    Good Shop in Oakland California area?

    Well a balance rate would tell you where the issue hole is no? And if that matches up with the area of the noise…….cut it out and see how balance rates change should tell you if you’re cutting out the right hole. Or unplug them one at a time.

    Good Shop in Oakland California area?

    Buddy had a local come to his hotel with an Autel scanner and did some tests. #8 cylinder was the one doing the knocking. Changed out the injector, still knocking. Cut the cyl out and it goes away. Ironically I was working on a Z recently that had the same symptoms and did the same - replaced...

    Good Scan tool recommendations

    Buddy has the Autel. It works pretty good. Bluetooth to the dongle that plugs in the OBD port. Only thing I couldn’t find was cyl contribution testing and obviously it can’t flash but can do most everything else a guy needs.

    Good Shop in Oakland California area?

    He had it at all bay diesel in Oakland and they tried to sell him an engine rebuild but couldn’t even tell him what his balance rates were or compression so I dunno.

    Table for calibrating fuel mpg ?????

    It only had a 265 on it before so the percent it was out was pretty close to the difference in tire size. Now that I run a 34” tire and corrected it for the speedo it’s way out. I’ll look again tonight and see if I can find the table but if someone finds it first that would be sweet.

    Table for calibrating fuel mpg ?????

    Is this a thing on the LB7? I feel like I saw a table I could tweak to get my mpg and range more accurate but can’t find it now. Maybe I was dreaming? MPG and range went way out after adjusting my speedo for my tire size. Was within .5 mpg, now it’s out by almost 3. Kinda annoying.

    Whereabouts in Canada? I’m an hour from the border so I drop ship a lot of stuff as it’s sometimes quite a bit cheaper.

    Bought LB7 04/13. Won't start 04/16.

    Those rubber lines going from the frame hardlines to the ones on the engine are known for going bad internally too. 20 y/o truck I’d be looking at stuff like that before spending big bucks on regulators and pumps etc. I’d start by rebuilding the filter head and if it still acts up hook up a...

    Found a 6 bolt cardone on rockauto if anyone was interested in trying it. P/N-978418GB FWIW the BBB reman I put on is not impressive to say the least. It was much better than the worn out one I took off but has a lot more play in the steering wheel than I like. I don’t see it lasting long.

    Front Hub Replacment

    I’m going to be doing a lift here right away and want to put new bearings in the new knuckles. Was looking on rockauto and it seems no matter the brand (With the exception of Mevotech where their HD part is corrosion resistant coated) they all have 2 or 3 different grades where the only real...

    Big Couple Weeks for the 7-Story Time

    These are gonna look sic. But I’ve never seen so many liars outside of our government as there is on custom offsets. There is no FN way guys are running this size on level kit only. I can barely clear the bumper and if I had all my fender it would rub hard. So looks like I’m gonna have to...

    Cranks will start but dies

    Rebuild the filter head and huck a new filter at it. Then find some diesel 911 and put that in the tank. You just fixed your problem fairly cheaply if it’s either of those two things. After that you’re going to have to investigate deeper if the problem persists. Anything from a failed rubber...

    Question: Who on here has been unhappy with results using Amsoil?

    I didn’t read this thread when it was started. Not going to now either. Not sure why someone felt the need to excavate it from the archives……

    Cracked Piston solutions?

    Mine were solid in my Z. Crank-not so much. That said I would never put stock Z or stock LMM pistons back in an engine.

    Big Couple Weeks for the 7-Story Time

    Ha! Try looking for forged in even 20x12 nowadays. KG1 and Force laughed at me and said they were a special order. Everyone wants 22’s and bigger and -44 or -76. It’s ridiculous. I wanted some flow forged XF wheels but they have nothing available. These came up on a one day sale 40% off so I...
