If you get it just right with a tad bit of force the down pipe will come right out the top on the drivers side.
LB7: New Industrial Injection silver bullet
- Thread starter JustinD
- Start date
Well we just quit for the night, got all the up pipes and down pipe off, we had to jack the cab up off the chassis a bit to get the dp off.....
up pipe bolts fought us every step of the way. Tomorrow we can unbolt the stock turbo and swap CP3's and start putting the new stuff on:thumb: Hopefully it goes back together easier than it came apart.
Big Thanks to Chris (Duramax racer 8) for busting his balls all night on it. Also Dale (dmaxbowtie) for all his help too.

Everyone I talked to said it wasn't too bad, well they have never met my truck, if it can go wrong it will.
We should have it running today, any other nightmares I might run into??
Thanks for the info guys, I'll keep you updated.
Looks good, keep at it and don't let it kick your ass.
I know my pickup has anyway.:roflmao:
Do all II phatshafts come polished like that?

Thanks it kicks my ass everytime............ not sure if they are all polished??
Is this a bolt in kit? The downpipe setup looks like the front pipe would need modified or am I looking at it wrong.
I did, and we heated the balls out of them all came out except one on the drivers side manifold, it broke.
Next time you tackle a job like that, use a product called Aero Kroil. Its the most amazing stuff to remove rusted and galled nuts and bolts.
Dido :thumb::roflmao:
After reading/seeing your problems I think I'll just leave my turbo along.
Yeah, I didn't buy it either.:roflmao::roflmao:
Were you able to get the busted bolt out?

Its not that bad if you aren't working on a truck that has been in New England all its life with a snow plow on it since it was new, every bolt was a mutha@*&*! to get out. Just sayin!

This is great, now I can start hounding you "blk smoke lb7" !!:roflmao::roflmao:
Man, I guess I'd better order one too being everything everybody else it.
But I'd better get my transmission built before I add a turbo. That's going to be tough in northern canada.I know the feeling "JustinD", only thing you can do is keep at it until you win.
