This channel was originally devoted to my 2001 Front End Swapped Duramax! Covering anything from drag racing to truck pulling, parts installs, how-to videos, etc. I just love talking about diesels, working on them, racing, truck pulling and I figure you guys do too so I wanted to create a place where we can all get together. Follow along and feel free to give me your input on what you think of the truck and anything you would like to see done to the truck or on the channel!

WCFab Powdercoated My Alternator And It Looks AMAZING!
supposed to be about changing front drive shaft ujoints on gm. was mainly about ford
These look good! I am ready to pull the trigger on these. I'd like to color match these to my silver truck, I don't think the black will blend well and color matched will be cleaner. My only worry was drive through car washes where we are, they are super convenient out here. My worry is the brushes damaging the lights or leaking through.
I don’t have any first hand experience with that yet myself, I generally wash my truck manually with a pressure washer so I can’t tell you how well they hold up to the brushes. I can say that 4-5 washes with a pressure washer directly on them I have not experienced any leakage.
How strong impact I need? Mine lug nut just gets stuck against washer and stops spinning.
@@skorpsaiyan2361 You need a lot of torque to pull the stud thru, they are meant to be extremely tight. I used a M18 Fuel 1/2 Impact gun.
@@FixedVaneDuramax Thank you!! I'll probably try that as I've had no luck with 2 different wrenches under $100 so far. It says up to 450 NM for torque apparently not enough. I've always hand tighten everything so I'm new to all these impact wrenches. Great video so much appreciated!
So basically before you even think about modifying your diesel engine decide to drop 5 to 10 grand on building your transmission 😑
Really just depends what you’re going for. If you want a bit more power to tow with and enjoy, you can make a stock allison live a very long time with tuning+ bolt on mods. If you want 500+ hp that you can use and beat on without a concern, you need a trans that can handle it. It’s expensive but I will say that having that peace of mind when you put your foot to the floor that the trans will hold is worth every penny, especially if you are in the competitive field.
@@FixedVaneDuramax yeah I understand it's just that's so expensive on top of the truck being expensive but I'm just making myself feel bad I can't modify mine in fact I need to sell it I didn't know anything about diesel and got ripped off on spending 10 grand on a 04 6.6l Duramax that has 220,000 miles is puffing blue smoke ever time you rev it and you can see white smoke coming out of the cap 😔 I wish I would have known
What is the name of the part to replace thanks
There is a link to the upgraded MPROP in the description of the video👍
Came here for a damn taillight video not a damn pull of your truck Jesus. what was the point of adding that
Great video! Just changed it in on my 2013 LML and took 40mins start to finish. Your video was a great help! Thanks again!!
How do I do a burnout ? New to trucks and lb7s … what gear and tune I need it on and how do I good the brakes while pressing skinny pedal and etc ???
Thanks man for the video
UMMM helpful video thank you
Badas lights man
Would your quad make a lound clicking noise when ever you turned?
Let me ask you a real solid question. On the lb7 fb forums everyone right now in 2024 is dissing LDS injectors I see u have used them . What’s ur thought on them ?? Everyone is saying like 2015-2019 they used s&s but have stopped and are using there own injectors and warranty sucks and there flow rates don’t match as what there sold for . Whats ur thought im looking to buy Some and there 45s I can get whole set with everything I need around 3500 with anywhere else its around 4 grand with just sac 00 . I know ur busy but I love the channel and seen u have used them and wondering if u me and wanted injectors where would you go other there s&s , exergy
Good question...here is my long winded experience with LDS. I bought these 65% SACs (new not reman) from them, with the install kit. Tore the truck down and installed them myself meticulously. Had the truck retuned, it ran great for 2-3 days. Then, driving home one night the truck started pouring white smoke and fuel knocking so loud I thought the crank was broken. Poured through diagnostics until finally I came to the conclusion that one of the injectors (#8, back drivers side) had a stuck open solenoid. Reached out to LDS, they told me I had to pay $50/injector to have them retested on their test bench. So I tore the truck back down, pulled them out, sent them back and paid for testing. Sure enough, #8 was bad, had a stuck solenoid. They replaced that injector under warranty. Had no issue with them after that point. I was pretty upset that I had to pay to have them retested to prove to them that they had made a mistake, and that doesn't count what would've been shop labor costs if I were to have had a shop do the 2 separate injector install jobs for me. So for those reasons, I would recommend paying more for Exergy or S&S the first time.
Delete it you won’t regret it it’s a absolute day and night difference and sounds awesome as well as dominate stock turbo classes without clogging your dpf
How do you like the ht2? I have a derringer it it seems decent.
I've liked it so far, about 6 months in with it. Definitely woke the truck up quite a bit and made it much more enjoyable to drive. I also like that I can adjust the throttle sensitivity within the tuning as well. I have not driven an L5P with full tuning such as duramaxtuner or PPEI to compare it to though. I liked it enough that we bought ECM/TCM tuning through Edge for our 2020 High Country we have as a farm truck.
I had to replace my senior. It was so clogged that my truck threw a check engine light. Later, I found out all you do is clean it. All well another lesson learned 76k on it currently
Did you use a screw driver or a socket wrench to loosen the screws I’m trying to figure out what’s best I don’t want to strip out the bolts
Nobody should go more than 10 wide wheels. Looks good
How many miles on the truck?
Right at 100k now.
I like your video, first time seeing your channel. I`ll be doing my lbz and I`m just watching as many as I can. In your opening you had a shot of the truck on a dyno, did you take a small percentage off for going down hill?
No I did not, I would assume that is built in to the calibration of the dyno itself if it is a necessity, though I’ve never heard of that personally.
Engine related question.....was the truck still stock internals when you sold it? Never had a problem with a bent rod? Serious question! Please and thanks
Good question, yes it was stock bottom end. Yes it was still healthy when sold. I compression tested shortly before the sale, all cylinder were 385-420 psi.
How did we ever let this emissions nonsense ever happen??
How can I tell if metal made it to the high pressure side?
I really need to know that size of wheels and tire setup on that LB7. I love the look and want to get off my OEM wheels with larger tires. I have a 2003 2500hd Duramax LB7 and love it with ky Bully Dog GT. Someone please advise - thank you.
This truck had 20x12 -44 wheels with 305/50/R20 toyo proxes in this video.
Quick question I have to change my cp3 I’ve been told I need to have the truck in time in order to do so is that correct?
Hey good question. The cp3 does NOT need to be timed. On older engines without electronic fuel injection the pumps were responsible for delivering fuel at the proper time to the cylinder. On a common rail/EFI system the fuel injector has an electric solenoid on the the body that opens and closes to deliver fuel at the correct time and quantity (Hence the term electronic fuel injection.) The gear on the cp3 pump can be meshed at any point in the rotation to the cam gear.
Thank you
Can you swap a 3500 duramax 2001 to a 06 cat eye??
Sold the lb7 😂 sick
Nicedowngrade brother
Not sure why but I did not have to move the AC, undo the belt or remove any hardware. All I had to do is disonnect a couple of wires to shift over the harness on my 2014 Silverado 3500HD LTZ. Thanks for the Video,
Holy shit that garage door is a beast! Have you got any pictures of it? Also the truck looks awesome but as a garage door technician I’ve never seen a door like that😂
Just installed new Cp3 and my truck actual pressure is going up to 11-17k and goes back down after a min, driving it’s fine . Thought might have been FPR but unplugged it and made it max out so it’s not that . Than unplugged the fass and it went back to normal at idle so I need to do this I reckon correct sir ????
did it affect alignment?
What wheels and tires do you have
Is it supposed to slide right in? Because mine doesn’t want to wiggle in past a certain point
Not sure if this was answered or not but is 600hp to crank or wheel? I’m going to be building a duramax similar to your setup soon and am curious to what I should expect. Real clean truck btw 👌🏻
That 3/8 hose for turbo coolant return right ?
Im getting a p1093 any ideas?
So I actually don’t mind the angle but I’m having the issue we’re the driver side seems like it’s facing to far out that when I sit in the driver seat and have the top glass pushed all the way in I can barely see my truck at all. Do you think putting washers on the side bolts closest to the hood on one side would angle it in a little and help?
Is That h7 or h8 led Bulbs?
Just bought the same truck with a 3-in leveling kit in the front, people are saying I need new A arms because they are at their limit? Any advice? Thanks
Yeah good question. In this video I show that my upper control arms are almost touching the bump stops directly underneath them when the truck is on level ground, I couldn’t even fit one finger between them. If you drive over any bumps or offroad at all as the suspension cylces down the UCA will drop and hit the bump stop, which will make for a harsh ride for you. Different aftermarket companies make control arms that are not flat like the OEM version, so that you have much more clearance between the UCA and the stop. They also change the geometry so that in a leveled application the ball joint is resting closer to the center of its range vs being cocked to the side due to the angle of the UCA. I personally went with Kryptonite UCAs for this truck. I now have about 2” of clearance between the UCA and the bumpstop and almost perfectly centered balljoints.
@@FixedVaneDuramax I appreciate the quick response, I forgot to say I was going to get some 22x12 with 33s. Basically the TIS 544s 22x12 . I've noticed aftermarket a arms for a 2 to 4-in lift. So that would work out? No need for a quick response like tonight but definitely appreciate you getting back.
Some companies have UCAs that are specific for their lift kits so be careful of that but as a whole yes that would work. Here is what I have, that I know would work for your application as I am essentially doing exactly where you are. dmaxstore.com/products/kryptonite-upper-control-arms-2011-2019
@@FixedVaneDuramax , Thanks
Thinking the same. They install the blocks, not even the ones I was thinking of, I was thinking of the round ones that go on top.
i put one of these on my truck. i have went 2 oil changes now over almost 8000 miles now and the sensor still looks great before i had to clean this sensor offten
them 6.4s were getting down
GM should have done this at the factory after the CP4 problems were discovered.
Is this Peoria?
Yes sir
Good video, have never came across these until today and was like wtf lol, usually a wham bam thank you ma'am did the trick, and I couldn't see any retainers. For those without an acetylene torch and don't want to use so much heat, like myself... a butane torch directed at the top of the cap for a min or 2 and the plastic/nylon will push itself out under pressure....it stinks
Lmao you act like you didn’t do much to it. 5 minutes in and you’re easily 15k worth.
I’m just making sure but I’ve heard this will only protect you fuel rails and injectors. I believe if your cp4 blew up you would still have to clean the fuel lines and gas tank
Do you know if I can swap the front end of a 2002 Gmc Sierra to a front end of a Silverado of the same year. Not Cat eye
Yes you can, you can also put on Cadillac front ends
Running the truck with no ficm don’t hurt the truck?? Or that really just for competition and not daily driving ??
To be clear the FICM is still there and controlling the fuel injection, it is just not being fuel cooled as designed from the factory. Not much of a real benefit beside that it allows you to remove several of the hard lines crossing over the valley of the engine bay. Personally I ran this truck without FICM for several years as a DD with no issues before I retired it to a competition only/weekend driver.
Thanks buddy. About to go in and change the cp3 on my lb7 so was trying to run 1/2 hose from my lift pump to it and make some room in the valley removing hard lines
