    Hey guys, today I picked up a 2008 Silverado crew cab 4x4 3500 LMM. It was a work truck and the company took it to a shop after the low coolant light popped up. They told him they thought the passenger side head gasket was the cause and only slowly leaking externally. There is no coolant in...

    Hey guys been driving the heck out of my Lb7... I love it! Only complaint is that at around 45-55 mph there is a noticeable vibration in the steering wheel. You can feel it all over just the truck bouncing up and down real fast. Not bad but it is noticeable. How does one go about finding the...

    Thanks so much I found it. Ran the truck without the turbo boot on... It was a return line fiting... The truck is back on the road. If anyone else is considering doing their injectors, go for it. I knew nothing about diesels before this. I could now do it in half the time. Thanks so much for...

    Okay guys I'm starting to get frustrated with this truck... Got the coolant leak fixed and everything was looking good. Took it about a mile or so to the gas station checked it again... Nothing leaking. Filled up the tank and now it's leaking fuel... Only seems to do it when the truck is...

    Thanks... Tightened the fuel leak... Man that made a mess... Now have a small coolant leak somewhere around the thermostat housing. It appears to be leaking down the front of the motor and also running down the back of the motor. It started getting dark here so I called it a night. Here is my...

    Well the second try I started it and it was up at 15 and then all the way down to below 1... Must have been a fluke... I was driving it around and all was great and then I developed a fuel leak on the outer rail... Should these be tefloned? Because I did not Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Alright guys. Got the whole thing put back together today... Noticed the truck had a slight miss to it... Checked the balance rates and cylinder 2 had a +15.0... Doesn't change... Stays exactly that in park and drive. What does this mean other than me tearing it back down again? Sent from my...

    leather center jump seat

    Yes. Bolted right up... I grabbed the glove box piece but some people just cut theirs to make it work. Just pull the seats out, and the center seat comes out. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Also I had no cups pop out... Only issue I was having before is white smoke at idle... No coolant loss, no fuel in oil... Should I bother pulling the cups or leave them? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Got my drivers side out today... I've been doing a lot of reading and have found more than one person put everything back together only to have to tear it all back down for a fuel leak in one of the lines... Is there anyway I can test all of that before I put it back together? Sent from my...

    Okay guys since 6 and 8 were my worst two injectors I decided to replace my drivers side only... At least for now... This is my first time and I am doing all of the work myself... My injectors are coming in the mail tomorrow so I decided to start tearing it down. Really not a bad job at all...

    Also I am using the torque pro app... Does anyone know which numbers correlate to injectors on the truck. If you were looking at the truck from the front would they be numbered like this 7 8 5 6 3 4 1 2 Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Did I do the calculations right? Since I had a fuel rate of 5.7 I need to add 2.3 to all of my numbers. If I have a -1 it will become a +1.3? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Since my fuel flow at idle is 95.8cc/m this equals 5.7mm3 So correcting my balance rates I need to add (8-5.7mm3) 2.3 to all of my numbers. This gives me this Idle 1) +1.6 2) +2.0 3) +1.1 4) +2.5 5) +1.3 6) +6.4 7) +3.9 8) +0.2 Drive 1) +1.3 2) +1.4 3) +0.9 4) +1.9 5) +1.0 6) +7.4 7) +3.4 8)...
