      LM2 turbo blanket
      By Ronjon
      Has anyone found a blanket that fits the lm2 turbo or modified one to fit?
      Amazon has some inexpensive blankets for other turbos I wouldn't be against modifying.

      Water Pump Pulley 5.3
      By Michaelavh
      Good evening, I have 2020 Chevy Trailboss 1500 5.3 I recently ran into the issue of the water pump pulley breaking and wanted to see if anybody knows if it’s possible to just change out the pulley or would I have to change out the whole water pump?

      4,000 mile trip coming LBZ wierd random miss
      By topgear1224
      Hey guys so I asked on Facebook and I didn't really get very far so I figured I'd bring it up here. 120,000 mi completely stock.
       
      Here's what's going on.
       
      so with the converter locked and I believe in 5th gear around 1500 RPM I randomly get what feels like a misfire when applying light throttle until the turbo spools up.
       
      I bought this truck from an auction all the glow plugs were bad replaced all those. 
       
      The truck had some dead battery issues right before it went to auction so I looked at the stored codes but ended up clearing them because a lot of them were communication codes which would be related to a dead battery.
       
      All filter replaced, all fluids (except trans and xfer) replaced.
       
      I meant to write down the actual codes but one of them was for EGR and the other ones was for glow plugs.
       
      I've replaced the glow plugs everything is completely fine as far as that goes. the filter head does like to lose a little bit of prime overnight so if I just fire it up first thing in the morning it'll run a bit rough if I put about two pumps onto the primer it runs completely smooth after start.
       
      I have conflicting data from different scan tools some of them are showing the EGR experiencing large error % as far as deviation. My all tell is showing small amount of error (2% at idle) but not enough to trigger a code.
       
      Doesn't feel like 605 torque if I'm honest. Pretty sure my 8.1 could out pull it at this point.
       
       
      Here are the fuel numbers 
       
      Attached is some OBD live data
       
      First few are some screen shots. The one with the date is the most recent.
       
      Here is a link to the EGR doing it thing last week while I drove around town.
       
      Big drive south (AK to AZ) supposed to start tomorrow night. But I don't want it to brake down in the middle of nowhere.

      New Radiator/Trouble getting up to temp
      By MacAaroni
      Installed a new all aluminum Cold Case radiator in my 06 Sierra 1500 4.8L and I’m having trouble getting up to operating temperature in the normal time frame. I would think this will especially be an issue in the winter, but I’m in Texas so winters are no exactly terrible. Is this something I should be concerned about in the long run not reaching op temp on the majority of my drives? 
       
      Getting my temp to the 200 degree standard operating temp will take me about 40min of non stop highway driving while the fans are running with the AC on. My temp will climb to the 185-187 thermostat opening fairly quickly 10-15min but as it opens and the fans run, it is just too much cooling for it to ever reach op temp in a decent time. Also if I keep my fans off, and it does reach 200 degrees, in 15-25min, once I turn the fans back on, the temp will drop to 185-187 within 5-10min. 
       
      I know this radiator was a bit overkill for my stock application, but I wanted an aluminum rad to not worry about leaking issues in the future from plastic rads.
