    Sight in will be at Isacc Walton. For the "reach out and touch someone", we will have to see.... :D

    Any Alaska members on here?

    The thing that scares me about glow plugs is the steel plug in the aluminum head. I used a hammer impact tool in 3/8" drive to get them out. I have had bad luck with other things when using a regular socket wrench....mostly on motorcycles. The glow plugs came out well for me. I used aluminum...

    My new toy

    I have to admit, I am a Remington guy. I've owned Rugers and Winchesters and just like the Remington 700.

    My new toy

    It appears to be a fine weapon. I have yet to fire a shot. Got her at a gun show, NIB, never fired, with the mods listed minus the scope, plus a textile case. I paid retail for the gun, and saved about $300.

    Any Alaska members on here?

    There is no grid heater in the LB7, just a coil heater in the intake. Having said that, it should start at -45*F. I've done it with good glow plugs. She will not like you....It will come up on 3 cylinders and you can count they cylinders when they come up.... It sounds like you have a couple...

    3" Boost tubes

    I replaced the turbo outlet tube on Emma with a Banks unit. You can buy just the tube for somewhere around $100 plus shipping (I ordered the tube a while ago). I did not like the big 90* turn on the stock setup. I have not noticed anything performance wise from the tube (I'm running some...

    Cold weather drag racing

    If you have a clean surface, consider yourself lucky. I have run my truck (after warming the engine) at -45*F with a hot tune. The elevation was ~1600', and the truck had cold soaked all night, I had a block heater, electric battery blankets, and oil pan heaters for the engine and trans. The...

    Billet s472!

    I just LOVE my 366, and I used it for the primary on my trips when I went bigger. My 366 with Pat's tuning was an awesome towing setup. Low EGT's the whole nine yards. When I passed the guy in the Ford going up the hill he was surprised, I would have loved to see the look on his face when he...

    Lurching on right turn

    Are these hard turns where the front wheels are turned sharply, or sweeping turns at high speed like on the freeway?

    Who needs a hybrid?

    Please let me explain, this is just one man's opinion...:hug: I believe the context that I see the electric cars is different. I commute 45 miles each way to work on a freeway style road. Under normal conditions, the speed is +/- 65mph. I also live in a commuter community and see a fair...

    Invalid serial number.

    Is all of your software updated? I think you need to update to the latest version of V8, V7.5, and then use V8 to update the bootblock on the V2. . You could also ask the author of the tune for a *.tun file format versus the *.ctz file...

    Who needs a hybrid?

    I tell everyone who will listen that the turbo diesel cars are better/cheaper than those silly electric cars.... Funny thing, at my local dealership you walk in and see a new Chevy Volt. Price tag is ~$44k. Right next to the Volt is a convertible Camaro, price tag is ~$34.... I'm thinking it...

    LB7: ECM swap

    Nope, the license is keyed to the serial number of the ECM. I just went through this, after you pay for the extra license it works pretty slick!

    LBZ: improving steering

    I use a synthetic DOT3/4 made by Valvoline and get it at my local NAPA. You could always use TranSynd in your power steering.... I'm not sure that is still Kosher, but we used to use tranny fluid in the power steering systems all the time back in the day....

    LB7: No start, shaking, sounds terrible

    Michael, Did you replace the injectors when you did the build? How many miles on them? I should have asked this last night....

    NSBU Question

    Been through this with both trucks, it is most probably the cluster. There are folks out there that repair your cluster, or you can get a reman, or buy one from the dealer. The repair is the cheapest option. Make sure you record all of the data: mileage, hours. The only place the mileage...

    S366 oil drain?

    My trip kit was similar to Paint's, except I had a full 90* bend on the tube that went back to the drain hole. The hose works way better than the welded kit that originally came with my HTT kit. We had to extend the drain for the 366 because of the 2" spacer under the 366 that was required to...

    LBZ: New guy intro

    :welcome7: I have done both Banks and a Diamond Eye exhaust systems. The fit and finish was better on the Banks, but I did not want to spend the extra $$ on the throw down truck. As Janimal said, on both of my kits the last pipe could be rotated to adjust the pipe height under the quarter...
