    duramax in s10

    1lowdiesel, Happen to have any more pic's of that S10???? Wondering how much of the firewall had to be taken out. Good news would be that the whole thing should be ~4000-4500lbs. A 4L80E could work with this weight.

    Broke another water pump . This one is wierd ?

    If you look close enough at the brokern gear surface you should see some indications of fatigue. If that is the case, depending on how big and where it was located at would dictate how long it took to crack (not immediately, but 8 months in your case). As you mentioned, the other concern is...

    Ford is Gaining

    Anyone know what transmission is in there? When shooting for 9's or even 10's, the discussion usually moves from rods being weak and needing changed, to which tranny you using (keep Allison / go with Duraflight).

    Allison 6sp: Swap Allison for???

    Would that be one of those things (T/H) that the Allison dealer could fix for you? Just trying to think outside the box of ways to address some of the issues with the TCM's. Who knows, maybe this is how Suncoast was able to make the 5 speed TCM into a 6 speed TCM in their 6 speed kits?

    Allison 6sp: Swap Allison for???

    Stupid question then .... what's the difference between the TCM in a 4500 and the 2500/3500's? Does GM put a Duramax in the 4500's? If so, are there any ways to either reflash a 2500/3500 to a 4500 or vice versa? Trying to think if any of these would be possible with any of the vintages of...

    Passlock II issues

    Did a lot of reading on Pass Lock trying to help a buddy with a 99 Grand Prix. I realize that this is not quite the same animal, but in all the reading ... it seems as though the lock cyclinder in the column was wearing out. Thus it didn't match what the BCM was looking for. Turning off the...

    LLY: EFILive DVT's...broken...?

    For what it worth ... Ben thought it was Cyl #7 with EFI Live but with the Tech 2 it was actually Cyl #3. From the prevoius confusion that the gasser guys were having ... the difference was using the firing order vs. cylinder order. My stab in the dark on the Duramax issue - When you...

    LLY: EFILive DVT's...broken...?

    Ben, Were you able to determine if it is just a mis-understanding on which cylinder is which with EFI Live? From what little I've read, EFI Live's numbering doesn't quite match what we would expect. Maybe they can update what the EFI Scan is telling us?

    LLY: EFILive DVT's...broken...?

    Note sure if this is the issue, but I "think" that there has been some confusion about which cylinder is which with EFI Live on the DVT controls. http://forum.efilive.com/showthread.php?14065-Bi-directional-control-injector-cut&highlight=cylinder+numbering

    06 LBZ into a 02 Suburban Questions

    Ben will probably also be a very good resource for comparing the years of trucks and the necessary evils of GMLan, CAN, BCM, etc... My guess right now is that you will end up having at least all the dash, the BCM, and of course the ECM / TCM for your 06 somewhere in the Suburban (almost as a...

    Idea for trans cooler

    It's all heat. So, if you can plumb it up and maintain the fluid level in the pan without adding extra airation (spelling?) to the tranny fluid, yes it will work. You are simply adding on an extra cooler. Although it is actually, an extra pump, lines and cooler. Now, how much extra...

    D60 time for the Dmax

    Here's a set of posts from over on Pirate4x4.com which details a guy installing the XXX lift kit on his D'max. http://pirate4x4.com/forum/showthread.php?t=796788&page=1

    Dmax1 needs a sponsor

    That mean the hood has a single elongated hole in it, or a U shaped slot? Also curious about how well it cleared the cowl.

    How bad is the spool time with those big monsters on there? Either DD mode or launching.

    Dmax1 needs a sponsor

    Do you happen to have any pictures of how you did your stack? I'm guessing that the 2nd battery is gone and that it goes out the hood? Just wondering how much hacking / clearancing you had to do to get it to fit / work.

    Fuel lab pump installed

    If you don't mind us asking, where did you get it from and about how much was the setup (pump, filter & regulator).

    Duraflite

    Wonder why are the convert clutches going on the launch? Clutches set too tight? Converter ballooning? Just thinking out loud here ...

    Caterpillar

    C7 has good internals, but you really can't use / abuse them as much as you can a Duramax. The key is that we have EFI Live ... the C7 doesn't really have much. Also, as was mentioned, the HEUI works OK, but has it's down sides too. As for fitting one in a pickup, check the dimensions. The...
