    03 LB7 swap to LBZ

    One piece drive shaft. I pulled the driveshaft, U-Joints seem to be okay? I greased the yoke inside and out. It seemed to get a little bit better, but it is very much, still present. I'll check the motor mounts next. Hauled the RV quite a bit over the holiday week, LBZ purrs along...

    03 LB7 swap to LBZ

    Almost 8k miles on the swap, it has developed a strange behavior that I am struggling with. When slowing down and coming to a stop, the truck seems to jump, after it stops. It's almost like there is tension built up in the driveline that gets released right after coming to a stop...

    Info: Chrome painting

    Chrome can be painted, like any other metal. I just lightly sandblast it, then prime and paint as any other surface. I did my 03 that way back in 07, they have held up just fine.

    Looking at getting a Duramax

    The never ending "which engine family is better debate", what the hell, I'll chime in. I often wonder how many people actually KNOW how long a set of LB7 injectors last, I see a lot of people throwing numbers out there, and in my opinion they exaggerate on the plus side. My LB7 had 336,000...

    What do y'all think?

    Any Dmax, is better than any powerstroke.

    What do y'all think?

    Yeah, lot's of doom and gloom here. My 03 has 340,000 on the body. The LB7 that is was born with was pulled at 332,000ish? Only because I was tired of putting injectors in it, it still pulled my 38' 5th wheel just fine. As MikeL said, the trans my be suspect, as mine required a new output...

    Hood/fender gap

    Panel alignment can be a pain in the butt, you say the fender is low to the hood, but how is it to the door? (gap consistency and feature line alignment) If the fender is good to the door, the issue is with your hood. If the fender is bad to the door and hood both, then yeah, you are...

    Another shift range inhibit....

    The last time I had that issue, it was the seal at the rear of the trans. Trans fluid was leaking past it, into the transfer case. Sometimes the Allision would check low on fluid, the next day it was high. I found the problem by pulling the fill plug on the T case, it was extremely overfull...

    Cadillac CTS-V

    My youngest son has a 12 sedan, it spent the winter in my shop. I have a fair amount of time working on it. His is the LSA supercharged motor. Sweet car, it never ceases to amaze me.

    GM MDI Multiple Diagnostic Interface

    Tech II is pretty much worthless on my 2015 Denali. Has anyone had any luck getting a MDI up and functional, outside of a GM dealership? If so,what software are you running? And what OS on the PC, I've heard only WIN7? Thanks...

    LB7: '03 LB7 Value with Trans

    Yeah, I had plans of keeping my LB7 and swapping it into a 1965 C10 truck. But my shop is small and I do not have room to store things for a "I hope to" project at some future point in time. Sold the whole kit and kaboodle.

    Steering column swap -- LBZ into LB7

    I removed the EGR and cooler, blocked off that stuff. Used the up pipe from the LB7. I wish I would have cleaned the vane position sensor on my LBZ, its throwing codes now. I bought a complete replacement turbo, but it would have been much easier to swap over, with the motor out of the...
