    Can LB7 injectors go bad from sitting?

    I think I will be sucking the tank dry and dumping it straight into the old detroit diesel powered 76 Chevy 90 grain truck. To a 2 cycle detroit all our garbage diesel goes. :) I will be tracking down a used fuel filter housing (anyone got one? :) ), PO rammed a SAE bolt into the bleed screw...

    Electric Fan clutch

    So, is anyone gonna make up a really nice pre-wired harness to do this, or am I gonna have to hillbilly rig it with butt connectors and electrical tape? :)

    98 K2500HD runs rough, possible IP?

    just changed it though with a known good one. I'll bust out the new one if I have to, but changing the switch changed nothing, and it did give the ECM death/starvation code earlier (P0606 IIRC)

    98 K2500HD runs rough, possible IP?

    OK, tried it out again this evening. first key cycle, dead dash, no lights. turn off, immediately turn back on, dash light up, glows came on, LP primed, etc. fired right up. We are chasing something electrical for sure.

    Can LB7 injectors go bad from sitting?

    Hey all, I moved the project 01 around the yard today, its supposed to have pretty low time (50K miles? ) on a full set of injectors, and it never smoked at all up till today. when I fired it up and had it idling it started hazing whiteish smoke. This thing has always ran perfectly smooth with...

    98 K2500HD runs rough, possible IP?

    Fired right up today, let it idle, shut it off, wont start back up. let it sit for a few hours, fired right up. I only had glow plugs and lift pump prime on the second start (3rd attempt) I agree, possible ECM voltage issues. any common points in the harness to fail? remember, earlier on she...

    98 K2500HD runs rough, possible IP?

    OK, figure I better return to this thread, same basket case pickup. After sitting all spring summer and fall I finally tore into it again. I pulled the ignition switch and swapped it with a used one I got from a guy who pulled it off a pickup that was known runner with a blown engine, so the...

    Dually power upgrade project

    I guess we need to know the terrain you travel (flat land or nasty grades) and how big and heavy the trailer is. IMO unless the camper is a monster and you want to pull Donner Pass every weekend, I would stick with the 6.5L As far as weights, as long as you are within the GVWR and GAWR of the...

    88GMCtruck's 98 Silverado Towpig Build: "Black Fox"

    Nice looking burb, welcome back to 6.5L life! :) Any replacement history on the engine? I am a little worried about it being a 97, but hopefully if it lasted this long she should be one of the good ones!

    I think I may have gelled.

    I have wondered if a guy should duct tape two sheets of cardboard to the fuel cooler in winter time on the Duramax to ensure warmer fuel makes it back to the tank. We had an old GMC Astro cabover truck with a 6V92T Detroit Diesel, and the ol 2 strokes returned alot of fuel, many say fuel is...

    Electric Fan clutch

    Awesome chain of events guys, excellent work! So is someone going to be offering a pre-wired controller all set up and ready to go? :) I do have a question: what percentage of lockup can these fan clutches achieve? Are they an electro-magnet inside that can lock it 100 percent, or is it just...
