Being that he is from Florida I believe there is no diesel emmisions like here in Georgia. If im right I highly doubt there was def, dpf or anything on it.
yeah we have no emissions. I pulled my DPF right after I got my truck. One of the issues with them is setting our pastures on fire because of how much hotter they make the exhaust pipe. I was just saying someone that really doesn't know much about diesels would be worried about temps that really may not have been that high
Just throwing this one out there. Green machine didn't you instal some new dynatrac 60's and gear them at 3.45? because it matched the diesel and the tranny. So now with the LS you'll probably have to re-gear your new 60's [emoji15]
What kind of EGTs was it exactly running? Also what size exhaust? Ever consider bumping it up?
Yeah special ordered the axles from Dynatrac with 3:54's. I am going to regear them, probably to 4:56. I've heard that with the V8 you want to be at around 2300 rpm at 70 mph.
So it's no longer a free conversion if you are spending $3000+ to regear.
Yeah I guess you could say that.
:cheesy:
And you don't have an issue with spending another $3K to fix their screwup?!
Well I think the gears are my problem since it was my decision to special order with those gears. So i'm going to have to eat the $$$ to regear.
Do you think 4:56 will be correct with 37's?
:banghead:
Jesus H Christ. I am going to leave this thread now.

Thats a tough question. Are they going to install it properly so it makes the correct power? If so maybe ok. My friend runs 4.88s with his motech ls3 and 37s. But since it is a bruiser ls3, if they install it like your diesel it will make less power than a 3.8 with two plugs removed and you'll want really deep gears.
I know better than to ask but who is doing the regear?
Paco's Taco/Drivetrain Garage.
