    6 gun egt questions

    I don't know which one you have, there are a few different generations of the 6-gun. My original one from 2005 seemed to be a k type thermocouple, but there was a special connector that mated the probe to the box. You should just be able to order a new probe from Banks. They may be funny if...

    new guy from Ak

    Welcome. As for tranny problems I got tired of paying for training of techs and did it myself, but I have a shop, lift, and tools. I think Burndown is in Fbx and may know locals up there who can really work on these trucks. I'm in Wasilla.

    HSP's Install Kit w/Turbo

    That is not quite true. My Banks intake worked when I installed my HTT366 as a single. I had to cut the intake horn that came with the HTT kit, but I think that was the intent with the HTT kit anyway.

    LLY: Seeking Wisdom....

    If it was an LB7 I would say injectors for sure. I have no idea on an LLY. What were the balance rates before you tore it down? In any case, your injectors on the LLY are not too hard to do later..... As far as the CP3 goes I'm wondering the same thing about mine, but I only have 250k on...

    LLY: Newb

    Welcome, I run Transynd, you can get it from your local Allison dealer... At least that is a place to start. There is also a Mobile product that is an "approved equal" by Allison for Transynd. I also run Transynd in my transfer case, but I am in a cold climate, which I think you are too with...

    Let's see your gas powered hotrods....

    Here are a couple of mine... Honda ST1300 and a Kawasaki ZX-14. My other gasser is a '70 Chevy K20 plow truck with a 4 speed and a 383 torque hound. She is really ugly, but plows snow like nobody's business; and fills the passenger seat with snow from the hole in the cab corner. It might...

    LB7: AC inop. Clutch engages, pressure stays the same

    An issue I just had with mine was the safety valve was releasing due to too much pressure. The lines were really hot on the pump discharge. The system would hold vacuum and pressure. It was only happening while idling, not running down the road. This was caused by the "cotton" coming from...

    Reputable Calgary Shops

    I'm now working in Calgary for the rest of the year, and may need to find a shop to rebuild the ally in Emma. I'm looking for someplace that does not use ATS kits. I would prefer some of Mike L's magic, but that is still too far to go. I sure wish I was home for this..... Who do you local...

    Transfer Case Explosion

    There are cheaper pump rub fixes than the one from Merchant and will work just as well. It is a steel plate that drops into the pockets the pump indexes into in the rear case half. About $30 for the shim and some silicone sealant and you are good to go. If you have it a little trans assembly...

    LB7: Lift Pump Experience??

    I have 2 setups: On BlkMax, I have a PPE with a PPE tank pickup on my LB7. The pump let me run the larger tunes, but I am not in love with the noise of the PPE. The gear pump is REALLY noisy. I also plumbed in a bypass around the pump in case of a pump failure I could still run the truck...

    hydroboost issues

    You might have an issue with the accumulator in the hydraulic side of the system. If you want better braking, replace the hoses at the same time as the flush. I put braided steel lines on and there is a NOTICEABLE difference in the feel of the pedal...

    LMM: Pistons?

    The cast pistons have a steel insert for the ring land. The forged pistons can not have the steel insert, so the rings are softer (and don't last as long in a DD theoretically). If the rings were harder, they would bash out the aluminum ring land over time in a DD. It depends on your goals...

    Question: hids

    I have HID's in every vehicle we own. I have ended up buying them on ebay for $35 for a 35w slim ballast kit. On the Silverados I do not use a relay kit, but I do install the "all on" diodes. I use relay kits for all the other vehicles, and slave in another relay to get me the "all on" when I...

    Allison 5sp: 2001 allison build questions? kit? converter? extras?

    Over the years, I have had ATS kit and a Suncoast GM5 kit. I have seen the photos of the PPE kit. DONT GO ATS!!!! I'm currently running a GM5, with other internal mods, and an ML Precision converter. The combination works great. In my opinion these are "kits" to increase the performance of...
