    diesel swap yukonXL referal SF/Bay?

    Agree with CrazyCrew. Look up duraburb on Youtube. They offer turnkey solutions on many different models of GM. Don't think they have an official website but their number is all over the youtube vids.

    Injector swap

    Ya, the dealer is pretty rediculous on most items it seems. That 400 was with a discount from the MSRP of 454. I called SoCal Diesel and talked with Guy. He answered all my questions and sent me out an injector today :thumb:

    Injector swap

    So is there a difference between replacement injectors? Difference between going through the dealer or another seller? What brands are best and which to stay away from? Got a quote from the dealer for 400 even, plus tax. I see others available for a bit less ~$385. Are remans a value or...

    Injector swap

    Right, truck will be visiting Mike L in the Sep/Oct time frame :D. Since I have to do the injectors (at least one anyway) now might as well get honing out of the way (if I was going that route) now to avoid pulling the injectors again. From what I am understanding the stock sticks should be...

    Injector swap

    Yes. I spoke to Exergy last week. They said the most they could do is clean it and see how it would do as far as bench testing. More than likely you will probably need a new injector if it is already testing bad. Just don't know if honed nozzles will do anything for me, as far as my goals...

    Industrial injection

    Well s$%t, I was going to call them Monday about using their services as far as injector rebuilding. Looks like it will be Exergy.

    EFILive customer service

    EFI Live has a learning curve. Time investment is needed to understand the interfaces before you start flashing. It also varies from truck to truck it seems. Mine is very finicky, not sure if all LLYs are sensitive to voltage changes while trying to flash, but sheesh, one little change like...

    Injector swap

    So what level of % over would be considered worth it(having the nozzles honed) and would be required as far as tuning once done. Looking for opinions and advice for what I will need to do in the near future. I have one bad injector (according to balance rates) and trying to figure out the best...

    Inconsistent Balance Rates

    Ya, the truck can be pain in the ass sometimes. If my garage were long enough I would have pulled all the injectors and sent them to exergy for rebuild, hone and bench flow. Most of my projects need to be completed in a days worksince I no longer have adequate storage area. I should...

    Inconsistent Balance Rates

    So would inconsistent balance rates be a good sign of bad injectors? Also, is there anything to be concerned about going with reman injectors from II instead of new ones?

    Inconsistent Balance Rates

    So efi live is giving me similar results. From my logs it looks like #1 is bad with 3 and 7 not far behind. Could it be a normal symptom of an injector going out that on start up it is fine until throttle is applied? What are symptoms of an FICM going out? I also reloaded the stock tune...

    Inconsistent Balance Rates

    I'll check with EFI Live and see what I get. There was discussion of tunes affecting balance rates (or perceived balance rates) somewhere, not sure if it was this forum or another. Could there be any truth to that? Don't want to waste time flashing the stock tune if it doesn't matter.

    Inconsistent Balance Rates

    I think the wiring is going to be my culprit because I hate trying to figure out shit like that. I just reconfirmed my findings. Checked balance rates after driving home and number 1 was ~6.9. Turned truck off, let CTS shut down, started truck back up, checked balance rates again. number...

    Inconsistent Balance Rates

    According to CTS rail pressure is always within the specified +-.1 kpsi. So is there another method to measure the performance of the FPR?

    Inconsistent Balance Rates

    Bluecollar, have you done anything to try and determine the cause? Any performance issues or knock?

    Inconsistent Balance Rates

    What would cause balance rates to change, going from 8.1 to .1 on one injector then others flopping in and out of tolerance as far as balance rates go? I have done the fuel system cleaning in the DIY section, ice picked all the injectors and changed fuel filters. My weird circumstance is that if...

    20's and what tires.

    Good question. Like I said, it took me three different tire shops and four people to find someone who knew what they were doing, or at least cared enough to tell me the wheels were effed up.

    20's and what tires.

    So, who's got two thumbs and never buying Fuel wheels again? This guy. So I initially purchased the Fuel Hostage 20x9 wheels in chrome with a +20 offset (5.75). Immediately starting getting vibrations in the truck and assumed it was the tires cause the wheels were brand new. Went back to the...

    LLY to LBZ Conversion Complete

    What kind of costs are incurred with a swap like this? From everything needed, seems the price would be north of $10K (Engine, Tranny, ECM, TCM and associated components).
