Your welcome. Always glad to help.

Thats great to hear. I'm glad everything is going good for you. I picked up an 85' Suburban as a project truck a few months back, shes not pretty, but she has talent. Other then that not much new, just working and trying to save money. Had to take a semester off from school because I lost my...

Yes. Thats one of the strongest parts of the truck. Place the cup on the jack under the rear differential (pumpkin) and start jacking.

Do you mean by 'own' that you have the title? Or just have the truck?

On my trucks, I place the jack under the front cross member, jack it up, and then the Jack stands go one under each lower control arm. To rotate the tires though you really need 2 sets, but if your in a pinch, jack up the front and put them on stands. Then place the jack under the pumpkin on...

Hey Gramps, how have you been?

Alright guys and gals, lets see them. What year and engine code do you have? 03' LB7 here.

Thats cool. It is a nice truck, and a nice conversion. You should be proud.

I've never used their oils but the power steering fluid they make works great. Quiets pumps right down and makes the steering more smooth. I've also tried their fuel cleaning additive but didnt notice any difference.

Thats awesome. You guys did a great job. Whats the weight capacity of the lift?

Unless you live in a really cold climate, stick with the 5W-30. The first number (5W) in a non straight weight oil is its ability to flow when cold. The lower the number, the better it flows. So, in the cold (32*F or colder) a 5W will flow better then a 10W, and a 10W will flow better than a...

Thats great. Did you do the work yourself? How is the lift powered, a PTO or an external generator?

Thats great. Lets discuss them. What do you have? I understand and appreciate you trying to help, but we are arguing interpretation, so neither of us can win.

Awesome. Do you have any pictures of it?

The first two lines of the site; If you want to split hairs, your partially correct. Yes, GM built the engines, but they were designed by Detroit. Kind of like during WWII when a number of different companies built Jeeps. It was still a Jeep, even if it was built by Hudson, Packard, Dodge...

No worries. I've had the same problem with my LB7. The bad news is the valve is not serviceable, you have to replace it. Good luck.

I am sorry my friend, they are not GM, they are built by Detroit Diesel. GM did own Detroit for a number of years but did sell their stake in the company a long time ago. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Detroit_Diesel_V8_engine

Just curious if there are any other Detroit Diesel owners on the site. So, who here has a 6.2L or a 6.5L? And what vehicle do you have it in?

I love my K&N intake on my 03', improved performance and the turbo whistle is awesome!

If it leaks again, check the CCV valve and lines, if they are clacked or plugged, you will get a persistent little drip.
