LBZ Duramax Custom EFI LIVE Tuning! We write custom tunes for your 2006-2007 Duramax for any mods!
The LBZ is often looked at as the Holy Grail of Duramax models in recent years. The LBZ is "Factory Deleted" version of the later LMM model. Really? No. But the LBZ is a pre-emissions version of the LMM duramax and does not require a DPF or DEF module. The LBZ also is the last year of the classic GM HD pickup look.
New For The LBZ- Well not to mention a bump in power, revised motor, intake design, and other hard parts... We finally get a 6 Speed Allison Transmission with a larger clutch count to offset some of that extra power. More than likely if you bought an LBZ duramax 15 years ago it was because you already had an LLY or LB7 and loved it, but you wanted some refinement. A big part of that refinement was around the 6 Speed Allison 1000.

How does Motor Ops tuning improve an LBZ?
Motor Ops Tuning will deliver unrivaled reliable power and torque delivery. Our tuning creates a more enjoyable driving experience for the operator of the vehicle – meaning that you have power when you want it, a smoothly running vehicle when you don’t need it, exhaust gas temperatures that all operate under the factory parameters, and added features like an exhaust (turbo) brake that make things like towing a much easier task.
Why are Motor Ops tunes better than competitors for LBZ?
Motor Ops has specialized in delivering clean, consistent, and reliable power and torque since the company started. We understand how each engine operates, its shortcomings, and ways of overcoming issues. Our staff are industry enthusiasts and have extensive automotive and programming backgrounds. Not only do we have the know-how to deliver the industry’s most well-rounded tuning, but we also deliver the best customer service, and vehicle advice to accompany the tune.
LBZ Switch on the Fly, DSP5
When you have a DSP5 tune (shift on the fly), it has opportunity to adjust the tune based on the scenario. This gives the driver the ability to flip it into a performance tune whenever they want it. Drivers want the most power they can get in each application while maintaining reliability. That’s what Motor Ops delivers with our purpose built shift on the fly (DSP5) tuning.
LBZ ECM Tuning
Delete everything else you have heard about LBZ tuning; Motor Ops has you covered for all of your LBZ custom tuning needs.
Motor Ops offers 5 tunes for the LBZ: Our Heavy Tow tune optimizes performance to tow up to the GVWR (Gross Vehicle Weight Rating). A wider torque curve improves drive-ability while towing and adds 60 RWHP and 120 ft-lbs of torque over factory. If you’re looking to tow boats and other lighter payload below 8,000 lbs, our Light Tow tune adds 80 RWHP and 160 ft-lbs of torque.
Sport Economy and Race tunes are designed for off road use and may be restricted where you live. Sport Economy adds 100 RWHP and 200 ft-lbs torque over factory. Race puts your vehicle near the 430 RWHP mark adding 130 RWHP and 260 ft-lbs of torque. Optimized Stock is great for regular neighborhood driving adding +10 RWHP and +20 ft-lbs of torque. Motor Ops LBZ tuning will increase the performance of your truck to 430 RWHP and 840 ft-lbs of torque.
Motor Ops tunes are clean running tunes and, in many cases, produce less smoke output than a factory calibration. Our tow tunes are proven to have EGTs 100F lower than a factory calibration under load. Our tuning achieves market leading power gains without running high timing rates like many other tuners do; in fact, our tuning is within 2* of the OEM timing maps. All of these things will keep your truck on the road and prevent premature wear or engine failure on your LBZ.
You’re looking for a Duramax LBZ tuner, and our complete tuning packages include either EFI Live AutoCal or EZ Lynk AutoAgent. Box tuners such as banks tuner (derringer) or edge tuner might be less expensive options for LMM owners, but these box tuners leave a lot on the table in terms of drive ability, peak power, and reliability. Motor Ops LMM tuning will run smoother, produce more power, have lower exhaust gas temperatures under load, and prove to be more reliable than any box tuner on the market. Don't be penny wise and pound foolish.
LBZ TCM Tuning
Transmission tuning is strongly encouraged for any users going above factory power output. Motor Ops LBZ & LMM Transmission tuning addresses shift points, shift timing, and torque converter lockup strategy. We are not able to control line pressure on the LB7, LLY, LBZ, or LMM trucks like we do on LML and L5P trucks BUT addressing the shift points, shift timing, and torque converter lockup strategy on LBZ trucks does improve the drive-ability drastically; if a user has larger tire size than stock, and aftermarket turbo, or just doesn’t appreciate the way their truck’s transmission operates the transmission tuning will put a smile on their face.
EFI Live for LBZ vs EZ Lynk tuner?
Most LBZ owners go with EFI Live because EFI Live has developed DSP (Duramax switchable programming) which is also commonly referred to as switch on the fly. On EZ Lynk for LBZ, we currently only offer single tunes.
EFI Live Auto Cal V3 follows a more traditional tuning sequence where the tuning company such as Motor Ops loads their tunes onto the EFI Live Auto Cal and the user simply plugs the EFI Live Auto Cal into the OBD2 port and the tune is loaded in using the EFI Live Auto Cal to carry out the commands. We also provide simple instructions and support for EFI installations.
EZ Lynk is a cloud based tuning platform where “Technicians” (tuners) provide clients with access to their tunes via the EZ Lynk Cloud. The EZ Lynk Auto Agent 2.0 & Auto Agent 3.0 allows the user or installer to fetch the tune from their cloud after they have purchased the tune. Users connect the Auto Agent to the OBD2 port and connect to the Auto Agent using their Android or iOS phone or tablet. The user can then use their phone or tablet as a digital gauge display and as a programming device. We provide simple instructions and support.
Should I have a dealer do my tuning?
Maybe half of our customers go to a Motor Ops dealer to have their LBZ tuned and have other various performance parts installed if they are uncomfortable doing in themselves. Tuning an LBZ on EFI Live or on EZ Lynk is a very simple process and there are tons of resources available to the DIY guys. Call us and we will recommend a local performance shop if you don't already have one. Motor Ops has over 800 dealers that span across North America, Australia, New Zealand, Central America, and Europe.
What about Warranty work, selling or trading my LBZ?
