Sounds like a you problem

@@gt3jacobynot when the check hits

@@xXxjoemanxXx I get to work at 3:30am😹

The compressor wheel fit perfect, the turbine hole had some surface rust which caused it to hit but I ported it with a circular sandpaper kit you get from harbor freight that attaches to a drill, fairly easy rebuild and worth every bit of the $270-$300 the kit cost.

Lovely I love the way your truck sounds and would like the same. Do you have links? Or which wheels you got?

prosourcediesel.com/shop/brand/spoologic/spoologic-gt3788va-turbo-rebuild-kit-with-billet-turbine-shaft-gasket-for-04-5-05-lly-duramax/ is the kit I used and it was very easy to rebuild. I did the rebuild when I did the new head gaskets and studs from the tracktech rebuild kit they sell on that site.

You just snip the smaller wire and put another connector on it is what I did, truck starts like a new duramax. I do recommend checking out the flywheel when replacing the starter, mine had a few teeth a little worn so a new billet flywheel is in the near future.

210 is normal. What conditions are you driving in?

@@LBZDreamer only freeway, is been very hot lately for summer too. any suggestion on injector 4 harness problems? i just got it today

@@MalikWong Do you have a LLY? or LBZ? LLYs are known for running hotter due to a smaller radiator, restriction at the turbos inlet which raises EGTs due to a lack of air, small radiator fan. Water pumps are very common at the 200k+ Market to start to give. Thermostats not opening at 185F

@@LBZDreamer should I get thermostat that opens at 185? And a mishimoto radiator?

I've replaced the water pump with sinister diesel welded pump, and now it runs just shy of 205, I want to say average is 190-205 now, but my temp sensor may be factory so it's probably the next thing I replace. Sorry, truck has been parked for the past few weeks due needing tires but just put a leveling kit and 35s on this weekend, kryptonite upper control arms should be in Wednesday so I'll update with a new video soon. Gotta take care of the family first, you know lol

It's more of a 6.0 powerstroke turbo sound

Dose it sound alot louder then stock with the windows up.

Yea, you definitely do not want to leave your truck straight piped, it's ear piercing even with the windows up, in cab drone is more of placement of a resonator, closer to the front is where you eliminate most of the sound

I'm going to add one right after the downpipe but just haven't had the time

It's a turbo rebuild kit that prosourcediesel.com sells from Spoologic, comes with 11 blade billet compressor wheel and 10 blade turbine wheel, I did the Tracktech Headstuds and Gasket Kit from prosourcediesel.com and figured if I'm rebuilding heads, might as well rebuild the snail

It's not so much for the sound that I wanted, just the extra help for pulling heavy weight. It's tolerable after a few resonators but I know KC turbos is ear piercing no matter how quiet you make it

@@locomotives4105 I’ve got a ford to pull all my big loads just drive duramax just for daily driver

The 5 speed on my truck maxes out at around 93 mph, anything above that will send it into limp mode and cuts OD off so its stuck in 4th, very irritating when you need to squeeze in somewhere and everyone around me is going 85 plus, gotta keep an eye on the mph at all times, I always have my OBD reader to clear it but it's still a pain

@@locomotives4105 I stand corrected lol I actually paid attention today on the highway and im at 1900ish at 75mph so ya i feel bad for you 5 speed guys

People get confused because it's actually a 6 speed in the LB7/LLYs, but for some odd reason, GM put a 5 speed valve body and TCM instead of the 6 speed setup.

@@locomotives4105 Thats crazy, i remember reading something about that a while back but never looked into it, good to know. Kinda like how they made an 06 "LLY" that was really just a detuned LBZ.

They are geared the same 1-5 aren't they?

I think the set is well worth it, I bought the tracktech top end rebuild kit from prosourcediesel.com along with the 10 blade turbo rebuild kit and it definitely woke this truck up. I know the whole kit is pricey (around $900) but its the best bang for your buck compared to ARP

@locomotives4105 thanks for the info, eventually imma do a full rebuild on my truck, but at 416k I'm expecting my engine to go out first even though she rumbles like new.

I had a head gasket and freeze plug failure so I had no choice but to rebuild everything, relapping the valves and the upgraded turbo really made this thing sound deeper, has a nice heart thumping idle now. Had to do a few chores around the house to keep the wife happy but hey, the truck sounds great haha.

Yeah I have the 06 lbz and I love the transmission but I feel the same way about it holding on lol I pushed past the 500-550 people say to stop on a stock trans and I did do the transgo jr shift kit for it to help but it's been 35-40k miles of running around 100rwhp than recommended and I can feel this is the last summer the trans will hold through lol.

I'd like to switch to someone that has cleaner tunes but all of kory willis tunes smoke on 4 and 5, I run mine on 3, not as much smoke, but there's no way around it when going through PPEI.

@@locomotives4105 That makes sense to me. That’s actually what I want is the option to go into race mode and maybe a small amount of smoke. I know it’s not good for the motor but then again nothing about racing is good for any motor in any sport. I just don’t like that Calibrated Power set mine up and through numerous test and adjustments it just didn’t have a hard hit from 0-40 like my old ass 7.3 with a dirty tune. I also ran a bully dog for 15 years and I actually thought it worked great. It did blow a little smoke but it wasn’t that bad and the engine lasted forever. The only reason I went with Calibrated Power is the way they spoke about tuning on KZbin was convincing and thought I had to go that route to get a clean tune but it did not even come close to the pull that the Bully Dog had. I will eventually get it right.

I heard motor ops had some decent tunes so i might check them out

Right, they do it all the time here, never gets old 😅

I wondered the same thing and then I found the details of each tune from the PPEI website, explaining what tune is used for what level. I copied it here: Power Level 2: Heavy Tow +30/60 RWHP This power level is designed for towing anything over 15,000 lbs. Do not use any power level higher than power level 2 for towing loads that exceed 15k lbs as this will surpass the stock engine and stock transmissions threshold of efficiency which increases the chance of mechanical failure and decreases overall reliability of your vehicle.

@@locomotives4105 that makes sense actually lol

Yes, I did a 2 link with watts link setup.

Thanks!

It's been updated since, but yea it rode pretty smooth, especially on the highway. I'll post a video of how it looks now.

Yea, I just got it cleaned up a bit and road legal, I'll post a video later on tonight

I welded in a floor pan that I had tucked in the garage and put in the carpet since the video, thanks for the compliments. It's been neglected of attention since I been bagging my dodge and daily driving and working on a 05 crew cab LLY, too many projects 😆

“Dual 5" Down Pipe Back Exhaust Kit 15.5-17 Chevy/GMC 2500/3500 6.6L Turbo Diesel” is what I ordered from eBay, they don’t have them anymore but the 15-18 Duramax exhaust will fit on these trucks and it was the only ones I seen that was true 5 inch out past the cab

Sinister diesel sells them

Yea it was a fee car haha, built it for an 84 suburban on 37s but sold the burban

I don’t know how many times I’ve taped them up or secured them, the streets here are crap so it just falls down after a week. I’m currently in the process of taking a compressor off my 97 Dodge Ram bagged truck and installing it on here and gonna seal up the bumper to use as an air tank

@@locomotives4105 right on, I have mine tucked in between my passenger side battery and the coolant overflow tank. I live on a class 6 road that's more of a trail that a rd and it's been holding up so far. That's just how it was when I bought the truck so I kept it like that.

I would upgrade to the lbz radiator or a good aftermarket one, I’ve pulled a few heavy trailers and found the transmission ran a little warm around 205. But that was before the tune and the fluid/filter change, plus I think the LLYs have the smaller radiator from factory compared to the LB7 and LBZ

@@locomotives4105 ok I think with the lly the trans is a common problem

Yea, I can’t wait to upgrade to the Duramaxtuner 5 to 6 speed conversion kit. That’s one of the main reasons people want the 2006 Duramax’s

@@locomotives4105 yeah

What's your email address?

I'll get to you asap

can you contact me about it i have a lot of questions lol
