    Dropped with traction bars

    I just picked up an '04 ECSB LB7 for my bride of 23 years. For a lot of reasons we needed another vehicle. The problem is that she is short.... 5'1" and wants to be able to get in and out easier. I have been looking at the DJM 3/5 kit, as an alternative to running boards or smaller diameter...

    shocks? djm 3/5

    DJM lists a set of shocks for their kits. Go to the site. I think any of the stock length shocks will be too long for the lowered kit.

    LBZ: 2000f egt!!!

    Bad probe, check the tip. Funny though...my passenger side reads lower than the driver side by about 200*F. :dontknow: Go figure, it must be a probe thing in the BD manifold, I think the probe may not be in the center of the flow path.

    LBZ: Isspro EV2 vs PPE gauges

    I have an Aeroforce dual gauge kit and it is really nice for a lot of things. Most of what is monitored by the ECU can be displayed on gauge. Each gauge has 2 lines, so with 2 gauges you have 4 selectable displays. Each gauge also has 2 analog inputs (0-5v). You have to buy a converter box...

    Low coolant level warning

    X2^^^^ I replaced the coolant tank with another one from the kit, and then jumped the sensor plug when I added my trips. This was on an LB7, I do not know about any of the other engine models.

    trans temps cooling

    I never saw the drop in temps with the deep pan. I ran the deep pan for a month prior to installing the MikeL cooler. At the time I was running an ATS trans that REALLY made heat. What I did notice was the temps came up slower because I had more oil volume. More oil means more mass in the...

    Need Feed back about the BANKS products

    My Banks delivered on mileage. It was not as good as EFILive, but I had changed my truck significantly, and that is why I took the Banks off. I added the HTT and a mod CP3. The Banks could not tune the new hardware (get the most out of it). They do work great for a stock turbo. Banks will...

    HID headlight help?

    I have been running HID's in low/high/fog for years with the "all on" mod. I had been running high output incandescent/halogen/what ever high wattage bulbs. I had a 45 mile commute each way in the dark, and I would go through 2 sets of incandescent bulbs a winter. I got tired of paying the $$...

    LBZ: Daytime driving lights

    I used the same bulb as the turn signal. You have to keep an eye on the socket, because the will start to degrade over time because of the heat from the new bulb....I have not changed the socket yet, and I have been running the turn signal bulbs for about 6 years.

    Current fuel Prices

    Bummer, and that is the only place to get fuel..... :(

    Need Feed back about the BANKS products

    Towing a 6500# Airstream was no problems for my six-gun PDA on level 5, but the slide in camper did me in on the trans. It is kind of cool the way Banks will defuel on transmission slippage, but it can fool someone who does not know what is happening with the Allison. My Banks was connected...

    Current fuel Prices

    $4.47 in downtown Wasilla, AK :mad: It's not so bad...during summer 2008, the company was paying $5.50 to put #2 in my truck in Tok, Alaska. Hopefully it will not come to THAT again. The worst fill up of my life was $165.XX for a tank of fuel.

    Need Feed back about the BANKS products

    That is not quite true....Banks allows some amount of power adder and will still protect some of the parts-make sure to install the EGT with the speedloader. If you twist it all the way up, it will hurt the trans. I agree that EFI is the best way to go (and would be my recommendation), but it...

    LMM: Another build thread, advice?

    I had a chat with Guy, and I think I am going with the Mahl forged. I don't really think I will get another 160k out of a built motor...:eek: I'm guessing that something will happen that requires a refresh, so why buy an endurance piston when you will never get the longevity? I'm leaning...

    S366 or twins

    WAY more than I would want to push the stock bottom end if you run dual CP3's or a stroker single. You will run out of rail pressure before you run out of what the stock sticks will be capable of HP wise. Trent's website says that an s366 will make around 650-700 depending on whether you are...

    trans temps cooling

    Don't do it!!! It was a complete waste of money for me. Just makes changing the tranny oil more expensive (not including the cost of the pan). Get a MikeL cooler. I can tell you that those work for sure.:woott::woott:
