    LB7: lots of smoke and burning oil

    300psi is not very low, its actually the minimum compression listed by GM for the LB7 in the manual. The fact you have no variation across the cylinders is what is most important. I don't know where the Duramax usually tests for cylinder leakage, as it is generally a very tight engine in my...

    window tint - 30% on the windshield

    I pass cops because nobody else will. On freeways they never seem to blink an eye if you are 10mph over, even 15mph over they often dont bug you as long as they are sitting clocking traffic and not bored. To me going with the flow of traffic, and being comfortable for the area is more...

    window tint - 30% on the windshield

    You aren't going to see anything in the dark whether there is tint or not without some additional lighting. Thats why everyone complains about backing up, you have two little bulbs that are barely bright enough with no tint. The concern is seeing a motorist at night, and while I don't quite see...

    window tint - 30% on the windshield

    He has HID's..... He just has proper HID's from the sounds of it. Most are HID's put into stock housings. Why? Because its cheap. Not only is the housing wrong, but there is no leveling system which is required for Bi-Xenon to be legal. That way every time you go over a bump your lights dont...

    window tint - 30% on the windshield

    Our Fendt goes in for 35% all the way around soon. Looking forward to less glare and not noticing dirty windows as much as anything. It'll be nice in the sun too. The lights at night are actually too bright and glare terribly in the cab. If I like this one, probably do more. Out west its not...

    Crossfit

    I used to lift "natty's" daily in the college years lol. Ironically in those days I could've worked out at what was referred to as the "Nat". A buddy of mine's wife runs one of those gyms, I would agree with your statement.

    Since there's no response and Cancer is a "hot" topic, perhaps the decline in cancer deaths may help reinforce the point that GMO's are not directly killing us all due to cancer. The actual cancer rate number is a hard one to really make a statement on. Personally I say it has gone down because...

    What are you listening to?

    Yes he is, and not just at one style like so many of the good bassists. Les plays with any amount of strings, fretted or fretless, even upright with a bow if you want (Mr Krinkle is a popular example). All of his stuff seems to have a lot of slap/pop, flamenco strumming, tapping, and who knows...

    What are you listening to?

    I absolutely hate the house of the rising sun. I hate the cover just as much. Largely due to the fact its one of those songs our local station insists on playing every 5 minutes. Im done venting now.

    First off, I did not state or imply that you were a stereotypical uneducated person who did not do their research. I stated that the site you suggested has a lot of the same stereotypical "facts" that can be misleading. I apologize if you thought I was saying you are uneducated, I was not. I did...

    I was going to post a long response to this but then read your next comment. Not often you find someone that is not 100% in either direction when it comes to food stuff. The term "chemicals" is dumb though. Everything in our foods, bodies and lives is made up of chemicals. Most chemicals can...

    Allison 5sp: LB7 Allison tranny questions

    Thats what you will be doing, you remove the lines from the trans and flush through them, that will flush all lines and both coolers.

    LBZ: Trans build prep

    How many have you both built? I'm speaking for those who have done a lot of trans. Nothing goes smooth 100% of the time no matter how awesome you are. It can be done but I wouldn't do it. Too much room for error, good shop would just pull the trans as it does not take very much time and has...

    Broken Crankshaft Count?

    Some guys can reprogram it.

    No more fake wood.

    Thanks, limited to what I can do so I'll probably work on finishing this the next few days. Two of the lower panels are going to be tricky as the inside part of them is recessed 1/4" the entire way. I feel like I may be wasting a decent amount of vinyl figuring out how to do those properly. Not...

    Coolant flowing into crankcase

    The stains can be from combustion gases. Generally are actuall, the oil will just leave a residue but not stain it IME. Some are stained for other reasons or from previous issues as well.
