Now this guy knows how to make a video. He didn’t try to act cool by cussing the entire time, he stayed with the subject at hand only and didn’t discuss a bunch of unrelated stupid crap. Really good video. I like it when people get to the point and get it done explaining along the way. Huge thumbs up

[@darkirondiesel]

Thank you!

[@evanshireman5644]

I’m pretty sure no adult cusses to act cool

[@brucesheehe6305]

That is a real puzzle. You are a great technician. I have a LBZ classic. You might just go for the whole ball of wax once you are in there.

[@darkirondiesel]

Yup haha

[@levimccuistion7816]

Just wanted to say if no one else has. The LMM Duramax EGR cooler coolant hose is different. The delete kit for the LMM has a "U" shaped coolant hose to feed back into the heater core. Otherwise, great video and everything is spot on. Thank you!

[@Brap_Lord]

This is an AMAZING video! High quality camera, very informational. Doesn’t show every single little detail which is nice because it explains what to take out and what order to take things out, and you don’t have to try to skip through someone spending 5 minutes to take off a bolt- which is always super annoying. That’s a thumbs up for me!

Thanks man! That’s what I was going for!

[@jeffscott3160]

Good how to video. When I did mine I removed the body cab bolts and the core support bolt from the passenger side and jacked up the cab a couple inches. Gave me a lot more room to get those hard to reach bolts out and the down pipe pretty much falls out with the extra room!

Pretty good vid. Some recommend replacing up pipe bolts. The temp cycling weakens them. Supposedly the ARP are rated higher and less likely to snap. Yep use copper antiseize. Buy the kit of them or 12 needed ARP 672-1003(5pk), 12mm 12pt head M10x1.5 x 30mm flanged 180,000 Tensile 8740 chromoly OR the SS ARP 772-1003(5pk)

[@tracypittman7292]

I just did the delete and everything went well. Only question I have is which plug goes to the coolant and which goes to the A/C? They appear to be the same type of plug only difference is one set of wires is shorted than the other. Thanks

Dexcool is know to cause head gasket failure on gasoline engines. Do you continue to use in a Duramax or do you switch to green antifreeze?

It's much better now...should be fine. I've been using Peak Global Lifetime in a Gold jug for a few years. It's been used in Dealerships too...so it's all good. Just change it every 5yrs maybe depending on driving and conditions. Use a tester to check it

I know this video is a few years old, but the routing of the coolant line for an LMM is a little different than the LBZ here. It comes with a U hose that attaches to the line right next to it, instead of coming down across the engine.

Kind of unrelated, but can you still get an egr and dpf delete on EZ lynk? I thought they were forced to stop producing that

Ya sinister is a very good company, the only downside is they are expensive. If you have a cracked up pipe in the bellow then yes you have to replace it, you can’t repair it.

[@kevinh3634]

Should I tune the truck first before I delete the egr? What would happen if i do the delete without the tune?

[@austinmcintosh1719]

Wondering the same thing, dont want to go into limp mode.

[@f.stopperrmedia1606]

Deleting the truck without a tune will not change too much, especially if using the blocker plate option. The only reason most choose to tune the truck after the EGR removal is to remove the "P0401: Insufficient Flow" code you will ultimately get. If you're doing the full thing, including higher flow 3" downpipe and LB7 style up pipe, then a tune would be recommended.

[@f.stopperrmedia1606]

And also, you should only ever tune the truck after the modifications are installed. The software tuning relies on the physical changes you've made to extract the most out of the vehicle. Any time components that change air or fuel are replaced/modified a tune is necessary after to optimize the motor to run cleanly and properly.

[@hunterfagan7607]

Highly recommend the new up pipe, I did the blocker plate and my up pipe cracked in less than a month.

[@darkirondiesel]

Yes I recommend it 100%

Do you recommend an PCV reroute? Curious why you didn’t do it when you had the piping out.

I'm not super convinced that it's gonna destroy the turbocharger with that little bit of oil. I mean we've got tractors and combines that are ticking up a lot of hours with the system and sometimes they just have a tube going to the intake without even a filter
