    January '25 Chat -- Happy New Year!!!

    Speaking of jobs you can do in the snow.. Have been watching this guy trimming trees, even in whiteout snow conditions every day for past week. Been taking cool pics to share.. Then today, the weather is sunny, I hear him up early, buzzing around until about 1pm. Figured they went to lunch. Then...

    I'll be sure to snag that domain name when expires. Then can bring it back up as new site, yet taking advantage of all the SEO rankings they built up over the years.

    LB7 Trans issue

    I've seen a couple of those early TCM's flake out in ways that will make ya chase your tail. Checked one on a buddies 03 a while back, and swore it was a wiring issue. He stumbled onto a good TCM local, and quickly called to tell me that fixed it. He had replaced the switch, valve body harness...

    Hopefully Wayback Machine archived it all for us.. After 32 years connecting and surfing the wild wild web, one thing I can say stands true, every dog has it's day online.. Then they just as quickly fade away into the Netscape.. It used to be a standard 5yr website lifecycle, before FB finally...

    3.0 Duramax

    There's 20 years of history behind this Wet Belt bad idea. Someone just improved the rubber compound, thus claiming they'd solved it. Gullible young engineers see it as the Fix All solution. Park one straight off the showroom for 20 year, then fire it up and let me know how many miles ya...

    Interesting Finds At PRI 2024

    The coolest ride at PRI has to go to this low rider. The detail work is just ADD level. Think they just ran out of shit to chisel on, and then gold plated things when nothing left to etch. And it has one if the cleanest sound system you'll never see. Rocked the hall at closing time... Sent from...

    Great catching up with you also Mark. Now I know where to find ya, I might be that strange car with old guy asleep in your driveway... Due to LBZ/LMM ecm hardware limits, 6000r is never gonna be a sustained Rpm for most. Yet to test on an l5P.. LB7/LLY it's possible as I've found no such...

    Interesting Finds At PRI 2024

    No, but like all the other patrons, I donated my $40 to feed a congressman.. Actually paid for a buddies pass, so I bought two lunches... Hopefully one of those mofo's choke on it since the RPM act has proven to be no more than some lobbyist lunch money fund....

    Interesting Finds At PRI 2024

    I was most interested in the 6000rpm geometry aspect of those rocker / bridges. Since can still count on one hand the people actually spinning a Duramax at or above 6k, would like to see some hidden camera action on a side by side comparison. OEM layout not shown any extra wear in my abuse...

    Interesting Finds At PRI 2024

    That's enough data for me.. lol. Here is their big valve offset heads with dual ratio config that fits a stock SB block / lifter which caught my attention. Actually it was the "Patent Pending" sticker, but still, some nice engineering work. Speaking of data, I did talk with the guys from...

    Interesting Finds At PRI 2024

    Had a great time at PRI this year. Always a good spot to meet up with old friends from around the country. Plenty of cool diesel tech, and even a few Duramax advancements caught my eye. Would like to hear more about these rockers and bridges if anyone has data. Please feel free to share...
