    Runs like it has a dead cylinder!

    Does it come back up after the engine warms up? I have had similar issues with cold starting, white smoke, rough idle, etc. I had some bad glow plugs. There were no codes because it is a federal emissions truck and the only time it will throw a glow plug code is when the relay is bad. There...

    Question: LB7 Turbo

    You can be at 500 HP with a stock turbo and the correct tuning. As for aftermarket, I LOVE my HTT66/71/16 ss. Others will have other suggestions, but I have played and worked this turbo, and it is fantastic. It has always spooled fast for me, but I put on the up-pipes at the same time I...

    HELP...how to deal with insurance???

    Bummer:( I've been through a few of these.... If there was no collision, then it is covered under comprehensive. Your deductible should be the $500.00. You can always negotiate....the insurance companies are in business to make money, not be a charity (and they do pretty well most of the...

    Question: LMM transfer case in LB7

    My question is why?:confused: If you are only worried about the pump rub, that is fixed for less than $100 (including the pump rub plate, gasket, seal, and silicone)? It is not that hard if nothing else is wrong with the case. It seems to be more work to fit in the newer case than to just fix...

    Question: Banks Ottomind?

    I had a six-gun at one one time, and the Ottomind is the baby brother for the six-gun. It's for guys who are not sure they want to walk out on the porch, let alone stay on it. :roflmao: It is probably hard to hurt your truck with one of those... I know the six-gun left a LOT on the table...

    DD/puller turbo

    If you are not ready to do a rebuild yet, you might be a little leery of the s475. An HTT366 with fueling can bend rods. Just a thought....

    Water to air i.c. D.d. Possible?

    I have seen it done, but not on a D'max for a DD. A buddy of mine has a WRX with an air to water CAC. I think it could be done, but you would be adding another cooling system with it's own radiator, water pump and reservoir. The best cooling to the charge air you would achieve would be...

    Firestone Airsprings for the front ???

    Be careful if you use these for plowing. I had air shocks on an older truck and they ended up breaking. Water from the air system froze in the shock body. They work for warm weather, but you have to have really dry air when used in the cold. Having said that, I have not used them on my...

    LBZ: White smoke oh nooooo!!!!!

    What if any power adders are you using? Do you have EFILive? x3 on the balance rates You might want to take a close look at the bottom of both heads for coolant leaks. Is the top radiator hose hard all the time? Depending on what you were doing with the mudding, you might want to check the...

    :welcome7: A common problem on LB7's is the injectors. Were the injectors ever done on the truck?

    LB7: Engine build with specs,pics and track times

    Sweet! Who did you get to do the machine work? Did you do anything else to the heads except change the springs? I'm looking to do a winter build myself and looking for a machine shop that has done some D-Max work up here.

    03/04 tranny line part number

    I just went through this....there are 2 part numbers for each line depending on which fittings were used on your truck (one number has more protrusion into the fitting than the other). Best thing to do is have a dealer run your VIN unless you know which type of fitting was used on your truck...

    Painting/color match door handles

    I used to paint cars, planes, and boats. If you can find someone to take the parts off, paint them and put them back on for $500. I would let them. You have at least $150 in paint supplies if you bought it yourself.

    After Market Manifolds

    I was just thinking about letting the bolts heat cycle a few times, re-torquing, then safety wire. That may be a solution, but you would need cross drilled bolt heads.
