    Weird problem that is stumping me p0116, p2155

    Hey guys, been awhile but honestly, my lbz has been the most reliable truck I've owned. On my way back from a thanksgiving week camping/atv trip to Fat Daddys ATV park outside of Waycross, GA (about 2 hr. 20 min trip), towing my 21 foot enclosed toy hauler at capacity (7k), the passenger side...

    P150C-00, U0101, C0055, C0201

    Hey Guys, been many moons since I've posted anything on TTS. That is mainly because my d-max has been trouble free for 250k miles now. Anyway, was 6 miles in after cold start and cruise kicked off, speedo stopped working and just about every light on the dash came on and the gear shift...

    recommended brand of torsion bars....

    hey guys, I've got a sick torsion bar on driver side. It was sagging right after i bought the truck. Had the t bars turned up slightly (about 1" of lift) and an alignment. 1 year later driver side sagging again. Three months ago had keys installed with 3" blocks in rear... they were...

    Hour meter reset itself on my 07 dmax....

    Started my truck about a week ago and noticed the starter didn't sound like it spun as fast as normal AND the clock on the stereo reset after it cranked. Figuring this was connection related or bad battery, I inspected all the connections for cleanliness and tightness (I didn't have time to...

    Now that I have new slightly larger tires...need opinions on slight lift...

    Torsion bars are already cranked, but I've got slight rubbing on the back inside of the fender wells. I've already trimmed off the plastic valance on the front of the fenders. Same deal as with tires, this truck still needs to work and I don't want a 6" lift or anything crazy like that. Was...

    Diablo Predator - changed tire size...now dead in the water will not crank

    got an error that the tune didn't load after modifying the tune for the new tire size. Tuner automatically went to "restore original backup" after giving a "tuned failed to load" error... tried to restore original backup - got error "Error unlock for reflash (-1) I'm totally dead in the water...

    looking for suggestions on tire sizes

    Finally scored some wheels for my dmax. Got em for $300.00. They came with 315 70 17's BFG AT's on em...pretty worn (and too big for me). I already have two guys wanting to buy the tires only for 150.00. The wheels are 17x9's and was thinking 285 17 not sure about aspect ratio (70 or 75)...

    front axle flange has play - normal?

    Was under my 07 yesterday changing the oil and took to opportunity to check the front axle seals that I had replaced under warranty 3k miles ago...and it was the second time they were replaced in a few months. Upon inspection, I noticed that I could move the flange slightly(where it comes out...

    Recommended "things to check" before your warrany runs out...

    I don't know if it's just my truck or chevrolet's in general, but I've had several axle seals leak on my D-max. RR one has been replaced twice in a short period of time and then the dealer went back in with extra sealant it finally stopped leaking. The two flange seals (both sides) of the...

    07 LBZ - questions about removing the kitty

    OK, after searching around on the web and finding mixed results...and didn't find anything on TTS, I thought I should ask here; on an LBZ d-max are there any computer or sensor related issues to removing the kitty? I want the thing gone, but don't have the $$ right now to just replace the...

    LBZ d-max, still impresses me...after a year and a half of owning her...

    If you read my other thread you know that I'm on vacation in the mountains of North Georgia. Trip coming up here, I-75 70mph all the way, three adults and two teenage kids, all of our gear/suitcases and a half bed of firewood - truck was absolutely stuffed - averaged 19.2 mpg. I figured once...

    installing blocker plate/finger stick AND code P0403 question

    OK, gotta nice little score today. I was doing some work a couple of counties from home today and dropped in on a friend of mine at his business. I noticed when I pulled up that his 06 LBZ was not in the parking lot....but there was a 2011 Dmax in it's place. I was harassing him about buying...

    weird ticking noise for first ten minutes or so after starting....

    I don't know if me and "search" just don't get along but I could have sworn I read here about the lbz getting a strange ticking sound. Can't find it now though....anyway a couple of weeks ago my lbz starting this weird faint ticking sound after startup - mostly in the morning when cold but not...

    LBZ oil pan

    I thought I read about the oil pan on these trucks somewhere on this forum but search turns up nothing.......so, while changing the oil in my d-max this weekend I noticed (again, but actually made a mental note to discuss it here) that the oil pan straddles the cross member between the lower a...

    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...

    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...

    idea for someone who has the schematics and know-how

    this question is for the 07 classic silverado but may apply to other year models. I would like for the "4x4" light in the cluster to come on when I'm in 4 wheel drive - not the stupid yellow indicator that stays on all the time and moves down 1 inch next to the 4x4 button when in 4 wheel...

    weird thumping noise on my 07 LBZ classic

    Disclaimer for the moderators; I apologize if this is not in the correct area of the forums. I spent ten minutes trying to decide where is should go without getting my hand slapped :hihi: I think this problem is something in the interior (but I could be wrong) - might be suspension - so...

    Fuel additive question

    Other than PS or some other additive to increase cetane, what are you guys running for injector lubrication? I've search here and found that some are running 2-stroke oil (same as what I run in my 6.5) but the amounts seem to vary - from 8 oz per fillup to 1 gallon :yikes: I read in last...
