    Bad News Bears

    Well today the dealer let me borrow their compression gauge and adapter to test my compression tonite. But i found out what i was scared would happen. As you may remember i had a very smokey rough idle that popped and sputtered but when i shut cylinder 2 off things were fine. The balance rate...

    New Shoes for Casper:

    wow, guess ive never seen tires like that. They dont look like they are rated for very much weight. Highest speed rating ive seen are the 300mph airplane tires we get to mount up at work. However they are 32ply and rated for 51,100lbs so you can imagine how fun they are to get put...

    LB7: Bad Injector??

    Okay guys, thanks, I knew about the loctite and copper washer, just wasnt sure how difficult they were to remove. Ive had it all tore apart but didnt pop the injectors out. I may try the ATF to see if that will at least fix the one on the drivers side, I really dont feel like tearing into that side

    LB7: Bad Injector??

    I think I might just do that to make sure. If i get time, tonite i want to get it up to temp and test the balance rates in drive. The last test was cold in park which ive been told isnt as accurate. Ill do a compression check soon too hopefully and then start tearing it down. Maybe make a...

    LB7: Bad Injector??

    Well as some know i have a very rough smokey idle that pops and such. After further investigation, i found that shutting off injector #2 cured the issue. I checked the balance rates once more and it was out of spec +5.23 in park. #3 was also out of spec too at -4.47. I did not take...

    LB7: 4094 to 4294???

    IIRC a 4294 is set up similar to my S400. I run a relatively stock fuel system as well. Boost is around 45-50psi, havent watched it much. No smoke at all http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D4SA8nYPfrs however as you can see in the second clip of that video, you have to keep the RPMs up. Mine...

    Head Machining

    they arent the easiest motors to work on, but its better than a powerstroke. I really dont think they are too bad at all especially after you do it once.

    Head Machining

    On my LB7 the ARP bolts went 50lb, 90lbs then 125lb. Wait a little, then back them off and torque straight to 125lb, do that 3 times. On the last time wait overnight, then once done install the little 8mm bolts at 25lb-ft, IIRC. Also, if you loosen the nuts all the way make sure to reseat the...

    Got any custom stuff done to your truck?

    I made a custom switch panel for mine. It sits where the upper cubby used to be in my SLT package. It houses 8 toggle switchs, my DSP5 and both Cig Lighters, its made from 304 brushed SS. The switches do the following Cutoff for DSP5, more useful than some may think High idle Toggle switch...

    Ive got a smokey idle too

    okay guys i do have a concern though. You mentioned bent rods and cracked pistons will show up in the balance rates. Im assuming there is a chance that this may be the case then with my truck. Im planning on taking it to the dealer tomorrow to have them check the return rates to really find...
