    3" lift RC Control Arms on 6" lift?

    Anyone know if the control arms that come with Rough Country's 3" lift kit can be used with their 6" lift? Im in the process of installing the 6" kit, and the RC control arms are already on the truck. I dont have OEM control arms. I plan on getting the Kryptonite ultimate front end kit here...

    How much should I trust FASS filtration?

    Do you know if they make a filter to fit FASS fuel systems? Sent from my SM-S908U1 using Tapatalk

    How much should I trust FASS filtration?

    Thank you all for the info, this is why I came and asked before I did anything stupid. I would've only gone through with it if confidence in the filtration came back high from those of you who know more than me. But it sounds like even with the added filtration a bad load of fuel can still...

    How much should I trust FASS filtration?

    Is there a filter setup that will fit the fass system that is better than the FASS filters? Also how would you prefilter it? The only thing that comes to mind is putting it in the tank and running the Fass pump with the output side going into a clean container and then changing the filters...

    How much should I trust FASS filtration?

    Hey all. So I'm running a FASS 165 in my truck, 02 LB7, and I happen to have come accross roughly 160 gallons of suspected water contaminated diesel fuel from the floods in South Florida a few weeks back. Would you trust the FASS filtration and run the fuel to save $600 bucks, or nah, the...

    Screeching Noise (with video link and audio)

    Thank you fellas, I appreciate the input. I'm gonna go in and take off all the gaskets and spray them with copper sealant like Brad recommended. I'll come back in and update the thread on the results so it helps out the next guy. Sent from my SM-S908U1 using Tapatalk

    Screeching Noise (with video link and audio)

    The gaskets back there are all brand new. I changed them recently as part of the top-end work I was doing. But now that you mention it, I also have a ticking noise coming from the passenger side that I thought could be I botched the valve adjustment... maybe the ticking is also an exhaust leak...

    Screeching Noise (with video link and audio)

    Here's another clip. This time there was no traffic ahead so I was able to stay in it a bit more. Notice how the screeching comes when accelerating and then goes away for a bit when the trans shifts. Turbo going bad?? https://linksharing.samsungcloud.com/mTDTb6dUJZeH Sent from my SM-S908U1...

    Screeching Noise (with video link and audio)

    Hello guys, As some of you know, I recently finished working on my 2002 LB7. I've been driving it for the past two days to see how the truck came out, and overall it's running fine but I have a screeching noise coming from the engine when I accelerate and the RPM go above 2,500ish. It only...

    Coolant Issues

    Dude, you have no idea the levels of paranoia! Lol I've been driving the truck to test it for only a couple of days and I have this constant feeling of impending doom that it's just gonna blow up any second [emoji28] Sent from my SM-S908U1 using Tapatalk

    Towing injector size

    +1 on getting with @Bdsankey for all your Duramax needs. When I first got my truck I made a lot of mistakes that cost me time and money because I called vendors directly and they would sell me stuff without it being needed and because I was new to diesels I didn't know any better. When I first...

    Autocal V3 Suddenly not working.

    I bought an Autocal V3 from Calibrated Power when I started working on my truck less than a year ago. Ive used it maybe a handful of times. 5 or 6 tops. Qell today I went to check balance rates and it doesn't seem to be working. It powers up, but none of the functions are working. When I...

    Coolant Issues

    Back in to update the thread. My issue was the bleeder screw. As recommended above I filled up the coolant with the screw completely off until coolant came out and then filled up the rest of the way. I let it idle for 30 minutes with the pressure tester hooked up to the reservoir and had no...

    Coolant Issues

    Dude... I think your comment saved me from tearing down half the motor again. After you mentioned the bleeder I got curious and I think I know what my problem is. I already knew about the bleeder and had read that the bleeder screw needed to be loose while filling up coolant, but mine for some...

    Coolant Issues

    But is it normal for that air in the system to make the reservoir overflow at idle with the cap off? The overflowing more than anything is what got me because when I bought it with a blown head gasket it would also overflow and smoke out the reservoir. There's no smoke now but it is...

    Coolant Issues

    Well its been 20 minutes and I lost about 1 psi. So I'd say if there is a leak it doesn't seem to be major. Sent from my SM-S908U1 using Tapatalk

    I got the cooling system tester on it at 15 lbs to check for leaks while I finish prepping to start again. Sent from my SM-S908U1 using Tapatalk

    Coolant Issues

    Anyone know if the starter on a Duramax is strong enough to bend a rod? Since its been sitting with coolant in it for a while I wouldn't want to just start it in case a cylinder bow had coolant in it. So Id prefer to check that it spins freely before starting it up. If I crank it manually...

    Coolant Issues

    I have a coolant system pressure tester that I'm gonna throw on it once I've put back what I took off to check the head gasket flaps. I'll let you know what I get. What kind of reading should I be looking for? Is ANY pressure in that tank okay? Sent from my SM-S908U1 using Tapatalk
