    Duck the MANN or throw in the towel?

    I thought I wanted a newer truck but have decided to keep the old LB7 forever now. Its fairly simple to work on and drives great. It doesn't have all the bells and whistles but its fun to drive and will be even more so once I build the trans at some point. Also I remember listening to the...

    Newbie rescues an LB7

    I agree with 2004LB7 when I tore mine apart none of the bolts were that hard to get out. I just made sure to clean them out good and tap the allen socket in with a hammer lightly. None of them rounded. When/if you replace the CP3 I learned the hard way to make sure you use a torque wrench to...

    LB7 oil pump conundrum.

    Is there fuel in your oil? I found out mine had a leaking return line and it would slowly add fuel to my oil and oil pressure would drop to almost nothing. I fixed the leak and my oil pressure has been fine since.

    ABS-Brakes light on Intermittently

    If you take the control module off the pump you can take it apart and resolder a few connections and that usually fixes it. There are lots of videos online that show which terminals. Ive done this to two trucks and had it work.

    Transfer flow fuel tank sender values?

    I just found a good deal on a 50 gallon transfer flow fuel tank with the built in tool box that came out of a 2004 dodge 3500. It came with the monitor that tells you how much fuel is in the stock tank as well as the aux tank. I was able to do some searching and find the dodge sending unit...

    One broken head bolt

    I just did an LLY head job and it only cost me about $500. Machine shop charged me $140 to inspect, clean and surface the heads. If you have the time and take your time to do it right it isn't that hard.

    Investments

    A mutual fund is a group of stocks that is professionally managed. Some of them have fees for this others do not. I like them because I can buy them and not have to worry about checking them every day. Yes they still go up and down like everything else but the risk of losing a lot of money is...

    LBZ: Starter Continuous Click + Glow Plugs

    Use a multimeter to measure the voltage drop in the positive and negative cables. Put one probe on the battery post and the other on the starter post and have someone crank it while you watch the voltage. It should read close to zero. Do the same with the negative. That will tell you if/where...
