    LLY engine swap - light duty to medium duty

    Well, I sent my buddy all the info and the pix from that great write-up and it appears that the LLY motors have the tabs on them for medium duty or light duty trucks...so he dodged a bullet there. The injectors are different between the two so, the salvage place was correct that he would need...

    07 gmc classic front bumper to 07 chevy classic

    Just wondering if a bumper off a 07 classic GMC will fit my 07 classic chevy? I absolutely hate the plastic top half of my bumper.....it takes a lot of rinsing with a hose to get mud and cow crap to stop running down(out from under) the plastic on the ends of the bumper. I don't know anybody...

    LLY engine swap - light duty to medium duty

    Hey fellas, this is a question for a friend of mine. He has an 06 medium duty(5500) tow truck with a blown LLY motor. He just purchased a LLY out of a 04 2500 wreck (BTW he got the motor for $1500.00 delivered to his shop - motor has 87k miles on it). Other than the obvious stuff like oil...

    Turbo Manager questions, help me beat a dead horse.

    x2 on what Ed said. When I replaced my GM-3 with a GM-8 it had a shiny, new Heath TM on it...so I left it and did not use my homemade one. The TM is made properly and the action is much smoother and is a set-it-and-forget-it design. Boost does not just fall off like mine did. It's set to 12...

    Looking at an 07 LBZ

    unfortunately, that was probably a one time shot to Rockmart. I have made a couple of trips to Acworth though.

    Looking at an 07 LBZ

    Hey Marauderer, I just realized looking at your sig, I drove right through your neck of the woods a year ago. Was delivering a Case skid steer to Haney Tractor in Rockmart - and brought back a Case Tractor. I think I took 285 to 278/6 IIRC It's a small world!

    Looking at an 07 LBZ

    One other thing I forgot to mention is my continued surprise at how fast this truck is when I need it. I normally drive pretty much like an old man but every now and then I need to mash the long pedal on the right and, wow! these things will set you back in the seat like a fast sports car. I...

    Looking at an 07 LBZ

    No major updates - still really enjoying it. Getting solid 18.5-19.5 mpg to and from work. Put it on the highway last week for my first ever long trip. Logged right at 1k miles. Hit 22mpg on one tank on the interstate running the speed limit. Averaged over the entire trip 20.7 mpg. Running a...

    Installing an EGR Blocking Plate, Finger Stick, PCV Reroute.

    How do you like the sound with the resonator gone? I did not like mine at all - could not hear the compressor whine anymore and the engine had a loud growl to it. After about two trips I put the resonator back on....she was whistlin' Dixie again!

    EGR?

    Just curious, why did you have to pay $100.00 on your initial visit to the dealer? Smitty While we're on the topic of dealers, I've never trusted the service writers - a friend of mine has made a good living ripping people off as a SW. I've told him before that I don't know how he can sleep...

    Ok here is the deal...all suggestions welcome!

    If you know how to use an ohm meter - just ohm out the GP's right in the truck. My ole girl would crank fine in our warm southern temps down here with half of her GP's working - would smoke a little on startup. One morning she would not crank - and it was only about 50-60 degrees out. Checked...

    2007 lbz 2500 rims

    ahhh, gotcha. Probably just a non-OEM rim then.

    2007 lbz 2500 rims

    sorry, I always forget at least one detail. They are aluminum. I thought I remember the 3500 and up had a wider rim.....hmmm I'll have to do some more research.

    2007 lbz 2500 rims

    hopefully someone here is somewhat of a guru when it comes to stock wheels. Hopefully I can ask/explain this question without pictures but can take some later if needed. The left front wheel on my 07 lbz is different from the other three. The holes in the rims on the other three (and every...

    Need an Allison Spin On

    I was going to pick one up from the dealer (got a buddy that works the parts counter and usually I can get a pretty good deal on most items - especially exterior parts). Anyway, my "special" price was around $30.00 each! yikes! He said the regular price was $52.00 - told him no thanks. I...

    What the... (Blackhawk Gearless Ratchet)

    That thing looks to be in pretty good condition. I have some old blackhawk stuff (not sure how old)....a 3/8" pull handle/breaker bar and a couple of wrenches.....none of my Blackhawk tools have much chrome on them.....looks like the original process (to apply chrome) was poor and very thin.

    Poor towing mileage?

    Gotcha - yeah, some of those Kiefer's are pretty heavy.
