    Bucking in T/H mode - Built trans

    I'm getting some pretty severe bucking in tow haul mode that isn't present in regular drive loaded. The trans shifts in T/H since the build have always been really hard, now with the hard shift I'm getting bucking. It bucked before the full engine build but much worse now with the higher power...

    LLY Tuning - Built Engine/Compounds

    Having some issues dialing in my tuning for my LLY. It received a complete makeover recently (see sig). It's smoking like crazy and hazy at idle. Some folks on the forum, and I hope they chime in, said 100's weren't hard to tune. I'm using a well known tuner but we aren't getting there after 6...

Looking to keep that peppy feel of the VGT and I'm no longer concerned about low end grunt bending rods. I'm leaning toward the 64mm vgt with the 10blade turbine but curious about the 66mm vgt with...

    Bolting TQ conv to BD flexplate

    I'm in the middle of the build and looking for advise on using the BD flexplate and a built trans by Mike L. During install, should I use RED or BLUE loctite? I've seen a bit of conflicting info. Yes, red should use heat to remove (I didn't use heat unbolting the converter taking out my trans...

    LLY Rebuild - Break in Procedure

    I wanted to kick this over to a new thread from my build thread. What are the recommendations for break in on a built motor?

    LLY - Cracked piston

    Cracked an lly piston on flat ground towing my fifth wheel. EGT’s were 700ish, boost around 12psi. The #7 cylinder was “clean” when I opened it up so assuming injector #7 stuck open and popped the piston. There is some mild scoring on the cylinder wall, can run a fingernail and catch slightly. I...

    Anyone know why my sensors would only be reading 18psi while mechanical gauge is reading 42psi? Bad MAP? Maybe?

    LLY twins? Or bigger VGT?

    I’m looking for experience from those that have upgraded the lly turbo or put in twins. What did you see? My use will be 80% heavy towing (20k toy hauler) and I live at 4500ft. All indications point to doing an sdp or hsp twin kit with s475. What did you go with? How were towing egt’s? On...

    LLY: Traction Bars recommendation for heavy towing

    Curious if anyone has used traction bars in heavy towing conditions? I don't want to have to adjust the pre-load every time I hook up my 40ft toy hauler.
