A Local Airboat Shop in the area has some how fabricated an LB7 on the back of an Airboat and they want me to load a Tune in it. They claim they've kept the original Engine Harness.. I'm wondering if the Engne can even be Tuned W/O a TCM being used.. Any comments on this???:confused: If so how would you License it??

They said they have the complete wiring harness for the Engine, including the OSB Port.. I'm thinking it'll go ahead and License ..I hope..When I plug into the ECM I would think it would be like normal and go ahead and give you the Vin and OS# Of the Truck it came out of.. We'll see Thurs.. I'll take pics of it.. This is gonna be pretty cool and scary at the same time..Just seems like an awful lot of Torque to put on a 16'X8' Boat...:D

It's an aluminum Panther hull, counter rotating power-shift props..If we get it right it will be the most power ANY Airboat has ever seen..This is just another example of how Diesel engines are going to take over the HP industry..

D-max full track Wow!!!! Now that's an idea..

They called me last night and they have the boat running. The only issue they say they have right now is it's ideling way to high..I'm sure there's more but they don't know sh!t about diesel's.

i see the new records now: first duramax powered airboat
first duramax to cut backflip
