    LB7 s475 over stock kit troubles

    Can you cut out a small section of the hood bracing for clearance? Doesn't sound like you need much room.

    Cracked turbine housing

    OK, new turbo in the valley, the Amos looked fine last time I had it apart. Still making this sound. Up pipe leak? Surge from the gate opening? Watch "Duramax rubbing sound" on YouTube Duramax rubbing sound: http://youtu.be/7ziLYvnUSK4

    Whine at idle

    Pulled the belt. Still does it. Any suggestions of things to test? I guess I can't really inspect the water pump.

    Whine at idle

    I have been chasing a couple issues since buying this built truck, haven't really solved much yet. This is one of them. The truck has a whine at idle when cold. You can clearly hear it in this video. When the truck warms up it goes away mostly. It doesn't seem to be the power steering since...

    Cracked turbine housing

    Another update and looking for advice. I put a new turbo in the valley, a 472/87/.90. It definitely spools faster. still making that Damn sound. I really don't know what it could be. It definitely sounds like something rubbing. The truck has a whine at idle, very noticeable when cold, I...

    Weight Lifting/Body Building/Strong Man/Training thread

    I have been back in the gym for the past month, used to workout 6 days a week in college, then stopped for a few years, then month on month off (only workout at work). Been out for about a year. Pretty happy with how fast it is coming back. I am 5 11 and about 165, low low body fat. Current...

    This thing is Laggy on bottom end

    Sorry, they are not Detroits, they are Hyundai Himsen. we have 6 of them, each are v16, and each are 11k hp. Probably should have worded it differently. This is a picture with two of the heads off for exhaust valve replacement. You can see the twin turbos at the end of the bank.

    Converter question

    Tow haul commands the tc to lock in second gear on up, so yes that is normal.

    This thing is Laggy on bottom end

    I will try and remember to get some pictures of our generators on board. We have 6 v16 diesels with 11k hp each. Twin turbo.

    Disabling adaptive shift learning

    An Allison shouldnt ever have a hard shift like you would have in other trans'. It will only shift so fast before you start to get shift tie ups.

    Help: LLY losing power

    Yep. Drivers side forward injector plug.#2. OP, might as well go ahead and ice pick the passenger side rear injector harness also, #7, as that one goes out sometimes as well. It is a problem with the length of harness that GM put on these two spots, it is a bit too short and pulls the...

    Converter lock up WITHOUT a lock up box

    Thats good info. I only tested it briefly since I have a lockup box that works perfectly, and could ever get it to lock as fast, always felt like it was later than it should be. I will test that out.

    Help: LLY losing power

    That problem sounds a lot more like a bad injector connector rather than the turbo vane controller. Have you ice picked the harnesses? Search for the ice pick trick. Also check the harness where it goes over the alternator bracket, the corner is sharp and can rub through wires in the harness...

    Quad cam 4 valve heads for LS motors

    That is the truth. I am into high performance boating and know exactly how true that is. Mercury's 1350 package with the m8 drive is a tad over $200k, per side. :eek:

    Cracked turbine housing

    Update on this. New comp wheel installed, flappered out the housing for the turbine side (three times now) which didn't fix the problem. I eventually pulled all the turbos and they all look fine, doesn't appear to be rubbing anywhere, but it still makes this sound anywhere close to wot. New...

    LLY: LLY max pulsewidth?

    I ran a 2250 tune for awhile without limping. A 2550 tune limped it all the time though.
