Great Video, question with the scanner you used. Are you able to do the Turbocharger learn procedure with the scanner you used or able to turn on or off the Vane position sensor with the scanner you used?

[@joyofwrenching]

probably could have the launch diagun is pretty advanced for its cost. I didn't have to do the relearn, it just worked fine after the swap and code clearing.

Hello, what scan tool did you use?

[@joyofwrenching]

link is in description to the Launch Diagun I use

What problems were u having ? My Lml in the cold mornings has zero power then it will kick in and take off . Stumped

[@joyofwrenching]

this one drove pretty normal, just threw a code for it. As for the Lml being sluggish when cold, I unfortunately don't have any ideas right off. I'd just be guessing, but thinking about things that may loosen or open up with heat... turbo vanes, dpf, fuel injectors?

[@lanestokes7025]

My LBZ is doing the same thing. Have you found the fix for your LML yet?

Hey how'd you get away with using cashmere??

[@slo-rideriverfloats9172]

What brand is a good one to use

[@joyofwrenching]

Gm is always best, but they are proud of them and ask a lot of money, so I usually go with Dorman and have had no issues personally.
