Turning This Junk $1200 Duramax Into A Show Truck! Cleanest DMAX On YouTube

[@lbeliel4128]

By far the most complete custom Duramax build I’ve seen. Having friends like Mark and Ryan is priceless! This truck is going to be jaw dropping!

[@TruckMaster]

Thanks 🙏

[@danielcampbell4225]

They did this same build on truck tech years ago

[@irondiver292]

Lol. Found him ^^

[@acgstereoman]

Love how this build is coming together!!!

[@danielbeitel9724]

Beautiful truck coming together!!!! This is exactly what I am doing to my 06 lbz. Frame up restore, make it look like it just left the factory. Keep up the amazing work guys!!!

[@TruckMaster]

You got this 👍

[@Dleehart19]

I really appreciate watching your videos on custom builds and restorations. I'm currently in the process of restoring my 97 dodge 2500 with 12v cummins. It's taken me a whole year to get it ready to put back together and soon will have it painted.

[@TruckMaster]

Nice 👍

[@gamedayz4970]

Its great to see all the work that's been done

[@DoggyDogYT]

Mark is a real man! Worked through that back pain!

[@connorkuester1266]

It looks so good you guys made this thing insane

[@SR-tc9gd]

Mark, Ryan an TruckMaster, you do such an Awesome job on your projects! The attention to detail and the craftsmanship is the best in the industry for sure!! I only wish I had the years of knowledge you have!! Keep up the Great work!!

[@lbeliel4128]

Mark’s shirt matches the truck build!

[@qdmax11]

Sure is sweet! Can’t wait to see this thing ripping down the strip

[@FarmerSteveO]

Well done gentlemen! Mark said it, it’s the attention to detail that makes the build on a hot rod! Love the blue and gun metal gray accents!

[@bat__bat]

The prismatic powders are owned by Cerakote. U know that's top quality coating. It looks so so so damn good and they develop new colors constantly. When u got the time and knowledge to over-protect every nut, bolt, nook and cranny, that end result is priceless. A truck certainly can be restored to BETTER than the day it rolled off the assembly line. I think it would be awesome to make a living doing this too. The deal breaker is trying to source all the original parts. It's just a tedious process with zero guarantees. But once u track down all the components it's off to the races

[@rexgratteaux8655]

What an awesome build! Mark is a mastermind when it comes to a nice Dmax build and of course RYAN and ERIC MECHANICALLY, GREAT JOB !

[@WilliamlDyda]

hell of a job. it looks outstanding

[@FateLobby]

im so excited to see this finished!!! i love it so far!

[@TruckMaster]

Thanks Cody

[@CHICOB4261]

Man I still love this channel and it keeps getting better! Mark & Ryan are a great addition to the process (Mark is definitely my “Mancrush”) I have watched his video on rebuilding the transmission probably at least 6 times! I’m beginning to think I could do a transmission rebuild with Mark as my instructor!

[@TruckMaster]

Mark is the man

[@wesleyhryszczuk9442]

[@scottchristensen8126]

[@billstuewer5574]

Watching you guys not want to put the slightest scratch on it makes me think you are building it for SEMA. You guys do amazing work!

[@johnmarks1528]

Great job on the build . You guys are building some of the sickest Duramax trucks. Keep up the great work.

Man. Seeing y’all build a truck so quick and seamless and easy (looking) I know it’s not so easy. But man I wish I could pay y’all to help do a build on our new Shuttle buss camper mini RV we just got. I’m trying to find a way to engine swap it a LML should drop in it. But it’s way outta my skill set

[@PndaS2k]

Hurry up with the next video, I can not wait to see the final product 😍

Gonna be awesome! Definitely black on the frame, like Mark’s enthusiasm on this build! Another note, saw Bob Chandler today at Bigfoot Open house, Mark prob knows him

[@Back_door_bandit_98]

I’m gonna be honest I’m not a fan of single cabs unless it’s a 80s or older when they really only came in single cabs. But 90s and newer extended cab or crew cab for the win.

[@CarsTrucksWhatever]

Are you going with cat eye or gmc be cool if you can keep it look oem as possible on the outside of the truck make it look like it roll off the line as a short bed oem wheel and everything sleeper look

[@TruckMaster]

It’s. GMC

[@7Skyz]

Lookin' good my man!

[@johnwells2128]

Well I had to buy another truck since finding out no one in Richmond Virginia wants to do a frame swap even with all the parts and bare straight frame 💩🤦🤷 but now I found a really good 2010 with no rust and it's sweet 😁😎👍

[@Medleysspeedshop]

What fuel tank did you use?? Please and thank you.

[@TruckMaster]

I reused the stock tank that came with the truck

[@richardharvey8939]

Very great. What sh I was local to them and could have them freshen my 04.

[@stacykelley2297]

I want to know what you are going to do for the driveshaft. I am doing a similar build of a lowered 2wd lbz dually with a zf6 and I want to do a slip joint of some kind but with out a carrier bearing.

[@TruckMaster]

We had to get the measurements and send it to a local driveshaft company to have it made

[@stacykelley2297]

Will it be a one piece basically or will you use a carrier bearing.

[@fredmyers5453]

Great job

[@TruckMaster]

Thanks

[@johnmoore8800]

Wow, what an absolute beauty of a Diesel Truck. Making it a short box too, is so badass... The details and colors are incredible what an amazing build. What an inspiration. Motivates me to want to take my Duramax to the next levels. By recreating a Custom look making it the Pinnacle Piece helping with the Marketing of my Construction Business. I can't not wait to see this show piece all finished. You guys do such a bitch job great work...

The inside of your diff cover is that set up like oem is it rounded off like a OEM cover and flat with the cooling fins on the out side or is it flat on the inside like most after market covers

[@BruceMyersLBZ]

Hey Earl, whats the big draw to a shorty? People seem to love them, i try to but just dont get it?? I went other way for functional purposes, took our mint low mileage 2012 LML CCSB to 13 CCLB dually chassis/ bed swap. Toy haulers are heavy. Short beds would ride choppy in comparison, not really any mpg 2 be gained? Maybe from a utilitarian standpoint i have a closed mind

[@guero6.6]

Beautiful truck😍

[@jakes_lbz]

Is that exhaust 5 inches from the downpipe?

[@TruckMaster]

No it’s a 4”

[@advanceddiesel10]

Hey kind of shocks did you put on the truck

[@ronaldbabbitt6318]

Great Awesome! Definitely 💯🎯🤠

[@nickb.6884]

Love your videos. I purchased my first diesel. In doing so I've been able to watch your videos to calm most of my concerns but one. It's an 04 Duramax with 210,000 miles. Injectors were changed at 115,000 miles. My concern is from 55mph to 60mph it has what I can only explain is a low vibration. All gears shift great other than that shimmy. I guess I'm also concerned about black smoke when I give it the "beans" alittle. A little more back ground it came from an older man who only used it for camping but he was the second owner. My son thinks it might have a tune from the original owner and that's why it has smoke. Or maybe it's just the way it is. If you have any thoughts I'm open to ideas. Thanks and keep up the great content.

[@MarinaraTrackDays]

some small amount of coal when you roll into throttle is completely normal. That shimmy happens with me too if im on the highway @ 1000-1250 ish RPM. Whole truck shakes when i accelerate through that really low RPM range but not anywhere else. I don't know what that is but I do have something like that.

[@mrmotofy]

Gonna be hard to get personalized help on here. Duramax Forums are better

[@adammorrison3343]

@@MarinaraTrackDays The vibration might be injector related

What is the cost to completely strip down and rebuild a truck like this? Roughly. With the cost of trucks these days, I have to think it’s cheaper to rebuild… and more reliable. Interested to get your thoughts there. Thanks and great videos.
