    59 Apache Duramax

    New addition to the family. Picked her up last week, was at a buddy's restoration shop getting an LS2 but since Im going with a Duramax I bought it as a roller. The owner bailed on the project after a bunch of work was completed. Frame off, rear frame c-notched for bags and set up with 4 link...

    LBZ: surging NOT FPR

    Lift pump pressure to high? I currently have this issue with my chevelle, switched to a 10MM pump and it is not happy with my lift pump pressure, makes actual rail extremely high at idle, knocking like crazy. When I turn off the lift pump, pressure goes to desired, and sounds 100% normal.

    Tune issues

    Once you do the update, you can only edit in 7.5 but everything else happens in 8. Licensing, reading, flashing, etc...... If you open the tune in 8 and try to edit, it will do what you described in your OP, you would just hit the edit in 7.5 button and the software will launch 7.5 with the...

    LB7 to LLY blown head gasket

    You will need to entire top of the motor, heads and up from there. Including ecm and ficm. You will also need the truck side harness that plugs into the ecm/tcm and an Lly nbsu switch. An entire Lly engine would be best as stated above. You'll also need to have the ecm flashed so your fuel gage...

    First Swap LB7 to LBZ, possibly

    Mainly Russ, I'm just trying to keep up. And when it comes to the tranny that is all Russ. I've done the LB7-LLY swaps in the 01-02 and the 03-04 with Russ' help and with the thread he has posted. We have however tackled the 01-02 LLY conversion harness (modded truck side LLY harness...

    First Swap LB7 to LBZ, possibly

    Hard to tell from that pic but it looks like that is a speed sensor in the tail housing which would make it a 2wd tranny. Yes having the motor and tranny LBZ/6 speed would make the swap much more straight forward. But you would need the truck side harness for that motor/tranny combo, even if...

    1971 Chevelle Duramax Swap and Build

    The 4L will fit, but the tunnel will need to be modded regardless of the tranny. The engine sits higher then desired in these cars and puts the tranny higher in the tunnel. Nature of the beast, not a big deal. Nice to see another Duramax Chevelle being built close by, I'm sure I'll get to...

    ATP tuner

    Autocals no longer have to be sent to unlink. It can be done remotely. The tuner who carries the link can create an unlink code that can be sent to the owner of the ac to do the unlink process. This just started happening a few months ago in a recent software release. 100$ is fair for a used...

    LB7: Lb7 turbo leaking coolant

    If you know the turbo is leaking and the wp, then change them.... stuff wears out and eventually needs to be replaced.

    LLY: LLY Efi live stock tune

    Autocals don't work that way. You need the v2 that is linked to your ac to write the tune that you want to load. Even a stock tune.
