LB7: Reg cab build

[DAVe3283]

Been a long road but motor is done and in.Trans and wireing will be tommorrow and il pick away at the fuel lines and cell durring the week.Really happy with the way this one worked out and these ma mounts solid..WOW.

Yeah, I have the MA mounts as well, and it was actually kind of tricky to get everything lined up so I could bolt it in. They do keep the motor from torquing around and popping boots off charge pipes, which was my problem before.

The motor is bolted in with no trans and it wont budge at all.I ended up with strobelights pulling mounts with no bushing and custom insert.Its TIGHT!

ITS ALIVE:woott:I cant believe its finally running and sounding great.Time for Mark to work his magic and see what it can do.MBRP,S dyno event is in a couple weeks and excited to hopefully put down some decent #,s.A ton of work still left but all the hard work payed off.

Sweet! I still remember the feeling when my built motor started for the first time. So nice when it all comes together!

Sounds good at idle but when the rpm is brought up a bit its pretty rough.Its still stock tuned so i hope it smoothes out and i didnt f*ck somthin up.have some codes but half the stuff is still unhooked.Il post a vid in the morning so those smarter than i can have a listen.

 

[dirtydmax]

Was able to pull a couple codes and i think im in fuel limp.p0182 and p0168 high fuel temp.Could these codes cause a limp situation?

 

[WVRigrat05]

High fuel temp will limit rail pressure to 10k max, went through that in my black truck.

 

[dirtydmax]

The truck seemed to fire super easy for never being run and idled smooth.first thing i thought was i fkd up timing or repinning for the af cam but i did triple check before closing it up.I swaped fuel temp sensors and checked voltage at the the fuel temp plug and both sides are dead.no blown fuses.Any ideas?

 

[WVRigrat05]

Mine was from having too much injector return making the fuel too hot below a quarter tank, I was unaware the injectors were bad as balance rates were prefect. I put in a race plug and no more limping or codes.

I'm not sure what's going on with yours. Wiring issues is sadly one big thing I suck at, but I've luckily never had an issue with.

I did plug a couple things in backwards at the cp3 once but only issues I've had.

 

[dirtydmax]

Im thinking if i some how screwed up the wireing it shouldnt have started that easy and idled smooth.Il make a call to Mark on mon and see if tuning helps.Thanks for the replys.

Eh...you needed better tires anyway, right?

Kids ALWAYS think burnouts and "going fast" is hilarious. :roflmao:

Time for new rims and rubber so one last blast before it went away for the winter.Shop neighbors have been bugging me for months to roast the bologna skins off.Daughter thinks its funny from about 50 ft but any closer she runs.
