    Stolen LLY in Colorado

    Definitely sorry to hear about the truck. I've know two guys get their trucks stolen. One was in the Lakewood area and the other was over by Broomfield. Both trucks turned up abandoned with significant mechanical and interior damage. One was found over by Auroa and the other was at a...

    Turbo Rebuild Kit

    Kinda in the same boat and weighing to rebuild the valley turbo or replace it. From my travels it seems like a fair amount of people have good experiences with the KB Diesel Performance rebuild kit. I haven't been able to find anything on longevity. I've considered upgrading to RDS/DDP/ etc but...

    LLY Project Truck Build Thread

    The previous owner had no clue what he was doing which was genuinely saddened by having to sell the truck because he couldn't afford to fix it. Kind of felt bad for him but he definitely made his bed. Its definitely a beautiful color, from the ad it looked black. I was pleasantly surprised...

    LLY Project Truck Build Thread

    Hey guys, I’ve been around for quite a while and this forum has been huge for me. I finally have something decent to contribute back. This will be a somewhat drawn out build thread and I’ve been known to be long winded, haha. I’ve bought my first Duramax in 2009, 05 LLY CCSB and did BPU mods w/...

    Changing setup, need opinions.

    A 68vgt should get you right at or super near 700 whp fairly easily. My old duramax did 783 with a 72vgt at 7k elevation so I can’t see 700 being too out of spec for a 68vgt. But I feel your pain on the truck. I sold my built motor truck because all it did was sit around too. Also shameless...

    Stolen duramax found

    Might be a bent/broken injector hold down. You should be able to see them from the top without pulling too much off. Is it throwing any codes?

    Stolen duramax found

    This is why I stopped driving my duramax down here (I work in Northern Colorado). I had a buddy who had his half ton chevy (04) stolen from Brighton, and another buddy found it at a construction site down in denver a week later. They destroyed the interior, swapped his rims and stole the cats...

    Promaxx Heads - Thoughts?

    For that price I would just do Socal Stage 1 heads. $2300 for the pair if you send in core. $3300 without cores. Socal is an extremely reputable company and cornerstone of Duramax performance...

    Best PreBuilt Transmission Brands

    Inglewood by far number one choice. I'd stay away from ATS. Something else that would be considered is proximity to your builder. Shipping a trans is kind of a pain in the butt (know that from experience). I hear SDP and DHD build a solid trans as well.

    Anyone “overland” ?

    Keith at Dirty Deeds makes 12 hole injectors for the 2UZ that offers some relatively promising increases. Going to try some when I take the truck down for timing belt this winter. http://dirtydeedsindustries.com/product/fuel-injectors/

    Anyone “overland” ?

    They did but they're relatively hard to find and go for 3-7k depending on condition and how complete they are.

    Anyone “overland” ?

    Does your land cruiser have the 4.7 2UZ? I have a 01 Tundra and its the same deal. I absolutely love to drive it but power and mileage leaves alot to be desired. Sad part is there's not much that can be done about it outside of full engine swap

    LB7 Injectors - Anyone have receipts on this in the Colorado Springs/Front Range area?

    It’s going to depend vastly depending on the shop. Most are pretty busy right now. I know of a couple reputable ones you could call and get an estimate/lead time depending on your location. For example Diesel Day Dreams in Northglen is usually a month or two out. LB7 injectors are a bit...

    Solid fan hub thread

    You have my attention. I’d be interested in one for sure, maybe more for the other trucks in the family

    Just look up the manual on edges website. I just did but it wouldn’t let me copy and paste from their site

    Do I need a Fuel Sump?

    I don't think you'd see any performance gains. I didn't see any at 800+ when I swapped from stock pickup to sump on my old truck.

    Crank but no start

    Not sure how cold it is where you live, But I had an issue a couple winters ago where my truck started and got a couple miles from home before dying. Turned out the fuel filter was gelled up.

    What do you guys do for home shop oil/fluid storage?

    Same as above, rags and garage clothes go to the laundry mat. The laundry mat in town has dedicated "greaser" washing machines.
