    400,000 Miles After 17 Years – Your long term reviews?

    If you’re happy with the truck, there’s no reason to change anything. I bought my 06 new and I’m just now adding compound turbos. I’ve been just enjoying my truck and adding power as I felt the need too. If it was my daily I would never to as far as I have. My truck has 220k on it and with the...

    Fixing my LBZ/ truck build

    I don’t know how critical is, but I would think at a minimum you would want it in the center of the bend not to the inside or the outside where the airflow is gonna be faster or slower. That’s right where HSP built the kits with if.

    Fixing my LBZ/ truck build

    I found something on Amazon that should work. There’s other options out there, but they’re very spendy and you’re gonna have to hack them up. There might be some other options out there, but that’s all I’ve gotten so far. I’ve also thought about somebody cutting mine up and doing a bunch of pie...

    Fixing my LBZ/ truck build

    I want to relocate my oil dipstick. Can you fish it out from around the engine mount without messing with the engine mount? It looks like I can just remove the starter and takeoff the dipstick and fish it out form behind the engine mount. I don’t really wanna have to mess with the engine mount...

    Fixing my LBZ/ truck build

    Starting on my compound install after getting back from vacation. I keep forgetting how nice it is these trucks have a service position for the hood compared to other trucks. I have found several lose bolts from when I did my head gaskets. I’m pretty lucky I didn’t have a major issue because of...

    Speaking of banking. I went to Walmart to pick up a prepaid debit card the other day. I use those when I’m making purchases from questionable places. I only load the amount of the purchase I’m making. Well, there was a problem with the card I purchased so I went and got another card. The...

    Towing compounds: s476 or s480

    I know nothing. I’m just now going to put on a VVT64mm and 480 compound kit. I think the fact that you’re at high elevation, you should consider something larger. All that torque down low so you can keep it in fifth and six gear is gonna be really tough on the engine. I’ve been watching lots of...

    Well, this was our yearly vacation to my daughter‘s taekwondo nationals. It was Florida again this year we split between our normal AAU nationals and ISKA world martial arts championship. For AAU we really thought this would be her year for gold, but she got silver instead. She did amazing...

    It is nice, but when I live close to the coast and the months have nicknames like June gloom and May Gray. The weather might be nice, but when the sun doesn’t come out till 3 o’clock in the afternoon, I’ll take my hundred degree weather a few months out of the year in the south.

    LBZ TCM problem

    I would look over the wiring first and make sure nothing looks damaged to the TCM. Maybe you can find a pin out and at least check power and ground in the TCM harness first.

    My Country Boy Limo. 06 LBZ

    I think the market for trucks like this is guys that will buy it out of pre emission nostalgia. They have new truck money but don't wanna deal with the emissions and BS. I think it's gonna get even worse after this year with all the new cameras and algorithms and shit on these truck. A guy I...

    Fixing my LBZ/ truck build

    Thanks for those that have helps me out. I got some parts rolling in from Brad and a few other odds and ends. I'm not I'm not sure when I became the type of douchebag that needs 5 different gauges in my truck but here I am. Drive and oil temp added. The oil temp was getting me nervous. It gave...
