    Rear Main Tool

    Hi folks, I've been gone for a while mostly because Blackie has been rock solid till now. Looong story short version; bent rods has me putting in my spare mill. Looking for a member who could lend/rent/sell me a rear main seal tool for a few days. I'm in Canada but use a mailbox just across...

    LB7: Injectors, bent rods, or?

    Hi to all, I've been AWOL for sometime. Blackie has been going down hill the last couple winters. Knocking and fuel smoke that basically clears up after 30 - 60 seconds when it's below freezing, proportional to coldness. Runs great as it has for the last 6 years when warm except a bit stinky...

    Talk me into or out of this

    It's an 06 D/A 4x4 with 300,000 miles and a limped trans on some tune. The box is dinged steel? and therefore not stock. It's out of province so needs a full safety inspection, basically not insurable here. I've wanted to build a budget frankenmax for a while with LBZ/LLY iron and my...

    Tire upsize on dually solution?

    I've gone to 235/85/16 winter tires on stock rims with 1/4" spacers. They just touch with 2 sleds on the back but I've gone with it. I want to go with the same size for summer but with the camper on I know I'm not going to get away with it. There are no spacer options between 1/4" and 1 1/2"...

    Shredding Tires

    All the stars have aligned and my truck is running strong. I have a new Trutrac and intercooler installed, we are coming off winter fuel and I just gunned off the winter wheels and installed worn out summers :D The roads were dry yesterday and I was having a blast putting the black beauty...

    Transfer case loosened off the trans!

    Oil under the truck on Friday before a weekend of sledding but I had a ride.:woott: Crawled under it today and see oil leaking between the T/C and Trans. Not just oil but the shiny metallic 'metal has been rubbing' paste. I wiggle the T/C and see its slightly loose. Checked 2 nuts; barely...

    Winter father/son project

    We gave $600 for this 95 1500 4x4 4.3l 5sp. Motor is in the box, new clutch is on the front seat. A perfect project to teach Will (13) some wrenching skills. We are going to re-ring and bearing it; not sure if a vendor (Henry?) sells a rebuild kit? I want him to learn to drive a standard...

    Strange Airdog behavior

    I got this AD 200 NIB from a member here. It caused loping and set fuel pressure codes even after changing the spring and adjusting the regulator. I pulled the fuse half the time and ran it the other half for performance. A few months ago I noticed the fuse was blown. When I replaced it the...

    Where should I Go from here, LBZ?

    I love my dually and need it for towing/hauling. 550 - 600 HP is all I can hope to keep cool on the hills, if that IMHO. Is it worth the effort to swap in a LBZ (and build the 6sp trans) or should I build my spare LB7? I'll need enough goodness to justify a complete 07 wreck, or maybe not...

    Looking for a Boost Leak

    Pulling up a hill coming home on Sunday I heard what is most likely a boost leak. A rush of air that sounds like the drivers side. My full boost is only down to about 45 psi from about 52 though. When the boots blow do they really open up or just split? I've looked for the thread on...

    G80 Locked Up, time to go?

    My limited slip has been engaged for a couple of days now. I've tried banging it in reverse kinda gentle which worked on my old 3/4 ton but can't get this one to let go. I'm planning to go into the bush soon, any estimates on lifespan? I've searched but info is scattered, what are my...

    Question: Snowmobilers...

    What forums do you recommend? I've been chased away from many with all the ads :mad: We sure have it good here :thumb: XP800 Powertek guys, list your mods. My stock 09 154" deserves some attention this year :D

    ECM Unlocking Service

    Any recommendations for getting this done (A site Vendor)? It would be great if there was something in Canada but the lower 48 would be my second choice.

    Shiny for a Day

    ECM Help Needed

    I went to do a full ECM reflash with a new DSP5 tune and it got into a "retrying previous block" loop. I let it go for a dozen rounds then hit Stop. I tried flashing again and it didn't find the ECM so I keyed off and on. It sees the ECM now but; Status Unknown PCM not detected ECM may...

    19.4 MPG Loaded!

    We cruised home from camping in the mountains yesterday and I was relaxed enough to take it easy. After killling EVERYTHING on the hills the last few times and rolling 70-80 mph (14 mpg) I wanted to see how good it could get. I still couldn't resist the hill climbs and even took an empty...

    Bypassing Bose

    Going with an aftermarket head unit and have already upgraded the speakers and installed a sub with amp using a PAC 24. I'll get the PAC OS-2 and SWI-JACK. I'd like to defeat all the Bose stuff now, lose chimes :woott:, lose Blonde Star, and keep steering wheel controls and rear DVD. I'd...

    GMax 5 Wrapped Up

    After a very long and casual rebuild to a core 2001 Ally, I just finished installing it with a ML converter. I did a fast learn with the Tech 2 once it got up in temp and I think it completed the drive test ok :confused: Everything seems perfect and have got a few miles on it, some in T/H mode...

    Ideas for a 6.0 problem?

    Okay, I checked through the forum rules and didn't see anything preventing this post. It is for a friend who donated his SS exhaust to me lately and he actually just bought a nice LMM dually. His brother in law is not so well off; "Can you look into a ford 6.0 problem for me? My brother...
