Duramax Build Part 14: Putting the Cab Back onto the Frame
In this video, I give you guys a quick status update on the progress I've made in the last couple of months. I am still in the middle of what feels like an eternity of bodywork! At least I have the cab painted in all the right spots and it is finally ready to be installed back onto the frame.

I've recently installed the heat exchanger identical to yours. Funny enough, my first project is a 77 k10. Any tips/ suggestions before teardown?
Awesome! And yes, don’t throw anything away!!!! It’s super easy to say “nah I’ll just get a new one of these…” and then you realize they don’t make them anymore 😂! These trucks are great and good luck on your project!
@richphippsgarage 25+ years Auto Body technician. If I am good at anything, it's losing parts. :) But yes, well noted. If I may suggest? The under frame portions a can if raptor guard after Ospho would be easy. Keep up the videos, man. Can't wait till it's done.
One last thing I forgot to mention. I've purchased 2x AN -8 female fittings and 4x brass 1/2" compression rings. I intended on using the AN'S for the heater exchanger and 1 brass ring on each outlet from the compressor with OG fittings. My question is, should I or shouldn't I flare/double flare any of the connections? I've tested and have worries with enough threads.
@@knightbro2003 sorry I was confused at first, didn’t realize you were talking about the compressor video! I reused the original fittings on the pump outlet and the tank inlet. I looked at the old tubing to see what kind of a flare to put in it but I do remember flaring the new stuff to match.
@richphippsgarage awesome! Thank you very much. Sorry for the confusion. Dry air is crucial for my future business. Hydrodip is very finicky. Thanks again.
Still first!
If you want bone dry air you must run your air tru a A/C dryer (not the silica bottle) Your intercooler Air Cooler inside a A/C BOX
A little Sil Glyde or Red & Tacky never hurts. I put that stuff on everything! 😁
Awesome glad you got it
First!
Prime 1st or shoot a light mist n see if it reacts
As long as u got material Keep trying!
This is rad, very well done! None of the other videos I’ve seen have gone into the extension shaft assembly properly! Incidentally I forgot my snap ring at the synchro on my last attempt somehow and trashed a couple things so your video has been hugely helpful for seeing what parts I need
Hey @matthewsmotorsport, thanks for watching! I’m stoked that the video helps you out and good luck with your rebuild!
First
Would those shocks fit a 2015 tahoe ppv?
Awesome build . I got a 77 c20 I’m rebuilding the entire front suspension and steering components now . I got a 467 built by mark jones and tremec tkx 5 speed . I’m not doing as in depth rebuild as you are but doing a full mechanical rebuild . I painted my frame with Eastwood rust encapsulater . Thanks for the video
Thanks! Man that sounds like a healthy powertrain. I have an OBS Chevy with a 408 mated to a T56 and it is wild! (Well not currently since it’s taken apart 😂) good luck on your build!
Excellent series!! Following this build as template for my ratish rod idea. Picked up an LBZ yesterday still have a lot to figure out lol.
Thanks, hopefully my videos can help you out! A Dmax powered rat rod sounds badass. Are you going with a squarebody?
@@richphippsgarage 57 Pontiac Chieftain. Has the perfect patina.
Very cool! With the LBZ, that car is gonna go through some tires lol!
What engine stand are you using with that DMAX?
It’s a 2000lb capacity engine stand from Jegs. Here is the link: www.jegs.com/i/JEGS/555/80042/10002/-1
@@richphippsgarage thank you much!!!
Did you do a video on rebuilding the Allison, would like to see that.
Hey Travis, no unfortunately I did not shoot a ton of video during the trans work.. mostly because I have no idea of what magic is going on inside of that thing 😂
@richphippsgarage Same here, I've done 350 and 400 , don't know if I can tackle a Allison. Love the build great job.
I have a c20 im doing a 4x4 swap
Nice! Thanks for watching Tony, and good luck on your project!
Refrigerated cooler works ,600 bucks and you eliminated all that stuff
What kind of flare nuts did you use? My compressor uses 3/4” OD copper tubing. I ordered 3/4” OD flare nuts off Amazon and my connection points are 3/4” NPT and they do not match up.
Could you put the hole conversion together as a drop in to send to Australia cheers
Well that takes all the fun out of figuring it out as you go! And besides, if there was a drop in option I would’ve bought it already!
You could of bought a dryer that works for the money n time you waisted
Ready for many more miles of abuse! Well done!
Thanks Greg! Should be ready for the track!
thank you for posting this.. best video out there
Thanks! Glad that it helps!
First!
😎 Bill is the bondo king you know? he should come help 😂 😝
So I made essentially this same setup, same IR compressor as well(175psi). But instead of running a single filter after the Derale radiator I ran a 3 stage Nanpu set from Amazon. Filter, coalescing then desiccant dryer then into the tank. Within 3 seconds of turning it out the 1st filter stage of the Nanpu blew apart. Looks like three of the metal lugs holding the bowl cannister on had just sheared off. The cannister flew down and smashed into the floor with all the plastic parts busting everywhere. Dented the metal cannister also and a small piece of something had flown by my head. I think it was one of the lugs. My first thought was that the nanpu, which I'm sure is cheap chinese pot metal, had a stress fracture in it. My second thought was that having all three stages inline created to much back pressure and the 1st stage gave way. I am using 1/2" NPT so the lines are big enough. It was probably a combo of those two items. My goal was to have the air as dry as possible going into the tank. But when I replumb it I think I'll go with just a 1st stage filter/regulator and put the coalescing and desiccant filters after the tank. Also, posted this as a warning to anyone else trying it. Take precautions when starting it up the first time with any modifications, like turning it on from the break far away from the compressor! ha.
Wow that’s pretty scary! Glad you escaped injury! Honestly there is very little moisture in my tank when I drain it so you should be good to go with the majority of the filtration after the tank.
liked and subbed....great job brother!!! i have been hunting for quality filter for ages...
Thank you and I appreciate the sub!
those trucks have maybe 3.08 gears , they are not towers ............ with 32" tires they should have at least 3.73 axle gears to be able to pull
Transmissions have sure changed since the 60's. I rebuilt Aluminum Power Glides, Torque Flights, C4's and other simple transmissions. Cost was $250.00 ea. and I normally did 2 everyday. Great Video....
Thanks Charles! This is my first transmission rebuild so it’s definitely a learning experience. Thanks for watching and let me know if I mess anything up!
First!
Undefeated!
I wish you could have been a bit more through about wiring the power supply. Did you wire in both “Line” outputs and switch the power supply to 220V?. I ask because the Power supply is marked “line” and “neutral” and a 240v circuit that would power a compressor does not have a neutral.
Yessir. I wired it up with both “line” inputs and ensured the power supply was selected to 220V. I actually go over the electrical in detail in the second video. Thanks for watching! th-cam.com/video/-3V5IRXn8To/w-d-xo.htmlsi=AN-Q-z73oYnDvbOc
For anybody wondering, the Duramax weighs about 1000lbs with all accessories, and the Allison 1K weighs about 350lbs, so combo weighs about 1300-1400 lbs. A Small block & automatic weighs about 760lbs all together. Getting ready to put an LMM/1K combo into my wife's 80 Suburban, nice work!
Thanks for the additional info and good luck on your swap project! A dmax swapped burb will certainly turn some heads!
Ready to see some more videos on the duramax. Where ya been
I’m working on it Mudd Dawg! Been wrapped up in other projects lately but more is coming!
Do you have a link to the connectors used with the aluminum fuel line? Would I lose a lot of cooling using a 1/2" air compressor hose instead of the aluminum tubing?
I also would like to know. Have all the parts, just stuck on this aspect.
@@DaveM2 I wouldn’t use regular air compressor hose anywhere between the pump and the tank. The air is way too hot coming out of the compressor and I’m pretty sure the hose would fail and burst 😬
bring on episode 2!
Great video! Will you please help me figure out the connections to the head and tank. I saw in a previous comment you used compression fittings. I have watched many videos on after coolers and can’t seem to figure out these connections. Some used compression and some use flare etc. I guess what I need to know is what type of threads are on the head and tank. Is it common pipe thread? I am looking at buying a 5HP 60 gal dewalt. If the head and the tank inlet is female pipe thread then it should be easy enough to get a male pipe thread to compression fitting. Am I on the right track? Thank you for the great video and your help!
Also, what connectors did you use on the oil cooler. Looks like on the top one 8an to 1/2” compression but on the bottom one it goes straight to the water trap. What did you use there? I am guessing 8an to 1/2” mpt?
Shoot just remembered one last thing. On the wiring from the pressure switch to the AC to DC what type of wire did you use. I am assuming it’s a low amp draw so 8ga is overkill?
Hey Todd! I’m pretty sure I reused the original fittings on the head and tank which were flared fittings. I had to cut the flares off the get the fittings off. I just made sure I bought the same diameter tube so I could reuse them.. so you’ll need a flare tool. For the cooler fittings I think I used AN to NPT and then NPT to compression fitting. The moisture separator is NPT. You should be good to go with 12awg for the wiring to the AC/DC converter. I hope that helps!

What about drying the air before it enters the compressor.
Have a 2016 escalade. I used the warranty I bought to fix thr shocks 3 times, all 4. Now my rears, which always seem to go first, have started up. Now my warranty is up and I want to put a 4-4.5 inch lift that won't push out my front wheels.
What fuel system is this?
The tank and pickup are stock replacements for squarebody trucks that had the 6.2 diesel. I am a little concerned that the pickup tube may be undersized for the dmax but I still need to do some testing on it.
Can you provide more information on the mag delete upfront? Did the system still work in the rear? I don’t want lights on in the dash..
Great Video. Is the little arm that moves the unison ring supposed to be hard to move by hand?
Super informative video man. Thanks!
Glad I could help!
can you provide links for the shocks and the plug in adapters? Having a hard time fronting just the front set up. Even called Magdelete and they only sell all 4 with the OBD2 adapter.
Great video! Do you have video of mounting the a-arms?
No sir. I had the chassis together before I started filming stuff!
Awesome install. I did one very similar with the same cooler and similar compressor. It pulls a ton of water out. And I also got a 200° temperature drop. I leave the water seperator drain cracked and it drains continuously, only adds 5-8 seconds to the fill time. Great job man. th-cam.com/video/gNlsULpBtCk/w-d-xo.htmlsi=QW12inNYz-lsDG1-
Did you get any check engine lights since you didn't connect the magneride wires back up?
Will you get an answer, many want to know.
I'm fixing to do my 18 denali with Fox up front, keeping the air in the rear and replacing old. Also, upgrading both sway bars and links with the Hotchkis kit. Everyone saying the sway bars make a world of difference, especially if you tow anything.
For sure. Adding or upgrading your sway bar will definitely add stability. Good luck!
U were gonna say the N word!!! 🤣🤣🤣 @ :23
Shawn said “Nice guy”!!
Thank you so much for making this video. I put my engine together in a back yard with a buddy and we made some mistakes. I have to redo valve lash and this is exactly what I needed. Also, I used to have a YT channel. I know this took forever to film, thanks for all the hard work.
Thanks John! I’m glad that the video helped you out, that’s exactly why I made it! You’re absolutely correct, it does take a lot of time to put these videos together but it’s totally worth it they are helpful!
Hello Rich, thanks for both of the videos on air compressor improvement. I just completed the post compressor drier installation and coupled with the three stage filtering and drying previously installed I'm ready to do more plasma cutting with better results. Now I'm working on quieting the compressor intake.
Heck yeah! Glad that the videos were helpful and good luck on your plasma cutting!
