    It's done

    I've abandoned that project do to lack of funds. Honestly if someone would give me half of what I have invested to date I'd push it to their house! IF I knew the economy was gonna take a dumper as bad as it has I never in a million years would have NEVER even started it. It's a huge lose right...

    Head gaskets... again...

    IMO if you lost another headgasket at the power levels you are running something was done wrong when it was repaired. I know this WILL not be a popular response and not saying something was done maliciously,things happen. To say a head is OK by a naked eye isn't the correct way to check it...

    How Strict is GM with Mods to the LMM?

    Not sure it was a suggestion If there is NO history stored in the ECM as far as regeneration ,hours and or miles then it wouldn't make a difference. I know for instance there is a run time If regeneration occurs as you say it has to get it's data from somewhere. IF after regeneration...

    How Strict is GM with Mods to the LMM?

    It would seem to me that's why I asked that someone could not only swap ECM's but swap out the cluster in a matching set. :nono: Personally this is what I would do. In any case for most warranty work you wouldn't have to worry about anything . But if your trying to get over on something...

    How Strict is GM with Mods to the LMM?

    Interesting information on the Regen'd. How is it miss matched? How is it in the regeneration process logged? Is there a set regeneration program in the ECM for so many hours or miles? Thus it wouldn't match?

    What's in your Allison?

    A lot of these problems can be associated with your driving style and the Allison adaptive learn. Drew I would try a different tune perhaps it may be your tune causing this a easy test would be to return to stock and drive it and see how it shifts. You can also put your Allison in fast...

    What tuning are you running?

    I don't turn mine down in the winter months. Then again I don't drive on wet roads,snow covered roads or icy conditions. :D Having a big tune and run ability is no different then stock IMO. Once the truck is up to operating temperature it has no concern to ambient temperatures. The only...

    I'm gonna cry on your shoulders

    Pretty much. I will admit my aggressiveness in driving and willingness to just ease the seat back and enjoy the ride resulted in over ratcheting the El'Cheap'o straps causing them to fail played a major roll in all that happened. There,I feel better. :D

    I'm gonna cry on your shoulders

    Although the limited HD paint scheme I had stood out and was somewhat unique my plans down the road was to have the bike custom painted. I've had many compliments on the current paint scheme even at HD dealers. Even the dealers have asked me if it's HD paint. Eventually I was going to do what...

    I'm gonna cry on your shoulders

    Unfortunately everything was a last minute rush to get necessary items like tie down straps. Basically I went to a local Chinese supplier of durable goods,Autozone,and bought ratchet straps. Between the cheap ratchet straps and my aggressive driving apparently spelled disaster! :nono: The...

    Trailer help needed

    How old is the trailer and do you know if it was bought new or used? What kind of suspension does it have? Have you pulled the tires and checked the spindles and wheel bearings? That's fairly simple.Unless both axles or spindles are bent why would it scuff all four tires? It is a weird problem...

    auto headlamp question

    The BCM is located just above the brake pedal connected at the lip of the bottom of the dash towards the steering wheel. That's where it is a 01 probably the same location in later years
