    VGT turbo controller for lb7??

    So I've decided to take the lly top end route lol, does it have to be lly or can it be lbz? New to this whole thing, but not to engines. I've worked on a lot of gas vehicles but not diesels. Heads, injectors, ecm, ficm, turbo, what else would I need..?

    Did you need to do anything not mentioned..? How did you go about wiring in order to retain all the electrical inside? I have a donor lb7 and I want to do something similar with my Escalade.

    2003 lb7 swap to 04

    So I have an 03’ lb7 that is extremely best cosmetically speaking. It has 180k miles and the frame is solid. I’ve been waiting on my title for months, and my Escalade needs headgaskets. I have access to lifts, and every tool I could ever need.. The plan is to pull off the bed and cab, cut the...
