    Considering DD'ing 350k mile LB7?

    I guess you get what you pay for haha. First turned the new Tech 2 on and I could hardly read the screen because of white lines running up and down it. Messed around with contrast, turning it on/off, etc. finally got frustrated and hit it once, and it was readable for a second but then went...

    Considering DD'ing 350k mile LB7?

    So I got my “tech 2”, in the next week or two I am going back down to finish this never ending project I plan to start with figuring out how the fricken thing works, then checking that there’s no lockout security issues If that’s fine, I figure diving into fuel and monitoring desired vs...

    Y Bridge bolt holes??

    Those are all issues from the same shop? And you’re taking it back there? I know we only have a small portion of the big picture being this is the internet and all, but I’d be looking at having the original shop pay a new shop to fix it right. I understand wanting to have them stand by their...

    Considering DD'ing 350k mile LB7?

    What about the knock off pirated Tech 2’s? I rented a V2 years ago from ATP when I tuned my LBZ, maybe I can just do that again while I figure it out... I could also knock out the tunes at that time. I’d love to buy one, but there’s other more important things ahead of that

    Considering DD'ing 350k mile LB7?

    Any suggestions on a home gamer model that will get the job done with j a budget? I hate to turn it over to a shop for the last mile, but it might be at that point due to all the circumstances

    Considering DD'ing 350k mile LB7?

    So that’s slightly different than the two ways I tried, and I don’t know when I’ll be back to try again unfortunately. I was really hoping I would wrap up and just hit that key and have it jump to life... but, I also realize the truck was doing the same thing before I even started this whole...

    Considering DD'ing 350k mile LB7?

    Not much of an update... same thing in the morning after letting it sit all night. Although going to bed I was thinking about it and realized I never plugged in the fuel rail pressure sensor. Got that plugged in, no change. I tried using my old original key I got the truck with and doing the...

    Considering DD'ing 350k mile LB7?

    So I finally got it to a point where I’m ready to start it. But... like an idiot I dropped the wrench setting up the passenger battery and it arcd pretty good. When I crank it says security, and then alternates between security and battery. I tried disconnecting both negative terminals...

    Considering DD'ing 350k mile LB7?

    Thanks. That’s kinda what I figured and why I hadn’t done it yet.

    Considering DD'ing 350k mile LB7?

    oh I need input - I swapped in a brand new AC Delco balancer, and I forgot in my parts stash at some point I bought one of those crank key fixing kits, where you can drill and tap the crank and balancer so it doesn’t spin. Is it even worth it at my sub 450hp power goals? I don’t remember why I...

    Considering DD'ing 350k mile LB7?

    Finally got a weekend coming up where I can get back on this thing. I fly to it Friday night and out Sunday night, but I think this is finally the weekend I get it started and can actually drive it down the street at least. I want to stay organized so here’s a list of the remaining items...

    Basic - power windows/locks/remote swap?

    The auto climate is the dial type. On the 03+ digital I know there's sensors all over the cab and swapping that is more work than it's worth. Where are the temp sensors for the old dial style? I've got a fan speed or two out on the LB7, so if swapping over some of the Burb's climate stuff...

    Basic - power windows/locks/remote swap?

    I've got an 02 LB7 strip model with manual everything. As my 02 2500 Suburban starts to need more and more work I'm considering stripping it for parts. The Burb is fully loaded with auto climate, power/heated seats, on star, etc. To start, is the Burb BCM and wiring harness even compatible...

    LLY - LB7 Swap

    Little off topic... but I thought after they went canbus in 03+ harnesses were the same? What’s the difference between 03/04 and 05?

    Aftermarket Flexible Engine Dipstick

    Gear star is advertising a flexible tube and stick on their site for some of their transmissions. I’d give them a call and see if they can help.

    03 LB7 security light

    I have nothing helpful to add, but I just want to say that I’m always blown away by the knowledge on here. I love reading through threads like this to learn Dndj, what book are you posting pictures of?

    Considering DD'ing 350k mile LB7?

    It really wasn’t too bad, but definitely take some pictures along the way! I didn’t do a good enough job of that. The difficulty definitely is coming from the swap. Thank you, I really can’t wait to drive this thing again.

    Considering DD'ing 350k mile LB7?

    I was just thinking, since I need to clear the valley and get the intake horn off the turbo anyway, do you think I’d be able to pull the turbo out with the stock down pipe attached? That might save me some big money if I can get that out and then work on removing the down pipe on the work bench.

    Considering DD'ing 350k mile LB7?

    Haha sure, instead of “hey Alexa” you’re turning into “hey Dave” for Duramax part numbers. That’s exactly what I was looking for. Ordered a new cable from the alternator to that box previously, but then went to replace it at the box and it had fried something and melted part of the box and...

    Considering DD'ing 350k mile LB7?

    Thanks for the help man. While I got you here, do you happen to know what the red jumper box that ties into battery and alternator is called/part #? I just want to get this damn thing back from the dead. I think I may sell off my 2500 Suburban and use the money to finally just wrap this...
