Rob created a new subforum in Hard Parts for the LM2 3.0, for when the tech questions start coming in about this engine....

220 coolant temp when it’s 21* out.
31 but it isn't that much of a difference. I've read that it runs pretty hot to keep emissions happy though.
That's correct, it does run hot due to emissions and a bunch of high tech stuff in it. Also has aluminium block with the iron cylinder inserts.
LB7 water temp wasn't accurate, my L5P isn't either. I'm sure it runs hotter but he was reading the guage I doubt it was 220.
And a belt driven oil pump that requires replacement at 150k miles which requires trans removal to do. Was watching a vid on it the other day and this blew me away that they're using a wet belt to run the oil pump when everything else is chains.
I have the 3.0 now and seems to be great so far. I wish it had a few things done different but over all great truck. Tank holds 24???? payload 1870- check link below for your model

no different that the damn I5 they had in the first gen colorados and i think the I6 had in the trailer blazers but they were chain. at about the 150k mark, they start getting loose and chattery
So I installed a 6" Fa Tech lift on the LM2. The lift includes Fa Tech coil overs on the front. This lift kit for the LM2 just came out and I was told I was the first to have it installed. Also has a light bar inside the grill that has amber running lights as well. The rear tail light bar is a Putco tail gate light bar.

I really hope fabtech got their engineer team on point. They built sturdy stuff but geometry was all over the place.
Shocks are “meh” as well but only if you are wanting to push them like a fox or king shock could be. Most people won’t have that issue. They are a step up from fox silver cheap shocks though

Yes, prior to release for the LM2, they did a lot of testing. It's a full 6″ PERFORMANCE SYSTEM W/ FRONT DIRT LOGIC 2.5 RESI COILOVERS & REAR DIRT LOGIC 2.25 SHOCKS
