Y-Bridge Bundle kit Install 2011-2016 LML Duramax

[@kylewiedemann4293]

All these years of watching you and I just now realized you dont have a topside creeper. I was fortunate to be gifted one last Christmas. It's a lifesaver!!

[@TruckMaster]

Your right I really need one

[@kylewiedemann4293]

Maybe one will be gifted to you. Great videos by the way. Keep em coming.

[@cesarlaso356]

Warning to viewers. a lot of this is harder than it looks. You have to really want it. Buy the tools 12 points, swivel impact and 3/8 swivel socket holders, bendable extensions etc. You WILL be stuck and have to stop and buy them. I started doing all the Truckmaster vids after seeing how it's done and believing it was easy and learned the hard way. It's not easy. Now I've done CP3, turbo, exhaust manifolds, down pipes, up pipes, etc. etc. If your in there do alll you can for example this guy should have had a cp3 conversion done. I know money was a factor. That's why wrenching on your own stuff pays off.

[@TruckMaster]

Great point! It always looks easier on video make sure you have tools for the job. I had three hours of footage on this process and I edited it down to 30 minutes. I’m sure I missed a lot but this video is a great snap shot or reference. Doing this yourself should save you around $1000 on labor cost. Good luck everyone 👍

[@troyvalenzuela6064]

Awesome video, helped me a bunch! The WC Fab kit now comes with the hot side pipe as well but its pretty simple to figure that install out. A few things I learned to pass on: On my '13 lml the cold side charge pipe clamp would not fit onto the intercooler no matter what I tried, had to go get a regular 3-5" clamp for that guy. Also, the O-rings are sized for each specific part (3 rings, 2 for the y bridge and one for the turbo intake). I somehow messed that up and had to go get one for my intake after I had the bridge securely installed. Lastly, make sure you hook the IAT sensor back to the correct plug! There is an exact match in the leftover harnesses which I accidentally used and got a 0097 code and limp mode. The harness you want is the one that goes with the MAF. One week later father/son project complete: WC Fab bridge kit, DEF delete 4" straight, FASS pump and Firestone ride rite just cuz i was in the mood! Oh and H/S Mini maxx. Wife was not happy with credit card bill but my truck is badass now!! haha.

Very important question. Currently have a whole list of what I need to install a shit ton of parts on my Lml. (2012 Gmc) Do I need to drain all of the coolant? Or just out of the radiator? Nobody had “clarified” that. Nor in the instructions online just say drain coolant out of lower radiator hose.! How much all of it?

@truckmaster can you expound upon the tune you used for this project? You mention the DSP5 switch, but what else made this tune more effective than other options?

[@dylanmsanford5531]

I know this comment is years later but I have a deleted dpf and def lml with egr and 5 position. Doing this doesn’t throw any lights or limp mode or anything since the egr shouldn’t be working or plugged in if I’m right. And all them unplugged wires shouldn’t be an issue down the road right?

[@f3arful]

Completely remove tank if desired or just unplug and tune it. Simple

[@syntaxed4365]

I'm not saying there's no issue with blocking off the egr portion of the stock up pipe, versus replacing with an lb7 up pipe... But why would pressures be any different on the lower bellows on the lb7 or lml up pipes? Would blocking the egr portion effectively be the same as it not existing to begin with? Are the lml lower bellows weaker?

[@thepsalmsman]

Question... the sensor on the intercooler pipe plugs in where? There are two identical receptor options

[@evanschippers3943]

So is this considered a full delete then? I’m buying a 2016 lml soon and am very new to diesels. I thought deleting was just removing the def tank and tuning

[@kenpage5965]

If you add the tune to delete DPF and EGR do you have to do this full EGR delete right away or can you still drive it and wait a bit before fully deleting? Also do you a delete tune kit? What kit did you use and where did you get your 5 tunes and switch from? Sorry, newby here but time to delete since particulate filter is bad.

Is it possible to reach that single bolt on the coolant riser pipe under the turbo, without removing the up/down pipes?
