LBZ Duramax intercooler REMOVAL and CLEAN OUT

[@fivenine1057]

There's something about the victory red that looks so clean.

[@ToXSicK1340]

Dang.... That was some Carnage that came out of that Intercooler! Guess I need to go look for the Part 1 of this story?? (Hope there is one?) Thanks for sharing Bro, good info.

[@RESURRECTEDDIESEL]

Phil G. Yeah it was pretty gnarly for sure thanks for watching!! First time I got to experience that

[@mehdimir260]

I’m about to do an intercooler upgrade on my LBZ. All the other videos show the guys having to drain the radiator and remove the intercooler and radiator as an assembly. So you didn’t have to drain any coolant or anything with the radiator the way you did it?

[@hungrynapps]

what are your advice on a oil catch can for the rocker covers or pcv .. to prevent oil blow back into turbo intake.. i plan to install.one in my van .. plus diesel in my country is poor quality..so i am gonna try a inline fuel filter as a backup to help my primary diesel filter

[@Repomam2000]

Nice work man! Keep up the good work. Can’t wait for the next video!

[@coleharvey2678]

A tip: you can watch movies at instaflixxer. Me and my gf have been using them for watching a lot of movies during the lockdown.

[@calebalfred7061]

@Cole Harvey yup, have been using InstaFlixxer for since november myself =)

[@MalikWong]

is intercooler a radiator ?

[@tizocrc4864]

Nice Atc I just got my Duramax finish you have red one I did my all blue and 7" lift

[@RESURRECTEDDIESEL]

Hell yeah that’s awesome man and maybe closer to 10”!!!

[@guillermodelatorre8]

Did you get a stock turbo or did you upgrade

[@RESURRECTEDDIESEL]

It was upgrade a Danville 65mm

Doug funnie all grown up and into duramaxs.

Robert Salas who me lmao😂😂😂

[@richardbolger4900]

What are your thoughts on washing out the IC if it has oil in it as well? I also shredded my compressor wheel and will need to go after the parts that hopefully got stuck in the IC, but also want to clean out any oil that's in there too.

[@RESURRECTEDDIESEL]

I don't see it being an issue as long as you clean it out very well with whatever you clean it will if its just a little oil its not a big deal but if its a lot I would rinse it!

[@richardbolger4900]

@@RESURRECTEDDIESEL thanks! I rinsed it with gasoline so it would dry out/evaporate after. There was probably 1/2qt of oil in the IC.

[@RESURRECTEDDIESEL]

Yeah usually from the pcv if you delete it shouldn’t have any more issues with it!

[@rhunter3406]

Check #4 cam bearing. Have had many high mile trucks come i recently with turbos

[@RESURRECTEDDIESEL]

Just for my knowledge what would that have to do with the turbo issue? And this truck only has 90k on it and that was a Danville charger 🤭

[@rhunter3406]

DURAMAX_DIESEL turbo gets oil supply from said bearing. If it is spun (sometimes with no other symptoms other than a bad turbo) will keep shitting turbos. Due to low oil supply. With the charger off, look down the supply hole and you will see the journal. If you dont see the port in the cam bearing it might be spun causing no oil flow.

[@RESURRECTEDDIESEL]

Ahhh that’s very good to know I do remember reading that was the supply but I never thought about looking down to see if it’s spun thank you for the knowledge!! Love to learn these things! We are getting oil pressure there it’s been running good and it’s pretty low miles but it does get beat on!!

[@markh.2899]

Help! I bought a 2006-2010 Mishimoto Intercooler for my 2007 (12/06) classic Duramax 2500 LBZ, and the mechanic is telling me it's hitting the "cat"-style mooring brackets and can't figure out how to make it fit. At this point, I don't know what to tell him -do you have any suggestions? Thanks!

[@RESURRECTEDDIESEL]

im not a hundred percent on whats hitting we have installed a few and had no issues

[@markh.2899]

Update: I had the Duramax towed to a diesel mechanic, and he installed the intercooler and a Mishimoto radiator the next day, so problem solved!

[@markh.2899]

@@RESURRECTEDDIESEL I wound up having the truck towed to a really good diesel mechanic , and he installed the Mishimoto intercooler and radiator the next day - all fixed and runs great, thanks!

[@LouieD-nl9ih]

Do you Think the intercooler caught all the pieces of the turbo?

[@RESURRECTEDDIESEL]

Louie D 1911 ummm I think it caught any big piece that would cause any sort of damage what ever made it though if anything would have already been through the motor and the motor still runs like a top

[@LouieD-nl9ih]

That’s good man it would have sucked if it didn’t

[@BassickS77]

Good man

[@RESURRECTEDDIESEL]

Yamaha Rider thank you!

[@hungrynapps]

i would replace the intercooler .. jus to be safe

[@RESURRECTEDDIESEL]

hungrynapps well since it’s a 90* into the intercooler any metal would’ve hit that before going in and if not we vacuum checked it and put it back in! No leaks yet trucks been good for a few months now!!!

[@shanek6582]

If I break open the ac lines when I remove everything to do my head gasket job, can I just bolt it back together when I’m done and have it refilled with Freon (I know it’s not Freon anymore I just can’t think of the name) or will it be contaminated with atmospheric moisture and have to be replaced?

[@RESURRECTEDDIESEL]

I guess depends how long it’s apart but if you cap all the lines with plastic after you pull it apart you should be good to throw it back together and bring it to a place and get it filler!

[@prestonsutherland9753]

Trust me take that part to an expert. They have to vacuum the system back down. Don't fuck with it.

[@XTaSee1993]

What's the point of this video you can't even see how to remove the stuff. Not as simple as a few bolts that's why i came here. (Edit) fast responses and helpful

[@RESURRECTEDDIESEL]

Isaac s well I showed you every single bolt to remove then you pull it straight up hard to do as a one man show dont have help all the time but once it’s unbolted you lift it up!

[@XTaSee1993]

Juatfrustrated, Got a big plastic hose looks like itsrunningfrom the bottom of the intercooler to the top where thethrottle body. Looks like it may spin can't find anything on its a 2015 dura

[@RESURRECTEDDIESEL]

Isaac s well every year has changed basically from 2007 and up just about in a little way but if you look at it and there is a small like metal clip where the two pieces of plastic go together you need to pop that off it’s shaped like a c so it’ll come off then you should be able to just separate the two pieces and get it off I think I had to remove the mounting bolt from it accessible from the pass side wheel well then remove the tube completely and then pull the intercooler

[@XTaSee1993]

Alreadypulled thec clamps off, just got the boot. Thanks for the help

[@RESURRECTEDDIESEL]

No problem any more issues just holler

[@hungrynapps]

wow what a sucky design .. ac condenser blocking intercooler which is blocking radiator.. lol . looks like a sandwich

[@RESURRECTEDDIESEL]

Hahahaha yes it’s not the easiest to get too but this is how most of the trucks are setup and it’s still not as bad as a newer power stroke haha

[@hungrynapps]

@@RESURRECTEDDIESEL my pickup the mazda b series .. they have a radiator n the ac condenser is smaller n the intercooler is located lower in front bumper ..so when u drive forward . air can hit all of them without any obstructions

[@RESURRECTEDDIESEL]

Yeah that’s a good setup a turbo’d b series? That’s different! But the size of the radiators and intercoolers on these are crazy! They are as big as the front clip of the truck

[@hungrynapps]

@@RESURRECTEDDIESEL yea i am not from USA.. i am in the Caribbean..we import Japanese vehicles .. they are smaller vehicles than u guys own ..sucks for me..cause i am tall ..lol

[@RESURRECTEDDIESEL]

No kidding that’s crazy I hate how other places always get the turbo cars and fun stuff haha
