Worked for an excavating company like that. Machine would come back out with a fresh half ass paint job and everything else still leaking oil and F’d up still!
An Uncle had the same engine, he did a few mods to it, like a computer tune, different injectors and turbo and exhaust mods on the stock engine. Pulling a heavy backhoe up a long grade one day, it began to lose power and started knocking and smoking very badly. It finally quit. He had it towed to a performance diesel shop, and they found the crankshaft was broke in three different pieces. That Callies crank they are using looks very interesting.
@@korn111685 see that's what i was wondering. So if I'm going to buy a Duramax... it needs to be an l5p if I'm going to go for over 600 horsepower... is that the gist of it?
It is much easier to install the camshaft first when the engine is completely disassembled. You can reach into the upside down block to guide it into place.
This is the manufacturer recommended way of cleaning the deck, but they really should have done it before bringing it to the machine shop. That way any sanding particles could have been cleaned. You can't really deck these blocks without opening a whole can of worms.
LML cranks are junk, a goal of 1000hp and even a brand new LML crank is sketchy at best. Reusing a stock crank, especially LML, is just asking to pull the motor again. And no one with half a brain would install a new crank into a Duramax without checking line bore and line honing at minimum. Not uncommon for them to get line bored.
This was a not a lp5 duramax which came with much better internals than this duramax did so that's why other people get way more power out of stock duramaxes
PLEASE do a video on the Ford 3.2 Liter Powerstroke!!! do not get confused with the new 3 liter, I wanna see big numbers with their older 3.2! It was the lowest powered engine offered in the Transit from 2015 to 2019. It is a 4 stroke inline 5! Stock 185 HP and 350TQ. I have dreams of buying one and dropping it in a car to drift, but I financially will never get to see that itty bitty block turn into a pocket rocket diesel. One of the smallest diesels Ford ever made, and has a TERRIBLE reputation for its power output. For the low price and size, I've always had the biggest hunch it could be a power house if the stock turbo was upgraded, FI played with, and a solid tune. I would sh*t and giggle to prove my friends wrong on the 3.2!!! Please do a build on it!!!!!
I like the fixture that he uses with the dial bore gauge. I am so used to seeing people holding the dial bore gauge directly to the outside micrometer to calibrate it, and I have no idea how that can possibly be accurate. I was surprised to hear that the .001 inch of clearance for every 1 inch of crank journal rule still applied to diesels. I'm so used to seeing wider clearances on everything diesel, because of how much more pressure it puts on components when compared to gasoline engines.
These doods are my guys... instead of using a speed wrench and taking for ever, they snug it down with an impact instead then torque... love it... always hated using a damn speed wrench when I can use an impact Also, that is a very nice mic set... im jelious
it would make more sense to talk about the masking and painting before talking about cleaning the gasket surfaces. don't you love it brief 3 second outlines of 4 hours of detailed tedious work, too?
Why did you attach the torque plate with head bolts when the engine will be using head studs? Seems like that would defeat the whole process since bolts distort the block differently than studs.
Great show as always! UA-cam drives me crazy with the maniac loud volume on commercials. I live in an apartment and have to run to the computer and dial the sound back so management doesn't show me the front gate! Thanks, Google.
See I have to interject the LML and the LP5 can take what you put on it, The Lower in will hold of the fine. If you don’t believe would you believe Gale Banks Mr. Diesel Himself has put together the PL5 only changing the Cam and Push Rod Assembly, topped of with a Turbo and Super Charger Dino out at a mere 7000 RPM as he was trying to blow the Motor and couldn’t. Ask him either that or watch the Video showing the RPM. I agree with you on the rebuild but to say the lower unit won’t hold. It not a 6.7 Ford or the Cummins 6.7 both have some serious issues.
You wouldnt ever slide a non roller tip piece of tool steel on a journal, thats the easiest way to scratch it. Final wipe down of an engine to clear it of machining oil is done with soapy water, and when its clean, then its oiled.
I remember seeing a product that it's a paint but the oil runs off it so the oil returns to the pan faster and keeps the oil off of the motor making it easier to clean. I can't remember the brand or name of it so I guess someone's going to have to Google hahaha
Its actually been proven already that those Elderbrock heads do basically nothing over stock heads. I think it was like 10hp more? Was either Gale or DuramaxTuner that tested them.
Hey , What would happen if You capture the Moisture off of Diesel Engine and turn it to a Hydrogen gas and feed it back into the Intake????? More Horse Power???
Well boys and girls, this is how we install $25,000 worth of parts that we purchased, uhhh, was given to us, on our $12,000 duramax. Tune in next week when we install a built $8000.00 Allison we picked up, uhhh, was dropped off for us, to handle all that new power.
Do any of you ppl ever answer questions that can really help "Joe American" w/ his truck issues ?? I have a 1999 Ford F-150 w/a 5.4 V8. I understand the aluminum heads are very thin where the spark plugs thread in. That's why I've had 3 spark plugs already blown through the threads having to be fixed w/helicoils. I understand they can't be fixed twice. Solve this problem for good. Questions : a) do you know of this problem ? b) do you have a recommendation you could share ? c) are there aftermarket or other heads available that don't have the same problem & could fit this engine ? Thanks for your generous consideration, Steph (Stephen Boeker) Leesville, LA
Why would you pay extra for the Denali trim and then take it off? Plus the clearance lights and blacked out taillights are pure rice. It is a GMC truck not a mid 90s Honda Civic.
I agree with you on the clearance lights but how the hell is blacked out taillights on a truck rice? Personally I prefer clear aftermarket tail and headlights but black is still better than the ugly red/orange markers on the factory ones
Anyone going to point out the legal issue with those cab lights and the fact the truck isn't wide enough for them? Three center lights means it's wider than 84 inches and the two outer lights are to indicate the maximum loading size. You can have some legal issues from having the three center lights and not being wide enough.
Pat is the greatest asset to PowerNation.
A fresh coat of paint is proven to entirely rebuild every engine on ebay.
Its standard procedure
We have a winner! ;)
Lol
That's the gospel truth, ...lmao!

You guys should watch killing a Duramax. Big hp on standard crank, rods and pistons. Gale Banks is the man!
That's what I said
Nathanial Holdridge Ok
That LML can’t hold a candle next to the L5P. The L5P is more beefy from the factory.
@@korn111685 see that's what i was wondering. So if I'm going to buy a Duramax... it needs to be an l5p if I'm going to go for over 600 horsepower... is that the gist of it?
Yeah big HP for how long? You probably wouldn't last 10,000 miles putting 1000HP through a stock rotating assembly.
Happy to see more diesel episodes , be interesting if they did more different types of everyday Diesel engines .
An Olds Nintey Eight Diesel would be a good runner up.
@@boywhohasl1vedhascometodie469 you couldn't afford what they are doing. The tooling alone is outrageous.
@@TTGTO288 not really, and Ive done some (a lot) or research from that point, it turns out the Olds diesel is a shit one. So why not an IDI?
It is much easier to install the camshaft first when the engine is completely disassembled. You can reach into the upside down block to guide it into place.
I’ve always said and do this, I don’t know why everyone always puts it in last 🤷🏻♂️
These dudes made it feel like I'm watching a real life TV show ON UA-cam and I'm loving every bit of it THESE MY DAWGS FASHOLY
Why would you send an engine to the machine shop and not have them at least clean the deck surface?!?!?!?!
Because usually in the diesel world you DONT need a professional cleaning
This is the manufacturer recommended way of cleaning the deck, but they really should have done it before bringing it to the machine shop. That way any sanding particles could have been cleaned. You can't really deck these blocks without opening a whole can of worms.
I came here to say the same thing. Thought for sure the machine shop would deck it. Guess not with diesels. Learn something new everyday
Machine shops definitely resurface diesel blocks.
Everytime I watch your guy's channel, it gets me through my day
Gale Banks changed all my perceptions on modified diesel engines
lol the rat at 10:23 by the bay doors got me.
I love watching their shows.
Just painted my new engine last night...
Went with VHT's "Cast Iron". Man...it looks killer.
Unless you go aftermarket main caps or you’ve spun a bearing, line hone is overkill and not necessary but to each his own. Crank is overkill too.
If you're changing from main bolts to main studs then a line hone is necessary as they torque on the caps different and distort the caps differently
LML cranks are junk, a goal of 1000hp and even a brand new LML crank is sketchy at best. Reusing a stock crank, especially LML, is just asking to pull the motor again. And no one with half a brain would install a new crank into a Duramax without checking line bore and line honing at minimum. Not uncommon for them to get line bored.
Would rather have overkill than a killed engine if you got the means why not go all out
literally everything you said is wrong Duey. thats impressive
the next episode will be them rebuilding the transmission and the rear axle, to handle the upgrade of that hp the engine now put out
Not likely on the Ford. Its the same 6R80 that people are using with supercharged 5.0 engines, and they seem mostly problem-free.
That engine is taking shape nicely, good work guys 👍
This looks like a TV show, i like it
I like it when Pat shows up
Ya'll plz tell me during this whole episode you weren't thinking or wondering wtf Gale Banks would have to say about this?!? …. LOL
me too lol
no fire rings,
block and head for the win
This was a not a lp5 duramax which came with much better internals than this duramax did so that's why other people get way more power out of stock duramaxes
8:30 enter Yoda....the master.
I agree. I talk shit about all the shit in his pocket but he really is the bomb
WTF is going on with Austin's accent? Is he from everywhere?
Sometimes creole, sometimes Tennessee, sometimes Texas. All in the same shot.
It's his overwhelming desire to try to be the coolest guy in the room. It's really annoying.
I'm still trying to figure out why he doesn't have an accent on Always Sunny, but has one here.
He is definitely trying too hard...
He sounds like a Cajun who took a job in Tennessee that requires him to speak intelligibly.
Slap a factory duramax badge on it. Less is more

knock off rage against the machine intro 😂😂
Block was at the machine shop and you didnt have it decked. 😂
Even the 6.6L LML Duramax engine is great swapping in all Corvettes and Camaros, including all Classic Chevy Caprices.
Diesel nation let's gooo
LT you got a lot of skills, gas or Diesel. Glad I got to meet you at Beach Ben, with your Dodge racer.

John is the man.
diesel power is made with the fuel pump big turbo pump and most of the time valve springs enjoy the diesel content mixed in
You guys should do a detroit diesel 6.2-6.5
5:04 the autotune kicks in 😂
What the hell
These doods are my guys... instead of using a speed wrench and taking for ever, they snug it down with an impact instead then torque... love it... always hated using a damn speed wrench when I can use an impact
Also, that is a very nice mic set... im jelious
Mac doing good. Can't wait until Frank and Charlie join him over here.
I'm not European 6.6l is 402.6 cubic inches correct? Give both. Ain't powernation in the USA also?
@Edysin Simon Thanks and yup
it would make more sense to talk about the masking and painting before talking about cleaning the gasket surfaces.
don't you love it brief 3 second outlines of 4 hours of detailed tedious work, too?
I don’t get why they didn’t have the machine shop do the headgasket surfaces
@@Dropbackdurbin_ocs because they want to show people at home how to do it themselves and save a buck
Gale Banks backs up what he does with explinations of what, why and how.
Not seeing the cylinder induction hardening marks. Did they get honed off?
LT's the man
Diesels have so much more power than gassers
Why did you attach the torque plate with head bolts when the engine will be using head studs? Seems like that would defeat the whole process since bolts distort the block differently than studs.

Where is the next part of this truck build? Coming later?
What can yall do with a 7.3 Ford Turbo Diesel?
What year?
What hillbilly puts a battery on the seat?
Exactly, make your sister hold it!
Holy shit. Cringed hard at that.
@@otsenres1636 buddy had a shitbox m1009 that had batteries relocated to rear floor board, i have no idea why thats just how we got it.
Yaaawwnnn... what happen to the SRT-10 vs. the F150 build-off.
With an engine of this power level, I had assumed you'd use "Spiral Locks" on the wrist pins instead of normal snap-rings...
Diesels don’t rev high enough.
There are some that can reach 7,000, but just not the same way as you would think.
What about dyno that beast? Put some numbers on, fine tune it!!
See I have to interject the LML and the LP5 can take what you put on it, The Lower in will hold of the fine. If you don’t believe would you believe Gale Banks Mr. Diesel Himself has put together the PL5 only changing the Cam and Push Rod Assembly, topped of with a Turbo and Super Charger Dino out at a mere 7000 RPM as he was trying to blow the Motor and couldn’t.

Just another $60,000 motor from the rich guys to put in a $15,000 truck. Kiss my ass!
I work on light duty diesels for a living, it takes crazy money to make good reliable power.
You wouldnt ever slide a non roller tip piece of tool steel on a journal, thats the easiest way to scratch it.
Final wipe down of an engine to clear it of machining oil is done with soapy water, and when its clean, then its oiled.
so are those still technically 4 bolt mains? or is there another name for them since the other bolts come in through the side?
I think some people call them "Cross-bolt mains" to account for the bolts that enter the sides of the bearing caps.
only use the soft plastics that are in the sale box, or the 1$ bin
I'm interested to see this engine on the dyno and see how it compares to Gale Banks' killing a duramax series.
thinking the same thing. sounds like they will run a compound set up hopefully they will run an "intercooler" lol
brussell639 Different engines and builders so don’t expect much. Gale is using a stock engine too
Wonder what happened to the viper truck and eco boost f150. So much more to do to those trucks.
Should have took out that pos two piece cam gear and put in a lb7 lly cam gear
Why ya had to Mike Wazowski Austin at the end man had em take a whole photo shoot to put the monster inc logo on his face damn near 😭
I remember seeing a product that it's a paint but the oil runs off it so the oil returns to the pan faster and keeps the oil off of the motor making it easier to clean. I can't remember the brand or name of it so I guess someone's going to have to Google hahaha
I cleaned the engine. Then shows him painting over the rust 🤣🤪
Its actually been proven already that those Elderbrock heads do basically nothing over stock heads. I think it was like 10hp more? Was either Gale or DuramaxTuner that tested them.
Ooooohhhh he didn’t call Pat before he installed the pistons
When yall going to do a ford 6.0 liter diesel build ?
Howd they get the head gasket thickness? Just wondering since its an aftermarket head.
ok, but how do i do this to a motorcycle engine?
2:47 is that car wizard?
Gonna make an episode showing you disassembling the ATI balancer to install the water pump? 🙂 I made that mistake too lol.
Wiping paint work with a paper shop towel? My god that is to painful to watch.
Hey , What would happen if You capture the Moisture off of Diesel Engine and turn it to a Hydrogen gas and feed it back into the Intake?????
More Horse Power???
Can't wait to see on a Dyno.
let's hope they're not the "diesel makes power when they smoke a lot" guy.
Well boys and girls, this is how we install $25,000 worth of parts that we purchased, uhhh, was given to us, on our $12,000 duramax. Tune in next week when we install a built $8000.00 Allison we picked up, uhhh, was dropped off for us, to handle all that new power.

Austin can polish and detail cars to pay for that Powerstroke engine rebuild. 🤷🏽♂️🤷🏽♂️🤷🏽♂️
I start classes at a diesel school this fall for heavy and medium duty truck technology.
Why would they got through all this work and not put a alternate fire cam in to take all that HP stress off the front of the crank
Why no fire rings?
I love this show but I have a question I was wondering why didn't they us the alternate fire camshaft in this Duramax engine
So this is a 2020 Denali?
WTH happened to the Dodge srt10 and F150 comparison??? Is that over??? I was looking forward to more!!!
Why would you pay extra for the Denali trim and then take it off? Plus the clearance lights and blacked out taillights are pure rice. It is a GMC truck not a mid 90s Honda Civic.
I agree with you on the clearance lights but how the hell is blacked out taillights on a truck rice? Personally I prefer clear aftermarket tail and headlights but black is still better than the ugly red/orange markers on the factory ones

Or not.
I am soooooooo going to inform gale about you guys😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
1000hp and doesn't get the block decked...nice
No way thous calibers are owned by the studio they must be the mechanics. Very trusting that they don’t walk off set.
Is he from Louisiana or Brooklyn?
How do I get my truck featured on the show?
It's sad that LT left the show
won't the turbo cause heat problems because it's in the valley? like the BMW's that had that problem
That's where the 7.3s turbo is
a lot of manufacturers have a "hot-V" setup with the turbos in the valley. more advanced heat shields and intercoolers overcome those problems.
Anyone going to point out the legal issue with those cab lights and the fact the truck isn't wide enough for them?
Three center lights means it's wider than 84 inches and the two outer lights are to indicate the maximum loading size. You can have some legal issues from having the three center lights and not being wide enough.
