    Suspension setups...shocks, overloads, ladder bars

    I honestly have no clue. The cal tracs instructions didn't mention anything about the other holes and what they're best used for, so I left it as is.

    Suspension setups...shocks, overloads, ladder bars

    Finished up the Caltracs install this morning. I've got the preload set fairly light right now. It rides no different than before. I can definitely feel the caltracs load the axle when I get on it. I like how it sits with the overloads out!

    Cal tracs supply a new bushing that is required.

    Suspension setups...shocks, overloads, ladder bars

    Front shocks are installed, rears accidentally never got ordered, but I ordered them yesterday. Cal tracs showed up yesterday and I have them mostly installed. Was up till 3am working on it. I had to remove both leafs completely to get those bushings out. I had to use the 100 ton press at my...

    LML Optilube

    Every time I have ran optilube, I would get fuel pressure regulator performance codes. Stopped using optilube and the codes go away.

    BD tap shifter issues

    BD is telling me there should be zero issues running the BT box and their tap shifter together. They're saying to try the new module before taking the tap shifter off. We will see how the new module responds when it gets here.

    BD tap shifter issues

    Just swapped the wires like I mentioned previously. Didn't change anything. Same issue. Looks like this tap shifter is coming off.

    Suspension setups...shocks, overloads, ladder bars

    I am beyond excited to see how this thing reacts with the new stuff. I've also still got a goose neck hitch in that I need to pull out.

    Suspension setups...shocks, overloads, ladder bars

    Only reason I even replaced my rear shocks was because one of them locked up solid...or else they'd still be on there :D

    Changed my mind. Cal tracs are also ordered.

    Lb7 build

    It the gauge physically showing it is overheating? Or is it just spitting coolant? I'd say it is either lifting the heads and pushing coolant or the water pump impeller came off.

    BD tap shifter issues

    I have an idea though. Not sure if people are familiar with exactly how the BD box plugs in...but here is what I am figuring. The lockup box taps into the top connector of the TCM, which the BD box also uses the top connector. So the factory harness that has the lockup box tapped into, is now...

    BD tap shifter issues

    I already talked to Ben about it, he said he is unaware of any issues between his box and any tap shifter. If anything, it is BD who needs to create the fix. I'm just hoping that the module I have has a glitch in it and that the new one will be fine.

    BD tap shifter issues

    Well, I've narrowed it down. My BT diesel lockup box is what is causing the BD tap shifter to screw up. They are not playing nice together for whatever reason. If I am in 3rd gear or higher with the tap shifter and the lockup box locks the converter, it messes up the gear synchronization every...

    BD is sending me a new module. Hopefully that fixes it.
