    A big thank you for your video! Just a couple of pro tips: You will need a 3/8 torque wrench that pivots (Harbor Frieght ICON) and at least one extended 8mm hex head socket cut to size to get all the hex head bolts properly torqued to "42" POUND FEET not 50. You are bolting into aluminum heads, so be careful.
    Remove your front tires.
    I read another comment about jacking up the engine and trans... That's a great idea. The frame rails are so close to the manifolds that it makes it hard to get to get to the bottom bolts.

    Sir, I've seen SEVERAL of your videos lately.I can't thank you enough for the help you're providing us viewers.I was afraid to do much myself since my experience with diesels is very limited versus gas burners.Thanks to the step by step,in depth details your content gives,I'm now confident I can save money and get to know my truck much better by doing more upgrades in my own shop myself.I appreciate the effort and time you're obviously taking to help us learn.
    And also,more than all,I salute you for the freedom we enjoy.May GOD bless you and all who help you, especially your wife.

    I’ve been getting into watching a bunch of informational videos about Duramax & Powerstrokes. I like yours the most because you’re just aDuramax guy. One of my best friends is a classic Chevy guy. I remember the first Duramax & Allison I drove 20 years ago. Super impressed then & they’ve only gotten better across the & board & technology is skyrocketing. You’re the most down to earth, diesel guy I’ve found. And honestly nobody else has a Wifemax & her truck is cool too. Tomorrow morning I’m getting the muffler & flapper valve deleted on my LTZ Silverado. I have a Mustang too but the Silverado is way nicer to drive everyday. Keep up the good work

    I got the exact same kit. I got one side all out just need to remove the driver side. I’m glad I also went with the Ppe down pipe. Maybe a little trick for anyone tackling this not so fun job is to remove the two trans crossmember bolts an put something to distribute the load over a jack under the trans pan and jack it up until the top just touches the floor and get yourself an extra 1-3 inches back there. Makes a big difference IMO as any guy or girl knows a little extra in the right spot means a world of difference! 😉 Happy New Years from KS 👍🏽

    When I first bought my LLY and started learning about Duramax motors (and diesel in general). I noticed just how cramped and small all the piping was, especially the exhaust manifolds. I always thought to myself I wonder how much more power these trucks could make just by flowing better. Glad to see they actually work.

    You do realize that those manifolds are ceramic coated, taking the temperature on the outside without a egt probe will not give you an accurate exhaust readings. You need to get an egt if you’re going to make recommendations on a purchase.

    Hey Josh thanks for your videos they help a lot. Love the detail you put into your installs. I have a question. Back in February of 2018 you done a video for a manifold and up pipe. I was wanting to install the same parts but could not find your part number. I have an 06 GMC with the LBZ. I have 4” exhaust a single stage tune, the pcv delete and egr delete. It has 370000 miles on it. My bellows cracked on my up pipe. So I wanted to put the same thing you installed on mine, I do have a new 3” down pipe to install at the same time. Mine is an everyday driver and I don’t do any racing or very heavy pulling. So would appreciate the info on what you used unless you recommend something else, thanks in advance!

  • @jimschweitzer4440
    @jimschweitzer4440 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Appreciate all the install videos! I have replaced the down pipe and installed a 4” exhaust and now I am considering the manifolds. I’ve seen the PPE and recently your HSP manifolds. Still deciding which way to go. Cooler EGT and better power is always a plus. Can you explain why only the passenger side exhaust manifold goes to the EGR? Why doesn’t the drivers side… I still run the EGR as I do not want reprogram the computer. Again Thank You!

    The only mistake I saw (and maybe you did and didn't show it) but you didn't put any anti-seize on the bolts. Seems minor, but it makes things so much easier if you ever have to tear things back apart.
    I did these when I did my HG in my 05. I had the engine pulled so my job was a lot easier. Which was good, because one of my studs broke off in the head.

    You need to put anti seize on all manifold bolts and torque to spec

    Really appreciate you doing this video. I have been thinking about doing this to my basically stock ‘03 LB7. 165,000 miles on it. Fo you think this will help keep the temps down to protect the passenger head gasket? I saw in the video that your pipes are wrapped. The complete kits come without the wrap. Did you order the manifolds and pipes separately?
    Thanks and Happy New Year!

      Thanks! The only thing wrapped is the Down pipe but I am almost positive your temps will go down with this setup 👍

    Id like to know if they are worth it on the LML. Ive heard from most people that the LML manifolds flow great and its not worth the money.

    Question? what's the part number for that kit. I have an LBZ as well with a deleted EGR on my "off road"

  • @kevinkalivoda3442

    @Truckmaster How did the exhaust port size look on the new manifolds? I chose to go with a different brand of exhaust manifold than PPE (wish I could have afforded PPE) and the exhaust port size is slighly smaller than the stock manifold but matches the port size to the head. I was curious how the PPE manifold ports compared.

  • @jimschweitzer4440
    @jimschweitzer4440 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    I’m thinking about installing the PPE exhaust manifolds and up pipes (with EGR). Your web site doesn’t offer the set I need and using the PPE link here in the TH-cam video doesn’t recognize the 10% discount (truckmaster).

  • @lorenzozo7634

    Love your videos man! I bought a LLY Duramax a year and a half ago and definitely got the upgrade bug! Do you still have a coupon code for PPE? Going to order their manifolds and up pipes here soon.

    Did you have to modify the coolant pipe that goes to the heater core from the oil cooler with these high flow uppipes ? I think I may have to on my LMM.
