    2020 Oil Cooler Retrofit Kits (01-19)

    Decent price on a complete kit. I'll be in touch as soon as I get about 5 boxes of aftermarket goodies installed on my '06 first!

    Trans tune vs shift kit

    I've got 16yrs of ownership between two LB7's and recently purchased a stock '06 LBZ with 140k. I just installed a Dmaxtuner.com 5 tune package and am now looking at some transmission upgrades. Use is a highway commuter for one more yr until I retire and then it will be my grocery getter and...

    Rolling up on 50K on my Mike's rebuild

    Make an appointment, drive over, drop the truck off with him, walk 3 blocks to the Crown Plaza hotel which is a great hotel with reasonable prices, walk back the next morning and you're done!

    Rolling up on 50K on my Mike's rebuild

    Just looked at the "clock" this morning and realized it was going on 3yrs and 45k miles ago that I had Mike do a rebuild on my '01 tranny. Truck is my daily driver on a 50 mile round trip commute (I also have a '99 S10 4 banger at my disposal but since both get me 22mpg on the highway, I'd...

    LB7: need lb7 precision ml converter

    I set net out of Kenai. Kind of a "gentlemen's" fishery compared to what you guys go through in the bay. If I could go back a few years, I'd have certainly have bought into BB instead of the politically charged Kenai fishery! Are you drifting or setnetting? www.alldrinsalmon.com

    LB7: need lb7 precision ml converter

    I'm shipping a pallet load of commercial fishing gear from northern CA to Kenai in March and I'll be up early April to unpack the crate. I'd certainly have room for a convertor or two if needed.

    filtration and lift pump?

    I recently purchased but have yet to install an Aeromotive pump assembly. I bought the pump (regulated at 5-6psi), pump relay kit with oil pressure switch and misc brass fittings for around 250.00. Hope to get it installed this weekend. I just couldn't pony up the $$$$ needed to get the turn key...

    which lift pump is right for me?

    I just received my Aeromotive from Summit Racing yesterday. Self regulated at 7 psi. I'm going to install with OPS switch and by pass so I can still drive the truck if the pump fails. You might look into this option as its a bit cheaper than the more popular Dmax pumps.

    FNG from NorCal

    Welcome from Chico CA! On everyone of my trucks I pull the radiator/intercooler out and thoroughly clean the remaining coils (A/C, misc coolers such as PS) with both air and water spray nozzle. For the actual radiator and intercooler, I lay them on saw horses and clean with the air hose, then...

    Mike L to the rescue, again!

    I bought my truck about 14 months ago and I've never been able to run it hard do to funky shifting. I had Mike do a stage III rebuild last winter but it still shifted hard. I upgraded ECM/TCM, did a continuity test on the external harness, replaced the internal harness, ohmed the solenoids and...

    Allison 5sp: 3-4 shift harsh sometimes

    Yes, switching out a valve body would be no problem. That doesn't scare me but digging into the tranny like Thefermanator had to do is beyond me. How do I go about purchasing a valve body? Is that a dealer item or aftermarket? thanks Mike! Lance

    Allison 5sp: 3-4 shift harsh sometimes

    Wow! Is this just a fluke with your tranny or the 01's in general? I have an 01 that had a rough 3-4 shift, had it rebuilt by Mike and it now has a 2-3 hard flare. I've checked the external wiring harness continuity, replaced ECM/TCM with SoCal units, replaced internal wiring harness as it was...

    Steering Colum gauge mount?

    You might try a visual check with your eyes before deciding where to mount the gauges. Being 47 yrs old with bi focals, I can focus much easier going from glancing at A pillar gauges back to the roadway as opposed to looking down towards the top of my steering column and then back to the...

    really hard 3rd to 4th upshift

    Chevy1925, is all still well with your shifting? I have a similar problem/gremlin that I'm chasing on my '01 after a rebuild and updated TCM. I've got to shoot some codes regarding solenoids A & B to Mike L after work today to see if he can offer any suggestions. I agree with all you've said...

    Mike .L stage iv on the road!

    Sounds like you did the rebuild yourself? If so, tell us about it! How many hours on the actual rebuilding? Did you purchase any tools to make it easier? Other than the actual rebuild kit components, did you replace anything else in terms of bushings/bearings etc? Anything you'd do differently...
