Since you guys only love us for the Duramax, I guess we’ll do another video on it in the next couple of weeks 🥹
LMAO: "this part is super hard to find, and when you do it's really expensive", 3.1 seconds later "well we found one, today, we got a really good deal on this, drove up the road and picked it up"
It’s a unicorn 😳😂
@@CoopsHouse Don't quit your day job
@@almarkowbender for what? Lol
First vid I’ve seen definitely earned a sub
Hey thanks brotha!! I appreciate the support!
Need to see more on the duramax!! Came for the duramax subbed for the crew.. lot of peotential here at coops house. The rain guard rip off jump was legendary 🇺🇸🤘
Dying at the “Legendary” 😂😂😂 we appreciate the support brother!!!
I suggest a new fuel filter head, or a fuel filter head seal kit, also a new fuel filter. Be sure to check the balance rates on the injectors, they need to be +4 or -4 but closer to 0 the better. Also another common issue with LLY’s is the FPR (fuel pressure regulator) on the CP3 injector and the miss fire codes are probably for the injector pig tales not making full connection to the injector.
We’re gonna be checking deeper into this thing for sure. I appreciate the advice. I’m no diesel mechanic by any means so it’s definitely a learning curve.
hey there, you seem knowledgable, would this cause the truck to start but then die a couple seconds later. this is an intermittent issue for me
@@Catalyst512 yes, it’s sucking air into the fuel system, I’d start with a new fuel filter head or a rebuild kit. I did mine a few years ago and did the fuel filter head seal kit through Merchant Automotive, they specialize in Duramax trucks.
Lowkey a entertaining video ngl it pretty good
Haha thank you!
My top favorite dudes you guys are awesome always making me laugh keep. it up boys !😂😅
We appreciate it brother!
@@CoopsHouse your welcome my brother and friends we hope to see a part two of your video 😁
Great video just subscribed
I appreciate you brotha 🤙🏻
Came over from Cleetus channel! Enjoying the videos!
Ayyyeee!!!! Thanks for checking us out 🤙🏻 we appreciate the support!
That is super cool. How did you see them on his channel?
@@JMRRebuilders they came up on my feed from guys at freedom factory coffee and cars.
@@TheChillin2011 that's awesome. Love it
@JMRRebuilders just subscribed will check out your channel too!
Cool video man!
I appreciate the support brotha 🤙🏻
i did a fuel pressure regulator and aa y bridge replacement on an lly and a little snort of either to get it rolling wont hurt it.. ITS NOT A PERKINS diesel lol (they blow up on even a little snort)
Gotta do what you gotta do sometimes! lol
Badass video. Just need a lift pump and when they loose fuel pressure like that and once u get em fired up gotta stay pumping away like a mad man
Thanks man! A lift pump is definitely in the future!
we just bought an LLY for $1000 a month ago. it didn’t crank. found a corroded fuse got it to crank, wouldn’t fire ended up bleeding fuel system and it fired but would only run for 20 seconds or so. ended up rebuilding the o rings in the fuel filter head and it runs now but loses prime randomly. back to the drawing board !
That’s awesome! Money ahead getting it that cheap though!
@@CoopsHousethat truck is way cleaner than ours body wise though. We are up in Michigan in the rust belt so ours has some surface rust but not a bad buy at any means. I believe it’s sucking air so I think our next plan is to tap a valve stem from a tire into a fuel cap and try pressurizing the fuel system from the tank. Subscribed to see more from you guys though good luck!! 👍🏼👍🏼
@@sapracing1674check sending unit. Had to replace it in mine because of same issue. Slowly loosing prime. Tops of the sending units sometimes rust and create pinholes. If your beds already shot I suggest just taking a grinder to bed above it because the bed mounts will most likely break comming off or going back on. Dropping the tank will most likely break straps. The sending unit has a locking ring around it. Put a flat head or drive on the ring and give her hell. Once that's off the sending unit will come right out. Summit racing sells one for dirt cheap and works like stock if not better.
@@sapracing1674that’s actually genius! Good luck with it! Should have another video up on this one soon!
Subbed can definitely see this channel with 1 mil in under a year
Man comments like this hype me up like crazy! Thank you so much!
both front tires arent gonna spin unless its had a locker or limited slip installed. The rear should have a G80 locker
Ended up thinking about that after the fact 😂
video is solid brotha.
Appreciate it man 🤙🏻
@@CoopsHouse yessir
I fried the FICM on my LB7. There’s a shop called SIA. They rebuilt it and warrantied their work for life. Cost 235$ shipped back to me
I would have sent them mine, but since it had a hole burnt into the board itself, I don’t think they could have fixed it
@@CoopsHouse I accidentally grounded out the FICM when I was slipping the charge pipping through. It touched the battery and sparked up. The guy who rebuilt it said it looked like it exploded inside. Took longer in shipping then it took them to fix it haha
@@SubePelayo928 dang! I’ll have to touch base with them. Maybe they CAN fix it lol
@@CoopsHouse I’ll be watching haha
I have a fuel primer I do not use it came off a Lb7 I take it off when I did my injections how do I send it to you
Hey man! Thanks for the offer. I bought a new one. I’ll be installing it tomorrow to drop the new video on this thing Monday!
This is a weird question, but do you live in Oklahoma? There was a church bus just like that one in the background that would pick me up after school when i was a kid. It looks identical, even the same lettering on it
No sir. I’m in Florida
@@CoopsHouseand I might have a fogged memory
@@JamezEd1tz no worries!
It needs a fuel filter housing or it’s sucking air from a fuel line boys. The fuel cooler is a common place for the lines to suck air also where the braided lines are crimped. When the fuel system is bled there will be no air at the bleeder screw then you pump the primer until the primer gets hard.
Thanks for the info brother! A few people have mentioned this in the comments so it’s definitely something I’m gonna dig into
@@CoopsHouse no problem the fuel system is under vacuum so it won’t really show a leak from the supply line just a little tip. If you throw a fass on it that will show you for sure if you have a leak in a fuel line. Hope you get er all figured out
@@Lb7guru9846 yes sir! I appreciate it
Dude, that car is awesome. I love chevrolets personally and my thoughts are if you have a priming issue it sort of seemed like a bad fuel pump. But manual pumping a lot supposedly worked.
Thank you! Got a few things we’re gonna look into and try to figure it out
@@CoopsHouse I mean yeah i love that thing its awesome, I'm not 100% sure if that fuel pump works so I would look into that, because the low fuel pressure code could be because the engine suction is the only thing pulling fuel so I would defiantly look into that. However you did get yourself a new sub as well.
My lly did that and it was in the tank, the hoses on the sending unit had holes in them
Interesting 🤔
This dude is if you take every car TH-camr/ mechanic and rolled them in to one!
Is that good or bad? 😂
Sounds like the Fuel is draining back like its sucking in air
Yessir. Next fun thing is finding where 😂
Good stuff!
Thanks brotha! 🤙🏻
I had a fuel rail code and i changed my fuel filter and its all good now, i would suggest changing that.
We’re gonna give it a shot!
My lly Sierra does the same exact thing, I parked it for several months and now it'll run 20 seconds then loose prime. After priming several hundred times I'm about to swap the primer system.
That’s how this was! Apparently was running perfect, he was headed home and it shut off. Took it to the shop that found the FICM was bad, so it’s been sitting since I bought it several months ago til I could find a FICM…
I'll have to look into that after I swap primer system and filter.
If it does have limited slip in the front then both tires won't turn most stock 4x4 the back drive side will turn and the front passenger will turn that ur four wheel drive
I got you! I didn’t realize that
I have a matching colored tailgate to that truck
I guess this was all he could find at the time. Haha. It’ll be getting a paint job one of these days so no big deal!
Get a fass and bypass the filter housing lines. No doubt it’s the filter housing head sucking air in. I doubt you have any injector issues. I would get the fuel issue sorted before dumping any money anywhere else cause it might solve a lot of it
That’s our first plan of attack when we get back to it!
I agree with you 100%! The FASS or Airdog lift pump should solve the issue.
The fuel might be coming from the bleader screw itself. Happened to me… replace that screw and prime it see if it keeps prime. 5$ at orileys
I’ll check into it! I appreciate it brotha 🤙🏻
Mine didn't have codes or check engine light it only died and would not start.
Same here. No check engine light
Didn't look like the mass air flow sensor was hooked up.
It’s plugged in but the intake pipe boots are trashed lol
@@CoopsHouse 👍
It needs to sense the flow of air passed it
Those primer bulbs will cause a would have problems if you use them a bunch, just keep an eye on it! Sick truck man!
CJ may have been onto something with that. New experience for me haha. Thanks for the support and information brother!
Absolutely, it the use vacuum to draw fuel as im sure yall know now, those primer bulbs will let air in the system causing havoc. Love the channel man! Where yall located? Im in SC but we charter coaches all over the US @@CoopsHouse
@@SMGPERFORMANCE16 we’ll have to find a way to check it! That might be our problem lol. But we’re in the panhandle of Florida, just north of Panama City!
Nice truck
Thank you!
injector harness was a big issue on those llys check the pig tails on those injectors!
Thanks man! I’ll check it out!
Sometimes the primer plunger sucks air from a bad seal
I didn’t know that! Thanks for the pointer!
I actually buy an lbz for 1,000 and turned it into a 6,000 dollar truck but I think I possibly have the same problem this truck is having except I have no codes
That’s awesome man!
And same. No check engine light. Try scanning even if there isn’t a light. It might surprise you.
Better fix the pump rub in the tcase before you need a whole new case
What do you mean?
Edit: I misread the comment to begin with. I know what you mean now 😂
No ones gonna believe me on this one but I had a lly got it new did all the basic stuff lift pump and all the piping that’s a must have for a lly and slapped a pretty mean tune on it totaled the truck at 490k miles with stock heads and never had fuel problems just kept up with maintenance and replaced the basic parts that wore out
Bro that’s awesome! I know several people who have them and if you take care of them, they’ll last you forever.
Bought an 03 zf6 dmax for 800 bucks and drove it home, just needed injectors
That’s a killer deal!
What are the plans with the LLY?
For now, it’ll be the work truck for our lawn care business. After that who knows 🤷🏻♂️
Man I really liked those camo window covers😢
There were only 2 so they had to go anyway lol
@@CoopsHouse ok well that makes me feel a little better👍
My truck just threw a cylinder 8 misfire which was a p0208 code and a bank 2 fuel rail low pressure code. I ended up splicing a new injector pigtail on the joker for like 40 bucks and it ran like a top…. So check and see if that connector is bad and it might just save you from changing the whole injector. Also these trucks throw a low fuel rail pressure code when it misfires to the whole bank for some odd reason. So because it’s throwing a low fuel tail pressure with a misfire makes me think it’s in limp mode
That’s the exact code I’m getting too! I’ll give that a shot and see if that makes a difference. I appreciate the info brother!
That thing popped off cause that apostlic church bus laying hands on it.
There’s power in the blood 😂
😂
😭💀
Mine needed a new fuel pump and fuel lines and maybe more before I got rid of it
Hopefully that’s not the case with this one lol
@@CoopsHouse Also the sending unit that and the fuel lines made me give up on it. I couldn't get one fuel line unhooked the other I got off. Then there was the sending unit and I would have had to drop the fuel tank or cut a hole in the bed of the truck or remove the bed.
this video may be the reason i finally sort out the reason my truck starts then dies, mine will start then die 2 seconds later sometimes and its so annoying. the comments say its the fuel filter housing so hoping thats my issue!
It seems to be a common issue. Something we’re definitely gonna be looking into after all these comments lol
i replaced the housing and fuel filter, that wasnt it. my issue is different from yours tho so my next plan of attack is the ignition switch
@@CoopsHouse
@@Catalyst512hate to hear that man. Maybe it’ll be a simple fix!
@@CoopsHouseI actually finally finally figured out my issue, my security system was shutting the truck off. So I replaced the tumbler and had a locksmith use a scanner to reprogram it and it’s good as new!
@@Catalyst512 heck yeah! That’s awesome! Glad you got it figured out!
I’ve bought same body condition duramaxs where I live for $2,000
That’s awesome!
Definitely the seals in the primer
That seems to be the consensus in the comments 😂
I was so ready to watch this video and then he just hit us with a ROLL TIDEEE
Gonna text him right now and tell him he ruined it for you 😂😂😂
Put cardboard under the truck to find the fuel leak. It’s probably the cooler. Get the air out one last time and it should be good to go.
Thanks man. I’ll give that a shot when we get back on this thing!
do yourslef a favor and put a lift pump on it and a ppe race plug in the fuel rail along with a filter head rebuild or block off plate with the lift pump
That will DEFINITELY be in the near future after this headache 😂
Do they relize not all 4 wheels spin in 4x4..
I didn’t think about it at the time
15:28 imagine just strolling by with no context..
💀💀💀
Nice!
Being a 30 year plus tech on those Duramax junk from a GM dealership them are the worst diesels ever built. I hope you get good out of this one maybe
For the price, anything I get out of it will be worth it to me. Lol. Maybe another Cummins swap candidate one day.
Fuel filter housing. Replace with new one. Sucking air.
We’re gonna give that a shot!
what year and model is this
2005 Silverado LLY Duramax
@@CoopsHouse thanks guys
@@StolenRanger no problem. I appreciate you dropping in!
@@CoopsHouse and I’m staying. Really enjoy this content. I’ve always wanted a diesel so watching y’all try and fix one it’s so mesmerizing lol
@@StolenRanger haha I appreciate that! 😂 we’ve been focused on our squarebody for a bit but we will be dropping another video on this one soon
Im at 14:16, at this point id suggest priming while the engine is running.
That’s what I ended up doing later on! Definitely seemed to help!
@CoopsHouse gotta go back to work, could finish watching. But my truck was having the same problem, i had an incredibly small crack in the filter housing. I replaced it and still runs like a dream
@@semasirhc121 I’ll have to look into that. I hadn’t thought about that being a problem
It’s been a month no update video vet what is going on
We’ve been working on other projects
…. You guys have a fuel issue yes I know you know that but you will never find the leak with the stick system as it sucks fuel from the system you need positive pressure to see any leaks … go front the tank new lines get a lift pump can build your own if needed go add two frame filters and go directly to the cp3 with upgraded fittings it’s hard to get to but doable ….. to find the issue get positive fuel pressure bottom line
I appreciate it! We’re definitely gonna be putting a lift pump on it. Life would just be so much easier lol
Cp3 pump?
Yessir
Rebuild fuel filter housing!!
Someone else mentioned that in another comment! I’m gonna have to look into it!
How much is cheap? If you don't mind how much did you pay for it
We mentioned it at the end! But we only paid $3k for the truck itself!
Okay sorry I'm still in the middle of watching the video when I asked lol. Man that is cheap I just bought the same one for 5K running but I need to cut out the old tire support and welding some new cross members
Good luck with the truck, new sub here.
@@crazycrea sounds like you got some work on your hands! lol. We appreciate the support brother 💪🏼
@@CoopsHouse yea man it's my first Duramax. Thanks again
Wonders why it won't stay running on its own....fuel gauge sitting below E
None of the gauges work. The tank is full 😂
@@CoopsHouse gotcha. Are yall in Alabama?
@@corydunaway no sir. Florida panhandle
@@CoopsHouse word. I'm in bama iand your buddy saying roll tide is why I asked
Throw a fuel filter head on it
We’re gonna give it a shot!
GO GATORS. You say ROLL TIDE I say NO TIDE
Hunter’s a hater 😂
And that’s why I stay away from diesel engines they might indeed get better fuel economy “ when their running “ a diesel in my book is like a Ferrari or Jaguar. Their in the shop more than their on the road . Dads got one nothing but problems and take the bow tie off .
This will be my first non Cummins. I will say, the Cummins has been pretty much bulletproof proof minus putting injectors in it at 350k. When they’re right, they’re right.
That's cap diesels, with the exception of a few almost never die
guy reminds me of goonzsquad
That’s awesome 😂😂😂
So how much did you pay?
I gave 3,000 for it
You get this idea from truck master?
No sir… I honestly haven’t heard of them
@@CoopsHouse oh well check him out. Might get some ideas. Look him up maybe.
Roll tide
Ayooooo 😂😂😂
Make more videos on it
We will be eventually!
Uncle cousin nephew said roll tide lmfao...... Geaux TIGERS LSU
Dang why you gotta come at Hunter like that 😂
i love my llys
This is my first duramax, and I’m partial to a Cummins, but I have a feeling once we get it right, I’ll be a fan!
Don’t just keep trying to start it, obviously air is getting in the system
Sometimes you can start these and it will work the air through the system if it’s trapped.
Roll Tide!
😂😂😂
I hope you swapped out the capacitors and didn't just install that module with a known defect.
Just put this one in to see if we could get it going. Gonna get the upgraded capacitors for it
i will buy it for 500
Sold 😂
You watch your mouth hunter. Go gators
😂😂😂
Cameraman needs to o ly film..NOT TALK. srry Guy it's better
😂😂😂
Hunter here (cameraman)
This is also my channel. I understand your feed back. But if it’s something you don’t like, I’m sorry. But I’m going to be talking to Coop and engage with him and the audience as I see fit. Were just here to have fun brother
@CoopsHouse ofcourse we are. I would like to know if he has his own channel.
@@MARTRELL17 no sir he doesn’t. We do all of this stuff together.
Can't wait for The Next Project. This was very interesting
Cheapest duramax would probably not be listed online......it has a for sale sign on it......infront of an old farm by a farmer with no internet access...
You’re probably right. But this one was not listed online either!
