    My Duramax Build

    Ended up driving my truck for a few days this week. Of coarse I was driving with a heavy foot. Had some tire slip thru 1/2/3, I let out around 2300 rpm to stop spinning and get back on it. Then I get back in it and it held 3rd gear till 4k and I got out and right back in it again then it went...

    My Duramax Build

    Well now I get to let my truck sit for a little bit while I save up money for injectors and a cp3. I must have lost 1 or 2 injectors on the way home. I was pretty impressed with it haha it will sit there at idle and puke out thick grey and black smoke. If I let it idle too long it looks like I'm...

    Thank you!

    I ordered a set of injectors for my brothers LB7 from Brent this morning. Just wanted to thank you for the extra time you took answering my questions I had about my truck! I will be ordering from you when I do the fuel system in my truck! Now I just gotta get home and find the motivation to do...

    My Duramax Build

    I checked both sides over really good and it looks like I only have a rub in one spot. I would like to order new AFE tubes for both sides but funds are short. I'm going to header wrap the new ones when I get them to help prevent any future problems.

    My Duramax Build

    I got my new parts on Saturday and didn't get to work on it till later that day. Sunday I picked up a new set of motor mounts and figured after a little research that it wouldn't hurt to drill, install 1/2 grd 8 bolt, and tack the nut to make them hold up better. After the mounts were installed...

    My Duramax Build

    Haven't drove the truck much in the last few weeks after I found the lower ball joints to be REALLY bad. On top of that I found the cause of the noise and terrible vibration when using 4wd. Drained some oil out of the front diff and it was full of metal. I finally talked a friend of mine out of...

    My Duramax Build

    Ordered some drop shackles and got them installed last weekend. backed to bolts out of the front almost all the way. If I would have taken them all the way out it would have had too much of a rake to it. I think the way it sits right now will be perfect for when I end up towing. I had to cut a...

    My Duramax Build

    The MAF is stuck right into the rubber 90° on the intake. I used 2 machine screws and nuts then I kinda crimped the threads so the nuts wouldn't fall off into the intake. I sealed the MAF with I light amount of silicone. The converter is Goerend "T" fully billet. Sent from my SM-G930V using...

    My Duramax Build

    That is definitely on my list to do. I thought I had enough wrap but I ended up being short so I didn't wrap either one. I'll be ordering more shortly. Sent from my SM-G930V using Tapatalk

    My Duramax Build

    Forgot to post pics of the coolant tank I made. It's not the best looking tank but it serves its purpose and it holds a lot of coolant too. Sent from my SM-G930V using Tapatalk

    My Duramax Build

    I got the truck aligned yesterday and finished up all the little things on it. I'm 220 miles into my 660 mile trip and I couldn't be happier with how it is to drive . I found 4 really good condition door panels for the truck and all the vapor barriers for $250. I don't know if that is a good...

    My Duramax Build

    This is all they had when I picked up the parts. I have put 5 u joints on the rear drive shaft of this truck since I got it. I suspect that my drive shaft is out of balance just enough to kill my u joints but not feel it down the road. Next time one goes bad I will have the driveline shop in...

    My Duramax Build

    Got some new front end parts for it since it has never been right after I bent one of the inner tie rods. Found a bad u-joint so I picked up these skf brute force u joints that don't have a grease zirc in the cross of the u joint, instead it's in one of the caps. Sent from my SM-G930V using...

    Blown head gaskets???

    It was the t stats. Thanks a bunch for the quick responses! When it's -20 it doesn't take much to get cold fast! Sent from my SM-G930V using Tapatalk

    Blown head gaskets???

    It's pretty hard to do that with my tank setup. I haven't posted pictures of my tank yet. I'm picking up thermostats for it now. So I'll give an update later today. Sent from my SM-G930V using Tapatalk

    Blown head gaskets???

    The gauge says it's running at 200 but. When I stop it kind of goes up close to 210 then drops a little bit below 200 again. I don't have a monitor so I don't know how accurate my dash gauge really is Sent from my SM-G930V using Tapatalk

    Blown head gaskets???

    I bled the are with the bleed screw on top of the thermostat housing after it warmed up. And I left the cap off while it got up to temp. I will throw a set of thermostats in it today. It has been about 2 years since I replaced them Sent from my SM-G930V using Tapatalk

    Blown head gaskets???

    Hey guys, I've been having a little bit of trouble with my truck. I drove it back from Minnesota and I noticed right away that the heater was not working when I was warming up the truck. I figured that it just had air in the cooling system because of my very poorly made coolant tank. checked...
