    2011 LML turbo removal help (manual calls for dropping transmission?)

    Good day everyone Well I have been hoping that my sticking valves would be a thing of the past but with a new selenoid and vane position sensor I am still getting codes. Looks like it's a new turbo in my 2011. I have done headgaskets on my LB7 myself so I should be able to tackle the turbo...

    LML Maximum tire size for 2011 on 20x9 or 18x9 +20/+25 wheels NO MODS

    Here a 285/60/20 is reported to fit using factory wheels. I wonder if it would be the same with +18 or +20 wheels http://www.dieselplace.com/forum/76-speciality-forums/124-wheels-tires/627585-new-285-60-20-goodyears-factory-20s-no-mods.html Honestly after looking at pictures of the 305's I...

    LML Maximum tire size for 2011 on 20x9 or 18x9 +20/+25 wheels NO MODS

    I found a thread online stating a 275/65/20 should fit on a +18 http://www.duramaxforum.com/forum/wheels-tires/121820-leveled-2011-lml-what-should-i-get-2.html Find that really hard to believe since it's a 34" tire. I may just stick with 18's and go 285/65/18 like he did here...

    LML Maximum tire size for 2011 on 20x9 or 18x9 +20/+25 wheels NO MODS

    This actually makes no sense they are both the same width the only difference is that the 20 is a 32.4" tire and the 18 is a 32.6" tire. So in other words the 20 inch tires would be a better fit.

    LML Maximum tire size for 2011 on 20x9 or 18x9 +20/+25 wheels NO MODS

    After some research the Duratracs are bad for rock slinging... I read an MT tire is best for not picking up small rocks and throwing them. Anyways seperate subject but I will be doing some tire research before I make a decision. Doesn't change the fact that there are way more choices in the...

    LML Maximum tire size for 2011 on 20x9 or 18x9 +20/+25 wheels NO MODS

    I use my truck for camping in the summer and put a heavy camper in the box. If I level the truck it will ride nose up and I don't want that. I am quite happy how the truck handles right now and I really don't want to lose that. With that said a couple turns on the torsion bars is not leveling...

    LML Maximum tire size for 2011 on 20x9 or 18x9 +20/+25 wheels NO MODS

    This is not what I read whatsoever concerning the 305/55/20's which are 33.2" on factory wheels with a bone stock LML. Everything I read so far involved either doing a small fender mod or cranking some on factory wheels although I read many things. I would be plenty happy with a 285/55/20 if I...

    LML Maximum tire size for 2011 on 20x9 or 18x9 +20/+25 wheels NO MODS

    I have been reading threads for the last couple nights on trying to figure out what fits and what doesn't and well I am a little cross eyed and would appreciate some help. Basically what I am looking for is NOT cranking the torsion bars as I don't want to affect the ride. Been there done...

    Spray on bedliner for utility trailer

    If LineX would be a 300 to 400$ option I would do it especially for the lifetime aspect of it. My truck bed is LineX and I love the stuff. But they charge a fortune for it too up here so I doubt it would be so cheap. Rocker guard is another option which should stand up to abuse a little bit...

    Spray on bedliner for utility trailer

    Good afternoon, Well I have a 16 foot utility trailer that I use to haul all sorts of nasty things inside and it desperately needs a paint job. In the past with my steel trailers I have simply wire wheeled as best as I could the rust and loose paint and shot a good coat of the best rust paint...

    Stainless Steel brake lines from Inline Tube leaking like a son of a ****

    Tip: If the line wrench ends up loose on the fitting. Put the wrench in the vise an close it's grip a little. This is what I did just to ensure they where not going to spin anywhere! Quality line wrenches are a must tho. China made crap isn't so good.

    Fuel tank install - Straps are going on way too tight...

    Well I took the tank off looked around to make sure nothing was getting in the way then I put it back on. It came back on the same way just as tight... I think my tank is bulged a bit from age. That's my only explanation... There is so much rust up there it's not even funny. Just replaced my...

    Replacing steering gear and pitman arm should I also install new idler arm and pivot

    Haha last alignment cost me a whole 200$ because I have played with my torsion keys and it took the alignment guy a whooping extra 30 minutes to get it dialed in. Frustrating. I will try to save me the extra dough but I guess if I have to I will. I checked the new gear I got has 3 grooves so...

    Ujoint has some minor grooves set in them

    Alright well after some research I found my answer it should be replaced. I ordered some spicer 1410 ujoints which I will be putting in. Now I wonder if I should be putting in a new tcase end seal. I just put in a new end seal in the diff.

    Ujoint has some minor grooves set in them

    Good afternoon While replacing my differential tail seal I mistakenly slipped a cover off the ujoint revealing the needle bearings and bearing surface. The surface once wiped down had some small impressions left which could be felt with a fingernail. Nothing extreme but enough that the bearing...

    Stainless Steel brake lines from Inline Tube leaking like a son of a ****

    Well after fiddling with them for another 5 hours I got them to seal at at least I am confident I did. These need to be tight and I mean freaking tight! More than I would be comfortable with on a line nut. Not all of them will end up giving you grief but in total I had 3 leaks which I had to...

    Stainless Steel brake lines from Inline Tube leaking like a son of a ****

    Alright can you tell I am frustrated? I bought a stainless steel kit simply since well it wasn't much more cash and it will never ever tarnish but boy I am regretting my decision now. I tried loosening and tightening 2 fittings I don't know how many times with no luck. One just pours and the...

    Replacing steering gear and pitman arm should I also install new idler arm and pivot

    Good day all As the title said I have ordered a new steering gear and waiting to receive it in order to determine if I need a 3 or 4 spline pitman arm. Now I would like to know if I should just go ahead and replace the idler arm and idler arm pivot at the same time. Should I get the truck...
