Custom engine bay revealed! | BANKS BUILT Ep 33

[@timschiechl2233]

Lol. As a single dad and Emergency Room nurse, I have just enough money to do a part of the projects. Which is to buy a new cut off wheel for air tool.

[@timschiechl2233]

I love not just the innovation and the quality, but how it all works together. Just like when they build engines. Unlike those who say "look at all the black smoke, guess our af ratio is ok" banks researches, plans, builds and refines to perfection. Not like idiots whose test cells aren't properly cooled or don't have enough cool air flow.

[@bankspower]

We love hearing this, thank you for watching. We wouldn't do it any other way.

[@RinSenna]

Wow! Sean is a sheetmetal god!

[@dielauwen]

The Navy had a classification called Metal Man in wwII . Maybe his grandpa taught him.

[@bankspower]

Exactly, that's why we wanted him on this project.

[@ColeSpolaric]

Holier than mother Theresa?! That's borderline sacrilege! 😉

[@bankspower]

😂😂

[@hvydutytow]

I love this series and this channel in particular. I’m entertained and feel smarter for watching. They say true intelligence is being able to explain something very complicated or very simply, which, in my opinion makes Mr. Banks a genius. Keep on trucking my friends.

[@bankspower]

Ruben, we love reading comments like this. Thank you for sticking with team Banks!

2:15 the wrench jumped into his hand

[@justinwhitaker3537]

Awesome job Empire!

[@bankspower]

Yup, Sean and the guys do amazing work!

[@cassiuspuckett8789]

Shoot, what a crazy build!! But it does seem to be coming together. Good luck getting it ready for Sema!!!!

[@mattmeuser3469]

when will we get to see killing a duramax again?

[@bankspower]

Both the Super Turbo (Monster Truck Engine) and the L5P for “Killing a Duramax” on hold for an extended duration while we conduct testing for our military program in Dyno Cell # 1 & #2. The moment these projects are completed, we’ll roll both the Super Turbo and the Killing a Duramax back into the dyno cells.

[@Backwoodbuilds]

Hopefully this isn't too late but you should have a pneumatic cylinder so you can open the bed with a push of a button. Because you already have air! It could be what actuates your fancy hinge

[@turbolife5912]

I only dream of having access to the workshops and equipment your doing the fabrication let alone the Banks engines and engineering love your work keep up the great content William

[@bankspower]

You can make it happen, never give up on the relentless pursuit of excessive awesomeness!

[@turbolife5912]

@@bankspower my dream is to power my 2000 Land Rover Discovery with a 5LP Duramax through a ZF 8speed. Original its aTD5 turbo with a ZF 4speed+ over drive. I'll keep working on that love your work. Will

[@jdapaetz]

I'm gonna need to know what kind of safety glasses those bad boys are; I'll take 10!

[@josephmatuszak3855]

OK - I have rewatched the engine bay sheetmetal shot repeatedly. This truck is already "damn" and it's evolution is exciting to see.

[@bankspower]

Right? The guys at empire fab are amazing.

[@lbrant8911]

This series is setting the bar 👌

[@SteveP-vm1uc]

I think it was drawn up IN A BAR!!

[@yorkchris10]

The designer at Morris Garages loved geometry. Once he settled on the octagon, he used it everywhere there might have been a circle. The pull starter knob was octagonal. Deforming the fender makes mechanical sense.

[@darryllspalding5211]

wizardry

[@JayRussellDuramax]

This sheet metal work is an absolute masterpiece! I cannot wait to see this thing finished! Awesome work!

[@bankspower]

Thanks a bunch!

[@patbullard9276]

A lot of brain work and hand work going on for this project but sheer enjoyment for me. Keep up the good work team.

[@bankspower]

Thanks, will do!

[@campingwithhomer7371]

The build team, the truck, the fab work, incredible shop, the professionalism and most of all Mr. Banks has everything I look for in a video! Can hardly wait to see Lockjaw at SEMA in it finished glory!

[@bankspower]

Wow, thank you! We love hearing from our fans.

[@dielauwen]

I though it was supposed to be a Diesel powered Rat Rod. Now you are doing way too much to make it . So some ugly old junk attached to new Junk. What classification is it?

[@bankspower]

This is hot rodding through and through.

[@janeblogs324]

Those serial killer glasses are killing me

[@grendelum]

boy, wouldn’t it be funny in a tragic way if that supercharger came without the stripes or in t’other direction?

[@bankspower]

We've spoken with Dustin Whipple. He dare not change the design.

[@davidstephens1092]

@@bankspower I'm not sure that " dare " is a good word choice. It sounds like a challenge to me. I know the 6 bar hinge for the bed will look spectacular, but surely it would have been easier to hinge the upper part of the bed and the tailgate as an assembly from the bottom of the tailgate and use some linear actuators to open and close it.

[@TheREALWeekendDIYer]

Erik, where can I get some of those awesome safety glasses??

[@bankspower]

They are Pyramex SC210C Monitor Safety Glasses www.fullsource.com/pyramex-sc210c/

[@pimpstick2]

Reveled or revealed? Cuz both would work lol.

[@bankspower]

Thank you, we fixed it.

[@bigredracer7848]

👍's up Mr POWER

[@ChaseSmith03]

Two weeks with no new episode? I neeeed my fix! #ep34

New episode goes live tomorrow (Friday) afternoon.

In a classical Greek sense? Agreed.

[@crusiethmaximuss]

Wow... It looks almost ready enough to test drive

[@bankspower]

Almost! We're getting close.

[@anthonymwelch]

I'm confused, what does lifting only half of the bed like that accomplish?

[@socketuspuppetus1216]

The car is a show case of technology hence SEMA. There is stuff under the bed that they want to show to the public.

[@bankspower]

Exactly, spoken like a true prodigy.

[@twintibbsdiesel93]

Too Bad Gale Banks doesn't do anything anymore except tell everyone how he is building this awesome Supercharged Duramax but he hasn't done anything except tell people what he wants and everyone else does the work . So typical of Owners ! I will never do this to people I work with. I work right along with anyone I ask to do work WITH me not for me and I have Leukemia so age is not a issue because I'm weak and sick from taking Sprycel chemo pills but I still do all my work myself. I'd like to see Gale do some actual work and less BS talking ...

[@twinkievsdingdong]

I work for Gale, and I can tell you in all honesty, he is in the office ALL THE TIME! He has so many different things going on. I understand your perspective but Gale is unique. He has a desire to work, to be apart of everything. Erik, Matt, And Jay have a lot of things going on as well. If you haven’t kept up with the series, this is all off work hours. Everyone working on this (and so many other projects including military) is working on LokJaw after hours and are passionate about not only this project, but many, and I mean MANY others. Gale makes the final decision on everything and its not only his knowledge but his absolute passions and unstoppable desires to drive all these project. From my experience, Gale is very much down to earth, charming, lives to learn, and loves to do and follow through. Lokjaw may look like its priority, but there are a tone of other projects happening here at Banks. If you really knew, you would understand how incredible Gale, and his dedicated team work. Hands on, strategic planning, data analysis, and life, happens all at ounce. Its a hard balance but I personally respect Gale, and everyone at his company knowing it from the inside out. Just saying. Hope you come by sometime and check it out if you want too. :)

[@twintibbsdiesel93]

@@twinkievsdingdong I was just busting Gale Banks chops lol to see if he would reply lol I know. He works hard otherwise he wouldn't have the company he has. I love all his innovative products and know he is a good old school guy. Tell him to make a 6.7 intake elbow that fits with dual cp3s Please !!!

[@curvs4me]

BED WEIGHT SAVINGS!!! I'm gonna say it again. The current path is going to make the bed upper section way too heavy. Using laminates (carbon fiber and kevlar) with a soric core material would do everything you want without the massive weight penalty. A composite floor with oak laminate and metal strips screwed into it will kill two birds. You've got your wood finish with a perfectly clean underside. A 1 inch composite floor will hold a party on top.

[@40calDeathPunch]

This truck is going to be sick when finished. Not even the membrane will be able to handle the insanity! Got to get you some of that Diesel therapy. Duramax that is.
