Thank you very much!!!! I've heard so much about these rates but nobody could explain to me how they correspond to each other so I would know what the hell I was looking at! You just brought it all into focus for me, WOW! I was a Steam Power plant engineer for 20+ years. The plant was fully...

Yes it's an Edge cts, had EFI on the brain at the time. Can you help me with the B/R correction? Also where should the fuel rate usually ?run Thanks for the info. Not pickin' on the LB7 exclusively seems like all the common rail diesels have their days! LOL. I come from the days of all you...

I should have mentioned that I've already installed a PPE lift pump by the tank and replaced all the fuel lines from the tank to the engine, also dropped and cleaned the tank itself. I don' t get so much as tiny bubble of air from the fuel system. I've learned the hardway(LOL) to check for air...

The frustration continues...... Gonna need some help with this one. It ran good for a couple of days so I decided to try out my new PPE tuner. I chose position 2 tow haul (90 hp increase). It ran great after, in fact I was pretty impressed with the throttle response, the increased acceleration...

After the hair pulling experience of getting a LB7 to start after changing the CP3, I came to the conclusion: If you don't have your toungue in the exact proper place in your left cheek it's not going to start! LOL If it wasn't for my OBD II having a FRP readout on live data I would still be...

Yeah that would be good idea to do while I've got all the stuff out of the way. I'm changin' both hoses @ the CP3 anyway (they are bit soft) Thanx

Theferminator: No I didn't do the beaker thing, however I did what a guy did on a YT vid. I cut the return to the tank near the installed lift pump, then put a piece of hose on the eng. side of the line and placed it in a paint meas. cup , blocked the other side, used the lift pump make sure...

The heat thing is probably engineered into the newer engines, but I come from a time where I was trained to work on '70s era Detroits 3/53 - 12V/92TT, 250 -450v8 NA Cummins, V12 air cooled Continentals, and White turbo Multifuels They all but the White ran CRs of 22-24:1 Even my '84 Diesel...

Hello! I've got a similar prob on my 02 LB7. The LP side is air free, Disconnected FPR no change, Return rate checks out, installed elec lift pump, worked for awile then died when i let off the throttle once, will not restart. Cracked #1 inj nut and turned over w/hood closed (for obviose...

I have a '02 GMC 2500 powered by LB7/Allison and a '65 Sport Fury I'm doin' a Gen3 hemi swap on. I do LS swaps and build stand alone harnesses. The latest is a '84 El Camino w/ '03 5.3/4L60E, long tube headers and exh that dumps out thru the panel just before rear tires. runs great!

Hi all you people who eat, breathe, and live for anything internal combustion! look forward to chatin' with you. I'm a 58 year old gear head who likes heavy metal and goin' fast.
