    LML hole in the block, LMM short block swap?

    Would you elaborate on what all needs to be changed? I have an LMM short block on the engine stand I rebuilt putting in Mahle race cast pictons, balancing & keying and would like to use it but if it's going to be somewhat cobbled up to us it, I'd rather find another LML.

    LML hole in the block, LMM short block swap?

    I'm looking at a 2012 duramax with a hole in the block. Do I need to find another LML or can I use the short block or long block out of the LMM I have already?

    upgrade hydro-boost?

    The hyro-boost on my LMM is leaking and I need to change it. I viewed a video on youtube showing a guy putting one from a 2011 model on a 2005 truck saying it was an upgrade, better and cheaper than the stock one. Is there any fact to this? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IDxso037Cf8

    New to me truck, EFI Live installed already?

    I just bought a 2007.5 3500HD 4x4 dually. The owner said it had no tuner installed on it that he knew of. It had a straight pipe exhaust though and in the glove box was a FlashScan V2 OBDII Cable and it seems to run pretty good. Is there anyway to find out what tune it has on it?
