LBZ: Engine Knock, need help!
A friends LBZ started knocking today (2006 with about 260K miles). He was driving it easy and started making noise and idling really rough and shaking the engine. It is putting out some black smoke at idle, and anytime you lean on the throttle to mildly accelerate. He stabbed it one time and... -

Fuel rail pressure low
Thank you, I need to order some new filters anyway for stock. I'll be getting the 416-1225. :D:D -
Fuel rail pressure low
I like the Kennedy Diesel single centrifugal pump for stock and mild tune trucks, and the twin pumps for trucks with more mods. They are quiet and work. The price for the single pump only kit is <$400. Here is my Kennedy twin pump on Emma; it is not the Kennedy install kit... Burn should... -
Stone Cold after cooling flush and Tstats
X2 What Dave said.... I deal with stats in low temps all the time. If you are not seeing 180*+/- on a real temp gauge, those stats are open. In colder climates the cooling system is just too good without a big load on the truck (even with the winter fronts bumper and grill covers)...- BlkMax

Need to buy new tires
I have used Cooper AT/AT3's for years for summer, and Cooper Discoverer ST's studded and siped for winter. My last set of winters were Discoverer ST Maxx, still running those and love them. They run quiet for the tread type and I am also considering running the ST Maxx without studs for the...- BlkMax

Dash went blank
The gauge cluster can get corrosion on the boards. I have personally had 3 clusters go bad, and helped other friends get theirs repaired. You can get them fixed for <$200 from numerous eBay folks. I would take the cluster out, send it to the repair shop and drive the truck without the cluster...- BlkMax

LMM: No start
Have you verified that all the ground wires on the block are tight? Just a thought..... -
LML If I change oil and filters, how do I re-set the computer ?
It depends on the year of the truck. You can also find that in the owners manual. Fill out your signature so we know what you are working on.- BlkMax

New forum member and new LLY Owner have some questions
That is what I was thinking, but I only deal with fixed geometry turbos. :D:D -
New forum member and new LLY Owner have some questions
Welcome!! :thumb::thumb: As for the hesitation and black smoking...anything I say is speculation. Do you have access to a code reader? If so, let us know if there are any codes. That is where I always start with something like this. You can have codes in the computer which will not light... -
Rear main tool
Keep in mind, the flexplate can't just be popped off to take a close look at the rear main seal without buying new torque to yield bolts or some ARP's. To get either the stockers or the ARP's tight will require the flexplate holding tool which goes through the starter hole and indexes in the...- BlkMax

2" OBD2 Gauge... what are you using?
This is what I have in both trucks (the pair, not the single gauges): https://www.aeroforcetech.com/products_interceptor.html Not a cheap solution, but each gauge has 2 analog inputs in addition to the ODBII parameters. Only downside is that I lose the ODBII gauges when I plug in to log...- BlkMax
