hello there, I have the 2024 at4 1500 with the lzo and I recently bought all upgrades ppl has to offer for this engine, and my question to you is it really worth it? have you seen any major gains ,hp, tq. mileage? I'm hesitant to install it all as its still all brand new in boxes because I'm not really sure that after upgrading it all I dont need some kind of tuner to help with all the upgrades that the ppe parts are adding to the engine. please advise as to what your experience has been .thank you
Thanks again, I just saw this post after I posted mine. I will research your links further! Great job man!
I'm still watching the video, but I have ADHD so I'm going to ask this now. Did you ever run the PPE intake tube with the air raid box?
Incredible content and value to those of us that haven’t tried all this stuff. Hats off to you ,Sir.
I just ordered my high country with the 3.0 and blue interior this week and I am very excited thank you so much for all the info it is very much appreciated 🤗
Thanks for taking the time to do all this testing and sharing.
I've been a fan and supporter of your page since I purchased my 2021 AT4 LM2 and began researching the trucks. About a year and a half ago, I bought mine with 50,000 miles on it. Since then, I've installed the PPE intercooler-your installation video was incredibly helpful, especially because I only received half of the instruction manual. I've also added PPE oil/tranny/diff pans and the intake pipe, among some other minor add-ons like Bilstein 5100s and RC control arms, which help fit the Nitto Recon 295 60 20 tires with minimal rubbing at full tilt, for those who might be curious. I'm sharing all this because I owe much of it to you and your informative videos. Thanks to your guidance, I feel much more confident in my truck's longevity, so again, thank you. However, I'm currently on the lookout for a PPE catch can, but I stumbled upon a VSE one instead. Do you have any insights on it?
Haven’t had my truck very long but love doing mods and hoping companies support the 3.0 like they do the big diesels. Great info video man👍🏼
These long format deep dives are really nice. I'd love to see a breakdown of some common issues you've seen or heard of with both generations of these engines
Agreed
He did put together a video of the common leak points, also has a video of the oil pump belt replacement and the fuel system. Agreed though it would be nice to have it all in a long format and touch on some of the other issues. I believe there’s a lot of wire chaffing issues and areas to look at where it might need better routing to avoid higher mileage chaffed wires.
@SPThor Those are both great videos. With some of the LM2s having been around for almost five years at this point, I'm curious to see if any other problems have reared their head. I would have put money on DPFs crapping out left and right at this point
I had a situation with my 2020 3.0 where the DEF was leaking into the EGR system through a small crack. It kept throwing a NOX sensor code which I had replaced 3 times by the dealer. Turns out there were 3 other trucks in there for the same thing.
@@cje26I monitor issues on forums and TSBs being put out by GM as close as possible. I have not really seen any DPF issues outside of the unfortunate instance of someone putting DEF in the diesel tank. The emission system seems to be pretty reliable.
Thanks for the time and effort man. Really appreciate hearing your take and knowledge on this stuff 🍻
Prouda you. I'm stoked on the PPE oil catch can/seperator. As an aftermarket automotive engineer, PPE's work is fantastic. If I had unlimited pockets I'd purchase everything they make lol
This was very kind of you. Banks just needs to get the derringer DONE ALREADY! I love duramax tuners and had one on my lml. over 500 horses for $700. He wants $3k for 40 on the lzo/lm2...NO THANK YOU!
Hard to find gem: If you are looking to level your at4x truck and throw 35's on it, PEAK makes everything you need specifically for the Multimatic DSSV's! CMOM BANKS, give us a tune!!
Stillen Air Scoop didn't make the cut?
Great content Brotha! Keep up the great work!
Thank you for all the information you provide.
I had issues with K&N, very helpful with the refund process.
Thanks for taking the time to tell us about all of these mods. It is greatly appreciated. I am thinking about some of these items for my ZR2. I am your neighbor and would like to sit down for a minute and see what you think the best bang for the buck is. Thanks again.
Hey! Yeah, we will have to make that happen !
I am about to start shopping for a diesel pickup.l, most likely a lower mileage LML and/or a 3.0 Duramax. Either way, my goal is longevity, so to do get there, I am making my truck more durable, dependable and improve drivability.
This video is very insightful with great content in that the 3.0 Duramax engines (LM2/LZ0) seems to take backseat to it's bigger brothers, the 6.6 Duramax Engines, in terms of tuning, aftermarket solutions and mods.
It appears that the 3.0, just like the other Duramax engines, have untapped potential. This video may definitely influence my choice of a future purchase. Thanks for work put forth for this video and its content.
Love your channel the best by far for all information for the newer LZ0! I'VE followed you install parts great install videos as well, but I put intercooler, S&B cold air intake big change with both of them I really never run over 200 degrees
I borrowed my brothers cts3 unit (he’s very happy with it on his Cummins), and it is glitchy, but works on my lm2. I’ve had more issues with it as it’s gotten colder for some reason. I like the data options though , and the big screen works better for my blind self than a banks
This video is amazing keep them up on the 3.0
Thank you ! I appreciate the kind words !
I have a CTS3 and have been running it for a while, I also had one on a 2002 7.3 SD for about 2 years. I loved it on the 7.3, not in love with it on my 3.0. I seem to have issues with it freezing and not waking up on startup. Probably 50% of starts I have to wake it up manually and every once in a while, it goes right back to sleep. It’ll freeze up about once a month and I have to disconnect and reconnect it, sometimes upwards of 8-10 times to get it to work correctly. I have it completely up to date with their update software. Otherwise, I like the mount and display, I run the 9 parameter display primarily to watch RPM, EOT, ECT, gear/TCL, TFT, Regen status, IAT, EGT and one more I can’t remember. and the 4 parameter display to watch regen. If I was to do it again, I’d run 2 banks gauges and will probably swap eventually.
What oil additive if any do you run? Also, what fuel additive do you recommend? I usef seafoam both in the oil and in my fuel in my 2.8 until I discovered diesel klean. Up until it was totaled I still used seafoam in the oil at least, but I would think there'd be something better specifically for diesel?
I did not know about green diesel tuners until now. I r been following EOC closely for a while now. My warranty is almost up.
So i have a 21 im leaning to the zilla pipe. Seems like you dont have a true preference for drop in filter. Said afe is thicker, would that be your recommendation? I know the drop in filter isnt going to change much, but whats your best pair to go with the zilla ppe pipe? Thanks for all your info!
Has this engine ( more so the first version since its been out longer ) had issues start to show up with the injector pump failing. The reason I ask, I now am hearing that the HP4 pumps on the 6.6 are showing up some failures as in steel going through the system and the huge expense involved with replacing the fuel system although I don't think as bad as what the CP4 on the GM with no electric assist pump was.
Like watching all of your videos! I recently purchased a LZ0 diesel and trying to pinch the pennies where I can. What upgrades/changes would you recommend to maximize fuel economy? I don't tow hardly at all, just a daily driver.
stock will be best mpg, typically. New video coming soon discussing intakes with a reference to mpg. I did get a gain in mpg with just a k&N air filter but the video will give a little more detail.
great info! I think you should head to Canada and find the guys doing the DEF/DPF/EGR deletes and do a review :)
I've got a 2020 LM2 with 107K miles. Aside from a few sensor problems it's been a good engine. do you know of any high mileage problems that might come up?
Purchasing a 2021 Sierra 3.0. really want to get tuning done immediately, and I really like the VSE kit with the turbo upgrade, unfortunately my wallet's not going to be able to take that for a little while. I think if I remember right it was somewhere around $2,700 I believe for their three tune with everything included (not intake). I looked at Duramax tuners and after the TCM refund it's right around 1500 bucks. thoughts?
Wondering if you’ve seen runvse’s new ccv catch can coming out in April? And if it’s what you’ve had in mind for one the times you’ve talked about it?
Nice video, I'm excited about the catch can coming out, do you have a timeline on that?
Last I heard, there was a chance for me to see one in a few weeks.
Love the summary! Great work! As usual, wish us SUV (Tahoe, Yukon) LM2 owners had as many options as the pickups. Understandably so, the SUVs aren't as sold in the high volumes as the trucks.
Random question. Does the STILLEN scoop/intake help anything? Do you happen to know if it fits the SUVs as well as the pickups?
Thanks for the kind words ! I do use the stillen scoop and I feel it helps get air into the airbox quicker for use. Unfortunately, I don't think you guys have one available :-( If true, hopefully they are working on one for you.
Suv owners are more mature than truck owners so they don't waste their money on this stuff 😂
Hi, I really like the detail you get into on your channel for this engine. I have a 2023 with the 3.0 LZO and it is my first diesel truck and I am very impressed with it. That being said I have a question regard oil temp, by the way I have had the Banks Super Gauge and it is probably the best add I have applied so far. Anyway my question pertains to what you said about oil temp and when it approaches 280 degrees. If I am on the highway my engine hovers around 230 or so and that to me is dangerously close to that limit you set of 280 before oil starts breaking down. I want to start pulling a camper trailer and I know that will add load and temp to the engine. What is a good oil cooler to install and where? Same question for the trans cooler. I look forward to you response. Thanks again for doing what you do here for this subject.
Hey! No oil coolers available right now, unfortunately. There used to be a trans cooler and bypass valve available as well as a deep transmission pan. I have a few different videos on those items.
Whelp! As you know I snagged a truck and was instantly drawn to PPE. Looking forward to crafting content and also sharing my findings. Great stuff here.
Huge honor to have you stop by the channel! PPE is one of my favorites and they have some really cool stuff coming out in the future in addition to what is shown here. I look forward to seeing your impressions of the products available. Are you going to the MATS Las Vegas event in March this year ?
@@DemonWorks to be determined on MATS. Just got my new truck and am spending $10k on some oral surgery I wasn’t planning on. So trips right now are not on the top of the list.
@@Lethalgarage 100% understood ! I think we met at CamaroCon a few years back. my memory was telling me the MATS event, but it was Camarocon! I was running in the autocross at that time, I believe I was in my 15 Z/28. Anywho, we will cross paths at some point again!
Appreciate your wisdom. Unfortunately I’m under warranty til 150k miles, so all my Modifications will be the kind that the warranty approves of 😂
Right as you need to change your oil pump belt haha
Incredibly informative video, thank you for posting. I will research other videos you have posted.
I’m purchasing my first 3.0 LZ0 diesel (23 with 18k miles) and would like to add some horsepower and sound. With so many different options you so generously shared, spending anywhere from $179 for some adds to $2000, What are your favorite two or three options I can install and not spend more then $2500. Once again Thank You for sharing your experience and knowledge!!!
Hey ! thanks for the kind words! My current 3.0 (ZR2) I am starting off with the K&N Air filter, PPE Intake elbow and the PPE Zilla Pipe. Then will add the Stillen scoop followed by the PPE Charge air cooler upgrade. Hope this helps at least a little! I left off the Banks idash gauges because those are already installed, but those were the first items to be installed.
Excellent video thank you 😊
Thanks for the positive feedback ! Glad you enjoyed it!
Quick question. I performed a transmission service on my 2021 Chevy 3.0 LM2. I purchased a new transmission pan gasket. I torque everything to specs but seems a little oil is dripping from the pilot hole for the gasket. Could that be residual oil from putting the pan up and the new gasket? It’s shifting great and I don’t see any oil coming from anywhere else
Could be residual or an actual leak. Easiest way to verify is to thoroughly clean the area then recheck it after driving. It only takes a slight misalignment to get a leak but I am hoping it's just residual! Please let me know your findings as it may help myself and others in the future!
Hey I just got a p249c code on my 3.0 do you know what could cause it?
Just bought my first lz0. Been watching a lot of your videos and I’m about start buying stuff to get more intake noise. What’s the #1 set up for it that you recommend? From what I put together it would be the factory air box with a new filter and the zilla intake pipe
For my new ZR2, I am running the K&N air filter, PPE elbow (installed right now) and then adding the Carbon Zilla pipe followed by the Upgraded Charge air cooler.
@@DemonWorks sweet, thanks for the reply. Keep up the content 👊🏻 excited to see a catch can set up on these
Is Fuely the name of the app you use to track fuel mileage and shows all of your prior fill-ups? I get a lot of results when I search on that. Thanks
Yes, that's the one !
Thinking of doing the PPE Exhaust on my 2020 Sierra. Do you think it would be any benefit for towing?
Buy it for looks over anything, the 2020 is already straight piped.
@DemonWorks what do you recommend if I just wanna get more turbo whistle out of the truck?
K&N intake was my favorite for noise, but you will need the intake tube to get the most out of it. Cheapest would be the S&B intake as it comes with the box and the tube. th-cam.com/video/d8T0w3dt63Y/w-d-xo.html
I'm new to this, how would these mods affect warranty
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
No info on the PPE transmission thermal bypass valve. What are your thoughts? Does it get tranny fluid TOO cold?
That wasn’t included because this was mainly for the engine.
I have a few videos on the valve. It works great, always flowing.
Do you think maintaining trans fluid around 150 and even lower in the winter could be potentially detrimental over time? Do you run the valve on your 24?
Of all of the mods, which helped the MPG and HP the most? EGT temps?
MPG - none. EGT, unsure but the charge air cooler helps keep the intake temps in check under high load situations
@@DemonWorks have you thought about a turbo upgrade?
My Chevy dealer says I need to use GM DEF fluid in my truck??? 2022
Chevy Silverado 3.0 . 68000 miles and the engine light comes on .replaced the DEF injector. dealer rejen twice
GM Def not required, just def fluid that is clean and not expired or damaged by temp/uv. Sounds more like you have an issue that hasn't been able to be diagnosed properly so the finger gets pointed your direction. that's just an assumption by me though.
Well, it looks like the Banks Derringer for the LM2 / LZ0 is dead. The L5P is out and Banks removed all reference to the Derringer for the 3.0 Duramax from their website. I have been waiting so long but now I guess I need to look at the Edge EZX. Have you heard anything out of Banks that might make me want to wait?
L5P for the 2024 is not out, that's the one to watch for. The Edge is out now whereas the derringer is not, so if you want one now, that is a good option. From what I hear from Banks, it is on hold.
@DemonWorks Thank you... keep up the great work, you are my go to source for all things 3.0 Duramax!
5 STARS FROM ME FOR ALL YOUR LZ0 INFOR
you forgot a filter. AEM has a dry flow one out for these too...
it was there on the screen at 9:10 didn't need to elaborate on it after breezing past the airaid oiled and dry...
Any plans to try the Edge EZX?
Yes, if Banks doesn’t come out with the Derringer first.
@@DemonWorksI’m also looking into seeing this. I’m waiting for the derringer to go with the pods and pedal monster but the edge looks good especially having those extra body features like tire size and disabling the auto start stop that seem appealing.
@@DemonWorks Banks removed all reference to the Derringer for the LM2 / LZ0 last week :(.
@demonworks does the S&B work on the ‘24 LZO? I assume it would be the same…
It does!
Any DPF/DEF delete mods
none shown
If you have a $1000k to spend on mods. What would it be?
PPE Zilla Pipe, PPE Intake Elbow and Banks iDash setup.
Chapters would have been perfect for this video
I gotchoo ! They are coming. That was the plan.
@@DemonWorks awesome thanks
There’s just so many different opinions on catch cans out there with no real studies. I’d like to see 2 different engines torn down after 30K to see if it really works
It's not necessarily the engines, it's more about the exhaust filters. The specifications and requirements based around the oil are because of what they do to the exhaust filters. I'm more curious if the soot mass takes longer to accumulate after a catch can vs before. In addition, there have been numerous 3.0 trucks with oil leaks from the intakes splitting and oil pouring out of them. We shouldn't be burning oil.
@@DemonWorks I suppose that’s a better question. Will be interesting to see regen gaps improve with that. I’m guessing no but I could see how it might be possible
If anyone is interested in ppf carbon intake pipe and resonator delete pipe let me know. Barely used
Post it up on the facebook group - 3.0 Duramax Technical and Performance - include a pic with your name. facebook.com/groups/3.0duramax
@@DemonWorks thanks, just joined the group
Welp. Ill be another 10 grand deep 😅
