smoked for sure :tu:

I just couldn't decide cause the head lights have that clear look.... next part amber led or white led I have hid headlights in bright white

2004LB7 11-24-2014 10:10 PM

I would do clear so they match the headlights

Walker.B 11-25-2014 07:54 PM

clear it is I was thinking clear but amber led or white? how you liking your new dually?

2004LB7 11-25-2014 09:54 PM

I would do amber like stock as they are marker lights and to prevent any issues with DOT, highway patrol, etc.

For my truck. Loven it. Already been tuning it with Efi Live and having fun. Put, just like yours, bright white HIDs in the headlights. LEDs all the way around inside and out. On board air for tires & tools. Rear jumper cable connections. Swapped out the torque converter for a triple disc. Transgo jr installed. More to go but a good start.

I am seriously considering adding a s475 compound turbo. Want to put it together myself as i haven't found a kit i like yet. Also thinking of remote mounting it in another location for the stealth look and so i can keep the coolant resivor and battery stock. Maybe under the bed???

Still have to add an outlet in the bed connected to my inverter, lift pump and finish the bass speaker/amp

sounds like it's coming together great man. my next goal is to get my tranny built and efi live I'm thinking about getting my tranny built with my tax money when I get it ether that or a set of 35" mud tires and 2" rear wheel spacers and 2" leveling kit on the front. mine being the Alison 1000 5spd which is best a new converter or build it completely?

2004LB7 11-26-2014 12:20 AM

I would say build it completely. Just adding a converter has been known to shorten the life of the transmission as you are now able to put more torque on the clutchs causing them to slip. I would say to do the transmission first then do your tires. With larger tires and extra HP the transmission will be short lived and you will be building it sooner then you may have planed. If you do the transmission first it will give you time to get things ready for your tires.

I would say, other then efi live my built transmission was the best upgrade i did to my LB7

Walker.B 11-27-2014 10:45 PM

looks like if they are enough I'll get it built who's the best in built Alison's?

2004LB7 11-28-2014 01:25 PM

Bigdipper on the east coast and Mike L on the west. Otherwise i would ship it to Suncoast

Walker.B 11-28-2014 02:00 PM

suncoast better then ATS?

2004LB7 11-29-2014 02:51 AM

In my opinion yes. I have read many people's reviews and stories on both and SC seams to have less issues then ATS. ATS is not bad its just SC has a slight edge over them

2004LB7 11-29-2014 02:53 AM

Oh, one more. I am also not a fan of purple transmissions

Walker.B 12-08-2014 12:48 PM

I think I'll just get some good 285/75R16 Ats with my tax money I can't justify 5k to buy a built tranny right now haha and I could build it myself but I think it's outta my league so I'll just put it on a lower tune till I have enough extra money to justify a tranny mines not broke so I ain't fixing it lol
