  1. I'm running the obx headers myself. You can't run a plug wire with the fiberglass heat socks and have the sock and wire touching the header itself. You'll cook the wire and it'll split and arc to the header causing ALL kinds of problems (oil pressure sensor reading incorrectly, cylinder misfire, popping exhaust, black smoke from the exhaust, exc exc) I posted this awhile ago, you need these

    For the back two plug wires on the drivers side. Sorry for the pic being upside down, but you get the idea.

  2. The duramax MAPs plug into ours and fit in the L92 manifold just as the stock unit does and they're 3.3bar I believe. I bought one, but now I need the 3 bar LS9 map and pigtail because my Hi Ram won't accept the stock map :banghead:

  3. Honestly I wouldn't put any of the silver washers in the accumulator cup. The spring you switch that comes with the kit is a lot beefier and will crispen up the shifts just fine on its own, no need to compress it farther. I put one in and it clunks pretty hard sometimes at part throttle shifts. It says "street/strip" but it's a little too aggressive and kind of nasty on hard parts. Just some advice from a guy who's been there. when I pull my Trans pan again, I will be removing that washer.

  4. Go with LTs. Also, I'm confused about you wanting to install one single cut out when you're going to be installing a X pipe??? If you have dual exhaust you need two cut outs and if you have a Y pipe that connects the two banks down stream, why bother having a X pipe at all? If you can't stand the drone now with cats make sure you have some serious noise killing power in the exhaust, (especially with a cam) or you'll really have some drone.

  5. First let me say I'm no cam expert, but please don't over cam it. Seems to be a mistake a lot of people make. 3600 is perfect for a mid-low 22x intake duration and low 23x/high 22x exhaust duration. The L92 heads flow very well on the intake side so there's no need for a big cam. Besides, you're in a heavy ass truck. You'll want a little TQ down low for the street, just because you have a 3600 stall doesn't mean you'll be using it all the time. Im running a 3200 stall on my 224/228 and wish I went 3600.

  6. The 4x4 yes but the 2wd were all 5 lug. You know we have talked about this also I haven't really followed thro on looking what will fit.

    Oh yeah, forgot about that. The 5 spokes I posted didn't clear my calipers at all. I don't know how digger Dan got them to fit :donno:

  7. Everything JC03SS said. I would suspect your timing chain is ok though. But check it out.

    Some people will recommend swapping the oil pump. Meh, if it ain't broke, don't fix it. IMO

    Replacing it is a lot more involved, plus has potential for oil ring to get pinched and loose oil pressure to motor.

    From what I remember the oil ring has to come off because the pick up tube has to be pulled anyway if doing the timing set. I pulled my pump, tore it down, cleaned and inspected it before reinstalling. I don't think I'll be reusing it next to around though 320 000km on it now.

     

    On a side note, if you are changing the timing set and pull the pump, buy a NEW pick up tube O ring and be VERY, VERY careful not to pinch it when reinstalling the tube or you'll be pulling it apart again because of oil pressure issues. It's hard to see the O ring seating due to how the pick up tube bolts to the pump so try to feel around the tube every now and then to ensure it goes in correctly.
