    Kelderman air ride?

    Who's using them? Any dislikes? What do you do with your truck? I'm trying to decide if it's worth it for me. I have a 19 3500 about 75% of the miles are towing my 14K lb. 5th wheel.

    LB7: Wicked wheel2?

    How much would it lower my ex. temp? Currently I'm getting 1200 deg. towing heavy at 6000 ft. on a 15 hp tune goes up about 25 deg. more on a 30 hp tune. Like to quicken the spool a bit too.

    LB7: Is this a potential problem?

    04 LB7 running a EFI live 30 hp tow tune. On a hard pull where it has to downshift, it flares about 300 rpm when going into 4th, I try to manually downshift before the load pull gets too hard. The up shifts are fine.

    LB7: Overboost code?

    Got an overboost code yesterday pulling my new camper home. Never seen the boost go over 27 even when giving it a blast on the 100hp tune & when towing I had it on the 30hp tune. Waste gate is free diaphragm held vacuum. Has a PPE boost valve SAC 45 injectors & 4 in. exhaust. On a bright...

    LB7: SAC 45 injectors installed

    I did the job & installed the SAC 45 injectors, Fass 95 lift pump, DSP5 with tunes from Brent @ LDS 15 - 100 hp & MBRP 4" exhaust. Took it for a test run, WOW lot more response & no smoke. No more idle haze, no eye burning. Hits about 27-28 lbs. boost on the 100 hp tune, maybe 1100 deg. ex...

    Dealer wouldn't sell me ECM terminals.

    Stopped at a larger GM dealer to see if I could get a pack of them, of coarse I forgot to write down the part number. Don't sell em, wouldn't even bother to look em up. Said only thing they had was a kit for the techs. I say BS Anybody ever run across the same BS? I think the pr!ck was too lazy...

    LB7: Intake heater?

    Does it cause much restriction? By looking down in there after removing the intercooler pipe, it looks like a restriction.

    LB7: Tow tunes?

    What's the difference between a heavy tow & a light tow, if the HP ratings are the same?

    LB7: Changing injectors?

    So many options stock, 10%, 50hp. Where to buy? Who has the most complete kit? What do I really need? Do stock injectors run cleaner than the larger ones? I run mine on 90 or 120 PPE tune. It's mostly a driver & light to medium tow rig 6-10K llbs. BTW I never have had balance rates checked but...

    Info: Something I've noticed

    I've noticed a lot of people pull in after running down the Interstate pulling a big trailer & just turn it off like a gasser. I'd guess they're flirting with turbo failure down the road. How many give it a few minutes to cool down?

    LB7: Need some help in Billings?

    I think I have a sick one. I'm pulling a 10000 lbs. 5th wheel, stopped the KOA in Billings & noticed it looks to be blowing a lot of oil out the bottom. Maybe the breather tube? Anybody know of a contact that could look at it? If not I'm just gonna try to limp it back to MN.

    Safe tune , towing 10,000 lbs.

    What's a safe tune for towing a 10,000 lb. trailer through the mountains? I have a PPE tuner, & I have it on 120 hp now but was going to go with 90 or 50. Have NO pyrometer BTW, if I did I'd leave it as is. 2004 LB7

    LB7: Testing injectors with PPE tuner?

    My 04 has started smoking a bit at idle after warming up, so I put the tuner on to check the injectors, number 2 was showing a way lower number than the rest. Does that mean it's on the way out? I don't know what the numbers mean, I'm guessing it the open time.

    LB7: Did a scan with my PPE.

    I,m not sure what to make of the results. I didn't write any of it down, but the thing that had me concerned was the fuel press. I don't think it got over 10-11000 psi I think it was around 8000 idling. Injectors were 3.5 ms @ idle Timing minus 3 @ idle up to 15 @ 3000 rpm Boost was 14 must be...

    LB7: Did I limp it?

    I was out playing dirt track on some back road, didn't notice anything, but after I coasted down a hill I noticed a light on the panel od with a slash through it. After I shut it off & restarted it went away & trans shifts normal. BTW it might have shifted to OD while I was playing & the...

    LB7: Question about PPE

    I have a PPE standard & have it set at 90hp & I've downloaded the update from PPE will the update make for any noticeable performance gains or drive ability? I haven't put the update to the tuner yet, still on my computer, don't even know how to put it on the tuner. Guess USB port.

    Anybody park your Duramax for the winter?
