    LB7: Hard starting

    Mine was hard starting prior to replacing my injectors (all 8). I had 4 bad ones, 2 on each side (bit the bullet and did them all). That was time 2 at 135k, time 1 was at 18K on the dealer. I was not getting any black smoke, but had some white smoke when it started. I also had a CP3 FPR that...

    New Toy

    If the hat means anything, he is a PIPELINER. :thumb::thumb: BTW, nice ride!

    Info: rim questions

    The bolt pattern is the same, but I think the inside diameter of the wheel has changed to clear different styles of brakes/calipers. The new wheels will fit the old stuff, but not necessarily the other way around.

    what are these two things and what are they for?

    As stated above, the exhaust brake allows the engine to slow the truck. It is not really needed if you are not towing. I never had one, but i was not towing REALLY heavy, I maxed out at about 8K behind the truck and just used tow-haul. As for stand alone controllers, it depends. I know the...

    Output Shaft Seal

    X2 You should also check to make sure the bushing in the tail shaft of the t-case is in good condition if you are wondering about the seal. If you want a pic of the t-case I have mine apart on the bench today.

    Turbo oil feed line - alternate tap location?

    I also used the A position. It did leak oil (you are draining the oil galley). My HTT kit came with a long and a short hose a check valve to keep the oil from draining back from the turbo (the short hose was closest to the block). I primed both the turbo and the oil line. I also pulled the...

    egt probe

    I have the BD and an EGT probe that came with my original Banks setup. For the Banks, I drilled and tapped the passenger side while in place...no welding....I did make a magnet out of steel wire and was amazed at how much stuff came out even with grease on both the bit and tap. I have also...

    output shaft

    I replaced mine when I did the first rebuild. I just did not want to have to go back in if it was one of the weak stock ones. Guess I should have started with the Suncoast, my weak link was the ATS parts.:mad::mad:

    LLY: Tach not working

    You can run with the IPC disconnected and out of the vehicle. It happened to me when my whole cluster took a dump.

    s366 or s472?

    I really like my HTT 366. If I had it to do over, I probably would go with the 472. If you want to tow heavy, you may want to stay with the 366. I bought the 366 with plans to go for twins, and ended up getting one of Trent's triple kits instead. Talk to Trent, he has a lot of options for...

    366 Question

    I think I used these folks when I replaced my turbo hose: http://www.turbohoses.com/index.html . I reused my stock hose the first couple of times, but it was REALLY tight on the HTT, but I did get it to fit. When I replaced the factory boost tube with the Banks, I used a new transition hose...

    Where to start?

    x2, start with the exhaust first, then EGT gauges, then with tuning IMO

    Strange issues with our 2006 Duramax

    I did not have all those problems, but I was throwing codes from the BCM. Then the instrument cluster died...everything went black, no lights, gauges, anything. I had the IC fixed by a rebuilder. It was corroded. The replaced all the stepper motors and cleaned up the connections....I...
