I love how all these problems “conveniently” occur right at that 100k mark. That’s good GM engineering
Yeah my 6.7 Ford did the same…. It’s epa bs.
@@livewithnick Sheep
That's Japanese engineering, 😆
@@jerryb1234 more like 300k for Japanese engineering 😎
I was like man, he should of taken the lbz!
You truly are a great guy Josh , you made that guys day and he's a vet , God bless you brother
🇺🇸👍
@massage me on 👉@truckmaster0 hey Josh what did I win brother
The sad part about this is the fact that 90% of it is the EPA’s fault if it wasn’t for the insane emission standards your truck would still be running like a top hopefully you can get it fixed and get back home to take care of it
I totally agree
@@TruckMaster I don't want to delete my truck, cause cause, time for a delete buddy, it won't hurt anything but the EPA's feelings, I just found a beat up LBZ, so I may buy it and fix it up, pull my cab and box off my 6.0L and put on the LBZ frame , stay strong
They want everyone in electric vehicles
@@2015_Rubicnn they are. I’m not opposed to electric vehicles but what I don’t like is how they’re pushing that we have to get electric vehicles and they’re trying to ruin our diesel and gas vehicles in order to get us to buy electric vehicles if somebody wants to buy an electric vehicle go for it but the second they start ruining our diesel and gas vehicles I have a problem with it
@@modificationnation8554 I'm opposed to them for the fact of what you stated and they are fleecing other countries stripping their resources and polluting the land all for the sake of " going green ". To me, all this forcing people to do this and do that is communist BS. There is money to be made, and we aren't the ones making it.
😆 🤣 GM sold you on the cute bells and whistles package.
I feel your pain Josh! Just glad your brother was with you, that would’ve been very stressful having those issues with Mel and the kids onboard! The frustrating part is this is also happening to big class 8 trucks costing them thousands in repairs and downtime..
This is beyond insane. Way to keep it together mentally dude. You can’t make that stuff up.
Well done Josh It’s nice to see the happy winner !
I hope your truck is ok 🤞🏻 be safe out there guys !
My L5P ran like crap in the Rockies when I was towing a car to Wyoming. That elevation starves them hard!
Dam bro , It’s this type of crap that is my biggest fear on long trips. But you’re probably one of the better people to have on a trip like this. At least you know what’s happening with the truck for most part.
Your DPF is so clogged it won’t even run at this point. It’s clearly been an ongoing thing the whole trip but it’s went long enough at this point it’s totally choked out. I would start by removing the tuner and try unbolting the exhaust to limp it where you need to go. It should be able to breathe then. As far as fixing it, you’ll probably need to replace or “discard” that DPF since it’s gotten to this point.
To me it seems like you may have a boost leak or something with the tuner that is causing the excessive soot buildup. I see this happen all the time on these trucks in stock form when the engine air filters are totally stopped up.
I will say on a positive note, it makes me happy to see you help out a Veteran and using the raffle money to help the rest of them! On top of that having an educational video as much as it sucks to have a break down on a emissions equipped Duramax… it’s living proof that emissions will always be a pile of garbage regardless of what EPA thinks.
Might be time to bring the LBZ back out of retirement my friend! I love mine and she hasn’t left me stranded. (Yet)
Get home safe to your family brother!
Checking in from Iowa hopefully you made it home safe and sound. my brother also has a l5p duramax midnight edition 2018 and he never had this issue
Struggling with emissions related issues on my lml work truck. Threw the cp3 and new head gaskets. Within an hr dpf full fighting every day and Decided to delete and tune. In the middle of that right now. Good luck
that stinks, I have had the same thing happen to me as well on a cross country trip. was stuck in Johnson City Tn. for 3 days. hope you make it home safe and soon.
Hope you get it figured out and home safely brother! Making me want to “fix” mine as well!
Great video. Hope you get the truck all worked out and your brother looks like such a awesome dude!
You have a amazing program. You made his year. God bless you for your service and your generosity!
Makes me so thankful that I own a pre 2007.5 duramax
Best part of all the hard work you put in the truck it will still look great for years it no longer is in the rust belt states perfect kind of guy to win
I pull a 37ft camper with my 06 lbz and i always run with tow mode on, shift points in your transmission are longer and it won’t let it downshift as often.
Damn dude. I’m sorry this happened. Looking forward to the next vid. These types of things (albeit unfortunate) are very educational
Wow brother I’m so sorry about your luck man you are such a good person and this stuff has to happen can’t wait to see the next video hopefully you get home safe I remember the video where your other Duramax broke down on you and you had to tow at home with the giveaway truck looks like you been having problems with them hopefully you we’ll figure it out brother
You're a good man, you inspire others and that my friend is priceless... btw, I was my truck and car at that car wash often when I travel north from So Ca. God bless.
I remember when my duramax left me stranded with a loaded trailer in Southern Illinois a couple years back, took 12 hours for my buddies to grab another truck and trailer to bring down to rescue me. Been chasing issues with her for almost 4 years now. I need to find a reputable shop to get it figured out, I'm at my wits end with it at this point.
4hrs away from home pulling 12k camper trailer with my wife and kids aswell. My Denali Dmax same thing happened to me I started getting messages in dash abt reduced max speed after certain mileages tho! It was repaired to now breathe just fresh air! That same anxious feeling came over me that got you when it started messing up!
It’s definitely not fun to go through
Nothing like seeing someone really happy and grateful about receiving a gift. I bet he's been sitting in his driveway staring right now.
As for your problem. Well that sucks. The emissions on these things are marginal at best and the minute you do any mods you are rolling the dice. Unfortunately the days of the easy delete are in the past and your taking taking a chance with any go away products. Good luck.
Wished I was along your route and could offer a hand. Unless you went way south on the return trip. Hope it turns out to be something minor. I've pulled a camper to Alaska and back, and I worry about stuff like this every trip. My '06 has caused me some issues, but most of been very minor and easy to fix on the side of the road. Every time I think about a newer one, I see something like this and I get reminded to keep my old truck. Staying tuned for the next video.
Josh this same thing happened to me in my LML driving from Alaska to Oklahoma. Let’s just say as soon as I got to Oklahoma I did a weight reduction
Man that sucks bro I really really hope you can get that fix soon brother 😢😬😬
My prayers are coming out to you and your brother be safe and good luck!
Josh you rock man. RDS ALL THE WAY. this guy has to be happy man. Glad he Won it
Thanks
Hope you you’re able to fix the problem and get to your family, safe travels
Josh there was a Recall from GM on some of the l5ps. It was a software update to increase the Regen Frequency. If you didn't get a recall I would visit your local dealer and have them check to make sure the ECM has the latest and greatest calibration installed. Also some had some injector problems that lead to the DPF plugging like yours is. If you still have issues after you had everything cleaned you may want to check into injectors. On a more positive note it looked like a fun road trip. I would love to do something like that.
i got that done second oil change around 12kish they said something about incorrect ecm files and i got the heater plug installed but not i got another letter saying to get the heater cord fixed again doesnt matter if i had pervious work done gm recommends it to ensure the plug works properly …..
@@mondo9.2.5 I think i've done about 100 of those block heater recalls. Both the first and second ones. Apparently the coolant is leaking through the block heater and into the cord and causing fires. Don't ask me but after building cars for over 100 years you think they could build a block heater. lol Yes it is a recall so it won't cost you anything.
Man Josh I'm really sorry you had such a bad trip , hope everything works out for you brother
Thanks Rex
Great video Josh. Hopefully you get things figured out!
Thanks 🙏
@@TruckMaster delete these wats app scammer bro. They scamming a lot of viewers on different channels
Josh,God is going to continue to bless you, abundantly.
there is also a factory software update for frequent regen in 2017 to 2019 Duramax trucks.. the dealer has to do it.
He doesn't have factory programming anymore
Your brother is a great wing man. I have. A 16 lml that’s fixed by the means you were mentioning. Hope it turns out ok and interested what happened. Hope y’all get home
Hey it's good shit you're able to give the trucks away. It ties the channel together nicely.
You are in my thoughts and prayers brother. I live way south Az but you have a place to stay if u are in Mesa, Az. Hope u made it back safe
So I have 110k on my 2018 GMC 3500. Most of my issues were do to the emissions system. My truck seem to regen a lot. My latest failure was number 5 injector blew up. I said the same thing about fixing mine the right way. Good luck Josh.
YOUR A FOOL FOR BUYING A GM PRODUCT
I have to say I still love my truck. But it could use some improvements.
Seeing this makes me think I need to delete my lml and say screw the warranty. I limped a lb7 with bad injectors twice before biting the bullet and replacing them. But seeing this I think an emissions related failure is far worse
That's exactly what I did on my 16' denali. Was throwing a nox sensor code with the CEL and was trying to regen constantly. Said f it and let some parts fall off (completely on their own, of course). Couldnt be happier. I'm already converted to cp3 so losing my remaining warranty wasn't a big worry to me.
I have a deleted 2011 LML and i say definitely do it. It will be a whole new truck
I deleted my 15’ Denali after it started throwing emissions codes. CP3 and lift pump since then. Best decision ever.
Bruh, how do you still have warranty on your lml.
My 2021 Chevy LM2 started having various DPF issues after around 16 months of ownership. Mileage countdowns to limp mode to check engine light. Drove almost 4 thousand miles round trip to California and back home. The dealership has replaced all the sensors and erg under warranty. It's now in for a leaking gasket. The best tip I can give is to unplug the negative battery port and leave it out of an hour or so, maybe overnight if possible, then plug it back in. Resets the computer. I'm waiting on the dpf delete tuner system to come to the market.
What a bummer. Amazing you made it out west much less heading home.
mine did the same thing, dpf filter was clogged, ended up (---) it and runs amazing
👌
I'm so glad that my DEF fill point is behind my fuel fill door.
Ford or ram?
Thanks for documenting.
I feel your pain. I had a wrist pin failure on my lbz a couple months ago left me stranded 8 hours from home.
Be glad you were not in Oklahoma. If you break down in Oklahoma, it is a vortex where you can never leave unless you get towed out of the State.
Such a nice truck to have such a hard time
This is the exact reason I sold my 2018 3500 dually with 94k miles on it. Thanks epa 👍🏻
Exhaust sounds good
Seeing this stuff REALLY makes me want to keep my LLY as long as I can…..
you definitely should bro
Yea this is crazy
Me too I wanted to buy a new truck in the future but I think I’ll just rebuild my lly and keep adding stuff to make it last forever
Lost fuel pressure on my LMM in 7 degree weather at 3:30 am while pulling. Pulled off on the side of the highway, sent up a quick prayer and started thinking. Went to prime the fuel and the fuel filter started gurgling. Screwed the filter back on tight and got prime back. Being stranded sucks for sure!
I got the same shirt !!! Lucky guy deserves the truck!!
Hi Josh I just hade the same problem with my 2017 L5P 56K on it. I blamed Michigan cold weather. I will be fixing my truck in to weeks.
This is exactly why I’m hesitant on buying a newer truck. Good luck. Think we’ve all been stuck ain’t no fun
I have a 2021 denali and the exhaust system has been giving me problems ever since it hit 14,000 miles. it has 22,000 now and I think it's time to take the mask off so it can breathe. God bless and I hope you make it home safe 🙏
Mask prevents soot from escaping but hot exhaust gasses. Allow truck to regen and all your problems will go away
Been in that situation before. All the best to you.
115k miles on my l5p still running good 👍🏼 👌🏼
Those new trucks are luxurious but I'll take my 2004 lb7 3500 with no emissions.
That is my biggest concern about buying a new truck. My 2015 LML that I bought new eight years ago runs good. As you mentioned, “I fixed it.”
The ol' sadstance thumbprint!! 😆 🤣 😂
My LML did the exact same thing towing a skid steer home. Clogged filter then coolant hose to the EGR valve blew all my coolant all over my engine
Bunch of comments about deleting 🙄...
That's not the problem right now. Right now the problem is the "upgrades" not playing nice with the emissions equipment.
The white smoke is normally OK but not in that quantity. I think your tuner has a bug in it. It's making the ECU think that the DPF is clean when it's really not. That or your differential pressure sensors are bad and sending the wrong signals to the ECU.
I hope you get it figured out soon! Sorry this happened to you so far from home 🏡 😢
Prayers brother.
Could not agree more. Take that tuner off Josh!
White smoke is coolant, blown head gasket
@@repairvehicle he said nothing about his coolant temps. I agree with you about white smoke but that's not it at all.
@@repairvehicle
Not always but very possible. Let's hope that for Josh's sake that it's not. If his truck weren't throwing all those DPF related fault codes at him the entire drive then I'd agree with you.
The way the DPF works is when the upstream (before the DPF) and downstream (after the DPF) pressures are significantly different (differential pressure) it'll trigger the truck the go into DPF regeneration. During regeneration raw diesel fuel is injected directly into the DPF and exhaust gas tempos are raised to approximately 1,200 degrees which will effectively incinerate all the captured soot and convert it to ash. That's the entire purpose of the diesel particulate filter. That's why even a brand new duramax, Cummins or powerstroke will occasionally blow white smoke when they're in regen.
The fact that he was blowing so much white smoke is because he's probably completely clogged his DPF. Evidence to support this is that his turbo can't even push exhaust through the intake because the engine is literally choking on its own exhaust.
As a side note... the DEF is injected into the SCR (Selective Catalytic Reduction) chamber which is physically after the DPF chamber. If he was having a problem with the DEF fluid or otherwise having an SCR issue the truck would throw different codes at him.
@@Springfield-1903 , my cummins doesn’t blow white smoke when it’s in regen at 700F
The old adage, "no good deed goes unpunished" applies here. Truly sorry for all the trouble you're having. I sense the issue started with computer / electronic issues and hope that it didn't lead to an actual mechanical failure. You're a good man Josh! Your subscribers / viewers will have your back, no matter what the issue is.
I appreciate it
My LML did this to me in California had to do a force regine like you. Everything was cool trip home to San Antonio Tx. Did good for months then took a trip to Montana what a nightmare with pulling our rv. Got truck back home and deleted it truck has Been great for 3 years not a single problem.
These emissions problems are no joke when they go
Really awesome truck give away. You broke down near my home town. I grew up in Gypsum, you broke down in Eagle, that’s where I met my wife. We have been married 25 years on Tuesday. I haven’t been bake there in years. Sorry you broke down, but thanks for the video, and some video of where I grew up.
I had to get rid of my 2015 duramax at 102k after the third emissions break down resulted in the turbo blowing oil through the entire exhaust system. So sad because my 2005 with over 300k never had a single issue. Replaced the 2015 with a 6.6 gas gmc and haven’t missed the new diesel problems since!
Carbon build up issue is around the corner on these engines, it’s not 6.0 gas that were proven to be reliable
Just give it the “Weight reduction” exhaust
Truck: continue driving to regen
Pulls over twice.
Soot level 150g: adds fuel to already clogged dpf
I never seen this channel before and this is the first video I seen, live a hr west from the Colorado sign you stopped at in a little area called Ft. Duchesne. I’m sure you will remember the trip for a long time and I’m glad you got home safe. Also the giveaway was awesome and congratulations to the lucky winner.
Hopefully you're covered under warranty still josh. Best of luck!
There’s no way he’s covered, unless the dealer is cool.
No warranty here
Creeping up on 100k in my L5P makes "weight reduction" even more tempting. Wishing you the best and let's get that truck running right again ❤️
👍😂
Mine still low miles and I’m determined to hire a personal trainer to make her lose weight.
Should have deleted it from the start 100k with that egr and dpf being ran through your engine the damage has already been done.
I recommend 100% doing the weight reduction. The L5P is the strongest of the big 3 and has the most potential. The emissions Is the only thing that can kill the truck. Remove the Junk. I decided to get my truck fixed, and it has never been better. Runs like a top. The oil is no longer purely black at oil changes. It truly is a shame to damage the beautiful L5P by leaving the cancer on the truck.
@@ethanconard2178 it’s not a strongest. You not going to find duramax in school busses or mining equipment or farm equipment or box trucks, cummins only. Also, crankshaft balancer pin is the weakest thing and cannot found on any Diesel engine except duramax. That’s why duramax known for broken crankshaft
Thanks for the informative video and sorry this happened. What size wheels/tires do you run and what did you do, if anything, to the front end for the taller tires?
I had similar problems when I bought my 18 L5P used. I decided to delete it, after deleting it the engine locked up. I swapped the engine myself and now she runs great. Did I mention this is my first diesel truck ever?
Dang Man, I hate you had so much trouble.
Romans 8:28
And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.
God will use this brother. Keep your head up, you sure blessed that Veteran with the build man. And you got to spend time with your brother too man.
Time for a “permanent fix”
Sounds like earl might have to do some work on the l5p if you know what I mean.
Sorry to see this happen to you. Best of luck on finding a fix for it
I’ve been thinking about buying a new truck lately but couldn’t pull the trigger. This video just answered all my questions. I’ll keep my old 08 Silverado and just keep upgrading her.
Keep her
Ya I’ve got an 09. Think we’ll just keep her haha
As for tow/haul mode, I run around with it on at all times, the shift points are way better, holds gears longer to let the engine work, and it locks the torque converter in 2nd gear instead of at 55mph which takes a lot of heat and out of the converter and reduces wear. And in my case, with having 37’s and stock gears (4.56’s are on the way) it makes a world of difference holding lower gears longer; 6th gear is so overdriven with 3.73’s snd 37’s that it’s unusable. So it actually helps my fuel economy because the engine is up in its power band and holding 12 pounds of boost, so the engine load is 20-30% doing 80 in 5th instead of 40-60% in 6th
Without tow/haul on. Converter locks in 4th
Yup ur exactly correct
I was gonna say, my lml goes into regen at around 37 grams of soot. Something is causing your computer to reject the regen. My Autel MaxiAP displays a reason for a reject. I bet there's a bad sensor or bad programming involved here. If you're still rolling, just force a regen every 37 grams, or so.
If I were to make it in time I would’ve definitely let you take my truck and tow yours home with it if you needed it! That was a long trip for you to deliver a GIVEAWAY TRUCK! You truly are a great man brother!
Have you replaced your DPF? I think that could be a major issue since it is emissions compliant and it now has 100,000 miles on it. (This is based off of what I learned in my Automotive class that I took in high school. We didn't go over much because they don't deal with them)
Dpf is good for at least 500k miles or more
I doubt it. Dpf rarely go bad on these trucks. I've done 2. And those were under warranty with less than 10k miles on them.
Trade that dmax off for a gas HD/SD. You need something reliable for a long term truck, and todays diesels are not reliable. Great video.
Yep.
I hardly haul or tow anymore so I went 6.4 hemi megacab 1 ton and I don't have to deal with emissions headaches. Gas towing ain't the same but no headaches.
@@MrStaybrown Yessir, I'll be upgrading my 15 1 ton 6.2 to a 7.3 with 4:30 gears. My semi convinced me to go gas.
@Mrstaybrown You still have emissions junk...just not as much
Same thing happened to me 10hrs out from home. I used cruise control to adjust my speed because it had no power even when I Floored it
OLD TRUCKS RULE!!!
If I were a gambling man I'd say that edge pulsar was the culprit
It might be
Anyway to pull it while on the trip and go back to normal just for the trip.
I would have unplugged the chip you installed on top of the ecu and put it back to complete stock. Not knocking any aftermarket parts but I’d leave well enough alone. My work has 2 duramax trucks and both have cost us close to $80k in 4 months in fuel related repairs. Anyone can guess what failed.
Did you ever let trucks finish regenerating? No, that’s why you keep supporting dealers
@@repairvehicle that's true, my coworker never let's his powerstroke regen and it's a grocery getter and only runs around town stop n go..then it goes to the dealership for a week. 🤦♂️
@@MrStaybrown , stop and go kill’s diesel vehicles. Gas is way better option in stop and go
@@repairvehicle yes sir, I can't convince him otherwise.
@@repairvehicle hybrids like stop n go. Never heard diesels or gas not like stop n go, makes no difference to the engine. Wives myth
Point blank performance has a video on this exact problem. DPF failure had the soot pushing out the air box. The air filter was completely covered in soot as well. We can thank the EPA for this.
Nice try fed boys
Dang man. Beautiful L5P. I hope it all goes well and nothing major. You still under warranty? Can’t wait for the next video.
It's a little hard giving this video a thumbs up considering how it ended. That sucks!
Delete it but, do NOT put it on your channel.
Second that motion. Don’t put it out there, nobody knows.
They can’t really do much to you at all for a delete unless you have DOT numbers multiple TH-camrs have gotten away with it
I agree
Need to know. They don't need to know.
You are a good man. That made that man’s day.
Oh man… you went west out of Denver from grand junction. I did that once with a 95 f150 5.0 with my 4wheeler on the back. Driving from CT to NV. Shit was nuts. The elevation creeps up on you in Utah.
Them l5p must be bad for emission issues my co worker has a 17 duramax that is having a lot of the similar problems. It's just so annoying that the factory spends 1000s on putting on those parts so we have to spend 1000s to get rid of them so we can actually go somewhere without worrying that were not gonna get there.🤯
You are exactly correct
This almost smells like a fuel rail issue. They have a big problem with the pass side rail and connector having issues. If you watch your rail pressures. Fuel rail pressure 1+2 should be near thier desired. Any deviation by more than a couple hundred psi.. there's an issue. Also they have injector and injector connector issues. Also the fact you threw a mass air flow code makes me think you might have an issue there or you have a boost leak somewhere. The other big issue they have issue the def injector getting clogged and causing regens to be a massive pita. Im a gm tech by trade. If you want to work with me directly. Hit me up.
I had to spray wurth dpf cleaner in front of the dpf just to buy some time it did clean it and did get me out of a hard spot but now she is breathing better and not longer have to worry about any of that stuff
Boy what a nightmare of a trip! Really makes a case for Gassers
