    Frame Rust...

    Wow the salt air must attack everything up there. If you ever need parts or info for your horns, my gf is an engineer @ Leslie Controls ;)

    Frame Rust...

    My 06 had rust on all the welds where the body mounts met the frame and the upper control arms were rusty. Not just surface rust and it never saw salt a day in its life.

    Pondering my brake upgrade options?

    Kind of OT but you mentioned something that caught my attention... Was rear brake pull a big problem on the GMT-400's? I had a 97 C3500 that had major rear brake pull after a botched rear brake job and no one could fix it. It would veer to the left during normal stops...verified it was the...

    LED Headlights Are Here!

    Nelly that's bright. They're about 22/44W so you won't melt any wires. I like the instant on like you said, no hitting the high beams and driving in the dark for 10 seconds while the HID's warm up... wonder how long it will be before they come out with normal modern replacement bulbs that rival...

    DMAX air box on a 6.0 gasser.

    My 01 6.0 HD had it bad. The first 10 seconds of any cold start: TICKTICKTICKTICKTICKtaptaptaptaptaptaptaptaptaptaptaptap.......silence. Never burned any oil though. That truck was quick but like everyone said, 12-13 no matter what. 15 was the best it ever did going 65 for four hours straight.

    PS Fluid for the Duramax

    I know nothing says to use it, but I flushed the 06 with TranSynd when I replaced the leaking hydroboost. It was in there for at least 2(?) years before it got traded and seemed to make the pump quieter while turning at low speeds with the brakes on. No more growling and nothing leaked.

    I'm insane

    What he said. The electric shifting takes some getting used to because you're pressing buttons instead of moving levers, but it's quick, self-adjusting and seems to work very good so far. I've only ridden it once because the weather was lousy over the weekend... much snappier than the other bike.

    fault code

    Going to put this in the Allison OEM section. :) P0700 only means that there are trans codes stored in the TCM. Have someone with a code reader capable of reading codes from the TCM scan and report what they are here.

    I'm an idiot that needs projects to keep busy apparently. Already decided to try selling privately first.

    Brake Upgrade

    Thinking about doing a brake upgrade to the car... come to find out it has the same 312mm rotors as a Boxter and all it takes is a set of brackets, calipers and ss lines to upgrade from the single piston factory calipers to a set of 4 piston fixed mono block calipers off of a 99-up 2.7L Boxter...

    04' LB7 transplant complete and now the rebuild begins: Updated build thread

    Looks good Paul. :) How does a heavily modded truck do as a daily driver? Asking because I've never been in anything that had more than a handheld tune loaded. Is it really squirrely to where you have to idle away from every stop, or can it be tuned to drive normally? There's no pucker factor...
