    03 LB7 Build

    Well, it’s reassembled and the initial run-time process is completed. New shoes are on, 285/65/r18 with Pro-Comp Wheels. More to go, but stoked with the overall look.

    I was reading up on the Speed Ratio because, as you said, it’s a relationship of torque. I believe it was impeller rpm divided by turbine rpm (something like that). So, depending on what the torque curve of one’s tuning is, it would adjust the stall speed of the converter, which is what I...

    I’ll take you up on that offer ?. I don’t have it back yet, aiming for the end of this month, so I’m in the dark on how it’s going to drive. I’m in Goodyear, but end up all over the city for work. Sounds like you’re up in North Valley…I do a lot of work at the semiconductor plant there. If...

    I’ll check in with the shop, I don’t see a stall rating on the invoice, only S STK Stall. Not sure how to find out the actual rating, assuming those have been the same since 2019. I’ve reached out to see if they can tell, it’s possible it’s not a DK. I believe both are competent, so I’m sure...

    Appreciate the information, very informative for me. Makes sense on the EGT management causing the pain when towing. Luckily I won’t be towing 10k much if at all. I’ll get with the outfit and start the conversation, appreciate the insight. I’m still wrapping my head around Stall Speeds and...

    They are working with PPEI for the tuning under different driving conditions and work loads to fine tune the maps. They’re willing to make any adjustments as I get to using it and learn its behaviors. It’s a little tricky because I now live out of state from the shop performing the work. Once...

    I looked up the original invoice from 2019. It is a near Stock Stall, which I believe would be a DK stall rating, Billet machined internals, or strengthened internals ( S STK Stall, Bil Str). They evaluated the converter adjustment with Wehrli when sizing the turbo setup + manifolds and...

    The original transmission build has a Goerend Triple Disc Torque Converter. It’s for street use, and not a drag setup, so rated for the 750hp range. Does that sound correct? I’m mechanically inclined, but I am not an auto/diesel mechanic (I’m in the Piping/HVAC world), so I’m open to...

    Fuel Mileage

    Those orifices are pretty small, so it wouldn’t take a very large particle, however I agree with your logic. At those presssures I’d imagine it would vaporize all. It’s an interesting video if you haven’t watched it. It more talks about the benefits of the cetane boost and lubricity added...

    Fuel Mileage

    I found this video several months ago and believe it helps contribute to the chat. I’m by no means an expert, but feel these folks took a very scientific approach to diesel fuel additives. Specifically their mention of reducing regenerative cycles for emissions equipped trucks. Source...

    Right now an outfit in Oregon is going to tune it, they’re called Pure Addiction Diesel. I need to check with how custom of a tune it will be. They’re starting with a PPEI 5-Tune setup. I’m not super knowledgeable on tuning, so perhaps because it’s a PPEI they can’t adjust it? They’ve done...

    Figured I’d try and chip in as I’ve used this forum over the past couple years. I have an 03 CCLB which has had failing injectors for 2+ yrs. I kept waffling back and forth on whether I was going to retire the LB7 and go new to me (this means 3-5yrs old truck) or keep her running and commit...

    Caltracs vs Traction bars

    is it the 9/16” x 2.63” ballistic ball joint specifically that fits into the CalTrac ends?

    Looking to build a 600HP when Towing LB7

    Injectors and larger intercooler would definitely help as others have said. If you’re not wanting to get into the internals, then perhaps smaller injectors, 45% maybe, a 10mm Stroker CP3 to feed some fuel and a Moshimoto cooler to work on the temps. My fear is getting into the 600+ is flirting...
