    Not priming in the cold

    Okay i ended up puting diesel through the bleeder valve and quite a bit went in, after a few tries finally got it to start :woott:. I'v been letting it idle for a while, came out and it was pouring coolant out of the coolant overflow tube, backed it out of the driveway and parked it. When i went...

    Not priming in the cold

    So i left my truck sit in 5-15 degree temps for about 3 days and now i can not get it to start for the life of me. I plugged it in over night and now I'm almost certain my block heater is broken because nothing has changed, crawled under and nothing was warm, no snow melting anywhere, etc. I had...

    Lmm ps pump in lb7??

    So i thought i read of puttihg a lmm hydroboost in an lb7, but now i cant find any threads on it. Anyways i have to replace my power steering pump today and i was curious to know if i should try putting a lmm one in. I dont know if they would even bolt up or work right, or if they're even any...

    LB7: Losing fuel prime when it's hot

    I have this same issue on my 2001, and only in the heat. Most of the year here in Idaho it runs fine, but in the few summer months it starts too have issues. Takes longer to start, loping at idle, revving on it's own, etc. but give it any throttle it acts normal. Seems to be worst when i leave...

    Different Master Brake Cylinder?

    So the consensus is an lmm hydroboost will fit the older trucks and make the brakes and steering more responsive like an lmm? Would you need to get an lmm mc too to get the full effect or is just the hb enough?

    Newer instrument culster in my 2001?

    I have a 2001 duramax and the speedo on the instrument cluster only goes to 100. Since i have bigger tires i can go past that a little bit and i was curious if i could put an 03+ cluster in? Or maybe if theres a way i could put an escalde cluster in? So if anyone has ever tried it let me know.

    Low rpm power for better mpg's?

    My goal would be to accelerate around 1750ish rpms pretty good, and cruise at about 1200ish, without lugging.

    High rpm for more hp and less torque?

    High rpm for more hp and less torque?

    So about 4k max is where im at with my stock parts? I'm planning on getting bigger injectors later this summer, i forgot to mention that. i was thinking either 60's or just go all out and go for 100's, any recommendations with that in mind?

    Low rpm power for better mpg's?

    So in theory, if i can make a tune that has better low rpm power, that i can keep my rpm's down low and get better mileage, lower egt's, etc. I don't have efi yet, but im saving for it soon, and i want to learn as much as possible to try and make some of my own tunes. I want a max potential...

    High rpm for more hp and less torque?

    So i'm saving for efi live soon, and i want to tune the truck to its max potential, going to try and make some tunes myself. But my question is, is it bad to rev an a duramax, lb7 more specifically, up to 4k or even close to 5k rpm to gain more horse power with less torque? i want to save my...
