    Turbo Vane Position code, do I get a new turbo system?

    So I have a stock, NEVER TUNED LBZ. Last time I towed the 5th wheel, I got a turbo vane position sensor code. Have not seen the code since I cleared it. Turbo, unloaded, sometimes makes a constant tone, not a whistle. If I don't plan on tuning, is there an upgrade to the existing turbo system...

    Upper dash cover replacement/paint.

    My upper dash is starting to vibrate and seems the clips are broken off from old age. Grey is on backorder for who knows how long from LMC so I want to paint a beige one grey or black. Anyone do this themselves? What products did you use? Adhesion promoter, paint, topcoat if any. Thanks!

    Fleece Trans Cooler lines O-Ring size

    I called Fleece and was told I need a fatter o-ring to stop my leaking radiator lines. Without taking this apart, I have no idea how much fatter to go. Any ideas or do I cripple my truck while I hunt for a couple of o-rings? :mad:

    Time for head gaskets???

    So I was working on the passenger side tightening up the fleece trans cooler fittings that go into the radiator and saw this: I’m guessing it’s time for head gaskets??? Shit. 175000 miles. ZERO engine mods.

    Driveline vibration while taking off.

    So we did our first trip in 3 years, and I noticed that when pulling from a stop till the 2nd gear shift, there seems to be a shaking or vibration from the driveline. I never noticed it before this trip. I haven't done much to the truck besides a set of Fleece trans cooler lines (temps never hit...

    Changing RV batteries

    So I bought a used RV a while ago, Full-Timed in it for 2+ years, then put it in storage. The batteries were already trash when I bought it and now, since it sat for about 2 years, the batteries are officially toast. I want to replace with 4x 6V 200+AH batteries. Looking at Titan or...

    Debadge disaster

    Has anyone come across this? Body molding adhesive took the paint with it? I noticed the paint cracked along the top of the molding and when I started to saw with fishing line, it got under the paint somehow. So the paint detached from the truck, not the molding.

    LBZ: ProThane Body Mounts

    So I replaced the stock, worn, body mounts with ProThane mounts and did the GMT900 rear mounts. While the "Chevy Shake" at 40-45 MPH is gone, the noise in the cab is louder, but WOW the vibrations at idle. Especially when cold. I know that polyurethane is stiffer than rubber, but is there any...

    Take-Offs

    So I'm picking up a set of 2012 Siverado 2500 wheels/tires from CL. The tires rode from the dealer, to the guy's house where he pulled them off and lifted the truck. They have been sitting ever since. Will I need new tires or am I ok using these? Thanks

    LBZ: P2610 & p2510

    These are ECM codes and seem to have cropped up after my Viper remote start/alarm fell out of sync with the factory alarm. Did the alarm fry my ECM? I am going to disconnect the batteries for an hour to see if it clears up. Any ideas?
