[@TruckMaster]

Should I buy a new diesel? I’m seriously thinking about it

[@dylanniles3965]

I mean I thought there were two or three or four to choose from already 😂. But seriously no, you partly influenced me to get my lbz and it works everyday. Love it

[@socal_c10]

You don’t need to. You have a great truck called an LMM. Keep the LBZ and make it into a full on show truck

[@moeg584]

Nope fix it drive it fix it drive it fix it!

[@TheRedrider05]

No! Fix it! Drive it! Repeat!

[@jP-lu5kl]

Have you seen the new chevys???🤢🤢🤢🤮🤮🤮 Honda Ridgeline looks better

[@captainr.8882]

Brother, the fact you SHOW THE BAD WITH THE GOOD in your videos is what makes you a real Pro! Your knowledge is indeed impressive!

[@TruckMaster]

Thanks brother

[@JWMontoya]

Had the same issue on my LLY awhile back! Love and hate having these older trucks...

[@davidparizek6741]

Old Mechanic once told me either you make the payments or make the repairs, your choice 🤷‍♂️

[@TruckMaster]

That’s some great advice and very true

[@tmspete7354]

Repairs are usually less frequent and average less $$$.

[@andrewsampica5273]

or both

[@korn111685]

Stock trans, stock lines.. ok. Built trans, stock lines on borrowed time. Glad you got it fixed, engine detail video coming soon guys.. 😆

[@davestewart9146]

It goes to show that no matter what truck brand you have they can all break at some point, at least you were close to home, great video my fellow Veteran 👍😁

[@matthewdooley6485]

Bro you're about as real as it gets, there are not many KZbinrs who will show the bad side of things when things go wrong. I love how you take the time to explain this & then show how you repair them. Also please tell me those ugly headlights are going to get changed out soon, even the stock ones look better than the ones you have on now.

[@zhongxina5595]

Sussy balls

[@Busby513]

Been watching your channel for a very long time now. What has always set your content a part from others is the fact that you show the good with the bad and describe the impacts of those highs and lows a similar to what we all go through. Just hearing you start to mull over the idea of getting into a newer truck is super relatable. At some point we all cross the decision threshold of how much longer do we invest time and money into an older vehicle for dependability purposes.

[@robertpabst7501]

Exact same thing happened to mine, and like you I was only 10 minutes from the house replaced with the same kit you just installed. Can't believe the stock ones lasted that long on your truck.

[@glenwhatley7366]

It's good that you actually listened to your wife. She was spot on for what you needed at the time and kept you from blowing up the transmission you put all that work into.

[@davesuddreth3749]

I am glad you posted it so we can learn from the stuff you get into

[@ds4guy173]

You should upgrade the trans cooler too! Upgraded lines and big cooler will keep that trans happy

[@lbeliel4128]

There’s a reason they decommission aircraft after so many landings, take offs and pressurization cycles. All mechanical things wear and eventually need replacing. Be kind to the old girl, she’s been good to you!

[@TruckMaster]

Thanks

[@jerh4541]

I’ve seen lots of those lines blow off did 2 last week. I was cringing when you where running it with no fluid. Glad it all worked out great videos Thanks.

[@danielbeitel9724]

I had the same problem. After the 3rd time with gm OEM parts I got it fixed right. Took it to a diesel shop, who said gm has a huge problem with that. He put on fittings and new hoses. Good for 3500psi now.

[@theheavydmaxman7447]

Installed Fleece in mine when I blew my old lines. Best lines ever

[@BoomtownOutdoors]

dang, that is pretty cool. That show is about an hour and 10 minutes north of me! Nice!!!

[@Gasolinegarage]

This is a great video this sounds just like my wife and I ! I told you you have too much pride to call a tow truck this happened to us two weeks ago with the boat thank God for insurance

[@benson3926]

I’ve been watching for a while but finally subscribed today lol. Idk why I didn’t earlier

[@renepage3239]

You are not alone My transmission lines blew also. No warning no tell signs just blew. Done away with oem lines. All good now. 2002. Lb7. 320000 kilometres

[@jackfrost2623]

Just bought a gas Ford truck and for some reason this last couple weeks diesel trucks have been really sparking my interest

[@shadowface741]

Brother I've been watching you channel for a long ass time and that head liner gets me every time I see it. You ever plan on fixing it? Lol

[@asianpersuasion1807]

She brought a funnel. Already thinking ahead for ya

[@williampeterson3240]

Happy life happy wife call a tow truck lol

[@benwhiting6174]

I got a lb7 with stock lines and now I’m going to change out before I have to make that call…super rad video

[@nathanreay7032]

Much respect and appreciation for you bud 😎😎😎

[@TruckMaster]

I really appreciate it

[@nmsaletnik8992]

lol you never have issues in this truck but when you do it's never something small. Just keep it

[@ricardosaenz2823]

I had to replace the lines on my 07.5 LMM and it was a pain in the rear, but loving it

[@scootertrash647]

That's exactly why before I really start building my truck I'm replacing all that little stuff. Tranny lines,power steering lines. U joints. Hoses Mounts etc.

[@scootertrash647]

And don't sell it and go new.

[@amillar3302]

That happened to sassy when the builders started it. It shot fluid across the shop. So new lines and and new trans cooler later she's running good

[@5seven590]

Don’t buy new. Just keep up the maintenance.Sometimes we just overlook the simplest things. Even new trucks have their flaws.

[@TruckMaster]

Good point

[@scoterplow50]

As usual good stuff earl 👍

[@NaztyNate]

Thanks for the easy install video! I'll be doing this on my LBZ suburban very soon!

[@TruckMaster]

Definitely

[@skipgrant9254]

I'm glad to see you use the best oil that is made along with there grease, its in all my vehicles love it and it saved me a lot of money in the long run, I use Amsoil in my chain saws and mowers tractors you name it it's in everything I have. Been using for 30 yrs now with no problems and with one yr oil changes or 25.000 miles and life time in the trans and diffs.

[@MrDbro94]

I stopped watching your videos because not having a diesel made me sad. But I finally bought my first one today so I need to start watching all your videos again haha

[@onecleanplatinum8434]

It’s a good thing it happened now vs the drive out to Wisconsin. Keep ol red man.

[@bernhard8540]

one tip I never do is close my hood until I'm sure its fixed haha

[@bransonred1]

You have a reliable truck now.

[@natep1661]

1 of the 1st mods I did was fleece high flow tranny cooler lines. Easy install. I also installed (2) plate and fin derale tranny coolers next to the stock tranny cooler for additional protection. I personally don't believe the new trucks are any more reliable. Upgrade at your own risk. Everything on a vehicle is a wear/tear part. Not exactly a major deal.

[@terrybrunson8055]

I had a trans line on my lbz 2007 leaking . I changed it with a stock one . In my driveway. Thinking I had the clips in right . Started the truck . About a half a minute later it emptied the fluid all over the driveway. Fixed it . The stain is still there . Bone head move . Know your pain. Love my truck!!

[@oneshotpete6.591]

wify’s always know best !!

[@makojoe238]

My 06 LBZ dually had the same problem. On vacation many hours from home with my truck camper in the bed coming down a steep mountain. Nearby shop removed the faulty factory crimp fitting and double hose clamped it till I got home. Put a fleece kit on, and everything has been fine since.

[@TruckMaster]

Nice 👍

[@Alex-ts2nf]

I had a similar, but less fatal leak from the trans cooler lines on my lml. Highly recommend deviant race parts line kit. Very high quality parts and keep my Allison happy!

[@TruckMaster]

That’s what I used

[@11Jolgehbby]

I was about to say buy hydraulic lines u will never regret lol I’m glad that fixes your issues 👍🏽 my truck after daytona crankshaft broken 😞 I’m about to do a full rebuild on my engine

[@ronfrance4041]

I put the deviant 5/8 hydraulic hoses on my 07 classic the week I bought it because the stock ones swerve already leaking and they had already been replaced when I got it at 58,000 miles! Now about to do my 100,000 mile full service and ordered a PPE deep pan with deep external filter and a trans go kit. Next will be the BD trans cooler with fan

[@cowboychevyschneider]

keep the great work man

[@TruckMaster]

Thanks!

[@ng-ht1vx]

Dad's 01 was starting to show signs that the trans cooler lines were leaking. The rad took different metric fittings. Dad got a kit like the ones that you were installing, and none of the fittings would seal. It was an oddball fitting. I finally had to get the metric fitting, and cut a proper shoulder on it on the lathe to make it seal. Major PITA. I had wanted to just get some hose, flare nuts and JIC fittings, cut the steel lines, flare them, and make the hoses to length and use the factory connectors. Dad didn't want to do that. So, it cost 3 runs into the city an hour away to finally get the truck working. A few months later, a buddy of mine had the same issue you had. We did what I had originally wanted to do with dad's truck. We got the parts from the local 'everything industrial' supply store, and I got everything fabbed and into the truck in about 4 hours. I have a hose crimper at home, so it wasn't any kind of issue to buy the fittings and bulk hose, and make it exactly how my buddy wanted it. The factory push connect fittings are so much nicer than the everything screwed in fittings.

[@pv2kio1991]

I had an ‘06 LBZ with 200k on it that I sold to a guy in Elkton, Md. I spent $5k in chassis parts, just to have a trans cooler line blow off and dump $150 worth of trans fluid in my apartments parking lot. After a very long 5 months, I cut my losses and gave it up.. driving a ‘19 Cummins now, but the paranoia of something breaking is still very real! My advice is to not take a heavy loss like I did. A fresh start will definitely bring lots of new content, but if you can’t do that without selling the LBZ, then it may not be a financially wise move just yet. I’m still very interested in the LMM and 12V builds. A couple of videos on some cool, cheap mods for us blue color guys should keep those builds rolling!

[@ronthompson2366]

Just shows... LISTEN TO MRS. TRUCKMASTER !!! sometimes you have to check your ego and call the tow truck... and listen to the wife. But you got it fixed, luckily you didn't blow the tranny... gave you a good video and lesson for others ! Shut it down, tow it home and fix it . As for new trucks... they break down too... then you have a 80k truck, large monthly payment and broken truck to boot ! Hang in there Truckmaster and keep it real. Mrs. Truckmaster you owned this one lol... behind every good Truckmaster is a Mrs. Truckmaster ! Lol.. 👍

[@TruckMaster]

Great point

[@ronthompson2366]

Lol you're a good man Truckmaster 👍

[@baddriversoflittlerock8359]

I have the fleece lines on mine. Go back in about a month and re-tighten everything. Then about once every year, recheck. Mine keep coming loose from the horrible roads.

[@TruckMaster]

Thanks

[@jeffl9157]

@Bad Drivers Of Little Rock Just put a little bit of medium strength loctite on the fittings that keep coming lose

[@seabee73]

I put those fleece hoses on 5 years ago when I put a bigger transmission cooler on. I also put an electric fan on the cooler since I live in floriduh.

[@TruckMaster]

You should be good now 😂👍

[@ds4guy173]

Keep the LBZ! Your videos inspired me to buy an classic body duramax

[@TruckMaster]

Thanks and I definitely plan on keeping it

[@jamesdavenport5464]

I’m back, great to show the unexpected. I need to get some of those trans lines soon. Keep them videos coming.

[@TruckMaster]

Thanks James

Done the same thing bought some DRP lines about 3 hours and a new trans cooler because I broke mine on install 😉😉😉 upgraded that to 😂.

[@RW-zh7kl]

Shouldve had the minivan pull the Duramax home.. that would've been classic!

[@lawrenceheinz2679]

My 2007.5 LMM cooler lines started leaking just over 50k. Got them replaced with quality lines and no problem.

[@gabrielbz.]

i literally bought an lbz because of your channel and videos😢 i hope you keep it

[@TruckMaster]

I will keep it

[@darylkalbach4600]

Love my 2020 GMC 3500hd 10 speed , just put in a titan fuel tank save 8ft for other things.

[@russianrick8403]

I saw that my transmission lines were rubbing on the steering idler arm, so I got some zip ties and secured them out of the way so they don’t rub on anything anymore. I have 183k miles on the clock and nothing leaks now ;)

[@dmaxoutdoors]

I had to do mine too. I cut the hard lines behind those leaking crimps and added in gates hose and fittings. I also did my power steering lines too as they have the same style crimps as the Trans lines. They are just as bad to leak too.

[@mrmotofy]

what kind of fittings?

[@dmaxoutdoors]

@@mrmotofy watch my video on power steering lines and cooler. There compression fittings.

[@anthonyrodriguez243]

Freaking videos are awesome I appreciate the content

[@willlindsey6176]

I’m surprised you hadn’t already fixed those especially with how much you’ve done to the truck. Happened to mine awhile ago

[@TruckMaster]

I’m shocked I didn’t either

[@livinincalifornia]

Diesels are major work

[@AlbertAGhazaleh]

Don't worry happens to everyone and it was a simple fix thankfully I have been there with coolant hoses going to the heater core blew and I stuck in Daytona 40 miles from home with the entire family in the truck....

[@joshgallas4073]

Hahaha my 2019 5.3 Silverado has a recall on it right now for the oil cooler lines too 😂

[@midwestworkshop2863]

I had a trans line completely separate on the highway one time. Had trans fuild cover the whole passenger side underneath the truck.

[@OldGriz708]

Think of it as spray on rustproofing.👍

[@georgeenriquez612]

Dude I would’ve went and got the trailer and winch it on and pulled it home with your other diesel but that sucks man! Hope you got it fixed and you’re keeping it still

Am kind of surprised you never replaced them when you installed your built trans

[@Yippa391]

Fleece lines when I put my truck together. Not a built trans.. But hopefully won't need to worry

[@savannahrei8674]

Got a 2004 Duramax. Buy a diesel they said. It will be fun they said. So far this year: Blown up turbo (stranded), failed wheel bearing (stranded), failed injector 2&7 connectors (stranded), broken serpatine belt (stranded). I am going out tommorrow to buy trans cooler lines LOL!

[@bradm2116]

My old lb7 would once and awhile have the show up on the dash and wouldn't go into.reverse shut it off and restart and would usualy work fine even with the fluid full think I ended up replacing the tcm eventually

[@zackzander425]

Damn that sucks. My 07' Power Stroke just keeps going. Never left me on the side of the road but I know some day its going to get me, approaching 500,000 miles. Preventative maintenance is all you really can do. I'm going to put a new radiator and all new hoses in cuz they're getting up in age.

[@hunterhobbs4374]

The trucks you have are fine i would love any one of them you dont need a new one buddy . PS your wife is BEAUITYFUL

[@joshmiller8663]

I just put deviant racing trans lines on my lb7 love them.

[@ColorfulInHD]

I don’t wanna hurt the trans… throws it in drive and holds it at 2k rpm with no oil 🤣 nice

[@strongtulip7694]

Seems like that crimp was pretty good to hold up for 15 years and 185k+ miles.

[@AlexMiller-wq8eo]

Sooooo….. questions. What line kit did you choose? Why did you choose it? What options are out there? My 04.5 LLY is still rocking the factory lines with not a problem…. That said, I am very aware of these issues and feel I also have a ticking time bomb and should proactively deal with with it one of these days… could you go a little deeper into the topic in another video? Or link a previous older one you may have done? Only reason I bring it up is because it is such an issue with these trucks and there are a lot of kits out there. I speak for myself here but I want the right kit one time not a cheap kit a few times. any feedback is greatly appreciated

[@M8017.]

"I think we'll be fine" 😳
