Well, we'll see how quick I can get it done tomorrow.. Im not 100% sure if the plate will cause a code but we'll see.
Mine did after about an hour of drive time, and then I installed a Fingerstick.

I'm pretty slow most of the time. I spend 93.7% of my time looking for the F*&$@g tool I just set down.
I had to change the fpr on my lly 3 times when I first bought it. I bet it took me 3 hours to change that stupid thing the first time. By the last time I could do it in about 45 minutes... including coolant refill.

I'm not admitting to nothin' for the LBZ plate on mine, but taking a piece of 220 grit and a flat surface will let you know how flat the plate is NOT and when you do that I doubt it would make a difference which side...
BTY what side does it go on, remembering how things go together and back together sure helps....:rofl:

The gasket needs to be on the riser side (up pipe) and the block plate between the gasket/riser and the cooler.

I don't recall which side I installed the plate on, I was watching the sundial.. :rofl:
Yep. I remove the thermostat housing and a/c compressor and it is way easier to get to everything. You will even have room to turn a wrench.... almost.
Yep. Did my last FPR in a couple hours that way. Tstats, too. I remember all too well the nightmare that was my first FPR change on my truck.....
I'm right there with you. I could chop down ALL of my repair times by having more of an eagle eye for the frickin' tool I need.
You guys are blazing fast. I usually get distracted by shiny things and spend the rest of the 6.3% of the time getting myself re-focused on the task at hand.
I've pulled my fpr several times and never drained coolant or removed the thermostat housing. Did the whole cp3 too.

I've been taking my time on this.. Although the blocker plate was extremely quick to put it. I broke the PVC trying to get it disconnected from the lly mp though..

I missed that part the other day, that is pretty funny, lol.
As long as your picking on me your letting someone else rest <-- that's what my dad always told me.....as he was looking for tools in his van.

Pulled the driver side injectors on a lb7 in 35 minutes yesterday, i thought that was pretty decent.
Finally got around to doing my pump rub kit Friday. From the time I backed it in (well almost in, my shop is small and it wouldn't fit in) and got it on the lift (jack stands on one side) until the time I cleaned all tools and put them up took me 3 1/2 hours and a lot of that time was cleaning the housing/gaskets off. Glad I found both pieces of the clip and they hadn't torn anything up. Do you think some engineer fresh out of college thought the metal clip was a good idea and it would never give trouble? Could have probably done it in 2 1/2 hours had I not taken pictures and texted some people, lol.

way back when i had pump rub the first time at 85k on the truck, i just threw a new case half in and called it a day. the merchant pump rub fix had just come out and was 200 bucks. alot of cash for this college kid back then, specially when the case half was 150 bucks then. i threw it in fully expecting to have to put a pump rub plate in after another 85k. I tore the t-case down i think 2 years ago to install the kennedy pump rub plate (didnt even know they had them when i first did it) and fix some worn parts. Case had a total of 190k on it and the clip was still in tact with no signs of wear. mind you, thats a magnesium case half i put back on (2007ish so aluminum t-case just came out) and she had 37s added, a shit ton more hp, and my driving.
sure as heck not to say others will have the same, more of me just being surprised as hell that it was all still good!
