    2007 LBZ Leaf Springs

    LOL Great point however, I think I misrepresented that a little. He was talking about internet purchases, not forums or advice. :)

    2007 LBZ Leaf Springs

    Hey guys. Great advice to find a local suspension shop. I found a local shop that has done nothing but suspension repairs for decades. I had a five minute chat with the owner and he knows what he's doing. Same day service and without even seeing the truck he gave me a worst case swag of...

    LBZ Preventive Maintenance

    Hello all. I have a 2007 LBZ 2500HD short bed crew cab that just hit 200K. It's all stock except for a Banks high flow intake and Banks full exhaust. We've been very happy with this workhorse and have had very few issues. From day one we have never missed the typical maintenance like oil...

    2007 LBZ Leaf Springs

    Hello all. Need some insight here on good quality replacement or upgraded springs. A lot of good names out there like Hellwig, BDS, etc. Our 2500HD Crew Cab short bed with 200K is sagging on the left rear. I'm more interested in quality than going cheap. Although 90% of our truck usage doesn't...

    2007 LBZ Allison Won't Shift

    Thanks Mike! Will do and I'll order that shifter if I can't repair the wire. We drove the truck four hours home today with 3K lbs of cargo in the bed while trailering another 7K lbs and the TCM codes have not returned. However, it did throw a random P0401 EGR code but I cleared that as well. I...

    2007 LBZ Allison Won't Shift

    Thanks Mike L. You have been a great help on this forum and saved me some money and hassles already. I know that you know what you are talking about but for my understanding, could you please elaborate on how those codes lead to a new shifter? (I assume you mean the actual shift lever on the...

    2007 LBZ Allison Won't Shift

    Update: My new scanner pulled the four TCM codes below (one is a duplicate). I cleared them and then drove the truck all over the place and it's like it never happened. Runs and shifts perfectly. What do you guys think? Thanks in advance! - P0751 "Shift solenoid A Performance/Stuck off" -...

    2007 LBZ Allison Won't Shift

    Thanks Dozerboy. We did try that and no joy. We go to this property pretty often so if there ends up being a parts delay I guess it will be ok. I just hope my new scanner will give me enough details so that I'm not chasing my tail!

    2007 LBZ Allison Won't Shift

    Thanks Bdanskey. I like your last reply, makes sense. I think I am doing more of wishful thinking on these solenoids. I'll just be patient I guess and pull the codes first. I appreciate you guys advice. :)

    2007 LBZ Allison Won't Shift

    Thank you guys. I've got the new scanner coming tomorrow. Not sure how long these solenoids last but if one is failing it just seems like others could fail soon but I could be wrong. I'm a big fan of "while you are at it" preventive measures if I'm tearing something apart that doesn't need to...

    2007 LBZ Allison Won't Shift

    Thank you TheBac. I found a shift solenoid kit with all 7 GM OEM solenoids for $219. I also ordered a scanner that can read TCM codes. Just a bump here to see if I can get any more insight on the rest of the questions. If I do drop the tranny pan what else would you guys recommend while I’m...

    2007 LBZ Allison Won't Shift

    Hello folks. I have a 2007 LBZ with 200K. All stock except Banks full exhaust and intake. Looking for some info here to get me going in the right direction. It popped a check engine light just before making a four hour trip from one property to another late Friday evening. Drove it about 4...

    Brakes and Power Steering Dead

    Thank you Ron. That's good to know. I assume that this would also impact the Hydro Boost wiping out the brakes?

    Brakes and Power Steering Dead

    Hasn't been flushed since we have owned it but it's getting flushed Wednesday this week. We have put about 80K on it since we bought it. It will be on the schedule from here forward. For Cougar281 - Both not totally dead. They both died and then came back to life after a loud click noise when...

    Brakes and Power Steering Dead

    Hello all. 2007 2500HD Classic LBZ. I searched quite a few forums and never really saw any complete answers but saw plenty of posts about both brake and power steering failing together. Pretty scary stuff to say the least. Anyway, we went to back out of the driveway one morning and that's what...
