That final scene throwing the gravel into your shop almost had me spewing coffee out my nose from here in California almost to you …😆. Glad to see you are getting closer to completion. Hearing an engine start for first time during ANY project I have ever done in my lifetime is somewhat akin to hearing a baby cry once born. Satisfying to say the least . Keep on doing what you do Josh , & may You & Mel & family have a wonderful 2024 !! 😎👍
Love the series. For all of us that own/love the older trucks and/or can’t afford a new one. It would be cool to do a little series on the upgrades you can do to make an old truck perform like an l5p while towing and unloaded performance. Ex. Built trans/tuning/add a radiator kit/intercooler, etc.
This is so fun to watch. I watched the 1st video yesterday and hopped on today to see the second….perfect timing! Trucks turning out great. Nice cliffhanger at the end😅
Hey Josh long time follower from Canada here, thank you for all the effort and time you’re still putting into your videos. There’s no better truck channel on the tube in my opinion. Keep on keepin on brother and Happy new year, cheers!
I've been watching ever since you guys started and I just love how far you guys have come it's like Kodiak truck in your own shop now keep up the amazing work love the channel
Just installed my MBRP 4" downpipe back straight pipe and im so jealous of you having the cab and bed off. Jackstands not the way lol just waiting for the 3" PPE downpipe to show up and then im going to tackle that nightmare. Love your videos, thank you!
You got me into dmaxes when I first started watching you channel 2 years ago! Now I’ve owned an 03 Lb7 a year and a half she’s studded 45 over S&S supersport fass 165 she gets down!
Happy New Year to you and your family. It’s great seeing you work with your Dad over the past few videos. Just did a bunch of work to my LB7. Including RDS turbo, up pipes and down pipe. It’s a lot cheaper to keep her going vs buying a newer truck. 180,000 miles. Hoping to get it to 400,000.
And what are you gonna do about the holes in the firewall? You’re going to get water seepage into the cab and the floors gonna be soaked unless you patch it
My wife had a roll over accident. Thank God she came out with only a few scratches, but I was wanting to rebuild what’s left. I was wondering if it was hard to do a cab swap @truck master
i saw you used amsoil trans fluid but i highly recomend castrol 668 transyd its formulated specifically for alison transmissions its a little expensive but def worth the money
One dem horse power magazines or does youtube testers or sum1 smart R than me did a test on at least 5 but not more than 10 DIESEL OILS & TRANS FLUIDS that are formulated and approved 4 diesel transmissions and the fluid you suggested (and ive seen recommended by many internet guru"s (had me fooled and on board too🤔🧐🤪🤯😳😱aint gonna lie falls somewhere in the 6th to 9th worst fluids.........I'm gonna go internet train myself on fluids,oils, additives,n i may be back with superior web knowledge. Mmmahhhhey not cum back redtube may have bunches NEW: pawgs, light skinned ebony, and HD black 🖤 haired tatted thick thighed amateurs;*^// CLIPS THAT all in the hardcore section 7:40 to 12.23 minutes long ..just right..can scan through nearly a dozen "good movies" before becoming really sleepy and uninterested all the sudden
So I see you used glass cleaner for boot install I use hair spray which as liquid helps then when dry acts as an adhesive. Where do you buy your prefab brake lines?
I’m excited to see the upcoming video of how the fuel cooler is working, i am genuinely curious. I’ve been having this thing with my truck, it runs awesome when it’s cool out, but soon as it gets around like 70 degrees and I’ve been driving more then a hour or so, I start to have this weird idle loop. I think it’s because the fuel is getting to hot. I never have this issue in the winter months though
I love my lb7 and lly and you help me appreciate them with every video. Thanks brother it’s crazy what the tried to do to you. I’m so sick of the unelected epa making laws without the input of the people.
I feel terrible because my brother-in-law just blew up his diesel engine. It’s gonna be about 15,000 to repair it and he doesn’t have the location and he doesn’t have the place to pull the cab off the truck like you just did. It’s in Indiana right now and it’s a gorgeous truck butit just got to be replaced with the new motor
I had to stop and double check that the video was indeed over at the end when TH-cam autoplayed the next video. Always a bummer when something is leaking after all the work but I look forward to the next video.
I know what your saying, for some reason these LB7 engines sound like that at first start up and after that it goes away I think it has something to do with the air in the injection lines but it’s all good now
@@TruckMaster that’s good to know, I’ve not done enough diesel work to hear it often and it scared me lol! Love the Build! Just about to pull my 05 LLY into the shop to do the exact same build!
Sheeeee, buy my 06 Duramax from me and restore it. Not a hard restoration project. Absolutely no rust at all. New Mexico truck. 15,000 on engine #8 injector let loose popped a hole in the piston. I'm over it.
Josh, giving you heads up. I have been messaging you I thought on the other messaging forum and got me for 1412 and some change for a truck that was not a give away. I fell for it and would not do a video call nor talk with me on the phone. If it was you, you got me but reporting it to TH-cam, ZELLE AND PAYPAL got me nowhere just lost money. Good things are never true. Maybe your channel was fished.
I tried to warn my viewers in previous videos but there are literally 1000’s of scammers doing this to multiple TH-cam channels. I wish I can stop them but at this point it’s up to the people to not fall for it. I’m really sorry man but thanks for sharing hopefully more viewers will catch on so it doesn’t happen to them.
👋 hey . Stop spinning my tires and wasting money 🎉.. hahah you just wait till u grow up and have to pay for tires yourself young man . Hahaha 😆 yes I said she was my girl . 😢😊😂🎉
This is so cool seeing this build in all its stages. It's a joy to watch, and your love for what you're doing really shows through your work.
That final scene throwing the gravel into your shop almost had me spewing coffee out my nose from here in California almost to you …😆. Glad to see you are getting closer to completion.

That was a dope video...and so was the energy...that is success and excitement, nice to see.
Hey Josh long time follower from Canada here, thank you for all the effort and time you’re still putting into your videos. There’s no better truck channel on the tube in my opinion. Keep on keepin on brother and Happy new year, cheers!
What a way to end an episode...
😂
The end was the best part... just add to your workload
This is definitely the best one yet . The wife max was great content. But this makes a guy won’t to buy and old truck and giver lol
I've been watching ever since you guys started and I just love how far you guys have come it's like Kodiak truck in your own shop now keep up the amazing work love the channel
Man you truly are an inspiration. I truly hope to achieve this sum day. Great build brother!
Just installed my MBRP 4" downpipe back straight pipe and im so jealous of you having the cab and bed off. Jackstands not the way lol just waiting for the 3" PPE downpipe to show up and then im going to tackle that nightmare. Love your videos, thank you!
Happy new year and God bless everyone
This is such an amazing accomplishment I hope I could eventually say for myself. Youre definitely an inspiration.
Using the ABS pump to power bleed the brakes with your scan tool makes that task a lot quicker. Just some food for thought.
You got me into dmaxes when I first started watching you channel 2 years ago! Now I’ve owned an 03 Lb7 a year and a half she’s studded 45 over S&S supersport fass 165 she gets down!
Nice 👍 LB7 for the win 🏆
@@TruckMaster you got me obsessed! I’m in the market for another Duramax project! I’m in Mass if you know any in the area!
Dieselrcorp Has the exhaust systems as well. A lot of other things too. Took me a while to find a company who did.
Happy New Year to you and your family. It’s great seeing you work with your Dad over the past few videos.
Just did a bunch of work to my LB7. Including RDS turbo, up pipes and down pipe. It’s a lot cheaper to keep her going vs buying a newer truck. 180,000 miles. Hoping to get it to 400,000.
Minor leak at the end which you will find and fix. Great video as always Josh
since you gotta get new fenders you should go with the 01-02 front end, looks way better than that non HD cat eye hood!
Awesome work Josh. You are really talented man doing these trucks. Love the content
Hello Josh. Getting the cab cleaned up before setting it down over the engine. Can't wait to hear it run. Happy New Year to you and your family Josh.
Awesome looking really good she’s come a long way from day one
Looking great. Happy New Year to you and the family
Very nice job sir, your an inspiration for us all, much respect!
Please don't forget to assign value for the HOURS you spent on this. A lot of people do not properly value their own time.
If he sells the truck including his time that would be over $40k
Thanks for reaching out. I would be happy to discuss OBD scanners as you suggested. What’s the best way to do that?
Great progress!
Great job so far Josh. keep it up.
best company around]
Nice work Josh you should be proud buddy 👍🏻
Original engine?
I can't believe it we're already restoring early 2000 trucks soon. My 2008 will be floating restored.
I'm in the process of trying to find an LLY or LBZ. Tired of the emissions of the new diesels. Had an LBZ back in 2012 and miss it.
turned out great!
Thanks
And what are you gonna do about the holes in the firewall? You’re going to get water seepage into the cab and the floors gonna be soaked unless you patch it
Love this series!
Congratulations! 🍾👍
My wife had a roll over accident. Thank God she came out with only a few scratches, but I was wanting to rebuild what’s left. I was wondering if it was hard to do a cab swap @truck master

Man that look on your face after it started 😂. Nice work man.
Well it's getting there going to be great when finished
So I see you used glass cleaner for boot install I use hair spray which as liquid helps then when dry acts as an adhesive. Where do you buy your prefab brake lines?
Love these videos man
Thanks
I’m excited to see the upcoming video of how the fuel cooler is working, i am genuinely curious.

Awesome job josh. Please include how many hours you have invested in this truck. Thank you.
Josh, can you please do a new video on affordable scan tools which work well on Duramax. Especially LLY and LBZ. Thanks.
She sounds freaking awesome.. 🎉
cliff hanger ohhhh no lol
did you do the crank pin mod on that motor you transplanted ????
Just wondering, wasn't this truck an LLY previously? Is that an LB7 you've put into it? Curious as to why not stick with the LLY platform
I love my lb7 and lly and you help me appreciate them with every video. Thanks brother it’s crazy what the tried to do to you. I’m so sick of the unelected epa making laws without the input of the people.
I feel terrible because my brother-in-law just blew up his diesel engine.

What was that you sprayed on your pipe when installing clamp.
I may have missed this in past videos but could I get the the part number for the body mounts you used please
how the l5p doing can you make more video on it
Wrap this truck with your TH-cam branding hehe, you should do period correct, oem style mirrors, lights, grille, bumpers, etc
You should re install the fuel cooler. They are very much necessary.
love the videos man
U should put a 3” lift on that truck
What did you spray on the hot side pipe before putting it in the boot?
Yesh yeah dude what the slippery secret? Or no mour stuck'm together + takey apart later onn grhreesze?
.
Just some window cleaner it makes it easier to slide on
What do you use to paint the chassis
I had to stop and double check that the video was indeed over at the end when TH-cam autoplayed the next video. Always a bummer when something is leaking after all the work but I look forward to the next video.
Planning on selling my obs 7.3 to get a LB7. Hopefully it doesn’t cost me dearly. 😂
What paint did you use to clean up the front clip, where the radiator is?
Still wondering, looking to paint mine aswell I really liked the colour of that black.
How much for stock tow mirrors if not using them
Nice outro lol
PLEASE keep the wheels that are on the truck, just clean them up! Bullet hole wheels are 👌🏻😮💨 on GMT800 trucks!
I hear a bad cylinder low on compression? Just slightly curious, just one mechanic ear to the other! lol
I know what your saying, for some reason these LB7 engines sound like that at first start up and after that it goes away I think it has something to do with the air in the injection lines but it’s all good now
@@TruckMaster that’s good to know, I’ve not done enough diesel work to hear it often and it scared me lol! Love the Build! Just about to pull my 05 LLY into the shop to do the exact same build!
The engine is going to go or it’s going to blow lol did hundreds of engine overhauls in my 20 years at a Mack dealership
Hey just wondering you wanna sell that truck when your all done
Aren't you supposed to use the metal part of the body mount? Ive never seen someone use just the rubber
Nice to see someone fixing things vs tearing shit up
Keep the truck and give it to your daughter as her first cehicle
How much money are you into it.
how much if a guy does most of it himself ? what do you got in to it .
Sheeeee, buy my 06 Duramax from me and restore it. Not a hard restoration project. Absolutely no rust at all. New Mexico truck. 15,000 on engine #8 injector let loose popped a hole in the piston. I'm over it.
Hate to be that guy but you’re supposed to reuse those steel cups from the old body mounts and the new Prothane ones slide on
Could this be the next giveaway truck?
That's what happens when Earl gets behind the wheel.... !
Nice way to end that video😅
How much you want for it
How much?
Bout to be 21 years old
Ugh…..Earl littered the shop with gravel 🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️
😲
I bet you’re leaking out the top hydraulic connection going to your intercooler.
👍
The ending with the rocks made me cringe bad😂
But am proud you got it runnin!
You have a hijacker on your site giving away trucks lol
I wish I could stop them
If that is quite than i'd hate to hear loud
$2800 for a diesel truck. Where are you, and where do they give away trucks?
This thing was destroyed when I got it though
your account deleted?
Don't pipe it. 🫡
Josh, giving you heads up. I have been messaging you I thought on the other messaging forum and got me for 1412 and some change for a truck that was not a give away. I fell for it and would not do a video call nor talk with me on the phone. If it was you, you got me but reporting it to TH-cam, ZELLE AND PAYPAL got me nowhere just lost money. Good things are never true. Maybe your channel was fished.
I tried to warn my viewers in previous videos but there are literally 1000’s of scammers doing this to multiple TH-cam channels. I wish I can stop them but at this point it’s up to the people to not fall for it. I’m really sorry man but thanks for sharing hopefully more viewers will catch on so it doesn’t happen to them.
