    LB7 into 8.1L swap?

    I am in desperate need of a 4 door truck, but currently own a 04 rclb Duramax. Everybody wants crazy prices for 4 door diesels around here, so picking up another 4 door diesel is out of the question right now. I can pick up fully loaded 8.1's and 6.0's with 120-170k on the clock for around...

    Making a Murderer

    I just finished watching this documentary on Netflix about the Steven Avery/ Brendan Dassey. WTF? I don't know if Netflix put this together in a defense leaning way, or if the judicial system is really that messed up in Wisconsin. It makes you wonder how much corruption is really out there...

    Trans or T-case?

    Pulled away from a stop sign and boom. Grinding in all gears. Rolls in park, but grinds going into park. No forward or reverse gears, all the gears roll like it is in neutral. My guess was either t case or a shaft. Is there a way to tell one or the other? Any guesses? This is in my...

    Man made climate change

    How many of us believe this? My own personal opinion is that we have localized man made effects on climate, but on a global scale its a crock. I believe in climate cycles for sure though. Notice it was global warming this, global warming that, then Europe had several years of cooler...

    Converter kicking out.

    Hey my converter unlocks at wot at or around 100mph. It seems to only do it in t/h mode and it also seems to do it more often if the road.....er track :D is rougher. It's not throwing any codes either. Any ideas what it could be? Shifts fine the rest of the time. It was fully built by...

    My LB7 RCLB Build

    Going to look at a truck with 04 lb7 191,000 on the ticker for a beater farm truck. I always seem to overlook things when buying a used vehicle, so I could use some help with a list of everything I should look over. Things I usually do. Check trans fluid level and color Check Balance...

    Adreanaline Dyno Shelley ID

    It's in Shelley ID. Who's all coming on Saturday? I'm going to try to make it. Since I still have no strength in my leg, I may have to use my crutches as a pedal pusher! I'll be shooting for 550ish in my lly, and 500 for my 6.7 ford.

    HSP Twin Kit From ATP Reveiw.

    I picked up a HSP Compound Kit from ATP Trucks recently, and wanted to do a quick reveiw. First off, Dustin (sickdiesel), Rob (IdahoRob) and all the guys at ATP Trucks are very helpful and always treat you fair. I'm almost impossible to please and I have done business with them on my LB7 and...

    Tapping for drain.

    Has anyone just taken off the lower pan and drilled up from the bottom? I'm having a hard time finding a right angle drill, and I don't really want to buy one. Any suggestions would help. Thanks.

    Under the knife

    New intake bridge, manifolds and up-pipes, and built trans. We'll see how long my 230,000 mile head gaskets last. I'd give it 3 days tops. If I have to open her up, I'll do a short block with rods. I'm building this to play in the stock turbo class when I dyno. I like going to the track...

    Don't judge me.

    Ok, you can judge me. I know, I know, "this is a Duramax forum!" but I'm always excited to show off new metal. I still have my 2005 duramax. Why a ford? I was looking at new trucks last year, a I knew I didn't want a new GM. I have a 2011, and absolutely hate the...

    Tractor/Equipment Tuning

    I farm for a living, and I'm fed up with all the problems our new equipment has been giving me. Out of the last 8 service calls, 7 of them have been problems with DEF. It's so aggravating to have brand new machines, that won't run because of emmisions. I don't know what software is out there...

    Using LB7 parts on LLY??

    I have Charge pipes and a Y-bridge from a 2001 lb7 just sitting around. I was wondering about swapping them onto my lly and making a custom intake right from the charger. The question is, will my stock charger without a riser clear the 01 LB7 Y bridge and leave me enough room to make a custom...

    Please Read!!!

    This is a post by flyin6 over on duramax forum. I thought it was so good that it needed to be shared: Time for a CIEMR: I think the momentum might be sufficient to get rid of the closet communist. But as with what was pointed out by a Romanian newspaper a couple years ago, having Obama in...

    Nitrous Help.

    I am thinking pretty seriously of installing a nitrous kit on my truck, but I have quite a few questions, as I know very little about it. First off, I would like to add around 100hp, and I am worried about Drive Pressures. What I was thinking of doing, would be a dual stage system, using two...

    My first day in the twelve club.

    One of my runs from weekend on the edge, (actually my slowest run of the day, but the only one that got recorded) Had a blast and ran a 12.60@106 earlier that day. I'll be shooting for 11's on nearly the same setup next year. (don't worry i have rods in waiting :) ) Don't know how to embed...
