Everything you need to know about our supercharged Duramax

After 46 episodes of Banks Built and the truck's debut in the AMSOIL booth at the SEMA Show in 2021, some thought we'd given up on LokJaw. Well, surprise surprise, it's back and better than ever! Our supercharged Duramax-powered 1966 Chevy C20 is about to finally take to the streets. "I've never had an engine that responds like this," says Gale Banks with a smile from ear to ear. "High-compression big block Chevy with a blower. This guy is the champion."

The supercharged diesel sounds so good, I wish we had more audio of it

[@TurboVisBits]

I knowww that blower sound at idle gives me the bumps.

[@carter.coleman]

It pitches my tent

[@bobqzzi]

That truck is an incredible achievement. Just an insane amount of time, money and hard work went into conceiving, designing and building it. Well done

[@jamesf2656]

Can't wait for a proper shake-down. I want to see it all! No point in having huge capabilities without using it...

[@Reijack]

I so VERY want to see this thing do some passes at the dragstrip, wanna see what it's actually capable of

[@erichill5208]

Very cool pickup. Lots of great high tech parts and quality fab work to get it to where it is. Would love to see some tire smoking burn outs with it. Maybe even a wheel dyno pull to see what it has to the ground

[@DreamInVader360]

This is the most incredible and well thought-out build I have ever seen. .the Banks team and everybody involved rocked it!!!! When is the giveaway for this truck? :)

[@jmstew642]

G.O.A.T. Gale Banks, he should have a Masters degree in engine building... Wait is there such a thing, there should be... stay tuned...

[@Robert-cd2ht]

Awesome build and you guys are so lucky to work with Gale, what a cool guy!

[@shiningstaer]

This is why banks is incredible to work with. I bought an exhaust recently and in the ordering process I spoke with Tina in the phone and mentioned that we needed to see lockjaw run. And she said she sent over a message. One week later this video came out. They actually received a message and delivered. I’m going to be banks from here on out. No doubt.

[@ccbproductsmulti-bendaustr3200]

What a team the God father of diesels Gale, grandson Erik and the talented Banks team 👌👌👌

[@Lusty_85]

I still call it Bucky over Lockjaw 😂😅 cause it was a dolla

[@bufordarchery]

When is the general public supercharged 6.6 conversion option available? I have a 17 L5P and a supercharged version would be glorious to drive down these country roads.

[@clearskies8098]

Bank’s really knows how to build them and he just keep’s on improving with his Old age 😅. Great truck, cant wait to see the rest when it’s done!!!!

[@frankr6702]

That thing is amazing If I took every genera of automotive & trucking magazine from the magazine rack of my youth, stacked them, added a supercomputer, waved a magic wand; and WHAM: Lockjaw Awesome

[@miketee2444]

Great to see since I had convinced myself SEMA was nothing now except store bought 24s and neon underglow these days .

[@KPMACHINE1]

Wow that is a build you can only do if you win the lotto, or your Gale. Awesome job guys!

[@stellingbanjodude]

Granny panties! Hahahahaha

[@PhillyDee215]

Only if a manufacturer could build a truck like this.....and those wheels are awesome

[@RedmistAU]

If you have a spare 1.5mil i am certain you can have your own.

[@PhillyDee215]

@@RedmistAU right....😉

[@stinkypea2866]

One of the coolest trucks I’ve ever seen. Great job guys, you can definitely tell you put blood sweat and tears into that thing!

[@nothingtoseaheardammit]

Any other content available on the Humvee hybridization project and whether it will be available for us with civilian H1's? (Although I'm loathe to add anymore weight to my rig)

[@bankspower]

It's strictly a defense project. Not for civilian applications.

[@craigtuck1741]

i loved Gales response when he reved the engine

[@Sir.VicsMasher]

Very nice, how much power are you planning on making since Whipple doesn't recommend their new 3.8L for applications under 1,200whp.

[@mwhitelaw8569]

That video y'all did when it was first lit off was hilarious man. Gale definitely needs to do a massive burnout. I saw that look in his eyes What a killer showpiece

[@leslienordman8718]

wow! I am glad you brought it back and are going to complete it. Thanks!

[@ThePorscheguy369]

Such a bad ass truck! Love it.

[@lorddoobsworth144]

We ever gonna see a dyno graph of this engine? I'm curious what the power/torque band looks like.

[@funone8716]

MAN I miss the weekly Banks tech vids!

[@The_sinner_Jim_Whitney]

I want that motor in a front-mid arrangement, manual trans, like a sports car, but modern. Say, maybe, a Colorado? Or dare I say, a CTS/CT5? I know the engineering would be a handful, but I absolutely LOVE how quick it revs, it deserves to be in a chassis that can handle it.

[@chonkychookie6949]

Id love to see some specs for that supercharged engine compared to how its turbocharged counterparts compare on the dyno. Is it better? torque vs horsepower? Man that thing sounds mad.

[@wcovey25]

only banks takes the time to fully model a project car in cad to the tee, this is why banks is the best

[@FC_MKUltra]

Mr. banks I'm 30 years old my name is chase pounders iv been a diesel tech for the last 8 years , I just recently heard your name for the very first time. Iv been watching your channel and looking into what you've done in the engineering world for the last 30 years and wow just absolutely mind blowing your career has been. I'm a Chrysler technician currently and after much due diligence iv bought a 2014 2wd jeep grand Cherokee limited with the 3.0l Eco diesel. I bought your 3" monster exhaust for it and I'm very much looking forward to building this vehicle using banks parts ill be purchasing the derringer and a few extra sensors very soon. I wish I would have known about you sooner. But don't worry ima going to do my part to make you a household name on the east coast I promise. iv been in my shop for the last month talking to everyone about your videos and what you've done in your career .

[@jayjorgensen4999]

Sick amount of planning and great execution.

[@bankspower]

Couldn't agree more!

[@darrylhewitt6360]

Nice to see it back. Thought you were done with it, hadn't seen anything for awhile

[@tgclan6820]

Hi gale love your content. Im from sweden so i love the american diesels. But i think you Will be amazed by the european bmw diesels they got a 3.0 liter quad turbo inline 6 with 400hp and 664 ft-lbs and it is amazing

[@Vgk36]

any video links?

Glad to see another video on LokJaw, a very thorough and impressive build, cant wait to see Gale cruising it down the street!

[@davideckford2415]

I thought you’d given up on this project but good to know we will get to see the finished truck burning some rubber 🤪🤪

[@scotthultin7769]

22👍's up Mr power thank you for sharing Please make a Duramax or any diesel run on distilled water when you split it into atoms to make hydrogen so they don't have to buy diesel and will clean up the environment one vehicle at a time

[@ryanburbridge]

Umm bro do your homework. And leave the climate cult. They do not honestly care about the environment they truly only want control and depopulation.

[@davidmolaison2933]

Who makes a stand alone electronics for swapping a Duramax into another chassis. HINT,HINT,HINT!!!!!

[@Redmist.65]

Glad to finally see this project get finished and used. Cant wait.

[@justjames9775]

Came to learn about the engine. Didn't know I was going to be watching a glorified infomercial for the suppliers.

[@bankspower]

It's a recap video of the entire series of all to upgrades and modifications we made to Lokjaw, we couldn't make it without mentioning our suppliers.

Amazing engineering. Will you be making the engine’s available as a crate engine ?

[@DreamInVader360]

I would buy one. This is a great idea

[@owenh5769]

check the website, it's there

[@markroadking]

SUPER AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So that'd how you secure Gov contracts...good show, good job, defending champeen Banks.

[@CompoundKodiak4x4]

I would love to see you guys did into the data on compound turbos. Seems industry standard is an s475 over stock. Drive pressures, M.A.D. is there a benefit to intercooling both stages?

[@shotgunnar2586]

I dare Gale to put a “Built not bought” sticker in the window

[@wwolfe07]

Love it!! Wish one or both of my cars looked as good. Would love to see a lowrider version of this truck. As always good job. Keep up the good work!!

What’s the mpg?

[@anthonyjulson8840]

When it comes to smiles per gallon, the answer is all of them!

[@NaveenKumar-oj7xh]

Two years ago when this series began you literally said this truck will be able to do everything a truck should do. Despite all the engineering you built just another useless, slammed, rubber band tire "truck".

[@bigboyblue56]

3 years later. Still no derringer for the 3.0 Duramax. And you still advertise it on your website. What a joke.

[@Modnificent]

Cant wait for the day my 06 colorado triple turbo 6.6 duramax swap build looks this clean!

[@Dubs0607]

Can you please just release the tuner for 2019+ rams….it’s been coming soon for 2 years like come on.

[@terryburgettburgett965]

Got a question do you think that you could build a Duramax that could go 400 mph in a streamliner

[@Whateverpoopiepants]

It’s the most thought out project truck I’ve seen. You did a great job.

[@numberseven1358]

Hopefully it never has to drive over a speed bump. Or potholes. Or anything really.

[@jakethesnake121394]

Is this just a showroom piece or does it actually have some ass behind it? Never seen a real video of them using it besides putting around?

[@sinisternoah3604]

The way the bed lifts up to show off that craftsmanship is absolutely wild

Sweet giveaway truck! You guys are the best! 😉

Just for git’s and shiggles I hope there is some chassis Dyno time in the future!!

Do I put my build on my business expense, or should I take a 100k loan?

[@highpointsights]

Do the motors you get have the pins on the crankshaft or do you guys cut keyways????

[@magn8ic]

It's back!

[@jamesweston3679]

one other thing you forgot to include is the fact it looks like shit. That happened the moment you ghetto'd it with slamming it and putting that lo pro shit under it.

What happened to killing that duramax when doe the crank come out of that beast

whats the deisel landspeed record at these days? that would be an interesting project Gale.

would deff love me a supercharger intake for a duramax.
