Fixing and Modifying my Straight Piped LML Duramax

A deleted LML Duramax is the PERFECT GM Diesel Truck! Mine has a few issues that need to be fixed, plus I also have some upgrades to install. I truly believe this is the BEST looking GM truck ever made! (okay MAYBE squarebody takes it...)

I can't imagine seeing that truck out on the street and thinking "I bet that guy has two 911 turbos in his garage" lmaoo

[@matt13ross]

Good, I like being different lol. 911 guys usually don't work on their cars either.

[@MauricioRodriguez-bw9zz]

The only thing bad with the truck are those wheels 😅 but we’ll is ur not mine

[@sphiwe.maphosa]

i remember googling your truck and yep it’s literally the most reliable truck from GM. awesome mods done on todays video and the carbon looking pieces has been my favorite part 🙌🏾

[@matt13ross]

Thank you!

[@briansynatzske9127]

Kryptonite Front end for 2015 Silverado 2500HD. Have it on mine and it makes the truck drive like it’s brand new.

[@DIRTYMAXX_MATT]

I second this. Also do the intake and put a lift pump and cp3 swap asap

[@buildingsalvage]

I live for the comments on your wheels tbh. I also hate them but at this point the comments are so consistent it’s almost worth having to see them. 😂 Great video as usual! If I ever get a newer diesel truck with some creature comforts I’ll probably consider and LMM or LML truck

[@matt13ross]

The wheel comments make me laugh, so they're okay lol.

[@trebm3]

He’s a great sport about it. You know when Matt gets in the truck he audibly says “Let’s Ride!”

[@brandonward9048]

I have a 2015 Silverado 3500 w/ 142K I swapped out to my front end parts for Kryptonite, I haven't had any issues, and mine has the BDS 6" lift. Love the duramax content!

[@florider_hd]

You better not hit Superman with that truck 😂

[@Jaws677]

Not sure if anyone has ever bought this up before, but dude those wheels!!

[@matt13ross]

NO NEVERRR!!! lol

[@lorieandpatrickdavies7483]

LOL, I was hoping the first mod was taking those horrible wheels off, and taking them to the dump. Then, buying and installing a nice, normal set of wheels.

[@buildingsalvage]

😂

[@mattburford2035]

Yeah those wheels have to go 😔

[@bmc5108]

Way too wide.

[@Notorious6.6]

For front end parts i definitely recommend kryptonite

[@dkosawa]

Great looking truck (minus the wheels/tires) 😂 Look forward to your next video!

Thanks 👍

I’m not watching any more vids on this truck until the wheels are swapped. 😂

Not swapping them till this video gets 5000 likes lol

Yes

Your b-roll footage is getting better and better, dude. Keep it up!

You can never go wrong with Kryptonite or Cognito or your front suspension

[@JosephRoark-d5c]

Love the wheels on the Duramax man it is the best ever made

[@thejues3919]

I’d say upgrade to kryptonite front end parts , they are one of the best upgrades u can do

[@adammiller5323]

[@t.l.robinson2162]

With your front end parts Kryptonite is the way to go.

[@pabreptiles3969]

i personally love the wheels please don’t get rid of them lmao and if you do lmk i’ll buy them

[@matt13ross]

They're going back on soon!

[@nxlpvsp]

Is the truck deleted? Just wondering since I want to get my 19’ deleted and tuned or should I save some money and just get an exhaust and tune.

[@dailydriven991]

Wheelie cool episode. Did the rims come with a vape pen and a fake gold chain? Lol kidding aside I do love the truck. Such a great design on the front end. I also like the way the cf works with the brown inside. I’m considering cf to replace the aluminum trim pieces in my 991 with pb and black interior.

[@matt13ross]

Love peanut butter colors!

[@P-J-W-777]

Carbon much improved but what would have looked even better would have been the forged carbon fiber look as it’s not so race boy. What about them wheels lol?

[@brandindaniels1877]

What’s the radio mod? I see both you have used is the smaller one super slow or worth it? Also you need a cold air intake and throttle booster you you’ll wake the truck up a little more with that 5”

[@matt13ross]

The bigger radio is better for sure.

[@minnesotatrucks6114]

When’s the Denali cluster happening to really tie everything together

Hate the wood trim but feel same way about the cf. Find some black to match

[@matt13ross]

I haven't found any other kind for sale.

Not really a fan of the fake wood or carbon. But at least the carbon is more discreet. So Better overall :D

[@matt13ross]

Agreed!

GM always seems to be the master of difficult battery locations. C7 isn't exactly fun either, especially with the lack of damn handles.

Giant freaking heavy batteries with no handles, SMH!

@@matt13ross it's a finger strength test on the Corvettes. And whoopsie daisy, we made a tiny ground wire out of an al dente spaghetti noodle and you just broke it! Have fun getting a soldering setup into this tiny space. This wire also matches the fasteners we made out of compressed breadcrumbs and aluminum shavings. Hope you have a tap & die set.

How’s the brake light camera holding up? Any leaks? Does the brake light bulb fit behind the camera? Thinking about doing something similar to mine.

I do agree it’s a beast of a truck but like some other those wheels are how can I say an acquired taste. 🙈

Wheels are fine. Maybe a bigger tire later on.

That's the plan

[@hectorfeliciano6570]

Big fan of your videos

[@matt13ross]

Thank you!

[@virtualburton]

Love the channel Matt, but re: those wheels, my grandma used to say "if you don't have anything, nice to say, don't say anything at all" so... 🥹 re: AGM batteries, don't ever let them go below 10 1/2 V. Each time they do they get damaged and they don't come back. If you have a parasitic draw, keep your eye on it really closely. Ask me how I know 🤣

[@matt13ross]

I don't think I have a draw. At least I hope not!

[@anthonyelliott7792]

In some states it is illegal to have fog lights on when “not foggy”. Sounds goofy but I know someone who got pulled over by a cop for it once!

link for the white bow ties?

[@Lasvegasmedic]

I'm not trying to just be a hater in the comments section.... However, the stick on trim. Bruh you're killing me. Only because you pay such great attention to OEM + style detail. This is so far from the normal I'm worried about you! I'm usually an advocate of your's, but c'mon man.

[@matt13ross]

Like I said in the video, I wanted to try it. Easy and cheap. I HATE the stock wood stuff. That's the only reason I'm trying this.

[@Ecrizzy]

where did you get the radio from?

[@StraightLineCycles]

When those batteries fail, go get Motorcraft from a dealership, they last forever and at a dealership is actually cheaper than orileys.

[@matt13ross]

Cheaper than 120 a piece?

Clean truck, dude

[@matt13ross]

Thank you!

That truck looks ridiculous with those wheels.Some nice mat black off road wheels would look great

[@swift__]

So it’s your truck , pick whatever trim you like. But I would’ve just wrapped the factory trim if you can’t find billet ones or brushed aluminum or something like that. Wheels are awesome ✅ ( same ones complaining about the wheels you paid for to put on the truck you bought are prolly the same type of people who wouldn’t hold the door open for an elderly person while walking in or out of a store.. 🖕🏻 losers ) that should piss them off 🤣🤣

[@matt13ross]

I tried wrapping parts before and I sucked at it lol. Would be cool if someone made this in actual CF or aluminum or something.
