    You forgot to mention the air intake is not sealed to the outside air and sucks hot air from under the hood which adds to the hotter running temperatures so a cold air intake is most definitely needed

      On the highway my intake air temperature is maybe 3F above ambient temp, per my Edge CTS 3 scanner. I don't see much room for improvement.

      @RenGarage 17 днів тому

      Is it throwing a check engine light? The glow plug modules go bad on these. It won't throw a CEL but will have a code show on a GM specific scanner. Most people don't notice since it starts okay down to about 15F with no glow plugs as long as you have good batteries. My glow plug module has been bad since the day I got mine. I haven't bothered to fix it, does not get that cold where I live.

    You don’t have to go through the slot at all you can just take a flat screwdriver or a small pry bar That spring just keeps the adjuster from spinning on its own I like taking the wheel off because it’s easier to get at the adjustment And you can see what you’re doing better💯

    Glad to see someone show how to adjust it from the back side on youtube. I've checked out a half dozen videos and every one of them says pull the wheel. pull the caliper, pull the rotor, yada yada yada, when there's a slot on the back. I know how to do it on other vehicles and it's a pretty simple job, but I wanted to see if there was anything I could possibly do wrong.

    Don’t ever get rid of that truck. What a prime example of taking proper care of something! I noticed you said the truck has over 200k. Curious if you’ve done the pump rub upgrade on the t-case? I’ve got the same exact rig and opened up my t-case at just shy of 250k. I had a pine hole in the case but still about a quart and a half of fluid! Highly advised to check this on any GMT800! Not just lly!

    My LLY is now at 741,000 miles. One thing I didn't see covered is the wiring harness rub through. There are 3 other spots in the injector harness that will ground out, usually starts showing up on wet/rainy days. Water pumps usually last me 200k but had one go at 65k and the cover begins to errode inside. Brake and fuel lines are not quality items so they should be replaced before they rust out.

      The LBZ has a circular air filter housing rather than the square shape shown in the video. GM called the engine in the 2006 model a LLY for about three months even though it was really the redesigned LBZ. I heard it was because all the emmision testing wasn't implemented so they shipped the first trucks containing the new engine with the same power specs as the the true LLY from 2004.5 and 2005 and called it an LLY until they upped the power a few months later and changed the code to LBZ.

    The Allison spin filter also has a magnet that is removeable so it can be cleaned. Remove the filter,it should be either stuck to the top of the filter or it is around the threaded pipe nipple.if it is not there,soneone has changed that filter before and not known about it. There is also a internal trans filter as well. I have a 05 LLY with 380,650 miles on it. Orignal engine and trans. I see you run Stanadyne. I do as well. Every other month i use the brown label and every fill up a make a mixture of the blue label and the purple label.
