FAQ
Will CB1990P fit all 2001–2016 Duramax engines?
Yes—LB7/LLY/LBZ/LMM/LML 6.6L applications use this standard “A-rod” shell when the crank and rod bore are standard size and within spec.
How do I know if I need the “A” or “B” shell?
Check the stamp on each connecting rod. Use CB-1990P for rods marked “A” and CB-1805P for rods marked “B.”
Is machine work required?
Not for standard size if parts are in spec. Undersize options (-.25 mm/-.50 mm) require a properly ground and finished crank.
