    2.8L Canyon Test Toy

    Pulled the trigger on a 2.8L So I impulsively decided to get one of these new mini Dmax's to start playing with. There aren't many in my part of Texas so it's time I brought one home. I decided on the Canyon just because they have a little more of a square look. I was in Wahington when the...

    4 linking the 1/2 ton

    So the NHRDA changed the Super Street rules for 2016 & I can't run the 1/2 ton like I was planning. Now I'm faced with slowing it down to run 10.90s or stepping it up to run Pro Street. I'm leaning towards dropping weight & going for Pro Street. Now I know the leaf springs aren't going to cut...

    Last Minute Callout Build

    Really didn't plan on this at all So we blew the stock motor in the 1/2 ton LLY a few weeks ago. After some debating we decided to try running super street this year.

    S400 kit for a Topkick/Kodiak

    Looking for piping for an S400 on a medium duty truck I have a customer that wants to build his Topkick for about 700 hp. It's an 05 & it has an LB7. Looking for somebody to fab the piping for me. There's plenty of room for the turbo & pedestal so that part will be easy. Been having a hard time...

    LML Cranks Discontinued???

    Tried to order an LML crankshaft today. Part #12641925. Dealer says they are unavailable & no one has one. Anyone else heard of this? Just a few weeks ago everyone was talking about using them in their engine builds because they're much cheaper now they don't exist! They said it didn't look like...

    The truck I promised I'd never race

    Last June picked up an 02 LB7 with low miles. "I need a tow rig" was my excuse. Well we started a new build on my white truck & we're waiting around for that to happen. Had an injector start knocking, tranny limps on every hill blah blah blah... Fixed all that & tried a few little things & oops...

    LML Shift Issue

    2011 LML stock 102k miles. Intermittent shift issue. Customer drops off this truck says it's slamming into gears hard and slipping at times. No DTC's. I let it warm up & take it for a drive. No issues. Shifts great. Get back & check fluid level. It's perfect. Fluid looks great. An hour later...
