Coolant problem
Idk what is going on but when I fill up my reserve tank with antifreeze to the correct level it ends up spraying out of the overflow. Especially when I haul something and the motor is working harder. Idk what would cause that or how to fix it. I've been running it low bc otherwise it ends up all... -
Oil pressure
That makes complete sense! Thanks, I'm glad that there are so many helpful people on here bc otherwise I'd be lost. Normally is just ask my dad or uncle about vehicles but they don't know diesels so I'd be screwed lol -

Well I am a machinist so I'd like to say that I'm pretty good with measurements! Lol. I'll be able to put those sleeves on and get it right back to where it was... didn't really think about that hah.

At idle it's running at like 30 psi and when I give it any gas or I'm running at a steady speed it goes up to like 70 psi. Idk if that's normal or if I need to... -

It is the stock intake. I was told not to worry about a cold air intake unless I was 500hp + bc it wouldn't really do anything? Why would you recommend high flow turbo horn and boost increase valve? Like I said before I know nothing about diesels tho. Yeah I heard that the tranny is a weak...- Bjoh24

New to diesels
I gotcha now. Okay awesome, thank you for dumbing it down and explaining things so I know what you're talking about! That was extremely helpful and gives me an idea of how things work and what they are/do. I'll definitely look into this stuff. Oh, so previously you said I should get tie rod...- Bjoh24

Thanks for the info! But really, ditch the leveling kit?? I love how it looks with it on there and Idk if I could still fit 33s on it bc I already had to trim the plastic in the wheel well. The injectors were replaced at 105k miles (has 160k now) by the original owner/grandpa of the guy I got it...- Bjoh24

New to diesels
Hey guys, I just recently bought my first diesel truck... an 01 silverado LB7 EC/LB 2500hd with a leveling kit, 4" straight pipe, with a power pup bully dog chip. I know basically nothing about diesels so I was hoping some of you guys could educate me a little bit. I'd like to know the...- Bjoh24
