02' LB7 Tow Pig Build
:thumb: You say that like the block letting loose was an anomaly? Was it? When you guys are saying these lifetime mileage goals, I'm interpreting that to mean the whole package. Am I wrong? Meaning, yeah the parts list of aftermarket stuff is good for those mileage goals at that power...- fl0w3n

Fixing my LBZ/ truck build
Yeah, you're making me wish I had taken a little more time and painted some stuff when I did my injectors. Oh well, there's always when I tear into it for a rebuild :D I'm curious why you didn't pull the motor instead of doing the work inside the truck?- fl0w3n

Considering DD'ing 350k mile LB7?
I personally don't own any EFI live tools yet I am not sure what the shop tried, it was 5:30 PM on a Friday afternoon and I was picking the truck up the next day. They probably just fumbled with it a few times and then gave up. Pmason92 didn't have any issues getting his EFI live to... -
Considering DD'ing 350k mile LB7?
Just a small update I still took the truck to the local shop like I had planned so they could bust their knuckles on the down pipe, up pipe, and exhaust. Wound up having them throw an alternator in too. They went to load the tunes in and said they had a problem they’d never seen before. First... -

Right on man, I've come to similar conclusions for other hobbies as well, but they are nowhere near the scale of $ for diesels haha I love the luxury of some of the new trucks, but I'm also a little turned off by how complexly everything is integrated. But, you can't have your cake and eat...- fl0w3n

LML Twins and Opinions
I’m not ready to read 68 pages of thread right now lol, but just curious what the reason for what seems to be a change in mentality from the last truck? Last truck was throw everything at it for big passing and towing power, if she blows she blows VS not even wanting to tune this one? Is the...- fl0w3n

Fixing my LBZ/ truck build
Even in the oil environment under the valve covers? I recall the old injectors I pulled out being grimey, but I don't recall rust. Maybe that's the (one) perk of being in California? I guess I'd just be worried that somehow overspray or a flake of paint could make it somewhere it's not...- fl0w3n

02' LB7 Tow Pig Build
Did I miss what the plan is for air? Also curious, would you still consider this a 150-200k reliable build @ 650-700HP if they were entry level or LBZ rods? Is cutting the threads into the head a pretty simple thing to do for the machine shop while they do the heads? After reading through...- fl0w3n

Considering DD'ing 350k mile LB7?
Welp... now I’ve got much bigger problems. Truck is stuck in two gears somehow. Regardless of shifter position, even in neutral you can let the clutch out and it starts to grab. Throw it in first and it won’t go anywhere. -
Considering DD'ing 350k mile LB7?
So I took it for a little longer drive through town to try and warm it up and get it to burp coolant, which I got it to do, but also it started to lope now as i let off the throttle and coast to idle. Also, wouldn’t let me get up past 2k rpm. Started to break up like it was hitting fuel cut... -
Considering DD'ing 350k mile LB7?
Got it. Is it weird that it’s not loping at idle and runs pretty smooth actually then? Also, big thanks to everyone who contributed to the thread and answered all my questions. Couldn’t of done it without the community help. -
Considering DD'ing 350k mile LB7?
Is it a normally open valve? More current closes it? I do have a lift pump now, it’s an air dog and I actually forgot to see if the pressure is turned all the way down. -
Considering DD'ing 350k mile LB7?
Starts runs and drives now. Took it around the block a couple times. I need to get the thermostats to open so it can burp coolant and I can finish filling it. A few little non-critical odds and ends need to get buttoned up, mainly unrelated to the work I just did. This is weird though -... -
Considering DD'ing 350k mile LB7?
:roflmao: They’re pretty fricken sweet. Anyone need some let me know. Miraculously plugging them in and it fricken starts. Huge fuel leak out of the CP3 line to the distribution block, tightened it up and getting ready for a test drive. -

Considering DD'ing 350k mile LB7?
I cleared the code, but I still need to do a relearn? I can’t pair it through a function in the Tech 2? I played around in the BCM menu a little, didn’t find anything that stood out yet.
