Welcome to the site sir...good to have ya here...
welcome to the site...good to know that there is a new tech around...sweet looking school bus
Welcome.
Welcome to LS1truck Eric! Good to have ya here--we have a new section that is dedicated solely to Dmax people... You should check it out. But one question: If you are a diesel tech, how come you are running a gas motor?
welcome to the site!
welcome to LS1TRUCK
money!, thats the only reason, 18K for my truck used vs 30K dmax used. and broken parts are cheaper on gas trucks.Quote:

Ok--here's a question for ya...and be honest: What is the the best diesel you can get in a 3/4 and 1 ton truck? I know what the answer should be... :)
:beerchug:6.6 duramax...is there any other engine. cummins is a good motor, but the dmax has more potential :beerchug:Quote:

Which designation? As in LB7, LLY, LBZ, or the new LMM...Quote:

Yes, and it makes me happy that Navistar has once again screwed up making the Powerjoke for Ford. :DQuote:

lbz is nice, lmm with all the bs tuned out is better. I would take any of them. the
lol...my neighbor just bought a f350 and it was running and flames started shooting out...hahaha...that couldnt be good...
Welcome, Ya I also have a diesel power addiction. Im trying to leave the diesel alone and play with my ls1truck.
I see a few of you have moser axles. I could not find them when I did my gear swap. where did yall get them, and how much did they run ya?
Go to Moser's website for a phone number. They'll make whatever you need. Strange is also a good source for some stout axles. You can order directly from either vendor.
Damn right. The LMM is freakin sweet once you take off the emissions junk and tune out all of the dumb restrictive crap... Same thing goes for the Cummins. I am not going to even talk about the POS Powerstroke...Quote:

The duramax rockers...hell the whole motor is a stout built beast. I don't even talk about PS motors. The injectors and huei pump fuel system was a stolen design from cat anyway. ford can't make there own deisels.Quote:

After the 7.3L, Navistar kinda went stupid for a while, making one of the $hittiest diesels on the planet. Hell, I would have driven a 6.5L GM diesel before a 6.0L...
nice...6.5 hydraulic lifters in a desiel. thats just gay:ghey:
Yup. And don't EVEN get me started on the awesome mechaincal fuel system it had. I would have rather had the N/A 6.2L!
lets just say...If I had the money, I would put a lly vin code 2 or a lbz,or lmm in a rcsb like mine and put a stock muffler on it and become a sleeper. I say these motors due to the fact of so many pilot injections per compression stroke, they are really quiet. running down the road, it would look and sound like a stock 1500, then put a electric cut out on it and go racin'.
No doubt! The new LMM is very quiet and has no soot discharge at all. If you want quiet--go LMM. But for my sleeper, I would do a NBS RCSB Z71 LBZ/6speed Allison 1000 on a 3/5 drop. Full quiet exhaust with an e-cutout like you were saying...so that you can cruise around lookin all normal and stuff and then hit a switch for the e-cutout and programmer...and let the other guy eat soot!
