    How are the LML's holding up?

    No way I'd buy an LBZ, especially someone looking for a nice truck. The LBZ is a great motor, but peoples LBZ bonors are too big. You can buy LMMs cheaper some days. LML's are more, but if you ever plan to tow anything more than a push mower the new chassis is worth the investment. Ours have...

    Engine Turning Tool?

    If he's like the rest of us hes probably got junk duramax starters everywhere. About the only thing the replacements are good for is door stops.

    pretty much lost

    If you get Bosch ones from Bosch shops they are Bosch. They will say Bosch on them box and have a Bosch number not a GM duramax number. They usually are much more money as well. Pensacola ships/shipped their injectors with Dipaco seal kits as well. Bosch and GM both supply copper and both o...

    Piston top ring position

    Using triangle that points to valley as the 12'o clock point. 1st Compression: Halfway between 12 and 3. 2nd Compression: 180* of 1st ring, halfway between 6 and 9. Make sure 2N faces up. Gap on inner piece of oil control ring, halfway between 9 and 12. Gap on outer piece of oil control...

    How are the LML's holding up?

    I haven't followed the CP4 saga lately. AFAIK there wasn't much to change in the pumps, they are just sensitive to poor fuel, especially water. 12k is what you hear out of the Ford camp as well. Kind of makes sense since the fuel system is the same but I figured the ford would have more labor...

    Engine Turning Tool?

    I'm guessing by no access to crank bolt you mean no way to physically get on it due to something in the way, not that you simply dont have one. Is there anything else belt driven off the front you could turn? I use the alternator to turn every truck over but since you don't have one maybe you...

    pretty much lost

    GM's are no longer done by a true Bosch reman facility. Who does them now I dont know, dont care either because they still work great. The 6.4 oil issues are a bit different, while fuel dilution is fuel dilution, there is a lot more soot at work in the oil of one of those than an LB7. The...

    pretty much lost

    Not saying its right, but I know of many trucks that are running great after thousands of miles of diesel for oil. It's still an oil in a way. I'm not suggesting you can leave the issue for months, but you don't need to shut it down on the side of the road and call a tow truck either. Its not...

    Will not move after rebuild

    No pressure on the test port? That won't be converter related. Converter is mechanically driving pump off the motor. Think of it essentially as a shaft because it's the outer hub that drives the pump and is fused to the cover that is bolted to flywheel. As long as motor is turning pump is...

    Show off your new tools!!!

    I use a regular PP3. I used to use it all the time but now that I got a nice Fluke 88V I find myself using that for everything at first then breaking out the power probe as needed. I got a set of load pro leads which are nice for doing voltage drop tests on wires fast. Sent from my SCH-R970...

    Egr delete question

    You wont have issues if you delete the EGR but do not tune the truck. Like Josh said you will simply have to stare at the CEL all the time. The issue with this is you will end up not knowing when a more important code comes up. You can probably sell you economind on CL or eBay. You do not need...

    LB7 crank

    Don't hear it often but if you do the LB7 crank seems to be preferred for whatever reason, along with the LBZ block and LB7/LLY pistons with LBZ rods. If you are looking to mix and match stock parts.

    Transmission leak

    Here's one like it. Thought mine was a lisle but cant find it on their site now. No model or anything on mine. 4 prong though, 2 3/8" Outside. The inside diameter needs to be big too. Mines heavy at the drive end, I use an impact. Torque is 91ft-lb ish...

    pretty much lost

    See Quote from earlier... Replacing parts for no reason is worse than buying cheaper parts and having them fail. Run some diagnostics first and then decide what to do. Odds of it being electrical are slim to none, that doesn't mean replace everything though. Did you see what the companies...

    LB7 crank

    Easiest to just find an LMM crank. Not that expensive. Then get it checked for straightness and fluxed. Key it and install.

    2wd?

    Interesting. Kind of like a semi hitch for pulling (except the big boys, changed them and now they dont twist the frame wheelstanding as much anymore) Big turbo would be tricky, part of the art of 2wd pulling is feathering the throttle right out of the hole. Main reason turbocharged alky's...
