    G80 locker spring mod

    True story :thumb: The spring is pretty easy to twist up. I actually think it helped mine last as weird as that sounds. Always engaging regardless. You can see where the leg of the spring rests on the governor shaft. Just take it and rotate it through around through the spider gears a few twists...

    Should my setup be smokey??

    Hello there everyone! Haven't frequented the forum in a while, kinda missed you guys! :D Anywho, I figured I'd start off with a question about my build. Snapped the crank in December, finally got it back together and have about 3000 miles on the new setup. My concern is that the setup is...

    Streaming B-Dubs TV channel

    Totally not diesel related I know haha, but I'm sure a few of you have seen that B-Dubs tv channel at Buffalo Wild Wings. Curious if there is a way to stream that or something similar to that onto my garage tv?? I talked to the manager there who I'm good friends with and he is pretty clueless...

    Tuning Help. At my wits end!

    I must be getting old and comfortable with my dinosaur LB7 tuning as I'm about to admit defeat on two trucks I'm trying to tune. The first is a 2010 LMM. Completely stock. Family friend just wants the DSP2 switch for the turbo brake and that's it. I CANNOT for the life of me get the switch to...

    Decided to turbocharge the daily driver

    With how long the truck has been down my itch to modify something has gained control of me again :spit: Ever since I saw James' thread on turbocharging his Suzuki I have been slowly rounding up parts and info to do the same to my daily driver. The candidate: 1997 Cadillac Deville. 4.6L VIN 'Y'...

    Issues with GmPartsDirect.com

    Has anyone had issues utilizing gmpartsdirect.com? I placed a bulk parts order a week ago and so far it still says the order is pending or n/a, payment hasn't been withdrawn from my account, and their customer service number goes to voicemail. My build is on hold until I recieve these parts so...

    My smoke free winter build

    With my recent crankshaft failure the poor truck is back under the knife again :mad: This go round I'll be doing the usual upgrades; Fingers's cast pistons, virgin stock crank, alternate fire cam, etc. But I want to take on a little challenge. I was perfectly happy with the quarter mile and hp...

    Symptoms of a broken valve spring/bent pushrod?

    So after a weekend of somewhat "aggressive" showing off, I have aquired a funky engine noise. When getting the rpms above roughly 1600 the engine starts to moderately "pop", and it gets more aggressive the higher in the rpms. The truck as a whole is louder when it happens and you can slightly...

    Anybody running rear wheelwell liners?

    ...specifically for the 01-07 GMT-800 classic body styles. I'm winterizing the truck and found THESE. I'm curious how much of the front and rear of the wheel well they cover. Trying to decide weather to buy these or just make some custom internal panels to keep road debris from getting packed...

    Electric wastegate control by turbo shaft speed?

    Work is slow today and so I've been pondering a few projects I wouldn't mind tackling. In my ever pursuit of making my truck a "do-everything" type of truck I have stumbled upon a few questions on something I would like to try. I was curious if anyone has setup an electric boost controller that...

    Absolute noob tuning problem...

    So I think I've been in LB7 tuning land too long :rofl: I've tuned a few LBZ/LMM's but most were just deletes/turbo brakes. My noob question is: can you fully disable the P0087 limp mode on an LBZ?? I'm so used to tuning LB7's that I was under the impression you could disable it on all operating...

    Am I crazy for wanting to downsize?

    Specifically downsizing my high pressure charger to a GT3788r? I've come to the conclusion that my old age is setting in and I am tired of a smokey, laggy truck for the street. I've done some searching but cant seem to find much on compounds with a 3788. I feel like the GT4094 would be just as...

    Cluster "Wake Up" repair question

    Over the past year my cluster has been pulling the whole "takes a while to wake up" low voltage issue that they're sometimes known to do. Lately it's getting worse and I've been meaning to repair it. I've already done the re-solder to fix my PRNDL display and it worked fantastic. I have been...

    Odd LML issue...

    So I have a 2012 LML in the shop for general maintenance. Looks like the air filter either got clogged up horribly or extremely wet at one time as the cheesy plastic framework that is there to hold the filter from getting sucked in was broken into numerous pieces. Very poor design if you ask me...

    Converter flash point and stall correlate?

    I'm curious if the converter flash point coincides with the stall. Basically what I mean is if the stall is raised does the flash point raise as well? My truck only sees about 15% racing time, where as the rest is just a normal daily driver. I just switched to a 1055 from a 1056 and the stall...

    Quiet engine/drive thru tuning

    So I just installed a TS chip in a 7.3, and one of the selections was a "whisper" mode. Basically it dropped the idle and commanded the lowest ICP percentage it could to keep the engine running. Obviously it's still a 7.3 so I wouldn't qualify it as "quiet" but it did drop a few decibels. Was...

    Where to buy an air guillotine?

    Today I had an '09 Jetta TDI run away on me due to a blown turbo and frankly I never want to experience that again, let alone with my own truck! Since I'm still waiting on my turbos to show up I figured now would be a good time to install one. What is everyone running and where would I purchase...

    A great thanks to Suncoast!

    Figured I had to post this up. Talked to Andrew for his input on what I needed for my setup. Shipped my 1056 converter off on the 17th to get re-stalled. Just received it back today on the 29th! Less than two week turn around including shipping! And the lady that called to inform me of the...

    Any country rap fans out there?

    Ol Lenny Cooper wrote up a song about us. I think this is the first song devoted to the Duramax if I'm not mistaken! I'm a fan of country rap but I'm sure it may hurt the ears of some of you old farts :D:hug: This is just the lyric video. I'm hoping the official music video will have some...
