    LB7: Should I be scared to buy an LB7

    Simpler is better, tapshift... Who cares vvt... **** that... And injectors aren't that much better and cost way more It's true the southwest has good priced trucks but finding lbz trucks for 10k isn't an everyday thing not every one is that price and lly/lb7 isn't going for much less

    Shark fin antenna

    Anyone retrofit a shark fin antenna onto the roof of an obs truck that didn't come with one? My shitty black roof antenna decided it wanted to live on the side of the freeway somewhere and since I don't like they way they look anyway I figured I'd colormatch one of the shark fin style ones...

    Oil cooling

    At the point where I need to relocate all of my coolers as they are either in a bad spot,(because racetruck) are getting road debris(because racetruck) or are better utilized elsewhere. My truck was heading to track only then I bought a purpose built drag truck so back to a mall crawler it goes...

    LB7: Should I be scared to buy an LB7

    the price isn't plummeting or even going down drastically on any duramax generation what are you smoking, they are actually holding their value quite well compared to dodge/ford.

    forward facing t-stat housing hose options

    Oil fill tube from an lb7 fits fine with a very slight ding to the side from a hammer The van hose might not have that fancy sheath but it fits way better especially the gates van hose, trimmed about an inch off the rad end and it's absolutely perfect

    06 8.1L Vortec Tuning

    id skip the 8.1 and get a 6.0 gas. way more aftermarket support, parts are way cheaper and way more abundant and its pretty much bulletproof.

    adjusting driveshaft, pinion angle

    I'm lower than that and don't have any issues and adjusted nothing as far as driveshaft angles. Are you sure your vibration isnt from an out of balance driveline or something else being amplified from the angle change.

    Looking for input

    Don't buy the PPE kit or any "kit" for that matter. "Kits" don't have all of the necessary parts to ensure a good solid reliable build due to different thickness clutch packs. The only kit recommendable is from Evan at limitless diesel performance because he actually includes all of the...

    2 post car lift recommendations

    Most lift manufacturers say 6" minimum and personally I think 8" is ideal. I've seen an anchor pull out of 4" concrete.

    I would never steer someone away from a high end name brand lift like rotary, I used rotary at work for years they are amazing lifts. but at the same time I'd never hesitate to buy another Atlas like I did, for home use a high end high rated lift will never get used to it's full potential so I...

    LB7: Should I be scared to buy an LB7

    ive said that until blue in the face too many times, for the short time i worked for GM i did more lly+ injectors than lb7. in fact id be more inclined to say the lly+ specifically lbz/lmm injectors go out more often just not in batches of 8. people seem to think a time consuming injector...

    GM Medium Duty at the LA Auto show.

    Typical for a tilt hood. What gets me is that ugly ass Cali clean idle sticker on the front fender, couldn't they find a better spot. Other than that it's a damn good looking truck

    Rear suspension setup

    half the hangers out there on the market do not work with caltracs but there are some that do. basically any hanger that loops under the spring eye will not work with caltracs but if it holds the spring eye from above it will work. i've seen some guys go to 3 leafs but its still not quite...

    Lets talk heads

    not to rain on this guy/girls parade but its a little bit humorous that this guy/girl decided to convert to LLY to avoid LB7 injectors because that's what they are known for and decided to switch to a LLY which is known for headgasket problems and then blows a headgasket :roflmao: that's all i...
