    LB7: Gauges electric or mechancal

    What I did was go with Aeroforce dual gauges: http://www.aeroforcetech.com/products_interceptor.html These have EGT's to 2000*F, and you can get pressure transmitters that go to 100 psi. Aeroforce are round gauges with 2 digital displays per gauge. You can get a single or dual gauges. I...

    turbo problem i think

    I like my HTT, and it makes a great base for twins or triples, the S366 is a nice turbo for towing and for letting the wife drive (at the lower tune levels :eek:). If you wanted to save a little money, you could consider the S464 (also a good base for twins, and will flow more than the S300's)...

    Broken Crankshaft Count?

    GM Parts cheap has a new GM crank listed for right at $1000. Talk to Guy at SoCal, or Henry at Creatures of the Night-I'm sure that there are others out there. They may have or know someone who has a good used crank.

    Cleaning the motor

    I would say it depends. If you really hose the thing down, you can drive water into places that you never want to have water. If you are careful.....maybe. I would not use the pressure washer like a brush and use the fan spray to clean off the grease and oil in 6" wide passes. I refuse to...

    fuel pressure gauge

    I use an analog input (Aeroforce electronic pressure transmitter) for the fuel pressure and run the output wire to my Aeroforce and the analog input to the V2. There is no PID for fuel pressure into the CP3.

    fuel pressure

    PPE's pump works well, is fairly cheap, but is noisy and has no filters. When my PPE dies, I think I am going to get something with a filter. Something to consider on a DD is depending on the pump you use, you may want to plumb in a bypass in case the pump dies while you are on the road. Some...

    fuel pressure gauge

    If you do not already have an EGT, the Aeroforce is a good way to go for being able to see a lot of parameters with one gauge (it has 2 digital displays per gauge). They are not really cheap, but pretty handy (I have a dual set). If you use the analog inputs, you can also wire them into the...

    fuel pressure gauge

    If you want rail pressure only, PPE and others have gage kits: http://www.pacificp.com/store/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=2_24&products_id=197&zenid=8d09b271057a7f03f4d22fe4087df457 If you wanted to see if a lift pump was working you could put that tap on either side of the filter...

    Question: Looking for the perfect Duramax... To Mod.

    There is no one up here that I would trust to do the work. I trusted someone, and then did the second rebuild myself. Depending on your travel direction coming back, Trent also does transmission work and you would only have to go as far south as Utah. What part of the valley? ....I'm on the...

    Rainy Day...

    The LAST time my wife drove the truck she was taking our kids, and the rest of the neighborhood to school. She needed to drive the truck because her car was at the stealer for warranty, and I forgot and left the big tune running...oops. She was making a left hand sweeper up hill the on-ramp...

    best option to modify exhaust?

    I do not think the cat will throw a code, but removing the DPF will. You will need EFILive, or some other download tuner to change the tables to remove the trouble code. I would recommend getting EFILive from a reputable tuner....it should come with some moderate tunes and will give you more...

    Help: Loud whining noise/loss of power

    X2 I was thinking the same thing. I lose about 200-300 rpm when the fan clutch engages. Which for me is about never, even when towing, our temps just do not get that high....unless I leave the grill and bumper covers on too late into the spring... :eek: Keep in mind you can overheat the...

    LB7: HTT 66/71/14 Opinions

    I love mine, but I have the 66/71/16. Mine lights and comes on like a freight train, but that was with an ATS 5Star (pretty tight converter). I have yet to put it back together with the ML Precision. My II mod CP3 gives me more fuel than I can really use with the HTT and keep the EGT's at...

    Tan interior paint

    I was able to get "close" by going to a professional auto paint store with my A-post cover in hand. I could NOT find a match, but unless you were looking it was not too noticeable. Mine was the charcoal interior, not the tan.
