    AC line material requirements.

    I have been contemplating routing an AC line differently on my truck. Ive researched a few sites on the web and the general consensus is that fuel safe AN type hose will not work with 134a. Has anyone used any different form of AC lines than factory?

    Anyone had any harsh reverse engagement issues?

    Every once in a while my lbz will go into reverse quite hard. Like the trans is free spinning for a second then hits reverse abruptly. Maybe 5k miles on trans since rebuild. It doesn't do it in drive, just reverse.

    Partial exhaust system purchase?

    In recent months I've been thinking of going to a 5" system solely because I like the appearance of the bigger pipe. Currently have a 4". Would it be possible to purchase just the 5" stainless tail section? I prefer the 90 degree exit style of magna flow and flo pro. I emailed magna flow...

    Quality Lug Nuts?

    Im thoroughly convinced that no one makes a quality lug nut that will not rust or chrome bust off. Anyone have any leads on a quality lug nut? Stainless would be expensive but twice the quality.

    Stainless Diesel 5 blades...

    I know that SD is big in the Cummins market but has anyone had experience with their 5 blade design? They claim lower EGT's as well as big power, I believe they claim that they're ridiculously loud as well. I'm in the market for a 467.7 and they offer one with a 5 blade. I for one don't...

    Needles operated by BCM auto dimming funtion?

    So I am trying to duplicate the auto dimming feature by the BCM when headlights are activated onto my needles. They will be light by small LED rings under the faceplate. Similar to Matts.. In my head I am convinced that this will have the needles illuminated at full brightness when the...

    Proper way of extending harness?

    I have been gathering parts for a s400 swap over the last few months on my LBZ. A few things I want to relocate in order to clean up the bay a little. One is the GPCM. Now I know some folks move this to the small stud thats already on the firewall but I had planned on putting it else where...

    Visual alternator differences

    I had a previous truck with a pretty large stereo system in it, of which I kept the alternator for a spare. It is chrome plated which leaves me to believe it may be aftermarket and possibly a bigger amperage than factory. I don't see any markings on it. Does anyone know of a way to tell if it is...

    Ceramic Coating Source

    Anyone got a good ceramic coating source on the east coast? Local places just seem a little too high priced.. IE. $100 per manifold and $20 per foot of piping. I need to get my manifolds, pedestal, downpipe done.

    Swap or Rebuild?

    Long story short I bought a 05 LLY last year and the motor let go a few months ago. I swapped a stock motor and trans into the truck and sold it. I'm left with a pile of parts and now own a 06 LBZ. Now, the trans I have left from the LLY is a gmax5 with an ML converter. Honestly the...

    LLY mystery connector.

    Well did some work to the front end of my LLY and upon re assembly noticed a connector not plugged to anything. Drivers side, same pigtail as the low beam. Washer is plugged in as well as the horn. All lights function too. Any ideas? I was thinking it was ambient temperature sensor...

    LBZ into LLY truck.

    Long story short > LLY has a hole in the block, returning the truck back to stock and sell. Needing a stock motor/trans to drop in it. There is a LBZ/6 speed combo for sale in the classifieds. Now Ive read the old thread from 2010 and it is a little confusing. At first it sounded like there...
