Build Threads / Pulley's 2006 lbz
« on: March 27, 2017, 11:10:29 PM »
So I figured I should start a build thread to keep up with what I've done and so everyone can get their fix until a certain green truck starts moving. I found this white 2006 ccsb 4x4 lbz in Mesquite, Tx just east of Dallas which was about a 200 mile drive 1 way so I got to drive it a lot right away. I drive about 90 miles a day so most the stuff I'll do for now will be for reliability and fuel economy.
List of mods planned:
Exhaust, haven't decided between 4" or 5" and if i want a down pipe back or cat back
Lift pump
Egr block/delete, leaning towards block for now
Probably pcv reroute
Efi Live probably Idaho Rob
B&W turnover gooseneck hitch
Some subwoofer setup not sure what yet, really loved the way my 2 10's in the dually sounds that fires into the floor but it takes up all under seat storage
Spray in bed liner
That's all I can come up with off the top of my head but I'll add to it as I go along.
The day I picked it up 3/24/17
Mileage after I got home
Buying my first tank of diesel, $45 for 19 gallons
They had the oil changed the day before I got it so I didn't have to worry about that but the fuel filter was at 43% so I figured it couldn't hurt to change it. The filter change was fairly easy but getting the dang wheel well liner off was a pain. Took well over 45 minutes and put me in the dark changing the filter. Pro tip: the water sensor unplugs so you can unscrew that after removing the filter, I didn't notice until I was putting the new filter on.
Finally got the booger off after destroying all the plastic body pins
Old filter before I took it off, had to use channel locks to unscrew it right above the water sensor because apparently the hulk himself screwed the last one on. Forgot to take a picture of the new one.
That was my first fuel filter change on anything but a tractor but I guess I did a good job priming the engine because it fired right up and idled for a minute before I shut it off. Figured if it had a leak it would lose prime. Didn't get to pour the fuel from the filter back into the tank as I had it in a styrofoam cup which proceeded to dissolve a hole in it and leak out. Next thing I did was get my remote key fob in the mail and program it to the truck. It has electric locks but didn't have a remote, the dealer said they were about to get one but I showed up before they could.
Bought this from amazon for about $15 and programmed it in literally 2 minutes but the dealership wanted $74 for the remote, $52 to program, and 30 minutes to an hour to program.
