    2.8 Baby Max High Horsepower Hardware / Performance Parts

    Research Update Allright guys an update on what I've found so far. The minimax (i4), is actually built by VM Motori, which GM used to have a 50% ownership stake in. That said, they were bought out sometime around 2013, but they were able to hold on to manufacturing right of the A428, which is...

    2.8 Baby Max High Horsepower Hardware / Performance Parts

    All, After some preliminary research this engine has been used for a very long time, so I will be doing some research on more aftermarket options on earlier versions and possibly even sourcing an engine that way, although I believe the head would be something I would need to change to...

    2.8 Baby Max High Horsepower Hardware / Performance Parts

    I will do a build thread of course for everyone to see (and learn from my mistakes of course). Right now obviously there are "twin turbo" kits which are actually compound turbo kits, like I've said above I've seen increased volume injectors, Head studs, and carillo rods, but if I or anyone else...

    2.8 Baby Max High Horsepower Hardware / Performance Parts

    Hello all, I'm in the middle of a custom build that doesn't need to be on a heavy duty truck frame and am considering a 2.8 LWN as the power plant in lieu of the 75k mile duramax I bought for it. The motor is drop in ready, but to build an LBZ would "in theory" cost twice as much in parts...

    8 x 170 Axle Shaft

    Thanks everyone for the replies. I think what ill do is get started with the adapters and maybe down the road drill the hubs. If the sterling axle rotors has similar dimensioning it's possible they would work with 14 bolt but it's highly unlikely

    8 x 170 Axle Shaft

    Anyone know of anyone making axle shafts with 8 x 170 bolt patterns for the 11.5 inch? I'm using one of my spare rears that will be paired with one of my f250 axle patterns and would like to swap the axle shafts for ford pattern shafts if anyone makes them or swap axle shafts from a ford rear...

    LBZ Standalone Harness

    Hello All, I'm in the middle of an LBZ swap into a 4 door Jeep conversion w/ a flatbed, full roll cage, roof rack, etc. All custom. I bought a 75k mile donor vehicle which had electrical issues due to the wreck (couldn't get comms between the ECM (which was hit in the accident), BCM, and...

    Know how to build a wiring harness?

    Did anyone run into security issues when building their own harness? I'm concerned it will not start without ecm tuning since normally the truck wants to communicated between all the different modules BCM TCM ECM etc. I'm swapping over my lbz and am concerned once i've gone through and...

    LBZ no glow plug light, no crank

    Hello this is my first post and my first duramax. I bought the truck, which had front end damage, but it didn't seem too bad as in the rad was bent back along with the A frame but the frame look generally pretty good minus I will need to weld on new body mounts that got bent and the front six...
