    April '25 Chat -- We wont get fooled again!

    Yep. And Google still says the last one is laying in my dining room. If the modern technology can't even find a cell phone, what the heck good is it?? LOL

    April '25 Chat -- We wont get fooled again!

    It's just Google Algos 2025 tied to an 1997 IRC bot.. Normally I'd be the one ranting all about it, but so for, not impressed.. What it is good at is coding, reverse engineering, and comparing thousands of images very quickly. But ya gotta train it to not pee on the floor first. Without...

    April '25 Chat -- We wont get fooled again!

    That helps explain the ball in hand of my first AI image.. I'd totally forgot about TRON. Man I dropped some coins on the arcade release back in the day.

    April '25 Chat -- We wont get fooled again!

    AI for making avatars?? Watched couple videos on using AI to create cool original images from just a description. So picked a free site, and gave some Bing AI variant the simple task of, make me a KidTurbo cartoon racing theme character, using a turbocharger and the #9. It started out pretty...

    LB7 Fuel System Issues - Wagers?

    300k on this pump, with a fresh regulator stuck in it, time to update.. My history with CP3 failures, wasn't much question when the guts are laying in the valley. But I have seen another Lb7 that did exact same as this one. Runs great, won't hold 14k rail, still driving last I knew. On the...

    LB7 Fuel System Issues - Wagers?

    You been chatting with my GM buddy? He thinks the restriction wore out the mechanical lift.. I said, help me change the cp3, and you can tear it apart. Took the bottle off and put it back to stock to move stuff around. Should have checked those balance rates again on the bottle. It's so clean...

    LB7 Fuel System Issues - Wagers?

    Ok, the jug answered some questions. After a short test drive, I'll possibly agree to calling this a draw.. Cause pumps shot either way.. Vac reading with bottle plumbed directly to the engine, never hit 3" at WOT. :unsure: Even I was leaning hard towards a tank restriction, until I...

    LB7 Fuel System Issues - Wagers?

    Picked up a fuel line quick release tool from Autozone last week. And grabbed the wrong one.. Note: Is the larger of the 2 scissor tools when comparing. >> 3/8-1/2". This tool did allow me disconnect the return at engine, which I ran into a small bleeder kit bottle. All of my good glass...

    LML VATS - 10 Years Still On

    Hence, why my phone rings I guess..

    LML VATS - 10 Years Still On

    I read that same post few days back. Is interesting about the RSA signature, and I get what he saying about a patch. Basically changing or replacing a segment of the bin so it doesn't acknowledge wrong BCM messages.. However, since in most stand-alone configurations, have no BCM talking, I'm...

    LML VATS - 10 Years Still On

    Thanks for that link. I understand what Ross was saying about a patch like on the E38. Guess wasn't big demand for stand alone LML. For marine side, last one I played with, just drilled the heads, and switched em to LMM injectors, pump, and ECM. Problem solved. But I would thought BT would have...

    LML VATS - 10 Years Still On

    I was ask the other day about a standalone bin with VATS disable on the LML. To which I replied, "you can't disable VATS on a the LML?" Guess my LML work ended with the block and oil pump mods.. lol So I do some reading, see that 10yrs on nobody has solved it in the bin. And when saw the...

    2019 Turbo Actuator Going Rogue

    I haven't checked resistance on the bus yet, just told him go put some miles on it and report back. But yes, I recently discovered the T87A's for example, won't TX a bit if no CANbus terminators present. 120 only, they will brick on a CANbus write. Certainly more picky than the nodes of older...

    March '25 Chat -- Hurry up, Spring! We got things to do!

    I leaned on that unit at PRI for a couple minutes I believe.. When I see billet, my brain automatically goes to never enough cooling passages for marine use. But that one looks to have some potential use. My Ti longtail boating mates will literally slap the biggest junkyard turbo they can find...

    2019 Turbo Actuator Going Rogue

    I've heard this is not uncommon, so what's the deal with the L5P turbo actuator waking up at odd hours for no reason, thus draining the batteries? A quick search, and think I see possible link to a corrosion in the NOX modules connectors. But not familiar with that actuator, guessing it's CANbus...

    2009 Suburban 2500 / 2009 Silverado LMM 6.6 Swap - General Info

    I'm not a Duraburb master, are several of those around here. But going with a 2009 Duramax into a 2009 Suburban should be about as close to plug-N-play as you can get. Wiring and communication wise, shouldn't require much more than swapping the chassis harness where it connects into the fuse...

    Twins with Twins, Anyone?

    So I spoke with Mike today, and ask him about RA on those heads. He laughed and said, while he doesn't have a profilometer currently, he did borrow one for a while to set up his mill to do aluminum heads. He can get em smoother, but thinks they are low teens currently. Heads look like good low...
