Ordered PCV reroute kit, EGR plate, airaid air filter for the LBZ.
Don't even wanna delete the EGR.
Don't even wanna delete the EGR.
Not gonna lie, my next truck will get bare minimum of mods

I never know how sharp the "techs" are at the testing stations here in Maricopa county so no EGR delete for me and keeping the mods to minimum. I did however find that gutting the intake heater, 3" Mishimoto LBZ/LMM fittings I found on Craigslist, with the 3" hotside pipe made quite a difference in the way mine ran. It appears stock and should pass this year, exhaust downpipe maybe next month and keeping all my stock stuff..
Im not worried about emission's, everything of mine is registered up in Flagstaff 
My sister lives in Black Canyon City and I could do it, I just do not want to take a chance of a state employee yo-yo to cross reference something and then have to deal with a small legal issue and fines, not sure what the fines/legal ramifications are and do not want to find out....
So Ive been noticing when I put my truck in R that my hotside pipe randomly touches the hydraboost/master cylinder and rattles. Now I plan on shortening the pipe as its slightly long, but this is only part of my issue. I also noticed that when I shut the truck off that regardless of what tune im on that the truck shakes violently side to side. My guess is that I possibly have a torn or tearing motor mount. Ive looked around and read on the bolting of the stock mount, but I don't have access to an engine hoist...how would one go about getting the mounts out?
Goodluck getting the driver side mount out with the engine in the truck and 4wd... it's a royal PITFA.
Well the engine ain't coming out and nor the 4wd, even if it takes a day to get it. But how do I lift/hold the engine without a hoist
Put it on a lift, pull the front dif and use a screw jack and push the engine up. Swap mount and reinstall. Otherwise.....good luck
Guess I'll have to figure it out then...don't have a lift nor access to one
Set the truck on fire. That fixes all the problems lol
Pshh man you crazy. But thank you for the suggestions
I looked at mine many times, gotta be a way. Remove the top portion of the shroud, use some blocks of wood and a scissor jack to raise the motor and finagle it out. I would use a bottle jack, but I don't trust them too much, BTW mine is a 2x4 also...
You are bound to have something else wrong. Mine fires right up with no haze with 60% injectors, C's with 16.5:1 pistons with temps in the teens. My glow plugs settings are stock as well
I've changed them, not fun but very possible. Last one I did took about 2 hours.
Jack up driver front and remove wheel, set jackstand on frame by cab mount, remove inner fender, remove I/c pipe, turn steering wheel 1/4 turn left from center and secure steering wheel with seat belt. Remove steering shaft bolt and slide apart letting steering shaft lay inside the frame.
The next part is the tricky part. Take the bottom 3 bolts out of the engine mount (frame side). Then you can use an engine house to lift up the driver side of the engine a little or stick a floor jack under your truck with a 2x4 slid up through the maze and sitting on the corner of the oil pan (where it bolts to the block, that flange). Raise up slightly and remove the 4 top bolts to the block then raise up enough to slide the mount out forward.
Reverse to install.
Getting the old torn out is a lot easier than the new single piece one in.
Mpg usually doesn't go up when shits wrong. 10.x , 11.6 and 13mpg where the rate for last 3 fill up covering last ~2000 miles.. Load home is 12,500lbs heading from Jacksonville fl to Greenville ohio
Motivated a u joint to come out easily put it in back in April of this year or 45-50,000 miles ago... Replaced with with a good greasable one
