    Question: Keep my truck or go new?

    If it were me, I would just keep your LLY and be happy with the results. You didn't say how it was tuned, but with the transmission already done, you should have a truck that scoots. You didn't say the mileage, my DD Emma has 330K miles on it now, and I am looking forward to driving her to...

    Cups

    ^^ x2 When I have studded heads in the truck, I used a zip tie to hold the stud Burn in talking about in place while setting the head.

    Banks vs BD intercooler

    I have had a BD in Black Max for years, but if I had it to do over, I would buy the Banks. At the time I was trying to save a couple hundred bucks, that I realize now was not worth the effort.

    Stalls when engine warms up

    Check the codes, it may be throwing codes which do not show a MIL.

    Floor-It Pump Help

    Thank you Josh. I was pretty sure it would work, but wanted some other opinions.

    Floor-It Pump Help

    Here are some picts. It looks like a Dmax CP3, all of the connections are in the correct location. The shaft end is what was making me question what was going on. I'm tempted to put an LBZ FPR on it and just run it.

    Floor-It Pump Help

    I have a NIB Floor-It pump I bought years ago from someone no longer here and set on a shelf. I got it out last night because I was planning on using it in a build to save some $$. It was supposed to be John's Stage 3 pump, which should make it similar to a current 10mm stroker CP3. Here is...

    9/11 never forget

    Most folks here did not know about the first impact because of time zones, it was 04:48 ADT. We woke up to the fires in the North Tower and the second impact. It seemed like time stopped that day and all we could do was watch what was happening on the television. Prayers and thank you to...

    Lb7 low oil pressure at running temp

    This probably going to cause a $hit storm...... I purchased Emma with about 180K miles. She had low oil pressure when warm at idle. I changed the oil to what I have used for ever... Rotella T6 15w-40 full synthetic. From that oil change on, I have never had a low oil pressure problem...

    Oil leak

    On the LB7, there is a PCV vent on the right front of the engine (open pipe next to the balancer). Too much blow by and you may get oil coming from the drain.

    Info: Is the mileage stored in the cluster on 06 and older trucks?

    It is only in the cluster. I have had 3 clusters repaired due to bad solder joints, the repair folks can reset the mileage with a bench flash.

    LLY: Need NEW Batteries.....Is Interstate any good...??

    I have had pretty good luck with the batteries from Batteries Plus, both the Duracell and the x2Power Premium AGM batteries.

    New LLY

    I concur. I finally did the trans on Emma at 260k miles, but it should have been done right after I bought her at 198k and installed EFILive with a mild tune and limped it right away. You can either baby it along and hope it doesn't die in the woods or pay to play with non-stock HP levels and...

    LMM: best place for drive pressure gauge

    I have used a tap in the manifold, and a tap on my ProFab uppies. I like the tapped manifold better. Use the Banks instructions for an LB7 Six Gun tuner EGT probe for a good location (it works on either side of the engine, but the passenger side is easier to get to). I use a mechanical oil...

    Considering DD'ing 350k mile LB7?

    Emma has about 325k miles, I have been running her as a DD since I bought her used at 180k. My commute is 100 miles on the nose each day. 3 days after I bought her, she was tuned with about a +140 tune, and I have never looked back and just gone up in the tuning from there.... Over the years...
