door 2WD Tahoe if given a choice. The only mods are a set of 45 over SAC...

    Gale Banks reacts to Hoonigan 1000hp build

    Anybody else watch this? Thought it was very unprofessional of Gale to be talking about others like this. Looks to me like he has gotten high on his fame from his fakebook videos. Granted the engine had some issues and some obvious constraints because of what it's going into, but totally...

    Allison 5sp: Grey TCM plug

    Does anybody out there have, or know where to get just the grey tcm plug for the 01-05 allison TCM? I'm looking to make a bench harness to flash my spare TCM's, and all the yards by me want $35 for just the 1 plug. Getting to the TCM plugs in my BURB is a PITA with how I had to bury it in my...

    Mobil oil sale

    Mobil is doing an oil sale through the end of the year. $7 off per gallon of mobil delvac 15w40 or $10 off per gallon of 5w40 turbo diesel synthetic. The catch is it is only at certain retailers(pretty much the big parts chain stores), but rural king is one of them and has 15w40 delvac for...

    Allison 5sp: P0748

    Can somebody post up the diagnostic flow chart for p0748? My burb has been setting for a few months, get in it to drive and all is well, get it up to temp, flog it a few times, bam limp mode hits then the light. Cleared it and it was fine for a few minutes, then it would do it after it was in...

    CMM's 37 Chevy coupe

    Haven't seen anything posted up about this one. Came across it tonight looking on the book of faces. Couldn't find much on it other than these 2 articles. http://www.waglercompetition.com/2017/10/critical-mass-motorsports-screw-blown-diesel-powered-1937-chevy-coupe-pro-mod/...

    LB7: SAC 45 overs, who is running them?

    Who out there is running the 45 over SAC's in a stock LB7? Mine are biting the bullet hard AND FAST! So I'm going to have to do something here quick with them. I don't hardly drive the BURB anymore(haven't put 7K miles on it in the last year), but I took it down to the inlaws for turkey day and...

    Question for bac

    I didn't get a picture of it, but I seen the weirdest UPS truck today I've ever seen. We were leaving the inlaws this morning from turkey day, and a lifted up gas golf cart on street tires goes by pulling a trailer with racks on it and the cart loaded down with packages. I scratched my head...

    Craigslist funny

    Allison 5sp: Lockup in 2nd gear?

    Like many here, I had the dreaded no lockup until the top of 3rd, or 4th gear. Due to my swap, the only OS that plays nice is the 01 15175854 OS, and that is the OS that doesn't have the slip limit tables mapped. I've contemplated a lockup box, but it just isn't in the budget, and I don't race...

    Question: Question regarding DDS signal generator

    I'm looking at doing some gauge cluster work on my BURB, and to do what I'm looking to do I need some sort of generator to create a switched to ground signal to mimick the speedometer signal from the ECM. It would also be nice to find one that could also do the opposite and switch to 12 volts...

    A friendly warning to those with HBP.

    I'm posting this on a few forums I frequent in hopes it may save somebody from going through what I just got through with the last week. I have fairly high blood pressure, and about 11 months ago I was put on lisinopril with hydroclorothiazide 20/12.5MG 1 pill twice a day. Thanksgiving...

    LB7: temp gauge sensor install?

    When I did my swap, I neglected to install the coolant temp gauge sender into the block(one of the many oversights when I did my swap), so I installed it in a T in the heater hose line coming out of the t-stat housing. This has worked fine for all these years, but I have decided I want to...

    LLY: Where to get a turbo?

    I'm trying to help a friend out who has an 05 3500 he uses for hot shot hauling. He called me up and said he had a P0046 code, brought it over, scanned it, and there was also a P2536 code stored in the ECM as well. I told him he should probably look for a turbo because it has about 30-40...

    LLY: LLY max pulsewidth?

    What is considered by most to be considered the max pulsewidth at 160MPA and a 50-55% timing to put through a stock LLY with a stock trans before you limp it? I know on LB7's I consider 1850 to be the max as I have had a good split of some holding it and others not, just curious what others...

    Question: Smoke tunes?

    Why do people find smoke so interesting? I will be the first to admit that when I first got a diesel I thought it was cool, but I honestly do not know why. I'm doing a tune for somebody right now, and you would think I kicked him in the nards when I refused to build him a smoke tune for one...

    Info: How strong is a 1410 u-joint?

    Well I found out they are stronger than a 3 1/2" .086 steel driveshaft. When I took my truck to the track last year, I launched it one time at 10 pounds of boost and left with all 4 spinning. Ever since I have had a leak at the transfer case output seal. I replaced the seal, and the leak didn't...

    Allison 5sp: thin C2's

    Where can I buy thin C2 steels WITHOUT the kolene coating on them? I'm not a fan of the kolene coated steels. My C2 drum looked great after 25K miles with the stock steels before and 7 alto clutches. I added i nthe wave plate to help smooth out my 3-4 shift and went to the kolene steels and now...

    Allison 5sp: Head scrathcer of the day

    My BURB's tranny has been working great until yesterday. Out of the blue it started flaring the 1-2 shift SEVERELY! When it goes to shift it would feel like it would hit neutral with no defuel, then bind, and slam into 2nd. Checked it for codes and found none, fluid level is dead on, fuel filter...
