Hellllll yea!!!!! Thanks for watching. I appreciate it!!!!
@@linksgarage1985 Thank you for the L5P content!
Glad to do it! Hope it helps!
thanks for the videos on installing the wcfab piping !
Thanks for watching!
Engine bay is all dressed up and looking 💯💯💯👍👍 you are going to have to keep an eye on the coolant for a while... these L5P's are really finicky with burping the air out.
I sure will. That’s what I have heard. I should have ran the heat etc when I fired it up. I’ll do that, and check it after each time I drive it. And thank you! It’s coming together. One piece at a time. I appreciate you watching!
I just ordered the upper radiator coolant pipe for my 2013 LML Duramax. I also have the drivers side hot pipe on the way. I just bought this truck. It's my 1st diesel I've ever owned. It's a 2013 chevy silverado 2500HD 6.6L LML Duramax with 144,000 miles. The truck is 100% stock. I also have a 100gph Air Dog lift pump sitting here waiting for spring. It's way to cold now to me horsing around with anything. But I'm watching everyones you tube videos to learn from. I'm doing the easy stuff 1st, to learn and grow confident as l said my 1st diesel.
Wayne, congrats! The LML is a great platform! Enjoy the new rig. Let me know if I can help with anything!

Where r you located? I'm in North Branch Minnesota

Hey when you installed your upper radiator pipe, did you just pop off the stock hose and allow what ever coolant to just drain out from there? You didn't pop off the lower hose?
@@waynejohnson3388 Kentucky! 💪🏼🇺🇸
@@waynejohnson3388 it’s actually best to just unscrew the drain in the bottom of the radiator!
Awesome install brother it sets off the engine bay real nice, make sure you give it a second tighten once you get her up to temp right after you drive it , mine leaked a little but once I re torqued it she was fine, as a matter of fact it leaked slowly on to a belt which for a whole 2 weeks made a noise that I thought was a bad injector it put me through hell, than I found it it was just the coolant leak hitting the belt .........man it was crazy.
Thanks for the tip! I’ll be sure to re check it after I drive it! I appreciate the feedback. And I appreciate you watching as always! Thanks for stopping in!
I recently bought a 2018 GMC Sierra 2500 and I didn't realize how much shiny bling you could add! (Your videos aren't helping) Between that and my Harley I'll be broke!
Keep up the great work! I enjoy your videos!
Thanks Tim! Consider subscribing I
if you haven’t already. You can buy a ton of stuff for these trucks! They are sweet! Thanks for watching! I appreciate it! If I can help with anything let me know! 💪🏼🇺🇸💪🏼🇺🇸
Sorry you had to learn that the hard way... always drain the radiator down some or all the way depending on what hose your dealing with. If nothing else it saves a hell of a mess lol. I’m working on getting all the whirly fab stuff now, already have my intake horn. They didn’t have the intake when I put the banks on, so will be trying to sell that 🤦♂️
Yea. I prob should have drained it a little. My dad told me the same thing after he watched the video! Ha. Live and learn. It wasn’t too much of a mess. And all the stuff makes the truck sound very different now. Hope these videos help when you get around to installing! Thanks for watching, I appreciate it!
@50calprepper
How much for the banks intake?
LOL! Same exact thing happened to me. “Oh there is a lot of fluid in there”
Yep! I wasn’t expecting that much. lol. Thanks for tuning in!
Watch your coolant levels brother make sure all the air gets out, at least a week or so.
I sure will. I plan on checking it after I drive it each time. Don’t want any issues! Thanks for watching!!
Scott great videos man, watching from way up north. Always appreciate your vids as I have a lot of the same mods. and have watched yours to learn from you haha, quick questions for you any increase is sound from your intercooler pipes being done? and any plan in the future on doing your down pipe or uppipes? thanks man keep up the good work.
Well, I did the intake, turbo horn, and Intercooler pipes all at once. The truck sounds very different! But I can’t pinpoint if it was the pipes or not. Down pipe for sure. But that may be for a later time, when some other mods are done. I appreciate you watching!
Started watching your videos about two months and have enjoyed them I have the same truck as yours just an 18, I was curious if you knew anybody at wehrli, I'm trying to build a twin turbo set up and I know Jason werhli is one of the few in the country that has built one with a L5p.
Thanks for watching. I appreciate it! I do not know anyone at Wehrli. And yes, I believe Jason’s shop truck has a twin set up. That thing makes some power! Good luck on the twin set up. I appreciate you stopping in!
Hey Scott enjoy you videos 👍 I too have a L5P and in the process of fixing the Def/ Egr ...I've got all my bolt on parts...give it anymore thought on who you'd go with for tunes and Ecm/Tcm unlock
Hey! Thanks for watching! I appreciate it. Probably CTT for the tuning.
Great videos I traded my 16 lml for a 20 l5p. Keep up the great content.
Hell yea! These things are a beast! Consider subscribing for more content! I appreciate it!
@@linksgarage1985 i did
@@stevehammonds8909 welcome to the channel. If you ever have any questions just ask. I usually reply. Also, a few of these upgrades will differ from the 2020 but overall should be very similar.
Scott great video...I got some questions.. What kind of performance are u getting after the installation of the hot and cool pipe? Also, can you hear the turbo whistle?
Hey man..great channel and super videos. Gave you a sub.
I appreciate it!!!!! Thanks for watching! 💪🏼🇺🇸💪🏼🇺🇸💪🏼🤦🏻♂️
@@linksgarage1985 I am going through a ton of your videos. Well done on all of them man. Very well done videos. I am new to youtube videos and I suck...lol..thanks for putting these on
@@Frostytravels - No problem! I have subbed to your channel as well! Good stuff on there!
@@linksgarage1985 Thanks man. learned a lot from your videos.
@@linksgarage1985 ty ty...i am trying
Is that illusion or candy purple love it I’m doing both candy and illusion u think that’s gonna look descent I’m doing y bridge to
This is all illusion purple. I love it!
Is there a benefit to this or is it basically just for looks? Seems like it just adds 2 more spots for a leak
My opinion. Mostly for looks. But some functionality also. Some big Block high HP vehicles have a tendency to collapse the upper hose and pinch it closed under a heavy load. That’s why you typically see a steel braided or a metal style upper rad hose on older big block cars. Also, I have replaced very spongy hoses in the past. This will never collapse or become spongy. Yes, you are correct about the additional leak points. It’s personal preference. I routinely maintain my vehicles and this is on the list of things to check often. As long as you do that, you’ll be fine. I have had zero issues so far. Best of luck and thanks for watching!
Great job
Thanks for watching!
if you let it run with the cap off you should be fine just add as needed
Thanks! I wasn’t sure what the hell to do! Ha. I appreciate you watching!
@@linksgarage1985 yea I'd like to get all that piping as well for my 18 plus the up pipes
@@hatchetwarrior1240 - yep. I’ll eventually do up and down pipes. It’ll be a little bit. Lol
@@linksgarage1985 yea the down pipe gets pricey with the dpf back exhaust
@@hatchetwarrior1240 - It sure does sir.
Do you plan on switching to the wc coolant tank? I would be interested in seeing whats involved to change them out
Honestly, not at the moment. I might focus on go fast parts instead. The tank does look sick!! Just not on the list at the moment. Unless they just want to send me one! I’d love to do a video on it for ya! 😉😂🇺🇸💪🏼🇺🇸
Do you like those fox shocks? I’d like to do a level kit or lift what kit did you go with?
It is a 6.5 inch BDS lift. With box 2.0 shocks. Yes I do like the shocks. The ride quality is very good for a lifted truck. Thanks for washing. I appreciate it.
It would have been easier if you had put some silver shit or WD-40 on the inside of the new silicon boots.
Thanks for the tip! I appreciate it!
Did these installs affect your warranty?
Will this void your warranty on your vehicle
No clue honestly. I appreciate you tuning in!
No it won’t void the warranty
I have the same exact pipe on mine as well and the dealer said it’s fine
Are your emissions intake?
Yes.
