HOW TO DELETE EGR LLY LBZ LMM DURAMAX

[@zackk695]

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

[@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!

New diesel guy here, you diesel mechanics earn your pay! Thanks!

[@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!

[@darkirondiesel]

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

After watching this video I went out and started examining the situation a little further. Then I disconnected the EGR valve. Runs good so far.

[@623braineater]

Watching duramax videos makes me very appreciative of my Cummins. Straight 6 just makes everything easier.

[@darkirondiesel]

100%

[@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!

[@CroftFamilyFarm]

Very excellent job making this video! Thank you! If you are replacing a turbo you should defiantly do a EGR delete when you have is apart...

[@georgesautogarage2588]

This video was amazing; been in the learning process of learning my duramaxes and this was very straightforward with amazing technical details and insight, time for some slight weight reduction

[@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

[@Itsa_Mea]

Thanks for solving some of the mystery of the D-max. I got a customer that's thinking about "going off-road" so this should help.

[@darkirondiesel]

Anytime buddy

[@RBoysMedia]

Do you know an off road tuner lol

[@mrmotofy]

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)

[@captainr.8882]

MANY of the Diesels you see burning along the highway,,,,, are the result of pulling the turbo heat shield and shit canning it. ALWAYS put the turbo heat shield back on, ALWAYS! GREAT VIDEO, Found exactly what I needed to learn on this one!

[@organized0chaos]

Always tighten bolt slightly then they'll break loose with your best chance of them not breaking.

Sick video !! Just bought a LBZ

[@bobevans6590]

Great videos, ! Last week a Ford off the frame. This week Chevy dilemma! You say what a struggle it is, but don’t show us you fussing and cussing! I think you should show us that part also. 😱 Are you going to make one with the finish on the install of exhaust? And the tunes with the test drive. I am not bashing you at all ! Just like to watch the in depth work you are doing! Awesome job! Thank you for the videos!

Great video man. Detailed and extremely helpful thankyou

[@makeithappen5348]

Dude this video is perfect. Just awesome thanks man.

[@67falconman]

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.

[@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

[@reactionsb1]

The heat shield can be bent and removed, then just bend it back once you get it in position for reinstall

[@darinbarfield8738]

Watched several different videos on options for an EGR delete, and each one look like a crap load of work, with several problematic steps... With different varieties. I’d like to do it one day, but When & what way I want to go? And having the energy & patience- as well as time to get it completed successfully, not to mention the need for a tuner, aftermarket exhaust, etc... I may leave mine alone for a bit longer.

[@Dead-Goldstar]

Great video very detailed thanks for doing it. 👍 Can you tell me what device I can use to put a basic tune afterwards on it not looking at increasing HP just to eliminate the engine light being on and where did you get your EGR delete kit from.

[@gjeTV]

Can the up pipes on the passenger side be accessed easier by removing the passenger front fender?

I have a 2008 drum ax diesel I'm doing a full delete can I leave the stock muffler and the stock catalytic converter on . I bought the bypass tube for the Particular filter. Do I have to worry about them stobing up or should I just replace them. Love your videos.

[@walleyewilly8085]

Great Info, Well done fella!

[@MrJoelJ1]

If you delete a LMM, *YOU MUST REMOVE THE TRANS DIPSTICK TUBE*. You could be one of the lucky few that don't have to, but I fought removing the down pipe for hours upon hours before I simply cut off my trans tube. Once it was out, the down pipe literally almost fell out. Save yourself the time and headaches and cussing and just do it. My replacement tube will be here in the morning. ;)

[@billb8862]

Absolutely awesome video can’t thank you enough!

[@eddycaswell2051]

Thank you . This was so helpful

[@josholsen6985]

Canadian companies might be the only ones with the ability to keep these older dirtymaxes on the road.

[@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.

[@MarinaraTrackDays]

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.

[@MarinaraTrackDays]

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.

[@gkogel]

Since you mentioned that customer wanted to save money by capping & reusing the stock passenger up pipe, is it fair to assume that's why you capped & reinstalled that factory cooler pipe too?

[@everydayfixes416]

What brand of kit is your go to? Looking at doing the delete, but interested in replacing the up and down pipes as you suggested.

[@Dead-Goldstar]

Awesome video thanks for doing it after you did the EGRand down pipe did you have to use a tune on it and if so what do you suggest as a in expensive tuner to buy for a 2006 GMC Sierra 2500HD Duramax 6.6 LLY.

[@alcarol2480]

Great video on kit, but isn't there programming involved too software delete EGR?

[@t.l.robinson2162]

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?

[@mrmotofy]

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

[@Wretched2JZ]

Hey man. So I got my stuff off. Lol man 😂🙈 I tried the whole stubby 12mm and pry bar thing… dude how in the world can you make that work. I tried prying over the battery and no leverage and awkward. And being one man it’s even crazier. So I want to see you do a video and show you doing that step man! That would be gold. But I got mine off pretty darn easy. Got both off same way. From bottom through wheel well with a regular old socket wrench. I used one that was 3/8” swivel head with a standard short 2.5” extension and 6point 12mm. Y bridge and up pipe is next! Been doing it in steps and making a video.

I used a 3/8 wrench that the head swiveled. Literally doing mine in the yard right now.

[@barrypot1865]

Great video! One question, how many miles on this truck before the cooler was removed? It's crazy that much soot and crap can build up in the ports.

[@jesshipke1214]

Mine had 180k on when the turbo went out. There was probably 1/4" of buildup in the intake.
