hello all I have a lml 2011 truck and was wondering if you could convert an lmm engine to fit in the lml truck. my friend has a lmm engine I can get mine broke a crank and spun a main bearing. Thanks for any help
convert lmm engine to go in lml truck
- Thread starter tommy keeton
- Start date
just put the lmm short block in and swap the rest from the lml onto the lmm block and you'll be good
Considering the harnesses needing swapped all threw the truck to make this work. Last I herd it came with a 10k price tag doing the conversion to a lmm/lbz
So to the op swap the short block or buy a new crank run some oversized bearings and just stay lml or swap the lmm short block then swap heads sensor turbo ect on to it
^^^ It was a joke....
Best bet would be to take the advice above and use the LMM lower and install the LML components on that.

Don't lmm pistons kinda melt and crack more so than others?
Dieselmafiaper.lb7 : they do not make oversized bearings for dmax just undersize.
Spun in saddles needs new caps and the mains sleeved.
That is pricey.
If you cut the caps and line bore off center you end up with excess piston potrusion and cam crank gear clearance will be too tight.
I have 10 boat anchors and have given up on fixing them.
They just go back as cores now.

So you saying line boring can't be done? Pretty sure they made larger bearings guess I'll have to look again.
Lbz/lmm crack more then lb7/lly do but I have plenty of tuned trucks not eating pistons.
And mackin my bad

Not to much compared to the other route but probably around 1 k labor ball park I'd stud it to just so you don't have to worry bout head gaskets delete the egr ect much easier to do when it's all apart
