01-10 steering box redhead ,PSC ,OEM
A lot of good info here, glad this old thread was brought up. I’ve tried red head and liked it to start, but it did start to leak after 30k miles and running 35s blue top is the lead guy spinning off from red head, so they should be very similar but supposedly blue top has better service and...- fl0w3n

Removing overload springs ?
I removed overloads but added a deaver mini pack on my old 06. Rode like a dream. I didn’t have bags though.- fl0w3n

How long would you run these injectors?
Got it for $20/bottle I'll probably just save the other bottles for maybe running a second one through this truck or I'm sure the future Duramax's I'll own lol -
How long would you run these injectors?
Holy crap... I must have really lucked out a year and a half ago on that upper injector cleaner. I just walked into my local dealership and got a couple bottles off the shelf. Now they're running $95+ on Amazon and eBay?! Well, I made some calls and I found 5 bottles of old stock sitting on a... -
Emergency Preparedness
Shoot it's something I think about every so often. Especially now that I live in the damn Bay Area, if there was a Paradise situation here or something like my folks experienced in Ventura County fires... there's bottlenecks everywhere you turn, basically only one way in and out other than...- fl0w3n

How long would you run these injectors?
Well hopefully it doesn’t come to that. I Pretty easily found a few bottles At my local dealer of the injector cleaner a year or so ago for my current LB7, is it getting hard to find? -
How long would you run these injectors?
Good call I forgot about that. I’ll definitely give it a try, can’t hurt. I actually haven’t bought the truck yet, I was hoping to meet the guy this weekend to pick it up but he’s out of town. I should get it sometime next week. Which is why I asked the question, I’d be more hesitant to buy the... -
How long would you run these injectors?
Like James said, my main injection rate was already pulling 2-3mm3 (5-6mm3 main rate) of fuel out so I ran the numbers at those two. Search for “proper way to check balance rates” and I think it was Thermarator who did a solid write up explaining it. Okay, that makes me feel way better. I’ve... -
How long would you run these injectors?
Truck idled, ran and drove great. No indication of bad injectors other than checking balance rates. This is in park only. Forgot to do drive. They’re 55-60k miles on a dealer install. I’m wondering if I can get by with 2-3000 miles before putting SAC00s in and not risk any more damage that... -
Cab Isolators
right the bolded part is what I thought but just wanted to confirm because I thought you were saying without overload it’s linear. I’ve never really messed with bags, had some Firestone’s for my LBZ with that deaver mini pack but never wound up mounting them. But I’ve heard they are tough to...- fl0w3n

Cab Isolators
Got it, thanks. Hopefully y'all figure it out soon lol, there's some threads where there's just a bunch of one letter posts Sure, agreed it would be a band-aid, although you mentioned things I didn't consider. With a properly arched main pack, no overload, and a mini-pack - you're saying this...- fl0w3n

Cab Isolators
Do you guys have a measurement range for what's OK and what's considered worn out? I'm wondering if a Deaver mini-pack would be a decent band-aid as well, since it would get rid of the overload and sort of help the rest of the spring pack keep its arch? And with the bags, you could retain heavy...- fl0w3n

02 LB7 Allison to ZF6 Conversion
Yeah, do everything you can to save that tail housing. In fact, check that yours now isn't already cracked or already was repaired. Once it's gone, it's a nightmare trying to find a replacement. People pay $1k for just the tail housing by itself, and I wound up having to buy a complete full...- fl0w3n

02 LB7 Allison to ZF6 Conversion
I am not sure on the wiring questions, I’ve never done the swap. I do believe I’ve seen other people post that the firewalls are identical between trucks and there are knockouts where you need them. assuming you have the trans already? Take care of that tail housing... I’m so over my ZF6 that...- fl0w3n

truck towing pictures...
Also, to get the thread back on track... Is it irony that my POS 2500 Burb has not only hauled my busted LB7 twice, but it is now sacrificing its life to be traded to the transmission shop so that the Duramax can have the trans rebuilt? -

York Onboard Air Setups
I have a York 210 compressor and small air tank off a Semi I've had sitting in a box in the garage just waiting to one day install, but it hasn't made its way up the priority list yet. I just wanted to start a discussion to get some ideas rolling for when I do get to that point. Feel free to... -
LB7: SAC-style Injector Life
I assume so, but this only applies to SAC45s right? The 00s are truly drop in? When I bought my SAC45s from LDS they explained to me there was a difference, and what I gathered is since LDS does so many of them they are essentially able to “bin” them. Meaning, sort through and pair together a... -
truck towing pictures...
Oh dang, didn’t know little shop had that, but I guess makes sense for bagged trucks. have you done any mods to your 210 for oil? Do you only use it for the rear bags, or do you use tools/etc off it as well? -
How often to change serpentine belt ?
My worst one was losing the belt and the tensioner in Barstow, on a Sunday, in summer, with the boat and family in tow. Add to that the only Uber available for 15m wound up running out of gas on the freeway on ramp with me and my mother in the car just after grabbing the parts, and the next...- fl0w3n
