    Banks D866T

    https://www.bankspower.com/i-2533-engine-complete-assembly-866t-engine-base-866t-front-sump-with-sae-3-flywheel-housing.html I searched and it looks like this hasn't been talked about here. I know some aren't the biggest fans of Banks, and that starting $ range is out of my budget currently...

    What’s in your tool box?

    This thread is inspired by my recent mishap in New Mexico when I lost a high pressure line and got stranded for 24hrs. Luckily I had packed the right tools with me to get the job done this time, but I’ve had to purchase a few cheap-o tool kits on past trips because I didn’t bring tools with me...

    New Mexico Members or Shops?

    I just had one of my new Lincoln Diesel high pressure lines blow on my LB7, and I’m in the middle of a road trip passing through New Mexico. im wondering if by chance anyone is local and has a new or known good condition #6 line that I can somehow get, or a shop that might have one in stock on...

    Alternator cavitation sound?

    I’ve had this odd sound I started noticing the past few days, maybe it’s getting more noticeable as the temps get “colder” it sounds like a pump buzz/cavitation and it comes and goes at random while idling. I can hear it faintly from the cab, and I can definitely hear it on passenger side with...

    Swapping Passenger Manual Seat for Full Power/Heated/Lumbar

    I was muddying up my own thread so I wanted to start a dedicated one, hopefully I can sort the answer out here and people looking to do the same swap in the future can search and find this instead. Basically it's just capturing my thinking out loud, hoping for input from the wizards here, and...

    Pulling Dash - Anything I'm Missing?

    I plan to eventually pull my full dash apart to fix a few things that have been getting on my nerves. Since it's a pretty big task and I don't want to do it more than once, I just want to double check if there's anything I might be missing that I should look at while I'm there. It's going to...

    Illegal Tampering by Diesel Pickup Owners Is Worsening Pollution, E.P.A. Says

    Don't know if any one reads the NYT, but this article seemed relevant. Obviously nothing new, but pretty big bummer to see in such prominent form. https://www.nytimes.com/2020/11/25/climate/diesel-trucks-air-pollution.html

    07 blown head gasket purchase

    I’m potentially looking at picking up an 07 classic with 170k miles with an assumed blown head gasket for a good price. supposedly it drinks coolant at a decent rate. curious if there’s anything I can do short of lifting the heads off to make sure it didn’t bend a rod or damage itself internally.

    Duramax IFS Suspension

    I like to overthink things, and my most recent victim is shocks and the Dmax ifs. I’m getting ready to order the Fox 2.0 model 980-24-663 but then I got thinking. This is the table of the shocks applicable. What I’m not understanding is with most if not all drop down lift kits for these...

    What do you guys do for home shop oil/fluid storage?

    My normal go-to is a homer 5 gal bucket with the spin off lids, but for some reason there’s a national shortage of the lids and the ones on Amazon are marked up to like $30ea Anyone have a better home solution? While I’m at it... do you guys ever wash rags in your regular washing machine? I...

    Interior - cloth seat replacements?

    Didn't see a great spot for interior, feel free to move if there's somewhere better. I see plenty of options for new leather seat bases, but what about cloth? Has anyone found good options to match factory? I'm not the biggest fan of eBay, but has anyone tried covers from them? It would bug...

    HVAC system stuck on heater

    I've got two problems going on, I think I know the solution but want to confirm. First is, truck randomly goes to full heater mode regardless of input from dash controls. It does it on it's own too, not like I go to heat and then it won't come back. Just now sitting idling it all the sudden...

    How long would you run these injectors?

    Truck idled, ran and drove great. No indication of bad injectors other than checking balance rates. This is in park only. Forgot to do drive. They’re 55-60k miles on a dealer install. I’m wondering if I can get by with 2-3000 miles before putting SAC00s in and not risk any more damage that...

    York Onboard Air Setups

    I have a York 210 compressor and small air tank off a Semi I've had sitting in a box in the garage just waiting to one day install, but it hasn't made its way up the priority list yet. I just wanted to start a discussion to get some ideas rolling for when I do get to that point. Feel free to...

    LLY: I need an LLY refresher course

    I’ve owned an LBZ and currently an LB7, but I’m considering getting an LLY now as well. I am hoping for a quick refresher. The 05 LLYs with the tall hoods have the y-bridge and intake updated, whereas the 04.5’s were more prone to over heating- correct? Were the 04.5s the only year...

    Basic - power windows/locks/remote swap?

    I've got an 02 LB7 strip model with manual everything. As my 02 2500 Suburban starts to need more and more work I'm considering stripping it for parts. The Burb is fully loaded with auto climate, power/heated seats, on star, etc. To start, is the Burb BCM and wiring harness even compatible...

    Considering DD'ing 350k mile LB7?

    I'm looking on input on things to consider, I don't want to be stuck on the side of the road late to work or get out in the morning and not make it. I'm not fully sold on the idea yet. For the first time in 7 or so years I have found myself at a job that does not provide a truck. So, I'm...

    Rear main tool

    I’ll be doing a trans swap and clutch install on my LB7 next week. I plan to do the rear main and slave while I’m there. Is anyone willing to loan me the tool? I can give a deposit for it. Also, any other tips and tricks while I’m at it?

    Rebuilt ZF6 price check/rebuilder check

    My ZF6 was feeling kind of tired already, and then I went and completely destroyed my tail housing. I’m not able to find a replacement tail housing, and it’s so bad I doubt it can be repaired. I’m worried even if I found a tail housing or somehow fixed mine, I did a lot of driving on it while...

    Diagnosing shake at idle (not fpr)

    02 LB7 ZF6, lotta miles, hard ones too. New Bosch FPR when I got it, really smoothed out the idle compared to now. Before it was lopey, now it’s just shakey. Injector rates don’t seem too bad with EFI Live, and checking with TorquePro app it’s just about the same numbers. Passenger motor...
