    transfer case swap?

    Can I swap my New venture 263xhd case and guts for a 261? Mine is shot and a friend has the 261 and I can have it for free. I do very little 4wd'ing, just gettin out of mud and fields when buying hay and so forth but no offroading is ever done with this truck.

Let me ask you this, I am a diesel mechanic and have been for 27 years but have only been into a couple of automatics WAY back in the day. Is this something I could do or should i just pay Dustin, since he is local...

    Constant brake caliper/cradle rattle?

    runnnin 50 hp inj's with PPe tune

    well that would kind of defeat the purpose wouldnt it ? Why buy bigger injectors or even have a ppe tuner if you have to run it on a small tune or stock? In that case i would say screw the injectors get stock ones and crank up the ppe. 50hp injectors with no dmn tune doesnt sound like a wise...

    runnnin 50 hp inj's with PPe tune

    So could i run the 160 tune safely with plenty of power? I am planning more upgrades such as tranny and so forth so even if i can utilizr their potential right i just wanted to be sure they were ok and make sure i was not actually going backwards. If I can run the 160 tune with them and still...

    LB7 injector Q's

    this is true however condensation DOES build up in the mahifold on the lb7's!! Not only will you have rust on the inj tip but also in the lines and manifold itself. GM cleans out every line and the manifold to get rid of the rust accumalation and uses a good quality cleaner such as brake-solv...

    runnnin 50 hp inj's with PPe tune

    ok that is a very good point but I think everyone is missing my question. I am planning tranny upgrade after first of year like feb or march but, i dont want to kill my motor until then so..... Are these injectors gonna make good power as I sit now and are they gonna overfuel real bad.

    runnnin 50 hp inj's with PPe tune

    balance rates

    limits You are correct bro. GM says +/- 4 in Nuetral and +/-6 in drive with engine at operating temp. You dont have to compare any cylinders to each other like some say. #1 can be at +5 in drive and #3 could be at -4 and everything is all good. You understand what the + and - is right? + is...

    lb7 cp3

    low power from cp3 From a duramax tech at the local gm stealer, if your balance rates are good, between -4 and positive 4 on ll cylinders the pump is your problem. As ssaid before it is a large PITA and not for the faint of heart. Pensacola Diesel has them for 525 bucks with the new regulator...
