I have an 01 lb7! Definitely like the vids 100%
Awesome! It's always good to hear from fellow, LB7 owners. Please stay tuned for the rest of the videos; I've got some good stuff coming up! Thank you for watching!
Great video! I like the work bench!
Thank you! I'm glad you liked the video, and my welding table. I made it myself. Haha!
This is exactly what I want to do to my lb7
You won't regret it! These parts are amazing and they work incredibly well with everything else I've had done to it. Please stay tuned for the upcoming videos going over the rest of the parts I've had installed. Thank you for watching and for subscribing!
The singlecab 2wd is waaaaaaaay underrated. I have one with a 6.0 powerstroke and it makes more HP/TQ per pound than my friends new crew cab 4x4 6.7
Mine is 4x4, but I know what you mean. I love the get-up-and-go that this thing has! Since I haven't given in to the silly trends with huge lifts and high-offset wheels, my truck is quite the sleeper amongst the usual, diesel crowd.
Thank you for watching and for commenting!
FYI: I've put links in the description for the products featured in this video. Thank you for watching!
Thank you this is exactly what I'm wanting to do to my lb7. Your videos are very straight to the point and informative so, much appreciation there! I'm also located in ky, about 45 minutes from Lexington, but I work in Lexington all the time. Id love to see your truck in person some time and maybe talk parts/ mods with you. Looking forward to the next video!
@@christiankuchenbrod3878 Thank you for the compliments! I'd love to meet up sometime and show it to you, too! Please email me at Jay.LB7.Russell@gmail.com so we can figure out a time and place. Thank you for watching and for commenting!
I got a 01 lb7 just like yours that I plan to do the same mods and maybe a few more definitely like the videos
Thank you! Please take a look at the rest of my build videos to see how all of my upgrades work together. I'm incredibly impressed with all of them! Thank you for watching and for commenting!
I had the same fitment issues on my truck. I ended up ovaling the downpipe to clear the up pipes.
Yeah, I didn't want to put any dints in my downpipe. Haha! I really wish I got the PPE downpipe so that I didn't have to deal with this. I think the PPE one is cheaper as well.
Thank you for watching and for commenting!
Those exhaust manifolds are the chit
They sure are! They really help my Fleece Cheetah turbo spool up! Please check out the next video in my build series if you're curious about that.
Thank you for watching and for commenting!
On the downpipe did you have two put two gaskets on both sides of that spacer?
What kind of reduction did you see on your exhaust gas temps?
Hey, Dan! Great question. Unfortunately, because these were installed as part of a very large build on my truck, I can't really answer that. I didn't have an EGT probe before installing them, either. However, I can say that the EGTs are very well controlled, though. I don't tow very often, but I have never had any issues with EGTs - even pulling heavy with my Banks tuner turned all the way up.
Please let me know if you have any additional questions. Thank you for watching, commenting, and subscribing!
Hey brother how did you fit the down pipe with the fleece cheetah? Did you have to re use the shim that you use from the factory down pipe ?
The down pipe bolt right up to the Cheetah turbo since it uses the factory exhaust housing. I had to put a spacer in it because the PPE up pipe hit the MBRP down pipe.
@@JayRussellDuramax got it yeah I got the same exact parts you help a lot with the installation a couple years ago I appreciate that I’m going with the cheetah as well and wanted to ask what did you do did you think if I go with the ppe down pipe I should be fine ?
@@Luistdelgado7 The PPE up and down pipes will work together without interference. The only need for the spacer is when using an MBRP down pipe with PPE up pipes.
@@JayRussellDuramax thanks a lot for your information I’m gonna to order that today I also called fleece to ask about my tune how will work with that turbo and they said I should be fine that won’t need retuned required I’m just going to give it a shot 🤞 thanks again bud 🍻
What is on your filter housing head?
It's a Fleece Performance Primer Bulb Eliminator kit. I put it on because the primer bulb was leaking after I had my FASS fuel system installed. I've since removed the filter head entirely, though, as it kept leaking.
Please let me know if you have any additional questions about my truck and what I've done to it. Thank you for watching and for commenting!

What are your thoughts after a year I’m doing the same exact parts on my lb7 too
Since I did so much at once, I can't say what these did specifically. But, I'm extremely pleased with how well my truck responds now that these exhaust parts are on it! They've clearly removed a TON of exhaust restriction. In hindsight, I'd get the PPE down-pipe to avoid the clearance issue I had with the MBRP one.
Please let me know if you have any additional questions about my truck and what I've done to it. Thank you for watching and for commenting!
@@JayRussellDuramax Thanks I really appreciate your quick response , i did think about that to late too I got those same parts as you and let me tell you that your video help me a lot to get this done with out returning anything and make it work I’m almost done with getting this parts on my truck I let you know soon I finish with the project if that’s okay thanks again I really appreciate your help
