Alaskan newb

Been lurking for a while. Decided to join up, I need to do some searching. Tim Z says this is the place to be for Dirtymax guys that are into racing, pulling, and DD performance, so I think this is the place for me.

Last week I picked up a 2001 LB7 truck. This is our 3rd D-max, the first was a 2001 single cab 3500, and the second was a 2003 crew cab 2500. Both of them had Edge Juice, and were great trucks. My plans for this truck are a little different though.

On to a quick pic of the truck. This is how I aqcuired the truck, it's been properly "riced" by the P.O. :screwy: Soon to be returned to normal.

And here it is parked next to my 11 second Silverado.

Glennallen and Palmer? How often do you get to Wasilla?(civilization) lol

Jfwy, I've got some friends that live at Lake Louise, and they have a house here in Wasilla too. I don't get up north very often, but look me up if you're in town. I'll be at the drag strip once in a while this summer too.

Oh crap, plans for the truck.....

Well, I guess that's why I'm here. To feed the addiction. My first thoughts are, fuel system upgrades, and a small tune. 100hp-ish. Wanting to keep the stock trans, improve power and economy, without going overboard.

Basically the exact same plan that I started out with for my half-ton Silvy. :rofl:

Welcome! At a 100hp your flirting with needing a trans... depending on how controlled you are with the skinny pedal

X2. Mine would limp pretty easily on my 100hp efi tune, but i was always in the throttle more then i should have been.

Welcome

I think I saw your truck once last summer at the track, but I didn't see you make a pass. That exhaust pipe is a dead giveaway! See you there!

Aww, that's not what I wanna hear! I've been known to be kinda stupid with the loud pedal.

:welcome7:

Hmm, I might know who you are. Did you buy that truck new at Tony's, and have BLKMAX plates? You'll have to stop by my shop sometime & say hi. It's up here on Lucille Street.

Well, hopefully I'll get lucky. I use HPTuners, so we shall see. Right now I have other issues to work out, mainly a P0093.

Thanks for the warm welcome guys.

Welcome to the site. Anchorage here. Hope you enjoy your Diesel crack. lol

Thanks for the warm welcome guys. I've been researching lift pumps, probably gonna be my first mod.

Started some maintenance on the ol LB7 today. Fresh oil & filter change, fuel filter, trans filter, cabin air filter, etc. Also put a set of stock headlamps & tails in, a bunch of new bulbs, and started debadging. Still needs upper ball joints, and the rear prop shaft joints are SHOT!! Once I get those in, I'll start driving her. :angel:
