doesnt matter if its gas 6.0/8.1 or diesel. To the original poster- yes, everything is 100% bolt on. All the body computers will talk fine to a duramax ECM.
Can you replace a LB7 with a LBZ?
—For 2003-2004 LB7 to LBZ conversion, yes, you can swap in an LBZ instrument cluster and have functional tap-shift and “M” mode display. The LBZ instrument cluster is plug and play into an 03-05 truck, however keep in mind your odometer mileage will NOT transfer over.
Why is the LBZ Duramax so good?
The LBZ employed a thicker engine block casting, meatier connecting rods, and a higher pressure common-rail fuel system. This gave it more power and reliability versus any other Duramax to that point.
Will a Allison Transmission bolt to a 6.0 Vortec?
According to GM, the Allison can safely do this at no more than 4850 RPM. I was told that if you reduce engine torque, the transmission can spin higher. So a Vortec 6000 or Vortec 8100 could spin the Allison 1000 higher than 4850 RPM since they both have much lower torque outputs.
Which is better LBZ or LB7?
The LB7 – stronger internals, injector issues, and 5 speed trans. The LLY – stronger internals, headgasket/overheating issues, but no injector issues, and 5 speed trans. The LBZ – weaker internals (pistons are weaker), but no injector/overheating/headgasket issues.
Which is better LLY or LBZ?
