Cummins or Duramax content?? Which one do you enjoy seeing more of?
Duramax!
Duramax

So much has changed from the early days of the channel and yet somehow everything that was good you’ve been able to maintain. This is such quality content and it should be genuinely appreciated. Pound for pound the best duramax content on TH-cam, and arguably the best diesel TH-cam content period. Thank you Josh.
Thanks brother that’s really awesome to hear
There is dirty max jack but i do agree because he knows his root and is very genuine.
@@TruckMaster hopefully you don’t become a “giveaway” aka truck raffle channel. Your content is very helpful.
If I had that many project burning, I wouldn’t be able to shut off my brain at night! Don’t burn yourself out man!
Good point
Yeah sounds like me I was waiting to build my k1500 all the way but I finally decided to swap the motor with a 6.0 ls with a cam and long tube headers
Mine burnt me out and destroyed my life... But... Nice truck
Man whistlindiesel would have a hay day with all the red trucks in your fleet
If its red its dead hahaha
I’ve been watching your channel for years now waiting for you to get an LMM! I have a 2007.5 as well and I’m pumped to watch you build it as a daily. You’ve helped me more than once already, keep up the great content man!
This is why I watch the Truckmaster. He got something going on all the time. He keeps me in suspense what he's doing and what is coming up next. Josh I've learned so much about working on Duramax when before I just basically drive and take my problems to my local mechanic. Now I'm putting more time under the hood a fixing my problems myself. Thank you for educating me on this. I own a Duramax and a Cummins. So it's definitely helping me by watching your videos. A year ago I wouldn't even try to do the things on my Duramax what I'm doing now.
I love how your channel is taking off man. I'm a police officer in West Virginia and I enjoy coming home from a long shift and seeing your videos. Although I own a powerstroke, I still enjoy watching your channel and find it awesome that you have so much knowledge of the duramax's. I hope for much more success and ill be right along on the journey with your brother.
Thanks! Also I appreciate your service 🇺🇸 hopefully very soon I will get a powerstroke
Snap-on makes a fog box that is awesome took me bout 30 seconds to find out both mine were blown!!!!!👍👍
Nice idea
I stumbled upon your channel by accident and very glad that I did. I have only been subscribed for about a month now. The quality of your content is hands down the best that I have found so far on TH-cam. I believe that ai was directed your way but initially ignored this because I am an idi/ Powerstroke owner. Finally decided to watch one of your videos now I am hooked. The information that you provide along with your knowledge and experience is unparalleled. Keep up the great work. Maybe one of these days I will buy a Duramax. Until then I will keep watching Truckmaster blow all other TH-camrs (truck content) away.
Thanks brother! Hopefully I will be a power stroke owner soon 👍
I watched a bunch of the previous builds. Respect for cummins, but i’m about the duramax. Had a silver LMM, lost it last year. 272,000 deleted and tuned pretty hot, but the cheap way. Never gave me issues. Was always on point with oil changes and fuel filter changes. Learned about doing the work the right way, and got to see the work done here on your channel. Might be more of a pita to work on without taking the cab off, but it can be done. Haven’t watched in a while, but i see you picked up the project i intend to find. Some LMM with blown head gaskets for cheap somewhere. Put my cash into a motor build, instead of hoping a high mileage truck doesn’t have an expensive problem appear. Watching the diagnosis is great info. Looking forward to watching the head gasket job on the LMM while the cab is in.
Thanks 👍
Absolutely brother. And also enjoyed the story. Props for your personal sacrifice to benefit your daughters, and additional props for entering this new chapter.
As an 07 lmm owner (260k) still running super great, I am amazed at all information and aftermarket equipment for the Diesel engines. Terms and parts I have no clue about. Expensive parts I'm sure as all diesel parts are. My truck has a bully dog program at which setting I can't remember as all the information was stolen once with the truck. Runs great and pulls 30 ft trailer fully loaded with cattle ( 19-24 @ 600 to 800 pounds each) with no issues. I can't imagine what it would be like using one of your engines. Enjoy this channel a lot
I really need a second opinion on a problem I have a 2013 Chevrolet 2500 Duramax have oil in exhaust its less after i got a new turbo but it still there. I took it back to the mechanic he took a look at it did some test all day and some research he said everything is fine the turbo needs to be brake in with the turbo seals. He didn't say anything about problems with the head gasket, piston rings, valves, and pcv.
It’s possible it’s your new turbo, the oil can make its way past the turbo seal also because that oil in the exhaust can act as fuel and make your engine run away
What would be your next move if it was you the old turbo was worse the seals was barely there
Would it be valves seal or rods or any gaskets or seals
I have a duramax with blown head gasket, you would only know if you drove 75 mph for awhile or towed a trailor on expressway. It leaks combustion into cooling system. Leaks out over flow bottle. They use 3 layer gasket I'm told and leaks under extreme pressure. It's a 2004.
I bought new, I never overheated it not sure how it blew. It's been 7 yrs now I only use it for snow plowing, it does fine plowing unless we get 12 inches of snow.
Duramax content! Love the content lately, this channel is the reason I bought my first diesel truck!
Thanks
Your videos are great always informative I always watch your vids before working on my 05 duramax
My 2015 LML was losing coolant into the overflow and out the side (small tube) facing the fender.
Changed the thermostats, no more loss of coolant. Also temp was not running hot.
I’m having the same issue told it was head gaskets. I’ll change thermostats and see if that helps hopefully.
We are having yhe same issues. It's 6g to get head gasket repaired. We will try the thermostat
Would love to hear this is my issue. Mechanic has had it 4 separate times and can’t figure out what is wrong. Coolant is coming out of the valve, facing the fender and nobody can properly diagnose.
So you said at the beginning that the truck was already studded,tuned etc & it blew the Hg’s again?something isn’t right about this trucks story cause that’s very rare-i mean it’s not a sled pulling beast w/90 psi of boost so I’m baffled 🤷♂️
You’re right. That’s very interesting 🤔
I was thinking the same thing. Only thing I could figure is they went with oem studs and gaskets instead of chromoly studs and betters hg. Who knows. You never really know what youre gettin. My LMM is doing a weird coolant thing and Im thinking hgs but its got some weird symptoms nobody else has mentioned so Im still racking my brain.
@@irvwayshort9566 Did you end up finding the issue?
once you get the lmm up and running you should get the paint fixed and then get it fully paint corrected and ceramic coated
Great idea
"Graphene" coating is the new thing now, ceramic coating is soooooo 2020! Lol
Hey Josh, just thinking about your blown head gasket, yes I think it is, less a head is cracked. What you might do is remove all the injectors and make a threaded air fitting to charge each individual cylinder with air to see if it bubbles back into your coolant. Yer gonna have to rotate the crank/cam to close the valves...good luck!
I’m actually thinking about doing this process thanks for the tip 👍
Heater core hoses and well heater core. My lml holds pressure but its soft after about 8 hrs. Its my daily driver/hauler. No coolant loss thats a big taletale.
Watched the channel on and off for 3 years now . Content keeps getting better and better I finally subscribed ! Especially since you’re in Michigan too !
I'm a bit confused. What makes us think this truck has blown head gaskets? It's not smoking out the tail pipe, it runs great and stays cool, the only issue it the upper hose is getting hard, but you showed the tear in the hose, so if it was under that much pressure then it should be pissing from there. It doesn't add up to me, and if it was in my bay I would put a rad hose on it and solve it for why the pressure checker won't pump up, which may or may not lead me to head gaskets, but where we're at right now hasn't proven to me yet that I need to go to the work of pulling the heads, there's something else going on here.
i have same truck (lmm) Yours looks amazing .....Nice find....Im restoring mine as we speak...replaced it with a '21 "Tremor" and wanted my IFS back, hence the restoration
Love the NEW build! I drive an LMM myself. I’m hoping I can learn more about the lmm through your experience with the truck.
If u remove ur cap after a nite of rest on the truck an u still got some pressure in the system ......heads have to be pulled.....
👍
Our truck is rumbling like a train wen i pop the surge tank cap.....lol....but it runs n drives like a champ still....looking for space in my shop to tear into it....hoping i dont ruin the head for delaying the obvious....
Dont mind the Cummins....cant tolerate that Ram.....good for u if u can....😉
They make a coolant sniffer that detects exhaust in the coolant system i used when i worked at the dealership
You can also get exhaust in the coolant with a blasted egr cooler. Exhaust in the coolant doesn't automatically mean blown head gaskets
00:10 That truck ain't running while you're walking up to?? Remote key start Bro, you'll get use to it! lol 🇺🇸
Glad to see videos of you doing engine work again. That's why I started watching you.
Been watching your stuff for years man. I’ve got a 2007.5 LMM and just bought the HSP y-bridge/intake bundle. Hope you record the EGR delete on this so I can cheat off you! lol
Thanks for all the grade A content
Thanks!!
BEWARE: Chevy Geniuses designed the wheels and the wheel lugs so the surfaces are flat on the newer models. The wheels are not concave to support the lugs. So, if they are not tightened with 200 pounds of torque the can loosen and cause the wheel to become unbalanced and actually sheer off the other lugs and the wheel to come of while driving. I learned this the hard way and lost my right front outside of Brazil Indiana and crashed into a corn field. Three of the lugs and actually sheered off from the centrifugal force and when the the roadside assistance showed up the driver new exactly what had happened. Note: No recall ever has bee sent out. Because GM knows they will have to replace al the wheels. I have a 3500 HD.
I'd check to see if the EGR leaks (if it's still there). As for leakdown, upper rad hose is a good candidate, as are the heater lines. On dad's lb7, I did head gaskets at 425,000 miles. It was leaking from the water jacket to the outside of the block on Cyls 1 and 7, and into the cylinder on cyl 8 and possibly 6. But every hose I removed to do that HG job wouldn't seal after. They're original to the truck. So, today we ordered all new hoses for the truck. I tried priming the system dry, and it lost a pound a minute. The ends of the hoses were kinda crunchy. So, in your case, it might not be that you've got one leak, it might be that you've got a bunch of leaks and it's cumulative.
Also, if the HG have been done once before, it could be as simple as a stretched injector hold down bolt, or someone reused an injector crush washer. That might not have sealed up right. Something had to really go wrong to have had another head gasket problem with studded heads. Unless the previous guy forgot to tighten a few studs all the way.
I know it not a Ford. But I use a t off the degas bottle hose.then run a long hose with a gauge to where you can see it. Anything over + 20 psi indicates blown head gaskets on powerstrokes. Nice because I can see it move as a throttle it up.
You can put your pressure tester back on and start the engine and that could tell you if you have a combustion leak if the pressure rises quickly.
And if it doesn’t than you may have a intake gasket leaking.
Good luck 👍
I've been following you for a while. I love the content and knowledge you share. I finally subscribed as I just bought an 02 LB7. Thanks to you and your channel I knew what to look out for when buying a used duramax! Cudos man!
Have you even done a vin search or anything to see where your old truck actually ended up?🤔
How do you not have 500,000 subscribers you are my go-to fix it/idea channel
Dude I literally just did this to my LBZ and i think it fixed it!!!
That’s awesome man
@@TruckMaster we made the same video on the same day 😂
Have you ever seen a bad egr cooler (lml)? The hoses aren't rock hard but it is pushing the coolant out of the overflow
Do a pressure test also replace your thermostats that also could be it
Hi Josh, got my truck master tee shirt today and tucked inside was a American Flag sticker,thanks buddy your the best.
That like finding the prize in the box of cereal 😂
🇺🇸 'Murica!
If you have a hoist head gaskets are a lot easier with the cab off.
I think Cummins is better doing a burnout vs. Duramax try. that out
👍👍
i drove my 15 for a year and half with head gaskets out never over heated. never had any white smoke when first started in the mornings. i deleted it at 30k and lost the head gaskets at 150k its got 265k on it now. I pulled the engine to do them so i could do the oil pan gaskets to when i was in there.
That thing hasn't smoked a bit yet idk Truckmaster looks like it's fine. If it's got studs it is
MAN I LOVE THESE TRUCKS IM LOOKING RIGHT NOW NOT QUITE READY TO PURCHASE ONE YET I WANT TO FINISH FLYING SCHOOL THEN SUMMER HITS AND I NEED TO TOW MY TOYHAULER AND MY BOAT LOVE THESE CHEVY VLOGS!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks
Can’t wait for the Cummins!!!
Thanks buddy
Duramax! But Cummins is cool as well
Very nice ! I see you have topside creeper, how do you like it and is it worth it?
You know this, but i'm going to say it anyway. My 07 lbz had a leaking head gasket. I found it the hard way when I opened the coolant tank cap when it was cold and got blasted in the face with coolant. look for black stains in the reservoir tank and pressure in a cold coolant system. sure sign you have a leaking head gasket. cool video thanks. 👍😎
Plans for a Rds turbo on the lmm? Would love to hear a fixed vane in it
Can’t you check for exhaust gas in the coolant bottle. The sell the kit with dye at harbor freight for like 15 bucks
Yes definitely
Can’t wait to see the Cummins back in action ! The frame looks awesome 👌🏻
I'm late to the game, but if it won't hold pressure when you pump it up how is the hose swelling up and getting hard? Especially when it has cracks and pin holes in it. I'm looking forward to see what is going on. Great videos, new sub.
Josh I'm strongly thinking that you might have old coolant hoses that have tiny leaks and take the coolant bottle off and pressure test that cause they do crack at the seams cause if it did over heat when you had that fuel line return issue cause if your not seeing leaks on the cylinder heads it could be that cheap of a fix
Bad water pump or water pump housing I’d check that they can have similar symptoms of head gaskets. Most likely it’s not them though. Idk maybe the previous mechanic missed something normally a studded duramax is gold!
Don't waste your time and money on bandage. You already know it's not holding pressure, head gasket no matter what because engine has been overheating more than once.
Great point
😢
I’m not sure on mine. I’ve got oil in the coolant tank but no pressure no tight hose. Truck is crazy stout with efi, cp3, but wasn’t studded.
Don’t forget to test radiator flow upper to lower hose - crap or wrong fluid use could have plugged flow
Just a thought to check
Cool truck 😎
Just got done putting welded water pump on my Duramax
Nice 👍
I'm just guessing maybe your waterpump...or the water neck thermostat. It's a week late
I still need them factory rims off of it it is a very nice truck Monza 2012 with the same rims
Snap on pressure tester works great for head gasket test.....
Thanks
pressure testers don't work to good on diesels with a leaking head gasket. My lbz had that problem
Pierce sales in Henrietta rocks it’s going to be an awesome truck with one of their beds!!
You better replace the whole engine dude I just done it on my 03 duramax lb7
I think General Motors know much much more than what you're ever gonna know
Can you name your LMM. Duramax Clifford the Big Red Dog
😂👍
@@TruckMaster hey I was just giving an idea and a suggestion so
@@matthewrobertmontez3587 lmao you took that way to serious LMAO 🤡🤡🤡
@@mrpipefitter9963 yes i did your right well hope eveything well
Our truck rumbles like a freight train wen u crack the cap on the surge tank in the morning...lol...but it runs an drives like a champ still...waitn for some free space in our shop to tear into it...just hoping i don't ruin the head by delaying the obvious....dont mind Cummins engine ....cant stand that Ram....good on u if u can.....😉
Just did head gaskets and ARP studs on my 2013 LML lifted the cab did a S&S diesel CP3 conversion ppe up pipes and flo pro exhaust. Did a few other things too 😜. Really wasn’t as bad as I thought it would be. If you have access to a lift it was really not bad to pull the cab.
Definitely 👍
I wish i had done more when my cab was lifted. Just di the turbo and cp3. Wish i had replaced the pipes and did head studs while it was off. But things get expensive.
both i love chevy and dodge so anything you show i be here watching
Why don't you do a combustion leak test on it?
Good point
@6:05 Are you mixing green antifreeze with the dexcool there?
I have a 07 lbz losing coolant 300.000 miles on it I could not find where it was going is it a blown head gasket water pump bad egr cooler No drips or wet spots 4000$ head gasket or water pump I don't have money to throw at my problem So as a Baptist preacher I pray Lord you know this truck I n side and out show me the problem The next day I come out of the store and I see a huge puddle under my truck dripping off the transfer case I am so happy to see an external leak rather than internal I go to the truck shop where I drive for and ask how to pressize the coo.nt system a mechanic takes a blow gun and blows a little pressure into the over flow of my coolant reservoir immediately I hear a leak between the turbo and the upper radiator pipe it must have dripping into the valley slowly and evaporating before dripping on
the ground replace the hose which swollen almost to bursting fixed my problem I hope this helps someone. I know a good mechanic
Lmm cause that's what I got. I'm a GM guy and your videos convinced me to get one. Lbz in my area where crazy prices. Lmm was in my price range. Thx Josh. 🤘
I hate cars that over heat. My experience is to just get into the complete repair.
Check for coolant leak by cooling tube to oil cooler
Here's a update on my truck I got a hole new cab bed fenders sport hood and bumper and it's all white there a little rust but way better than what I alr got so you k ow 97 ram 3500
I'm ready for another lmm video it has me wanting one now
That’s what I’m looking for that ram to mod a dump set up !!! Nice 👍
Duramax! All day long.
Love the vids....and the dump bed!! Lol;))
Thanks
I like all of the projects. Great content. 👍.
Not real sure your supposed to mix red and green antifreeze
Your right.... mixing them will cause the antifreeze to turn to jelly
Rock hard upper hose. What else could it be? Wouldn’t waste any more time.
i once worked in G.M, a G.M mechanic told me that NEVER use the orange radiator coolant. To switch to the regular green coolant. He told me that their getting a lot of vehicles around 150,000 K.M mileage mark with blown head gaskets and all the vehicles had the orange coolant. He told me he uses the green coolant and went over 400,000 KILOMETERS with no head gasket issues.
I'm from Algonac Michigan. I have a 2015 Duramax and everyone keeps saying "you have blown head gaskets". The issue I'm having is my hose doesn't stay rock solid after about an hour. My coolant shoots out of my over flow when I shit on those 2020 mustangs and vets on 94. I noticed the hot side turbo pipe has basically every additive I tried caked up through the lower silicone clamp/gasket (take it easy on me I'm new to this bad ass family and truck). It just feels like vacuum. My air filter fell off about a week ago and my truck wouldn't accelerate. Checked mass air flow and there was a leaf just blocking the sensors. My question is, could it be a boost vacuum leak? Could that cause air to build up and shoot my coolant out of my over flow. Also, I noticed I need a new coolant res cap. My truck is deleted by good old granny speed shop and the prior owner only had maintenance done at dealership. I change my oil every month because I commute a lot. I'm just not feeling the blown head gasket thing. However, if the feed back states it sounds like a blown head gasket then I'll travel down that path. I just changed the coolant temp sensor and the high oil pressure sensor (could have part name wrong, it was under driver side and I hired a keeler elf to disconnect the wire, the thing was spewing oil. FYI: I was heading to grayling to grab my dad's camper and my high pressure (coolant line behind resonator) split down the middle and left me stuck on the side of the road. My fiance was driving and I was sleeping so I can almost guarantee it overheated and stayed overheated for about 15 miles before the mug blew. I think that info may be relevant. I hope all of you are having a blessed day and I look forward to your responses.
I am currently having almost the same issue as you are. I have a 2015 3500hd and the truck can sit over night and next morning I check coolant level. As I take off the cap the over fill side bubbles like crazy like if it had a lot of pressure in there. And other side will rise a bit. If I drive it for about 25 miles low coolant level comes up and I’ll park truck and it’ll start leaking coolant through reservoir side. I was told by 3-4 mechanics that it could be a head gaskets but I don’t want to certainly believe that haha. 170k miles on her.
Is the egr cooler deleted
The suspense continues!
🔥🔥
I like both engines. You said it was deleted so I take it doesn't have an erg
cooler. They can do weird things like this when they go bad.
EGR stupid auto correct !
You have some amazing projects going buddy really enjoy your videos.
Great content Cummins or duramax doesn’t matter I’ve owned both. I always tune in either way 👍🏼
I would be disconnecting the egr cooler and see if it is pressurizing the cooling system, had it happen to me.
Great content TM! I just picked up my first duramax for 3 grand! Running and driving lmm
I liked your videos, your are making me willing to buy a Duramax. The Isuzu engines have very good reputation.
Love the content man! I'm experiencing the same issues with my LLY.
Just picked up a dirty max love the channel
Bro I swear i just seen your old duramax. On Facebook marketplace
No way
Next truck on the channel needs to be a powerstroke
I totally agree
7.3 powerstroke at that
Got a 99 7.3 DRW with 184k for sale would love to see it on the channel
Need to delete your intake resonator? Better call Earl... Nevermind, I think Earl's on the EPA top 10 most wanted list
😂😂😂
Duramax, your truck master so to me thats all truck but duramax is what i would reather see since i own a 2004 crew with 8 foot box
all content is good. Did I see somewhere that you are going to have a truck show sometime.
need a cooling system combustion gas tester if head gasket is blown from combustion chambers to. cooling system causing overheat.
Yeah well it wouldn't surprise me if it had been
