I just picked up another Duramax (like I need more crap floating around). 06 CCSB w/LBZ and 6 speed Allison. 300k on the clock. No idea on the condition of anything other than it runs and has blown head gaskets.
Overall goal is not set in concrete. It did had a flatbed on the back and has airbags and overloads. I don’t know if I will flip it or run it. I already have an 03 that I have posted here and drive it daily. (I have a new truck to, just like driving the old ones).
My plan so far:
1) pull the cab and give myself plenty of room to work.
2) replace head gaskets (thinking I should stud it at the same time.
What all upgrades should I do while the cab is off. I want to get everything together prior. Probably just use LDS again.
4x4 doesn’t seem to want to engage. It says it goes into 4hi but only blinks for 4lo so not sure it actually goes into 4x4 at all. Should I pull the t-case and check for pump rub?
Thinking lift pump, not sure on turbo or exhaust and if it is even worth the money to upgrade? What about pulling and sending the injectors off to be tested? It runs fine now and these are easier to pull than the LB7 (I’ve done those a few times but never an LBZ). I like the idea of EFILive.
Just trying to get my plans together before I start.
