    Lb7 ecm or fuel issue.

    First step I'd recommend would be to get the scan tool to connect. Without being able to talk to the ECU it will be much much harder to diagnose. Check the cigarette lighter fuse if you haven't yet. When it is cold and dies, what if you get a friend to help, and prime it constantly? Will it...

    Chevelle upgrades.

    The downside of moving them pre IC is you lose a lot of efficiency in the IC. The hotter the charge entering the IC is, the more efficient it is. For the coldest charge air temp, you need the nitrous after the IC, even if only just. Sent from my FlashScan V2 using Tapatalk

    Silly gas truck driver here

    Welcome! I believe it was Ben (duratothemax) who did the PassKey 3 conversion on a 2004 or 2005 truck. There were, as I'm sure you know, some major wiring changes in 2003, so I'm curious if it is possible on your 2002. If you do give it a shot, post up how it goes, I'm really curious. Would be...

    P2227 BARO Code Troubleshooting

    You can look up the barometric pressure for your location online. At sea level it is usually 100-103 kPa, depending on weather. Here at 2500' it is usually 92-93 kPa. The main thing is if the baro sensor and MAP sensor don't match within reason at key on engine off it knows one of them has...

    Trans is bad, upgrade same time as replacement?

    The 6-speed uses a different NSBU (gear selector) switch, valve body & harness, etc. So you can't plug a 6-speed in to your 2001 truck. You can convert a 5-speed into a 6-speed with a modified valve body and custom programming, but I don't know if anyone has done it on the gas engine, so it...

    GMT800 climate control automatic (CJ2) to manual (CJ3) conversion

    😅 Hey, I try to be a good friend. While I personally like the auto setup to hold a constant cabin temperature, I can understand that some people want to have hot or cold air blow on them to quickly warm up / cool off. Not my preference, but it is seemingly a common one, judging by this thread alone.

    GMT800 climate control automatic (CJ2) to manual (CJ3) conversion

    It sounds like the GMT900 auto controls are way worse than the GMT800. I quite like the GMT800 (and older, like in my daily beater '98 Pontiac Grand Prix) auto controls. Especially now in the fall because when I head to work it runs the heat, and when I head home it runs the A/C, and I never...

    GMT800 climate control automatic (CJ2) to manual (CJ3) conversion

    My friend replaced the junkyard CJ3 (manual) climate controls with a new Dorman 599-210XD from Amazon and it solved the actuator drift! So yes, 100% 💩 GM firmware holding the manual controls back. I still think they did it on purpose. I would HIGHLY recommend just buying the Dorman rather than...

    GMT800 climate control automatic (CJ2) to manual (CJ3) conversion

    I am with you 100% on this, it is ridiculous to have to look down and interact with a screen to change simple things like temperature, radio volume, or (looking at you Tesla) windshield wipers. A quick scan through the GMT900 schematics makes me think it might just need a custom jumper harness...

    GMT800 climate control automatic (CJ2) to manual (CJ3) conversion

    People have been complaining about the lack of tech here lately, so I thought I would completely misunderstand the assignment and share a project I am wrapping up for a friend. Is it tech? Technically yes. Is it stupid? Also yes. Behold: Converting Automatic Climate Control to Manual: The Hard...

    Sound coming from airbox.

    Oof, that sure does look like a cracked piston. That really sucks man, sorry to see it. Sent from my FlashScan V2 using Tapatalk

    Sound coming from airbox.

    My LB7 makes the same sound out the exhaust. I think it's just resonance and completely harmless. Sent from my FlashScan V2 using Tapatalk

    Changing turbo setup

    No, I don't have a drive pressure gauge or a wastegate. It wouldn't surprise me if I was just asking too much out of it and that is why it won't last. The S467 + S488 setup you mentioned is something I have considered as well. Would the S467 be more responsive than the GTX 4094? Or in the same...

    Changing turbo setup

    The truck does tow fairly often, but you have to remember my baseline for acceptable lag is this worn-out S371. With the converter and trans tuning I can make it work. It is only annoying in 1st gear; once I am rolling it is pretty responsive. I certainly appreciate the value of the Borg...

    Changing turbo setup

    I've had my motor built for about 5 years now, and I have an old Trent Nell / EPR turbo kit. It's a S371 with a clipped 74mm turbine. It has made 700+ HP but I mostly run it on a 660 HP tune to try and extend the life of the turbo, with limited success. I've been toying with the idea of...
