Sorry if it’s already been posted, but punctuation seems to frequently show up as a ton of additional characters thrown into the word. great job on the upgrade overall though!- fl0w3n

Injector issues, unable to read in neutral
Cool detailed pictures and write up, thanks for sharing -
truck towing pictures...
Is it a converted York unit? I've got a York 210 and a small air tank from a Semi sitting in the garage for one day, I'd be curious about mounting brackets and plumbing if you did the same -

Hmm, like I said, never noticed on my LBZ. Is it something anyone's ever adapted to the 01-05 trucks? Or is it not worth it? Not to derail the thread but a potential new LB7 purchase and this thread/your cooling thread on your old limo have me thinking more about cooling recently - Kennedy's... -

What shroud is this? I never noticed on my LBZ, and apparently my LB7 doesn't have it? -
Trans Service Advice
That's what I figured. 146k on the truck, on your advice I'll probably leave it stock until I can afford the downtime and the bill- fl0w3n

Trans Service Advice
Sorry to hijack the thread... but is there really such thing as a trans safe tow tune? I'm looking at adding another bone stock LB7 to the fleet, and I'm inclined to leave it bone stock but if you say there's tunes out there that should let a 5spd live for a couple years... I'd consider it for...- fl0w3n

04 lb7 w/ cyl 4 bal rate 15
How many miles on the truck? Not even a tune and it bent a rod? -
Considering DD'ing 350k mile LB7?
I’d probably keep it then. Power goals for this truck are probably stock for a couple years. I don’t want to get into the trans. If there’s truly a trans safe tow tune then maybe something like that at most. I need one of my vehicles to be the solid reliable one that I don’t have to worry... -
Considering DD'ing 350k mile LB7?
Oh, and desired vs actual was fine in park. Putting it in drive/foot on brake and revving it up, they stayed the same within a couple digits. At 145k, if I do wind up getting it and putting some SAC00's in, would it be dumb not to do a new CP3 at the same time? -
Considering DD'ing 350k mile LB7?
Saw the 04 LB7 I mentioned, the thing is super dang clean. Almost immaculate paint. Interior is super clean, except tear on driver seat. Bone stock except a stereo. Not even an exhaust. Runs and idles super smooth, pulls good. But Tech 2 tells a different story, looks like injectors are on... -
Considering DD'ing 350k mile LB7?
That's what I'm figuring. He's going to get the invoice from the dealer and hopefully that tells for sure. Definitely, and I've heard some guys hypothesize that they usually fail around the same time on the truck. Meaning, if you failed at 75k, it'll fail around 150k etc. If that's true... -
Considering DD'ing 350k mile LB7?
Going to derail my own thread... I’m looking at picking up a second Duramax to leave stock and DD, coming to the realization the 350k mile ZF6 one will continue to be a project as I take it to where I want. I was shooting for an LLY or even LBZ again but found what looks like a real clean 04... -
Fixing my LBZ/ truck build
Anything to backup that -20% on torque for anti-siezed stuff, or is that just what you feel is comfortable?- fl0w3n

Lb7 no start??
My brand new LBZ FPR in my brand new S&S CP3 made a loud buzzing, you could hear from the cab with door open and hood open if you listened hard enough. From some searching I saw that was maybe normal :confused: I eventually got my truck started so it didn’t seem to be an issue. -
LLY: I need an LLY refresher course
I thought there was a reason other than aesthetics that they made the taller hood in 05? Good point that most would be repaired by now. Is there any visual way to tell that a harness has been ice picked? Every generation, or every truck for that matter, will have its downsides for every... -
LLY: I need an LLY refresher course
I’ve owned an LBZ and currently an LB7, but I’m considering getting an LLY now as well. I am hoping for a quick refresher. The 05 LLYs with the tall hoods have the y-bridge and intake updated, whereas the 04.5’s were more prone to over heating- correct? Were the 04.5s the only year... -
02' LB7 Tow Pig Build
Sure, that makes sense on the trivial items. I'm 100% with you, the 03+ interior is more comfortable/slightly better looking than the 01-02. I eventually want to swap the steering wheel on mine. When you say complete paint job, do you mean like a real respray into the door jambs and...- fl0w3n

02' LB7 Tow Pig Build
Also, that truck looks so damn clean. Really makes me wish my LB7 had some color instead of white, and that it was a Chevy front end instead. Guess that just means I'll have to get another one :woott:- fl0w3n
