I would catch that Dmax up on all of the maintenance (filters, fluids) and make any repairs if needed. Keep it completely stonk and baby it. And, take the key out of it when you park it. 😊
I started a Tow truck company in 2011 and I have had every kind of Diesel truck from the big 3 and I can tell you hands down nothing even comes close to the reliability of the GM Duramax with the allison trans. The Fords were a nightmare with engine problems,one problem after another. The Dodge with the cummins the engines were okay until the bolt in the grid heater breaks and destroys the engine. The Dodge transmissions were very weak ,had replace a few and the Dodges had a bad habit of cracking flexplates especially while towing heavy loads.
I have drove menny Kodiak werckers with that combo. And I drive then hard.... they are tuff set ups, I used to think the fird 7.3 was the best.... I have blown up 3 of the 7.3...
@@Josh.Watkinsyeah when your warranty is up you do that when it's not and they void it ask me how I know that was the reason they used I couldn't have my transmission replaced when my transmission blew under warranty because I did that fix to the grid
The way your wife looks at you and especially them boys is adorable... I grew up as an orphan and she is the momma I always dreamed of... So so happy to see the success of your family
Your brother is right about the cummins being easier to work on. But I'm also from Ohio and I know how hard it is to find a clean unmolested diesel truck. Personally I couldn't walk away from it because you know it's properly maintained and it's not some hillbilly race truck.
Mr Bill you will be a happy fella in that GMC with the duramax! I’ve had several of them. Yes you will have issues here and there but that’s going to be the same even in a dodge! I’m sure you don’t want to hear this but bucko is right when it comes to diesels. Maintenance is key not to mention you are a GM guy. You just would not look right riding around in a Dodge all the time lol.
Hey Bill! Now this video is just the way I like em. All about family!!! Good to see Miss Vicky’s smiling face. Such a nice lady. You got a lot of projects going on. Can’t wait to see the Falcon run with its new combo. Thanks for the up dates look forward to all the happenings! As always stay safe!! 😀😀❤️
I’m still a 5.9 Cummins guy but my buddies are 6.7 Cummins guys and one of the many tricks they use is they keep them running is they hardly ever turn the exhaust brake off. They use it 95% of the time. Keeps the veins free I guess.
I run a tree service and we've had many of the big three diesels and currently have fords 550 with dumpbox and a Chevy 6500 to pull the chipper when you're using them to tow heavy every day of their life maintenance and breakdowns are inevitable but the new Fords seem to have the most minor engine issues nothing crazy yet but Chevy has been the least expensive to run and maintain... Gave up on dodges because the cost and transmission issues and flexplate problems it had gave me more than i had time to deal with... Traded it in on the 6500 and never looked back, but it was by far the easiest to work on and problen solve on the chevy and ford are so crammed in there I'd have to think they take the cab off when they do any kind of major work are you be taking out everything just to get at minor shit half the time ... Basically what it comes down to is what you like and what you want ... They are all nice trucks and everything has its own drawback but having over a quarter million miles already I think buying that Chevy especially since you know where it came from is the smart move for yall... Where else are you going to find that nice of a Chevy where you know the history like you do on that one...
The new shop is looking sharp. One thing at a time, I get it, but you might want to put on your wish list to install a couple those little round exhaust trap doors at the bottom of the garage doors and snake an adjustable exhaust hose from whatever vehicle you are working on through those openings to keep the fumes outta the shop.
Idk bout nothing else except Those Chewy Chocolate Carmel Bars Vicki sent me were absolutely 🔥. Just glad the abscess tooth that swoll my face up last week had gotten better so I could enjoy them. I Love Mrs.Vicki as she were my own Mother. I'm sure appreciative of her kindness to me and my Daughter. I will Forever be in the Corner of SRC, OMG and G2G. 😎🇺🇲🤘
I told you guys in an earlier comment.....scrap the dodge for parts and keep the dirty max. I faced the same decision and have not regretted the change 285k miles later
I feel like the duramax would be a great addition to the fleet. It would also show what truck would be more user friendly and durable. Plus you deserve a nice going to town rig.
Great video and a hats off on the NEW ORLEANS Coverage. Tommy showed out under great pressure, Much respect to him. And to the Founder of SRC ,Billy has made a way for his family to be blessed in so many ways. You guys are living the Dream. And we love being a small part of it all. You guys could breakdown ANYWHERE . And one quick post on TH-cam would instantly bring locals rushing to your aid with parts and more !!!. You are our racing Family. And we love you very much.
Cool 😎. Just awesome having a vlog in the morning, great way to start the day ! It’s great having Tanner on the team . His skill and personality shows more and more ! 😊
@12:35 thru 13:05,, you said it Bill. Most of we 'elders' (I was born 1947) know very well what you're saying bud. I can't even remember how many times I lay in a gravel driveway in the dead of winter, in the snow pulling a starter, a trans and on one occasion doing an junk yard engine R&R from a sweet '62 Polara (wish I still had it) so's I could get to work on Monday . Yes,, you, Miss Vicki and the kids deserve that NEW shop and all the comfort it will provide in the upcoming years. Hoskinson Family - TO THE FRONT! 🙂
If it’s a work truck it’s Cummins. For us…Every brand has their issues and every brand is “expensive “ it’s a diesel so unfortunately it comes with the territory. So long as you keep up on maintenance ( which isn’t bad ) and you address the “issues/faults” of any of the brands, you’ll enjoy whatever mfg you pick for many many miles. With all that said that’s a damn good looking 3500 Bob has there✅ 🤜🏼🤛🏼
Great video you got one hell of a fleet of cars now I think Bob’s Duramax would be a nice addition. It’s a beautiful truck. I’d love to have it just one man’s opinion. Love y’all.
I would much rather own a duramax. But at my job, we use only powerstrokes and they get used and abused everyday hauling heavy equipment and idling for long periods of time, all while a bunch of idiots run the crap out of them and they seem to last a good while. But If it were me, I would still get a duramax lol. Keep up the good work brother. Love your videos!
I have watched you and Billy SRC since the beginning and in my opinion you absolutely deserve a new truck for yourself. And that GMC will last 10 times as long as that dodge. Keep up the great work in everything you guys do and God bless you and your family.
Bucko adds humor to already very entertaining videos, him moving Molly's car was a hoot. Bucko is correct though about the Duramax diesel and being a lifelong Ford guy and an owner of a 2015 F250 Super Duty Diesel 4x4 I can verify that the Cummins by far is the easiest to work on. Being diesels they all cost a bit to repair because you can put higher mileage numbers on them than any gas engine. Is what it is but the Cummins is definitely easier to work on, older design and not as fuel efficient but is a good diesel. Looking forward to seeing what the nova can do with new powerplant. Is it going to be on boost or the bottle? Go fast and be safe. God bless you and your family and friends.
My buddy had two duramax's eat themselves while pulling, one was turned up the other was stock in a roll back. Sold both after 22 grand on replacement engines and went with a cummins and never looked back. On another note i spit up coke through my nose when bucko got in the supra. Great editing!
Hey Mr. Bill & Miss Vicki!! Your whole family has been so blessed!! Thank you for all you do. You've been an inspiration to me and many others who are just trying to get by in the drag racing sport. Hope to see all of you at Clay City this year!! Much love and prayers from Hazard, KY
The gmc duramax is actually a good vehicle. A family member has one and uses it to pull a trim carpenter trailer daily and all we modified was the passenger inner fender well so we could maintain filters,lol. Also was lifted 3”-5” and a front leveling kit with backup rear airbags for when he pulled the car trailer or 30’ camper to get rid of the bucking. Never had an issue with suspension that’s for sure.
Ppl try to talk shiiiii all the time bout GM bcuz they just love them a dodge or ford n just don't like when ppl bring up the GM into the deisel world bcuz they know that When GM come in there that it's gonna be on top bcuz GM coming to play n to take over the game for sure but ppl just hated that shiiiii when GM smacks em in face wit that big boi DuraMax truck they knew it was trouble on there hand right then.
I was told by a wise man,, Before you can Ram it,& before you can Stroke it,it Has to be as hard as a Rock,lol!! Now that’s today’s Chevy truck,the heart beat of America!!!!!hahahahahaha, let some of the freedom fly!!!!
I like the blue Chevy 2 , at the wax place , I had one just like it , in high school in 1984 , had center line wheels and nasty sbc 👍👍👍 hope to see ya at Gainesville , sick week , 2 days away 😬😬😬
As far as pulling trucks go, I have had all three. Seemed like the ford had twice the power of the Chevy and the dodge. We tested that theory pulling a 450 dozer, not even close. I now have a dodge 2500, 22 model. Everything seems good on it but the transmission makes me a little nervous with how it acts. I would stay away from def fluid if at any way possible. That’s a bunch of garbage. Great video man, y’all rock!
I feel your pain coach..while i was inconsolable about burying my father and mr best friend in the world, my ex was having an affair with 2 different dudes...True Story
On the Cummins make sure the exhaust brake is always on either full on or automatic (both loaded or unloaded). This makes sure the vanes are used all the time and do not get build up and hang open or closed. For next time or everyone else. Geno's Garage (great place for Cummins parts not a sponsor) has a a new aftermarket actuator, stronger and no calibration needed, much cheaper than a new turbo if your is still good.
Who else thinks tannerite has saved the old man a whole bunch of grief and gray hairs? Old man even has a different level of swagger now. Hell bucko looks even happier and that never happens.
To the ladies who watch the channel, I know it wasn't just me who rewinded the video ten times to see Francois?🤣🤣 I got to sweatin and had to turn the heat down and put on extra deodorant.🥵🤣🤣 That was a fine piece of God's grace right there.🤣 Thinking about moving to France. Just don't tell Eddie my Fiancee. 💃🤦♀️🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 As always, another awesome video in the books. Thanks for giving me some laughs this morning Mr.Bill. I seriously admire each and everyone of you. ♥️
Loved my 2006 LBZ/Allison. Towed a 35’ camper all over the USA. If you buy it, delete it. Put a secondary fuel filter system, like the FASS. I added a 90 auxiliary tank that fed into the fuel filler neck. Best mod I did. Keep the filters changed and use good ones.
Bill I’ve been wondering if I was missing videos or been unsubscribed. Guess not! You guys have gotten a lot done. New lifts look awesome! As far as new diesels, they all have issues. I’ve owned three in last four years. Everyone one of them comes down to fuel or exhaust issues. Good thing is Buck-O seems to know how way around them so finding whichever one is easiest to work on is probably your best bet! Buck-O is correct, maint is absolutely the key cuz they aren’t getting any cheaper. Still kicking myself for downgrading to a half ton!
Great video Bill, can’t wait to see the dyno testing that LS I have been thinking on that for a while and for sure now will be able to make up my mind base on the results. God bless y’all 🙏🏼
Well it'll kinda give u an idea of wat the carb will do but it would be right bcuz the motor is stock wit just a can n gonna have an 950 carb on it which is way over kill for that setup but u will get an idea of it so wantd to make sure u knew that carb will be to much but bill will get it best as he can for motor. Be different if motor was built wit pistons / rods n bigger cam for it be different story then

WOW 😲, MR. OLD MAN IS OLD SCHOOL COOL!!! He improves the items that he borrows before he returns it back to the owner. Because "I am" old school too, I do similar kind gestures to show gratitude! Way to go Mr. Old Man for taking good care of your friends items BEFORE returning it back to your friend. God shines down on those who care about others! Anyway, thanks for the video 📸.
I’ve never watched a video a flinched so hard that I almost drop my phone, that is until I saw that tool box rock forward on the skid loader. That’s amazing it didn’t fall forward.
I would love to know how I was unsubbed? My guess? I do a lot of walking & getting up & down with boxes at work working for a large retail home improvement store that rhymes with Know's. I am usually the 1st one on vehicle repairs & maintenance but, not having a garage & this frigid weather in O.H. is killing me. I have to install new fuel, & return lines, front half shaft, serpentine belt tensioner, plus, I ordered all new brake components when I did my brakes last! I realized that 1 caliper is sticking, so I ordered everything new from lines to pads. I primed & painted the calipers & centers of the rotors. You are blessed do to all of your hard work & family ethic. I am stressing the freezing work I must do!
I work at a cdjr and there is a recall for the high pressure pump for the 6.7s and those are a ton of money. I would have to look at the bulletin but I believe they are for the 12 to 18. But I sure would keep that cummins if I was you guys. I love that 55 it's so nice and looks just like Shawn's 55
I think that recall is for 19-21 when they used CP4's, since have gone back to reliable Cp3s the earlier models had including 12-18. Dmax uses Cp4 as well, not so good.
Bill would be cool & make your new Garage look rustic looking if you don’t stained tongue and groove boards on the walls inside the garage. It being wood will also make it easier to hang things on on walls and it’ll cover up that spray foam insulation. Maybe your Amish buddy who framed up the garage can do you a fast but good deal on something like that. Just a suggestion. 👍🏼
Stupid autocorrect on this dang phone! I meant would look rustic looking if you “DONE” stained tongue and groove boards on the walls inside. I hate this autocorrect BS changing my words 😤
Had a hotshot company for several years. Cummins left me hanging multiple times. From the junk transmission that you can't bulletproof to the body control modules. Only issue I ever had out of my 5 Duramax rigs from 2014 to 2019 was with the DEF DPF. Absolute only issues. That 13 GMC has the most comfortable interior out of all of my trucks. Dodge was second. Duramax hands down in my opinion. Only thing you will hate on the GMC will be when the passenger side head light goes out. It is not a quick bulb change. However you guys could whip it out pretty quick. I suggest a FASS Fuel System, will help since you guys travel so much and you have no idea where your fuel will come from. Anyhow, my two cents. Love the channel and those classic muscle cars!
I kinda like that GMC dually, and I am a 6.7 Powerstroke owner. Preventative maintenance is always needed, but constant mechanical failures are another issue.
Good work as always Bill. You need to make you an editing room in the new shop with a big screen and all, better than doing this on your phone. Keep up the good work and try to give up more videos, maybe two a week instead of just one per week.
So glad to have this pop up on this early Monday morning! Sir, your videos are the one thing that I look forward to. God Bless and hope you’re feeling better! P.S. I’d love to see a t shirt with your brother Buckwheat on it. Maybe one of his famous mumbling sayings. Just a thought from the peanut gallery. Lol
My 2006 LBZ Duramax/Allison 6 speed transmission has 450,000 miles. Still has the original turbo. Had to change 1 cracked injector that failed under the 200,000 mile warranty. I have a leak on the drivers side rear axle that I need to fix. Bought the truck in 2008 with 15,000 miles on it and it's been a good truck. Allison transmission has had no issues.
Bill, love your videos and watching your family race. I had a ‘18 Silverado 2500HD with the L5P 6.6L Duramax and I agree with most that this engine w/the Allison trans is the best except for one small design flaw (that stranded me twice). The injector connectors fail - not the injectors themselves but the electrical pigtail connector that plugs into the injector. GM simply did not use heavy enough gauge wire or failed to insulate the connector from the heat in the engine bay? If you go on the Duramax forum online you’ll see. The inj connectors retail for about $109 and some guys carry them when traveling. The cylinders on the drivers side fail first I believe due to heat from the turbo pipe(s)? Two failed on me at about 140-145,000 miles. The engine will miss and go into reduced power mode - bad deal if you’re states away from home and towing. I went back to a 2500HD 6.6L gasoline truck for this reason. I believe GM started putting the L5P Duramax in trucks starting in 2014 & still use that power plant today but I haven’t heard if they have fixed the inj connector problem or not. If I was buying another diesel truck I would still choose Duramax but depending on the mileage would spend the $1000 or so to replace ALL 8 injector connectors so I would know I have at least 150,000 miles or so of reliability. FYI there is a fellow that posts on the Duramax forum that tows an RV all over the country with an ‘18 Duramax and has over 400,000 miles on his truck - but he carries spare injectors connectors and posts videos on how to change them on the side of the road.
I’m pretty sure that vintage GMC doesn’t have that issue,just the L5P does. My son hauls RV’s and has gotten so he can replace those connectors on the road as they go bad. The CP4 injection pump is probably that gen’s main issue.
Bucko needs to do some research on the Cummins! Mine is a 03 with 480,000 with a 6speed and only had injectors and starter and alternator replaced. They are great engines😁 God bless you guys and keep giving us some videos 🙏👍
I had a 2007 ram 2500 with the 6.7 Cummins, I loved it. I bought a 20153500 Duramax because I could not find a used ram to purchase with the desired options. I would have liked to stay with the Ram because of fuel mileage and durability. I never had issue with my duramax but just like the Cummins better. Bill you have to change the fuel filters on those motors more often than most people do. I did oil at 5K and Fuel at 10K or every other oil change. I never had a fuel related issue in 150K on my Cummins. Either truck will give you good service.
Glad you got Billy's dodge ram back up and running though... My second gen dodge gasser is down thanks to the freaking ground squirrel chewed on the wiring harness and i have not gotten around to be able to fix it especially with this weather and it sitting out in the middle of the driveway in the wind lol

🤣🤣🤣🤣
He said take the keys out!!!!🤣🤣🤣🤣
My buddy's duramax did the turbo thing like the dodge BUT a sensor that changes the pitch was bad so easy fix👍
Well he did leave the keys in the OBS the craque edd stole...@@jasonhastings5538
Almost 300k miles it's going to be something all the time. I would buy the Duramax and leave it stock.
That's a sharp truck. I don't think you could go wrong buying it.

I'm glad they sarted making the Kodiak again
just delete the grid heater and make sure to plug it in for the winter, problem solved

Tanners a beast Man.. definitely a good addition to the crew.. he don't play games 🏁👍🏼
You mean Steve. Scuba steve
He gets it done. Probably a huge help, as busy as they are. Ole boy work circles around Kenny with 1 hand behind his back probably. 😂
Like someone else mentioned, did you remember to replace the axle seals in the Malibu?
I dont play no games
I missed what happened to Kenny P.
I literally replayed the S-10 & Supra move 5 times due to laughing so hard!!💀🥴🤣🤣🤣🤣great interaction & edits!!
The way your wife looks at you and especially them boys is adorable... I grew up as an orphan and she is the momma I always dreamed of... So so happy to see the success of your family

Night shift here Bill, thanks for starting my work week, with another GREAT! video.
Appreciate all the hard work you put out for us👍👍👍😊
Mr Bill you will be a happy fella in that GMC with the duramax! I’ve had several of them. Yes you will have issues here and there but that’s going to be the same even in a dodge! I’m sure you don’t want to hear this but bucko is right when it comes to diesels. Maintenance is key not to mention you are a GM guy. You just would not look right riding around in a Dodge all the time lol.
I think it’s a certainty its sold after Bill gets a look once the detailing is done. Should have gotten A dmax from the start!
Bigger culvert - 4 foot diameter would be problem solved- bridge not pratical for long term solution
Hey Bill! Now this video is just the way I like em. All about family!!! Good to see Miss Vicky’s smiling face. Such a nice lady. You got a lot of projects going on.

Love what your doing man, keep it up. That duramax is the way to go. I've had 2 now and have put 300,000 on both.

Been here from the beginning and still loving your content buddy!
I have a 09 Duramax, I’m the OG owner and I have 365,000 miles. That truck has been amazing. Routine maintenance never let me down.
Forgot to say, it’s been fully deleted since 50k miles.
I told you guys in an earlier comment.....scrap the dodge for parts and keep the dirty max. I faced the same decision and have not regretted the change 285k miles later
Does anyone else think Paige and Buckwheat where a match of attitudes made in heaven hahahaha Glad your feeling better old man love all ya guys.
I feel like the duramax would be a great addition to the fleet. It would also show what truck would be more user friendly and durable. Plus you deserve a nice going to town rig.
Vickie gonna trade you in quick. You wasn’t even in the ground yet. I only thought my father in laws wife was like that. 😂😂
That’s how I felt too!!!

The gmc duramax is actually a good vehicle. A family member has one and uses it to pull a trim carpenter trailer daily and all we modified was the passenger inner fender well so we could maintain filters,lol. Also was lifted 3”-5” and a front leveling kit with backup rear airbags for when he pulled the car trailer or 30’ camper to get rid of the bucking. Never had an issue with suspension that’s for sure.
Ppl try to talk shiiiii all the time bout GM bcuz they just love them a dodge or ford n just don't like when ppl bring up the GM into the deisel world bcuz they know that When GM come in there that it's gonna be on top bcuz GM coming to play n to take over the game for sure but ppl just hated that shiiiii when GM smacks em in face wit that big boi DuraMax truck they knew it was trouble on there hand right then.
I was told by a wise man,,
Before you can Ram it,& before you can Stroke it,it
Has to be as hard as a Rock,lol!! Now that’s today’s Chevy truck,the heart beat of America!!!!!hahahahahaha, let some of the freedom fly!!!!
I like the blue Chevy 2 , at the wax place , I had one just like it , in high school in 1984 , had center line wheels and nasty sbc 👍👍👍 hope to see ya at Gainesville , sick week , 2 days away 😬😬😬
As far as pulling trucks go, I have had all three. Seemed like the ford had twice the power of the Chevy and the dodge. We tested that theory pulling a 450 dozer, not even close. I now have a dodge 2500, 22 model. Everything seems good on it but the transmission makes me a little nervous with how it acts. I would stay away from def fluid if at any way possible. That’s a bunch of garbage. Great video man, y’all rock!
This makes absolutely zero sense…. If it’s not even close why go with anything other than ford. The math ain’t mathin here bud.
If you don't keep bobs duramax, make it the next giveaway!
That's an incredible truck! I would do unspeakable things to have it!
That black ford 250 hi boy was insane nice!
I feel your pain coach..while i was inconsolable about burying my father and mr best friend in the world, my ex was having an affair with 2 different dudes...True Story
On the Cummins make sure the exhaust brake is always on either full on or automatic (both loaded or unloaded). This makes sure the vanes are used all the time and do not get build up and hang open or closed. For next time or everyone else. Geno's Garage (great place for Cummins parts not a sponsor) has a a new aftermarket actuator, stronger and no calibration needed, much cheaper than a new turbo if your is still good.
Who else thinks tannerite has saved the old man a whole bunch of grief and gray hairs? Old man even has a different level of swagger now. Hell bucko looks even happier and that never happens.
I have an 08 LMM duramax with 260k on it and it’s been so good to me. once they’re deleted they’re great trucks
To the ladies who watch the channel, I know it wasn't just me who rewinded the video ten times to see Francois?🤣🤣 I got to sweatin and had to turn the heat down and put on extra deodorant.🥵🤣🤣 That was a fine piece of God's grace right there.🤣 Thinking about moving to France. Just don't tell Eddie my Fiancee. 💃🤦♀️🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 As always, another awesome video in the books. Thanks for giving me some laughs this morning Mr.Bill. I seriously admire each and everyone of you. ♥️
Loved my 2006 LBZ/Allison. Towed a 35’ camper all over the USA. If you buy it, delete it. Put a secondary fuel filter system, like the FASS. I added a 90 auxiliary tank that fed into the fuel filler neck. Best mod I did. Keep the filters changed and use good ones.
Glad to see all again!!! Great video, keep em coming!! I'm a GM guy but those cummins trucks are hard to beat!!! Watch vicki and Francey Franco.😂😂😂
Bill I’ve been wondering if I was missing videos or been unsubscribed. Guess not! You guys have gotten a lot done. New lifts look awesome! As far as new diesels, they all have issues. I’ve owned three in last four years. Everyone one of them comes down to fuel or exhaust issues. Good thing is Buck-O seems to know how way around them so finding whichever one is easiest to work on is probably your best bet! Buck-O is correct, maint is absolutely the key cuz they aren’t getting any cheaper. Still kicking myself for downgrading to a half ton!
Great video Bill, can’t wait to see the dyno testing that LS I have been thinking on that for a while and for sure now will be able to make up my mind base on the results. God bless y’all 🙏🏼
Well it'll kinda give u an idea of wat the carb will do but it would be right bcuz the motor is stock wit just a can n gonna have an 950 carb on it which is way over kill for that setup but u will get an idea of it so wantd to make sure u knew that carb will be to much but bill will get it best as he can for motor. Be different if motor was built wit pistons / rods n bigger cam for it be different story then

Thank you Old man ! God bless you guys , Cheers!
WOW 😲, MR. OLD MAN IS OLD SCHOOL COOL!!! He improves the items that he borrows before he returns it back to the owner. Because "I am" old school too, I do similar kind gestures to show gratitude! Way to go Mr. Old Man for taking good care of your friends items BEFORE returning it back to your friend. God shines down on those who care about others! Anyway, thanks for the video 📸.
I’ve never watched a video a flinched so hard that I almost drop my phone, that is until I saw that tool box rock forward on the skid loader. That’s amazing it didn’t fall forward.
Duramax all the way. I've had the Cummins and have a Duramax currently. The Duramax serves my needs much better.
The best way to start the week just before work ....keep up the great work Bill
Buck Wheat is a genius ... this is the absolute best TV not on TV. Old Man, you are a gifted storyteller.
I would love to know how I was unsubbed? My guess? I do a lot of walking & getting up & down with boxes at work working for a large retail home improvement store that rhymes with Know's. I am usually the 1st one on vehicle repairs & maintenance but, not having a garage & this frigid weather in O.H. is killing me. I have to install new fuel, & return lines, front half shaft, serpentine belt tensioner, plus, I ordered all new brake components when I did my brakes last! I realized that 1 caliper is sticking, so I ordered everything new from lines to pads. I primed & painted the calipers & centers of the rotors. You are blessed do to all of your hard work & family ethic. I am stressing the freezing work I must do!
I work at a cdjr and there is a recall for the high pressure pump for the 6.7s and those are a ton of money. I would have to look at the bulletin but I believe they are for the 12 to 18. But I sure would keep that cummins if I was you guys. I love that 55 it's so nice and looks just like Shawn's 55
I think that recall is for 19-21 when they used CP4's, since have gone back to reliable Cp3s the earlier models had including 12-18. Dmax uses Cp4 as well, not so good.
Great videos. I can't wait to see the builds to come. Thanks so much for the great content. It just keeps getting better and better. Diggin' it 👍
Bill would be cool & make your new Garage look rustic looking if you don’t stained tongue and groove boards on the walls inside the garage. It being wood will also make it easier to hang things on on walls and it’ll cover up that spray foam insulation. Maybe your Amish buddy who framed up the garage can do you a fast but good deal on something like that. Just a suggestion. 👍🏼
Stupid autocorrect on this dang phone! I meant would look rustic looking if you “DONE” stained tongue and groove boards on the walls inside. I hate this autocorrect BS changing my words 😤
Yes the wood is very nice
Bill the supra / South Park is hilarious!
For a back up tow vehicle, my vote would be for the gmt800 platform with the 8.1 gas with the Allison transmission.
Young steve looks likes like a good hire so far
Had a hotshot company for several years. Cummins left me hanging multiple times. From the junk transmission that you can't bulletproof to the body control modules. Only issue I ever had out of my 5 Duramax rigs from 2014 to 2019 was with the DEF DPF. Absolute only issues. That 13 GMC has the most comfortable interior out of all of my trucks. Dodge was second. Duramax hands down in my opinion. Only thing you will hate on the GMC will be when the passenger side head light goes out. It is not a quick bulb change. However you guys could whip it out pretty quick. I suggest a FASS Fuel System, will help since you guys travel so much and you have no idea where your fuel will come from. Anyhow, my two cents. Love the channel and those classic muscle cars!
Mr "sliding in Jackie's dm's" is worried about a French guy🤣🤣🤣
I kinda like that GMC dually, and I am a 6.7 Powerstroke owner. Preventative maintenance is always needed, but constant mechanical failures are another issue.
6:00 omg I just pee'd myself a little laughing at the south park insert 😂😂😂
Good work as always Bill. You need to make you an editing room in the new shop with a big screen and all, better than doing this on your phone. Keep up the good work and try to give up more videos, maybe two a week instead of just one per week.
That will be interesting to see the 5.3 results from efi to carb. Look forward to seeing that
Another great video Bill.Glad you are feeling better
Lmfaoo the South Park clip 🤣
My DuraMAX has 421k miles. Only oil, filters, changed all the soft rubber fuel lines. Added a lift pump as an upgrade but No other work has been done.
Ram trucks have their fair share of problems but just hard to beat that Cummins, couldn't run fast enough to give me a Duramax or Powerstroke
So glad to have this pop up on this early Monday morning! Sir, your videos are the one thing that I look forward to. God Bless and hope you’re feeling better!
P.S.
I’d love to see a t shirt with your brother Buckwheat on it. Maybe one of his famous mumbling sayings. Just a thought from the peanut gallery. Lol
My 2006 LBZ Duramax/Allison 6 speed transmission has 450,000 miles. Still has the original turbo. Had to change 1 cracked injector that failed under the 200,000 mile warranty. I have a leak on the drivers side rear axle that I need to fix. Bought the truck in 2008 with 15,000 miles on it and it's been a good truck. Allison transmission has had no issues.
HAHA back when I was a kid, my father and uncle used to call my brother and I Frick & Frack.
Keep up the awesome content!
Thanks again Bill for the awsome content keep them coming
Glad you have garage door openers now we have them in our shop and man it’s a blessing because the doors would be way too heavy to lift up by hand
Usually garage doors have Springs that make them very easy to lift no matter how heavy they are
Thanks for everything.
It's a duramax .. I have a 07 duramax with 430k miles on it an still going strong . Original turbo too !
I love the color of that beautiful truck. Great video yet again Old man. Hope you guys stay warm as it's-24 below zero here in NW Montana.
The bob and old man duo is 👌🏻 love when you two combine forces
Good to see you feeling better great content and keep em coming 👍👍👍
Bill, love your videos and watching your family race. I had a ‘18 Silverado 2500HD with the L5P 6.6L Duramax and I agree with most that this engine w/the Allison trans is the best except for one small design flaw (that stranded me twice). The injector connectors fail - not the injectors themselves but the electrical pigtail connector that plugs into the injector. GM simply did not use heavy enough gauge wire or failed to insulate the connector from the heat in the engine bay? If you go on the Duramax forum online you’ll see. The inj connectors retail for about $109 and some guys carry them when traveling. The cylinders on the drivers side fail first I believe due to heat from the turbo pipe(s)? Two failed on me at about 140-145,000 miles. The engine will miss and go into reduced power mode - bad deal if you’re states away from home and towing.
I went back to a 2500HD 6.6L gasoline truck for this reason. I believe GM started putting the L5P Duramax in trucks starting in 2014 & still use that power plant today but I haven’t heard if they have fixed the inj connector problem or not.
If I was buying another diesel truck I would still choose Duramax but depending on the mileage would spend the $1000 or so to replace ALL 8 injector connectors so I would know I have at least 150,000 miles or so of reliability. FYI there is a fellow that posts on the Duramax forum that tows an RV all over the country with an ‘18 Duramax and has over 400,000 miles on his truck - but he carries spare injectors connectors and posts videos on how to change them on the side of the road.
I’m pretty sure that vintage GMC doesn’t have that issue,just the L5P does. My son hauls RV’s and has gotten so he can replace those connectors on the road as they go bad. The CP4 injection pump is probably that gen’s main issue.
Bucko needs to do some research on the Cummins! Mine is a 03 with 480,000 with a 6speed and only had injectors and starter and alternator replaced. They are great engines😁
God bless you guys and keep giving us some videos 🙏👍
Hey Bill,,if you need a bridge look for old flatbed semi trailer, you can find them for scrap. I found one with missinng floor & put concrete on it
You got to run Lucus fuel treatment in cold months! Duramax is the best diesel pickup you can ever own!!
GMC needs a Cummins swap man that’s a good looking truck
OMG I needed a really good laugh today Bill you did it that South Park video killed me still laughing.
I had a 2007 ram 2500 with the 6.7 Cummins, I loved it. I bought a 20153500 Duramax because I could not find a used ram to purchase with the desired options. I would have liked to stay with the Ram because of fuel mileage and durability. I never had issue with my duramax but just like the Cummins better. Bill you have to change the fuel filters on those motors more often than most people do. I did oil at 5K and Fuel at 10K or every other oil change. I never had a fuel related issue in 150K on my Cummins. Either truck will give you good service.
Hey Bill,remember the axle seals on the Malibu are leaking.
Glad you got Billy's dodge ram back up and running though... My second gen dodge gasser is down thanks to the freaking ground squirrel chewed on the wiring harness and i have not gotten around to be able to fix it especially with this weather and it sitting out in the middle of the driveway in the wind lol
