    DSP5 selector switch broke!

    Any DSP5 switch claiming to be compatible with EFILive should work. The only concern is if the replacement is labeled forwards or backwards compared to yours. I would bet it would be the same, but try tune #1 and #5 to ensure they aren't switched. If they are, just re-label the new switch or...

    LB7 DIC MPG

    I adjust that table on all my LB7 tunes. You can just adjust it 20% across the board, but doing it based on PW modification works better. I made a spreadsheet a long time ago to do that for me. I'll try and find it after work and upload it. Sent from my FlashScan V2 using Tapatalk

    Lb7 crank no start after motor swap

    I have yet to find rhyme or reason to when VATS does or doesn't like an ECU swap. I swap my RoadRunner in to my GMC and Suburban all the time, and it never needs a VATS relearn. I just assumed it was storing the key in the tune. But my GMC ECU died last week, so I flash the GMC file onto the...

    Oil and Filters

    I've come around to my brother's way of looking at things for filters: any brand of filter will capture the little bit of dust and debris that gets in during an oil change and normal operation. Beyond that, if you need your oil filtered, you've got major engine problems, and the best filter in...

    Whining noise

    I always run Dex3 ATF in mine. Seems to last a bit longer than power steering fluid. Sent from my FlashScan V2 using Tapatalk

    Brake job tips

    I'm pretty sure that video is sarcastic. But if not, to play devil's advocate: if you're turbo cheap, but also religiously check the brake pads, why not? 😂

    Hyperflash turn signals

    The GMT800 has 2 different flasher part numbers. I don't believe they flasher module is on the data bus, but they're easy enough to swap out. I've also heard the newer ones can be flashed as a cab and chassis to get LEDs to work right. Sent from my FlashScan V2 using Tapatalk

    Installing a 6 Speed Allison behind a 12v Cummins

    This is what my local builder told me when we were looking to put an Allison behind my dad's 24v. He tore his Achillies and couldn't run the clutch. But he healed up quick, so it's still got the manual. They said they have no issues with the Allison holding up behind the Cummins, especially at...

    CP3 Gear Install / Torque Spec?

    I figured a puller and a hammer would work. Started with a copper hammer, no dice. Then a standard ball-peen, still nothing. Finally got out a propane torch, and it let go. Sent the puller and itself nearly into the ceiling. Someone at GM was out to prove a point when they assembled that one LOL

    CP3 Gear Install / Torque Spec?

    Thanks guys! Sounds simple enough. Hoping to have the Suburban running again next weekend, just waiting on a couple more parts.

    CP3 Gear Install / Torque Spec?

    I am replacing the CP3 on my Suburban with an S&S SuperSport. It didn't come with the CP3 gear or adapter plate, so I pulled them off my stock CP3. Man, that gear was stuck on the stock pump! Had to use a puller and heat before it finally let go. Given how seriously it was installed on the...

    Blockheater tripping gfci

    I run my block heater on a GFCI protected circuit (GFCI+Arc Fault breaker, not the cheap garbage GFCI outlets) and it works fine. My cord is in sorry shape too, the inner conductors are flapping about in the engine bay. But, the inner conductors are clearly not cracked or shorting, just the...

    Fleece Freedom Series Heads?

    Yeah, I love this Suburban. Not too many out there with Quadrasteer, and it is in really good condition (or will be again soon...). I did end up going with the Fleece heads. Will likely be a couple weeks before it is done, since I am sending the steering gear out to get freshened up too while I...

    Fleece Freedom Series Heads?

    (y) I've ordered from Brad before, and based on that sale, will likely be ordering again very soon...

    Fleece Freedom Series Heads?

    Has anyone run Fleece's Freedom Series LB7 heads? Curious about everyone's thoughts on them. Backstory: I warped the heads on my Suburban. Will be about $500 in machine work to clean them up. Add another $1100 for screw-in cups. Fleece has these heads on sale for just under $2000, and I'm...

    GM Quick Disconnect Fittings

    I haven't used those exact fittings, but I've had good luck with the aftermarket fittings connecting to factory GM fuel lines, mainly on the LS stuff. I have my CP3 plumbed how you describe. I cut off the factory feed line and flared it to AN, then ran a short soft line to connect the CP3. So...

    05 LLY Timing Gear Carnage

    Makes me wonder if the CP3 started to seize up, causing it to rip the teeth off? I'd personally be inclined to replace the CP3 entirely, or at least find someone who can test it before putting it back in. Sent from my FlashScan V2 using Tapatalk

    Twins with Twins, Anyone?

    I just pulled the heads on my Suburban, and had the ARP studs stuck like you found. Same when I did the heads on my truck last. I tried double nuts but it ripped the threads off the stud before it came loose, so on the truck I did the same thing as you (but with vice grips). This last week on...

    "OFFICIAL" What did you do to your D-Max today?

    I'd imagine you could pop the windshield out of both cabs, drill out the rivets, and swap the VIN plates. Sent from my FlashScan V2 using Tapatalk
