    LB7: The Rebuild, Ch.2 -- Building slowly

    that they do, they just seem to bend and keep bending. here is one of toms pics i found while browsing through his photos. Its in merchants shop. Look over on the wall by the press, has to be one of the worst bends ive seen in a Dmax rod http://rides.webshots.com/photo/2312277330059143000mcaATD

    LB7: The Rebuild, Ch.2 -- Building slowly

    Hey just found this thread, thanks for the pics they are great, and thanks for moving them. Now I just gotta get in gear and add them to the write-up. as stated for the oil pump, insert an allen head (6mm IIRC) into the spot where it fits. Cant really explain it in words. Its on one of the...

    LT/SLT Package into an LS/SLE

    Doing some more digging it looks as if the Bose Audio system could be installed if the components are installed with it which would include the amplifier and radio. The single CD radios can be programmed to run the Premium (non Y91) Bose systems IIRC. From what ive gathered the steering wheel...

    LT/SLT Package into an LS/SLE

    Thus far I have determined that the full power heated memory seats can be adapted into any vehicle providing the heat/memory switches, and the Seat Control Module are installed with them. From what ive gathered, constant 12v power is fed into the Seat Control Module and the Seat Control module...

    LBZ: Rods needed?

    Im running the same turbo as you. As stated, make sure to detune the truck a lot if you were running a max effort tune when it was stock. Then work your way back up to dialing it in for the new setup. My issue was I drove it out the shop door with a max effort tune I made for when it had the...

    Red Backlit Gauges??

    I put a set of Red LED Backlit Autometers in a truck for a guy a little while back. Cant remember the series off hand. I thought they looked plain and boring, but after a little while I didnt mind the look.

    LT/SLT Package into an LS/SLE

    Hey guys, got a question. Are the heated/power seats stand alone or tied into the BCM. Im assuming they are not standalone. So In theory I am wondering if you can remove all of the system components for the seats, will they work. Does the BCM need to be reprogrammed. O is it just not gonna...

    LBZ: Rods needed?

    600hp has been hit on stock stuff but its tricky. JIMDMAX was running a little over 590hp with an Aurora 5000 on his LB7 and it help up fine, havent heard from him if his rods were shortend or not. Trent was running a lot through his stock stuff as well. In my case I bent the rods the second...

    LBZ: Rods needed?

    ^^exactly torque down low is what bends them. I would build a motor on the side if you want but thats another wad of cash to blow when you could be spending it on parts for your motor. Your truck would more than likely be down for about a week to remove the motor, build it and replace it. The...

    s480 question

    480 is a little over 3.0 472 is a 2.8 it what I run. I have a mostly stock fuel system and was nowhere near close to providing enough fuel to unleash the potential of the turbo.

    s480 question

    guy is a great guy to work with. Heck he even helped me with a trans issue at 8pm. Curtis is also great to deal with and has helped me a lot too. Both have had customers with bad experiences but both of them have also built some crazy record breaking engines. Both come from different...
