Adding Propane Injection and Nitrous Boost to a Chevy Duramax Diesel - Classic Trucks! S5, E3

Anyone remember the old fishing shows that were on TNN early in the morning on Sundays? Bill Dance Outdoors, Fishing with Roland Martin, Lunder's Outdoors, and coverages of the B.A.S.S. championships? I would sit every Saturday and Sunday morning and watch them until noon when they would switch programming.

Welcome to trucks today we’re going to show you how to send your Allison transmission straight into limp mode lol

[@BucksSuperStereoWorld]

So, when I was a teenager I went to the Diesel Institute of America and our year end test was to pull a city bus into the shop, tear the engine out of the back of it, rebuild it and install it again. If it ran properly, we passed, and we did. One of our special field trips was to go to the port and inspect a container ship's 9 cylinder Wartsila diesel. They handed me a single piston ring and it was 4 feet in diameter and as thick as your hand all the way around. You can imagine how much power and torque that engine makes to move a 100,000+ ton ship. Plus, it had a turbocharger that was about as big as my Peterbilt attached to it.

[@01cumminsho26]

So old school. Propane has been dead in the diesel world for like 10 years lol. 426hp at the wheels is so easy to make even on an old LB7 without injecting anything into it.

[@jrwhite9915]

all these shows were nothing but 30 minute commercials for aftermarket parts

[@FlipTheTables]

Yeah but still enjoyable if you go on power Nations website they say as much. That said I found them to be pretty honest. They often didn't mention the price but other than that Not a lot of eBay Chinese turbo kits being pushed but brands like ARP which are expensive but still have a good reputation throughout the industry.

[@democratshateamerica8196]

Looks like a man in his mid 50s “customized” this truck and never puts it to work and washes it at least 3 times a week.

[@tt7hvn]

Because trucks are now status symbols and not a representation of people that do work.

[@BucksSuperStereoWorld]

@falchulk This is true. I am 36 and I drive multiple trucks every day, although I work with mine because I deliver oilfield equipment to gas pads here in the northeast. Alot of people just buy a truck to drive every day, but in reality they're just like people with cars. People modify their cars, but they don't work out of them, and alot of people regard buying a truck as just having another vehicle and they never haul anything more than the occasional furniture piece for a friend. My manager is from Canada and both him and his wife drive trucks and you know she's never hauled anything in hers, that's just what they prefer to drive instead of a car. My point is that you don't have to work with your truck to own one, it's a lifestyle choice like started above. Some people just like to sit up high over the road when they drive. I've owned many trucks in my lifetime so far. I own 6 of them right now including a 2014 Peterbilt 367, a 2014 Ford F-750, a 2011 Ford F-550, a 2017 Ford F-550, a 2014 Dodge Ram 3500HD, and a 2015 Chevrolet 2500HD, ALL diesel trucks for hauling, and I also own 5 gooseneck and fifth wheel trailers for these trucks. I daily the Ram.

[@andruivey3937]

I was wondering if this was new content or if it came out in the early 2000s like it seems when I was a kid lol

[@TexasGTO]

I understand it's old. I watched these every weekend morning when they came out lol but still they had the ability and the knowledge it would handle it. At least 75 shot would have made way more sense.

[@christopherbernhardt]

@@TexasGTO late response, but I feel like they didn't want to give people the idea to do something that may blow their engine. 75 isn't a lot, but it can be enough to start knock, especially when you're considering whatever else they got from the propane.

[@Itsjustgaming859]

@@TexasGTO gotta take into account that those year duramaxs weren’t the best in terms of strength, I mean those were some of the first development duramaxs when they were still working out all the kinks, plus you can tell it’s old do to the fact I doubt people are doing propane injection anymore these days. Most people are twin and triple turboing their diesels now a days and they actually make triple turbo kits for the duramaxs now, plus most set ups have nitrous just for turbo spool and not so much for down track runs. They are running 4 times the amount of HP now compared to then as well, I mean last duramax I saw on the dyno was well over 2,000HP and like 3,000 flbs of torque. It was also a built truck too though were as this one was probably stock internals but even so people are running 700HP in duramaxs easily with stock internals which is still pretty crazy in my opinion.

[@roudyroy1]

392 ft.lbs of torque. now production trucks are pushing over 1000 stock.... we've come a long way

[@deerlakediver5554]

Several propane suppliers have declined to fill my tank because the expiration stamp on the tank was not visible without climbing under the truck. They are also required to do a visual inspection before filling. We ended up relocating the tank into the bed. Also lowers the risk of tank damage or puncture on gravel roads.

When these engines first came out, Gale Banks was spinning them to 7000rpm and making ludicrous power. I'm sure all that research went somewhere. It isn't like a 12v Cummins tractor engine that you can literally bolt 200hp on, these are more dependent on the tune.

[@OIR339]

It is a deadly device. It kills more than guns and alcohol combined. A little beyond the subject but that's my stance on cars. Shit i got hit by a truck about two weeks ago walking. Some older guy that likes to turn into parking lots at a 45 degree angle driving 20 miles an hour because he couldnt accept getting there 3 seconds later, all he had to was slow down and make a proper turn.
