    Ford 7.3 (Gas) 10speed

    Does anyone have much experience with the Ford 7.3 trucks? Specifically a 2023+ 10 speed. I don’t like anything gm has to offer (well maybe the AT4x truck. But it’s diesel and I’m out of diesels unless it’s pre emission and then I don’t even really care to have one anymore. Ram is Meh other...

    Lml 15% throttle in gear

    I’ve got one for you guys. I need a little direction as I’m out of the loop. 16 gmc Denali 2500hd, tuned and non emission. The truck will only allow 15% throttle in gear. Park or neutral will sweep to 100% Turn traction control and stabilitrac off and it’s like a normal truck. All this...

    If you were to build a 2023 lbz

    So I’m back and forth on trucks. I despise new diesels and if I’m going to buy a newer truck it’ll be gas. More than likely a 2020 tundra Trd pro crew max. However I can’t justify spending 50k on a truck. I own a 2006 crew short loaded leather lbz with the following mods - built trans and...

    Lbz zf6 clutch

    Does anyone have a have a lead on a great clutch for a lbz zf6 truck? Truck makes 750 plus at tires. South bend dual disc ceramic / organic made it about 15k before it won’t hold anymore. Valair used to do a street triple. Now they won’t even talk about a Lbz clutch. Any options?

    Lml no start after regulator removal

    How’s about some tech again? First off I’m out of practice, haven’t played with diesels in 5 years minus the last 6 Months and now I’m back as a manager. Truck rolled in the shop last week, tech does brake work etc. test drives all good to go. Says check engine light is on so I call the...

    Lb7 4l80

    how would a guy go about putting a 4l80 behind a LB7? Controller wise? I’m sure it’s easier than I’m thinking but my brain isn’t fully functional this morning.

    4l80

    I acquired another truck last weekend. Early 90s 6.5 auto truck Trans was rebuilt a couple years ago by a local guy, shift great and all works as it should until it gets warm. And you’d probably never notice the problem other than towing in a field where you pull it down into low gear. If you...

    Converter flush

    I’ve got a precision ML converter sitting in a sealed bag that I pulled from a trans that cooked c3 clutches. I’m wanting to put it in my truck because the single disc in it just doesn’t do it for me. Should I send it somewhere to get hot flushed? Or just put it in and flush the trans? If I...

    Trans hardline size

    Does anyone know the Trans hardline size off head? I’ve got one that came out of the bracket and has been running the center link who knows how long, I found it because of fluid on the bottom of the truck. Hoping I can find a hydraulic hose shop and make the compression style hose such as...

    Fass not pumping.

    I tried searching so apologies if this is redundant. I got a used fass for my truck. I think it’s a 165. I paid $0 for it. It runs, won’t pump fuel. I pulled it apart and can’t see anything physically wrong. Does anyone know if there’s a spec for gear clearance on the pumps? Or will a motor...

    Brake upgrades (stock replacement)

    The lbz is about due for new brakes, I have zero complaints with the stock system and will go back to the same unless it’s worth it. Are the stock replacement options worth the extra $? I’ll eventually be stepping up to 37s. Drilled and slotted rotors, and better pads such as ebc. Not...

    Anyone “overland” ?

    I kinda stumbled into it this year and really enjoy it. I know it’s not known to be a full-size friendly thing, but the ole crew short lbz does it just fine. And I have 1/10th of the cash in my set up as all the Toyota guys, have 3 times the power, at least twice the load carrying capacity, and...

    Who’s running 35s?

    Who else is running 35s on stock gears? My more or less stock lbz on 35s gets terrible mileage. Like 12 mpg average. As far as I know it’s stock tuning, which I’ll probably change eventually. Exhaust and down pipe, drop in air filter. 35s on aftermarket 17s, truck is stock height so it’s not...
