KZbin must be promoting your videos. This is my first view. You are a superior mechanic with a great attitude. Please keep it up. For those of us four year olds out here who love trucks you’re one of the top dudes.

[@Camo-Dan]

This was so fun to watch! Love the frame/crossmember restoration videos they never get old

[@realrocktimusprime]

GM should be watching and thanking you for keeping their trucks on the road. Not saying their trucks are bad. Just thanking you for keeping their trucks on the road. I got an 07 Duramax with 281k and its been great.

[@frasercrone3838]

The rust you get in vehicles that are not that old over there is amazing.

[@Kyleigh-m8v]

Make longer videos I don’t have anything better to do at night than to watch your videos ❤

[@TruckMaster]

Ha ha thanks man

[@Ray00069]

[@MichaelMulvey-hp3he]

That is why you never give up. He was right their n gave up

[@brandonlaneday]

Makes me really appreciate being in Arizona and having an lly with 242k miles with zero frame rust

[@builtbyme]

Im right there with ya, just bought a single cab lly. Paid 3k for it with 155k on the clock. Frame is great, but it has some rust. It runs tho, well did, i almost got the motor out. Doing a full swap from my truck. But its gonna be a full frame off.

[@TruckMaster]

Oh boy

[@builtbyme]

@TruckMaster I actually wanna run in ODSS this year. So with my powertrain, and what im going to build, it should be fun. And the big truck as a tow pig. SBE motor in that but with all the goodies.

[@TruckMaster]

That’s a perfect idea @@builtbyme

[@builtbyme]

@TruckMaster with the new shop im loving it, heated and all. Got the hoist in and using it. Man its awesome.

[@pauljanssen7594]

Little bit confused here, now the pins are supposed to have rate of failure, that means they need to be replaced and and upgraded, the bolts are not properly torqued it puts much more load on the pins. That's the reason for failure.

[@richardstone3980]

I bought a 91 ford f250 , that's quite rusty. This truck is inspiring me to fix mine. I thank you

[@eddie_lly_6.6]

Maybe keep the fifth rails that came with this truck and leave it in this truck or put it in wife max then but a gooseneck plate for fifth wheel rails and you can pull your goosneck if ur Denali goes down

[@deltacx1059]

I find It insane how such a new truck already needs so much rust removal.

[@daleolson3506]

China steel

[@stevedewolf1]

new? i did'nt catch the year but its at almost years old

[@BBslider001]

So, have you been doing this engine long enough that disassembly/assembly is just second nature? I know in my 20 years of owning the 7.3 Powerstroke, I could take it all apart and put it back together by memory. I was watching you pull it apart and setting stuff aside when most of us have to lay it all out and remember the order of parts LOL....Great video!

[@AndrewEvans-nu1md]

Just did the same with my front and rear fuel tank crossmembers not to difficult. Originally the rear fuel tank strap rusted through and the driver rear upper shock mount rusted through. Bed had to come off. Work came out great! New cross members and both sides upper shock mounts burned in frame got cleaned up and repainted. 5.3 flex fuel rcsb Z71 4x4 back on the road for another 150k

[@262chevyguy]

im doing the crossmembers right now and man you made it look easy!! was out at the shop until 5 am and will be back there tonight lol

[@Toolaholic7]

There are prebent brake line kits made out of stainless steel.Those pins in the crank,There is a shop in Utah that eliminates them and machines the crank to accept a full half moon key.

[@TruckMaster]

I have the lines already thanks for the info 👍

[@Toolaholic7]

[@mikebanks6704]

You should build a duramax swapped tahoe/suburban for the channel I think that'd be cool and work out good for ya

[@TruckMaster]

One day I’d love to do something like that

[@mikebanks6704]

@@mikebanks6704 Thanks brother

[@agger838]

​@@TruckMasterdo you still have the tahoe

[@kwippl4207]

Great win! Still a lot of work ahead of you. If he thinks jumped timing, check crank/cam sensors. Question: Where would you find the electrical diagrams on these duramax's? I have looked around but can't find them.

[@jonhalldav]

Got a rust free southern truck - 05 ECSB with LLY/auto trans/manual tcase.

[@TruckMaster]

👍👍

[@eddiereichel9354]

You can use an oscilloscope can figure out if the engine is out of time without removing one single bolt.

[@LyttonKing]

Dude you got all the knowledge and the resources to know what to do with all of these duramax, makes me jealous, cuz it makes me sick to my stomach not knowing what my 2015 LML duramax exactly needs, cause she does need a good bit of fixing like needs a pretty good restoring job to do and some upgrading to do I wanna keep her in a daily truck driving to work and anywhere I go, but like better performance, drives awesome and a little bit fast obviously. But I have no clue where to start or what stuff I need to have

[@GallowayPerformance]

I have a rust free extended cab for sale if you want to cut the rocker and cab corners off to replace those. It comes with the rear doors. Truck was from Nevada. I'm in southern Indiana if you'd be interested I could meet somewhere

[@TruckMaster]

I appreciate it but I already have all the rust free body parts I need for this build 👍

[@MrTonyPiscatelle]

Been working on cars most all my life or at least better n 50 years of it so far now that i'm 64. I have never heard anyone say ( Jump Timing ) It's always been said the car truck whatever jumped time. Timing is what you set , jumped time is what it did.

[@joeminer4261]

I have an 02 ccsb that I bought for 5,000. No rust at all. Of course I'm in Texas. Spit block heather on freeway and now have oil in coolant, water in oil and blows oil cap on the ground when unscrewed. I think i broke it. Damn, project time.

[@CountylineCrawlers]

Can't wait to see how it turns out!

[@jasonw2893]

As someone who wrecked an lly and needs to restore it these videos are so cool

[@bobgreenhagel3855]

I would like to know where you can buy new brake lines. I have a 04 lly, I already have the new fuel lines from GM Dealership.

[@brucesheehe6305]

I am sure that it will be a showpiece when the project is completed. Amazing knowhow on these beasts.

[@RichardAnthony-hu5ne]

If you end up using that engine I would pin the crankshaft.and awesome video love watching your builds

[@TruckMaster]

Thanks

[@jtthompson8348]

I am so glad I live in Texas. have a 20 year old truck and ZERO rust.

[@ikiahlewis9169]

There's a lb7 here in California a crew cab shortbed that has coolant in the oil that they want 2500 for

[@ikiahlewis9169]

It's a 01 with 407k miles on it not to bad of shape clean truck

[@TruckMaster]

I’d buy it if I lived in CA

[@diesel-legend]

I have a powerstroke , and I think all diesel engines are cool Cummins Duramax and powerstroke! 😉 Your videos are really cool and fun. 👍

[@TruckMaster]

I appreciate it man

[@GraceEngineering]

If you ever deal with a front seal leaking, check the front cover alignment.

[@GraceEngineering]

Also, if you haven't planned it, convert the crankshaft snout from pin alignment to keyway. Those factory pins are notorious for shearing off.

[@MHConstruction_MN]

Can't wait to find out what's wrong with it, might help me figure out what's up with my LB7

[@boringkiddogamer2259]

When buying any diesels what should the millage be ?

[@USER-fd-me1ep]

Under 300k but some engines can be under 400k older trucks newer trucks nothing under 200k for me

[@TruckMaster]

150-250

[@Noah-me8dg]

Definitely check the valve covers. I bought my Duramax with bent pushrods. It was due to someone spraying it with either. No broke cam or crank pin.

[@jarvislarson6864]

How does ether bend pushrods? Sounds like over revving cause

[@Noah-me8dg]

@@jarvislarson6864 it’s extremely explosive. It causes early combustion. if the glow plugs are on that can also cause it to pre ignite while exhaust valves are still open

Hello Josh. Let's see what's under the cab of the truck off of Facebook Market Place. Hopefully it's not too bad.

[@LolLol-ib7kn]

I just converted my single cab using your video of the shorty build. What gas tank did you use? And what did you do with the fuel cooler?

[@TruckMaster]

I used the same fuel tank that came with the truck and deleted the fuel cooler

How is that harbor freight welder and wat kind is it is it mig welder titanium 240 and do u like it lov yr vids

[@LeeCazier]

Yes would definitely pull the heads and check it over if I was into it that far. Sounds like he had bad injectors and thought the knock was from timing.

[@TruckMaster]

The weird thing though is that the injectors are still new

Josh, I'm curious to know how you're gonna get a kodiac transfer case or a Kodiak transmission or anything from Kodiak Really, I've been waiting almost 3 years to get my transmission Built And then mark told me that they can't do it because they don't have parts.

[@shemwhitehead9517]

This is what we should be doing instead of jumping into the EV market. Refurbishing and updating what was already made is much smarter than buying new.

[@bruceshepard1136]

You’re 100% last 20 years have been like screw it get a new one

[@jarvislarson6864]

Yes that is the most eco friendly and wallet friendly thing to do even if updating some technology for efficiency and performance....it's the only true recycling method the feed it to the crusher then shred separate materials and fire up a forge and melting down to make new is extremely inefficient when many vehicles are easy to replace drivetrain and live another decade or two

[@carlstephens1532]

The leading issue is emissions, to keep it simple we are destroying the air we need to breathe,
