Send me info on the handlebar light
Scarsity of chassis? If anything this is the one chassis that isn’t that! I was gonna get a brand new one for my current build now. But going a cheaper direction. And I need help finding a cr linkage . I still can’t post on FB groups cause I’m in fb jail still. Freedom of speech is dead 😕
Craigs list? I was expecting the vid to be 10 years old 😂😂 Damn 2 years. Didn’t think ppl still use that! I’ve checked a couple years back looking for a terminator. And it was all spam shit
Walsh and lsr still hsve frames listed
Huh? Sure you can. Actually it’s easier than ever to get parts delivered. Not to mention more online shops than ever before. More variety than ever before. Just around my area a saw a couple used frames for sale. Since I just started looking now. Weird I come across your video! 😂 And new Walsh frame will be weeks maybe months brand new. But that’s why you order in off season 🤷🏻♂️
Hello, I am looking for a cheap beater quad just for the most fun and least regret if broken, should I look at size or power? (I am 180cm tall, 60kgs, 15 years old)
i would try to get 250cc of anything thats cheap. honda from my experience has the cheapest parts
I'm 40, but am only 5'5 and 108lbs. I ride a 500 Polaris. So it's really what you're comfortable with. A 250 would be a good starter for you. Are you looking for trail riding or utility? Because they handle far different. A used Polaris scrambler handles different than a Polaris sportsman for instance. I'd suggest going to a dealership and sitting on some,find what you feel most comfortable on. If you have friends that have an ATV ask to ride it. Always be aware of angles. Preplan on how to maneuver a hill etc to avoid tipping. Don't let the machine intimidated you.
Use tow haul mode when towing heavy loads. Service transmission regularly. Nice truck and video - I have one to - sport red. Expect 10 mpg.
I’ve just brought one, black with blacked out windows been well looked after even the brown leather hasn’t worn it’s a keeper every time I see it I love it more
Im just sharing what I've learned. Not trying to sound like a know-it-all. Low end torque keeps you moving but high RPM horsepower is what gets you up the hill. Lugging these trucks while pulling steep grades is harder on them then high RPM pulling. More RPM means coolant is moving through the cooling system faster helping to disperse the heat. Turbo is spooling harder and in it's "powr band". Air is moving over the stack faster. And the higher RPM is where the horsepower needed for acceleration comes in. Great video. Love the truck. Miss my LBZ. Currently in a 13 lml with 90 hp tow tune.
Yamaha vs polaris vs Raptor which one better?
You’ve got something wrong with that cooling system or that tune is wayyy too hot. That ECT is going to kill that engine. Tuning is all good but you have to have the supporting modifications. I have an 06 and tow heavier than that regularly and it NEVER crosses 205. Ever.
34" tire diameter can't be good for the trans and allowing the trans to hunt like that isn't helping either. I think with that setup, locking it in 3rd and dropping the speed would have proven beneficial for both engine temp and trans temp on that 7% grade.
Thank you for the review.
I was thinking of getting rid of my YFZ 450r and getting a CF Moto800 2 seater so me and the wife can get around glamis. Were not goin to hill climb or anything like that. We just want to get to the races and watch them. Were trying not break the bank, buying a side by side. Thx fit the video.
Hello friend, what type of wheels and tires. What size do I want to buy the same ones as yours?
they are 275/65/20 on the truck or 34.1 inch
Do you know the pin weight?
Do u run it in awd in the dunes?
I run it in 2wd in the dunes. It hasnt been an issue getting up anything
@@Rec-Star 🔥🔥 r u running sand paddles?
I am personally not running paddles. my friend with the S model does. i would say its not worth the extra expense. @@ya-v
@@Rec-Stargot it I figured appreciate it 🤝
You need a new fan clutch. My brand new one from dealer kicks on around 218
How’s your thermostats? Because my truck doesn’t run that hot going up hill pulling 14000lbs and your fan should have kicked in sooner. Just my thoughts..
thermostats are about 4 years old or around 30,000 miles, but the issue on that was the hose was leaking coolant most likely causing water pump to cavitate.
Let the truck work where it wants to. Better for the truck in higher rpm.
How did you set up the 250r to run the led light bar
I have a milwaukee 12v plug at the very front of my 250r that I just plug in a 2amp or whatever I have laying around battery into before a night ride. lasts a long time. before that I had made a 12V 5amp battery carrier under the seat, it was a pain to make sure it was charged the milwaukees are easier I use them to light my enclosed trailer as well.
Leave em stock
WOW Too much trailer, not enough truck I have a Kodiak C4500 for that much trailer Do you have a fass fuel pump system on there that’s gonna help your engine your injectors and the longevity of your engine and your fuel pump what kills that motor is overheating
I have an airdog lift pump!
Great video! thanks I also live outside of Vancouver and ride a rebuilt LT250R. Not too many of those old machines around here.
Mine never turns on idk why and when I try to kickstart it the kick starters becomes hard after several times quicking it but no power at all
that sounds serious to be honest. could be a bad crankshaft, maybe decompressor issue or even kicker could be bad.
@@Rec-Star yh could be that I’ve chocked it too yesterday I turned it on with caburator cleaner I think it’s the carb that’s gone bad I’ll have to replace it
@@Rec-Star got any vids on how to replace the carb on this motorcycle and where do you get your parts I’m new to all this Honda quad stuff
@@hectorespinoza7641 you shouldnt need to replace an FCR carb might be bad seals in there or wrong jets. they could go bad but its rare and you would have rebuilt it a bunch of times for that to happen
@@hectorespinoza7641 carb cleaner doesnt really do anything i just use compressed air but if the jet is corroded that jet will need to be replaced.
I towed my 18,000 lb Solitude around N Carolina/ Tennessee mountains last year and my LBZ never got hot. 26,500 total rig. Max boost I noticed was 25 psi. Towed on CTS 2 # 2 tow mode. It added about 40+ hp and 60+ of.
Do you remember what your EGT was? I set my max at 1350F, with the probe located at the rear cylinder exhaust manifold discharge passenger side.
@@HomeOnWheels320MKS Don’t know cuz I didn’t have the probe installed at that time. I mostly wheat off the coolant temp and tranny temp. I never pushed it over 65 as I found that’s the sweet spot for best fuel mileage. On the flats I got 12 mpg and thru the mountains it was about 10 mpg. With a straight pipe and 25 lbs of boost it was screaming up those roads. Get going before you hit the incline and keep the rpm’s up and that thing will move. Felt awesome passing all the semi’s.
On my 25ft gooseneck went from 10 ply tires to 14 ply tire 3 years ago and haven’t had flat or a blowout since:
I have a 2001 lb7 and all summer long I hauled 20,000 lbs total with 4x5 round bales of hay on a 25ft gooseneck trailer.Serval trips where over 30 miles one way. Never had any problems. Up and down hills it average about 2500 rpms I always use the tow mode.
Minus 1 swingarm? Is it better for the turns? What is the benefits ?
it handles a lot better in the turns and minor jumps. however for hills its not good. it flys in the trails compared to my stock length banshee
@Rec-Star nice!!! That's what I'm building now. Just a trail banchee for Florida trails. We have a lot of whoops and perfect berms. I just ordered a minus 1 fireball swingarm and the long travel A Arms. I already have the elka shock stage 3 with the link and the front stage 4 19.25 inch shocks. The bike handled good before but I'm hoping for better
Hello, I’m looking for any website have OEM banshee plastic 2006 black special edition, if u know tell me, thank you
You can still buy most things brand new. LSR makes a 250r frame for 3200
I currently own 2 LSR Banshee frames. I'm glad I bought them when I did. They're now $5950 shipped to your door..
What mods does the truck all have?
the truck is deleted. with a full y bridge and up/ down pipe. it has a 4inch exhaust with a muffler, and a motorops efi live tune.
What tune do you have and what can I do to have an exaust break? Let me know please thinking in buying a lbz!
my tune is from Motorops. its the efi live. When towing big I run it on the heavy tow tune.
@@Rec-Stardo you think this truck can tow a food trailer?
😂😂😂 my kinda guy! Shit load of bucks eh! Great video
Lbzed!! Lol😂
Nice build. I just built an 86. Yes it cost alot and took 18 months. I have close to 16-17k into with the cost of the bike i paid 2500 8 years ago. Yes parts are a pain
that much be a nice build!
Thanks for sharing. I'm gonna make another comment about gearing down. Higher engine speed means less strain, and probably less oil consumption.
Great vid. Those 01-07 Duramax trucks are very capable trucks stock, but even better when you unlock some of the true ability. I like that you deleted and appropriately tuned both eng and trans. Exhaust, intake. Really just easy, low hanging fruit upgrades, but the results are very noticeable. I would like to get an LBZ or an LB7 like I used to have, and do a decent build also in the attempt to keep the same truck for life and have it do work and play nicely. With such great aftermarket support, bulletproofing and unlocking power that rivals new trucks is actually affordable and practical.
Cool pull there. Need a pyrometer. Not hard to add. Yea, so lower rpm isn't necessarily better for the engine in every situation. In this scenario, dropping to a lower gear which would raise to a higher rpm would actually be easier on the engine. The pyrometer would indicate that by a dropping EGT temp. "Lugging" is trying to drive in a higher gear than the engine is happy about. You don't want to lug while towing. Those low rpms are hot as hell and that can ruin an engine. Anything over 1200-1300F on the EGT, u should lower the gear, raise the rpms, and watch the EGTs drop. If u need to test your coolant system for leaks, try a radiator pressure tester kit. That makes injecting air much simpler. Or a hillbilly pressure test would be to just use your air compressor to shoot air into the system. Take off the coolant bottle cap, try stuffing the spout with a towel or something like that as you poke your air nozzle in and pump air into the system like 20-30psi. An adapter that makes an airtight seal is ideal, as would come with a kit. Listen/watch for leaks while pressurized. If it can hold 20-30 psi steady for a little while without leaking air or water, good to go. Also u should notice a lower fluid level in the coolant bottle next time the engine is cool if a leak occurred while it was last hot. If u wanna go nuts with it, split up the coolant duties and add a liquid 2 air intercooler. Climbing is especially rough since the air blowing through the grill is slower compared to 70-80 mph cruising. This isn't just rough on the coolant system, it's rough on your charged air temps also. These trucks only come stock with an air 2 air intercooler which needs air speed and/or the front fan to kick on in order to be effective. So accelerating from a standstill, or climbing with a heavy load is limiting your engine's capability by a large amount because the stock intercooler isn't effective when you need it the most. Solution: add one or two liquid 2 air intercoolers after the turbo compressor, before the stock intercooler, on the hot side. This will require adding another separate coolant loop, including another overflow coolant bottle, another smaller radiator with a fan, an electric water pump, and hoses/wires/sensors/relays the works. You can also use this extra coolant loop to cool the transmission separately, relieving your main coolant loop from having to cool it. Just remove the stock trans lines from the stock radiator tank, then use 1 or 2 plate heat exchangers to make the auxiliary coolant loop cool the trans fluid. U can get a good radiator/fan/relay kit for cooling the aux loop from online. Derale, flexalite, and spal make great little radiators with fans in a kit. Run two of those in series underneath or in back of truck if need be. Then your main coolant loop would only have to cool the engine and oil, not the trans too anymore. The improvement in intercooling by adding the two liquid intercoolers in series before the stock air intercooler should make such an improvement in power that it feels like you've added a second turbo. Also you'll have that power at all speeds and inclines, regardless of airspeed across the front grille. Cheers
hey good write up! thank you
This is an incredible comment. Thanks for posting. Saving this video just for this comment alone.
you doggin that ole' girl. why arent you looking at egts??
thanks for comparison i haven’t seen anyone do this
U need to learn to gear down while ur climbing. Stop lowering rpm. That is what creates heat. Gear that bitch down, u shouldn’t be in overdrive at all unless ur doing 70 plus. Ul notice if u learn how to pull grades and keep it geared down u won’t get hot. Ur creating the heat tryin to keep rpm low. U need to pull grades at 2k rpm atleast. Ul keep cool, and prevent future damage. They’re built to be ran hard. Lugging arouns is the worst thing for them
Remember the more rpm the more air ur pulling thru the cooling stack. Ur heat soaking the engine compartment trying to keep low rpm’s up grades. Not to mention ur gonna glaze ur 6th gear clutches pulling heavy up steep grades in and out of 6. Some won’t even use 6 gear on flats with a load. Keep it heated down next time. 2k rpm minimum and ur truck will be much happier
What's up with your oil pressure?
Same happened to my chevy, turned out one of the heater hose clamp was about two turns from being completely tight. It was the hard one to get to so probably factory.
haha looking to do something very similar and this gives me the confidence to do it. Thanks for the video!
Just got an 06 lbz ccsb 4x4 Sierra last week, can’t believe how much pulling power this thing has. And the allison transmission forget about it, the shifts feel so smooth yet so solid
its an amazing truck, if it had like 3 inches of more rear leg room i would probably keep it forever. haha
Better to keep the rpm above 2k while climbing. Gets the coolant circulating faster and is easier on the trans, drop it into manual 5 and stay out of 5th and 6th as much as you can. Awesome truck, I've got an 06 lbz
You need to drop a gear to keep the rpms higher and allow that turbo to spin more helping to lower the EGTs.
Exactly i came back from California the day before yesterday and climbing the passed with 14000lbs behind me i was keeping it under 215 degrees and didn’t let me egt’s get over 1200 “2002 LB7”
My Cummins doesn’t care I’ve been lugging it for almost 17 years and the pyro is always in the red….
@@chuckschob107 OH ok, you're special. I'm sure if you keep it at 1400 plus degrees sustained, you'll pop a head gasket or melt parts.
I have a 97 Polaris Xplorer 500......basically the same thing as the Sportsman. I have a windscreen, winch, and rear storage/seat mounted. Weighs in around 860 lbs trail-ready. Have taken it to St. Anthony dunes and it gets around surprisingly well. Its a little slow compared to a Rzr800 or any bike/sport quad, but we actually parked a CFMoto 800 sxs because it didn't get around as well as my Xplorer. Bigger hills will require low range, but I stayed away from them. For sight seeing and hauling supplies out for a night time fire in the dunes, it was more than adequate. Now I gotta take my Samurai out there and see how it does!
Odd title for a video. It's like saying "Can a machine designed for the sand make it in the sand?" 🤦🏻♂️
Our fifth wheel is about 13,000lbs and my LBZ would get hot towing it last year. There's a long steep grade going to the lake we like to go to and it would get a little hot. Truck had 450k miles on it, turbo veins were clogged. So I replaced the turbo in it. Put a Mishimoto radiator in it. Hoping that helps the cooling issue. It seems to run about 10 degrees cooler or more when I'm not towing so I think it may help the problem. Will post back with results when I have a chance to tow it this summer. Let you know if it makes a difference or not.
mine was getting hot consistently until I took off the radiator and cleaned it. took a while but it made a huge difference.
Brock any updates?
@@stn7172 Not yet. Have yet to get the camper out so far this season. I did pull a trailer loaded with a car yesterday, air conditioner on and towed it up some steep grades and never got hot on me. Hopefully here in two weeks I'll be able to tell you with the camper on
@@brockkies8566what about now brock any updates now?
