Great install video! I used your previous install video to do this on my new AT4 with only about 500 miles on it. I’m at ~1800 miles now and I love it. Your videos have been a great help with all the mods I’ve done, really appreciate the time you take putting these together!
Thank you this is one of the most helpful, detail!! , informative UA-cam install instruction I’ve ever seen thanks all the hesitation out of buying this kit thank you!!
I appreciate the kind words ! If you have any further questions during the install, you can hit me up - Also, You can pick one up from our site when ready : www.demonworkshop.com/products/ppe-charge-air-cooler-intercooler-kit-3-0-duramax-diesel-lm2-lz0
Great video! Thanks for all the effort to show every step. This video is going to be a huge help for my install. I can't wait to hear the benefits and what you about it long term. Also looking forward to the catch can install.
Starting to watch this video and it reminded me of an aluminum VSE catch can. Is this something that we as LZ0 owners might want? Your thoughts of if it’s really needed.
That random extra nut would drive me crazy. Where did the factory fail to install it?? Great video! In your opinion, what's the risk of voiding the warranty with this part?
Every brand new car I've ever bought has had at least one extra fastener left laying around. Sometimes in the engine compartment and other times in the interior. If you dig around enough you'll find them. The reality is the people at the plant work so fast that if they drop a fastener they don't bother to pick it up. Doesn't mean that it didn't get installed, just an extra one was grabbed when that one slipped out of their hand during the build process.
@@StephenPaul1160Fair enough. The same inattention to pick up a stray fastener is the same inattention that could lead to one not being installed. But yeah, stuff happens.
Very informational video. I don’t have a 3.0 yet, I am still trying to decide if I’m going to buy one or not. The oil burning factor has me a bit concerned. Love watching your videos you know a lot about these motors!
I'm at 14000 miles (23 LZ0) and 4000 miles since last oil change, I did add half a quart somewhere around 6000 miles, but I have not lost any oil since 4000 miles ago. I think a lot of oil usage may occur when under heavy load and at this time I have not towed anything.
I have a Denali 3.0 that just got scheduled for production. I’m not concerned about the oil consumption. Will just keep a quart or 2 in truck with spare DEF
For what it’s worth, I have a 2023 Silverado, just over a year old with the LZ0 and no issues. Does not burn any oil during normal driving and 5000 mile oil change intervals. But when I tow a heavy 30 foot brick of a wall RV, I do burn some, which is normal. But after I unhitch it, no issues again. Love mine. I’ve got 16,000 miles and no issues and up to 40mpg at 60 mph on a flat highway. The only thing you need to worry about happened to me today. Went for an oil change at the Chevy dealer and they put in the wrong oil. It was 0-20 but not Dexos D. I caught it, challenged them and they admitted to the screw up and redid the oil change. The D costs more, that was my clue and when the parts manager ran the vin for parts needed, he confirmed it was the wrong oil. I guess D is not that common, at least at this dealer.
I’m at 110 000 km on mine and had the charge air cooler replaced twice under warranty. First time at 40 k and then just after we rolled over 100 k. Both times both my coolant reservoirs were almost empty. Both times the dealer filled them after the work was done. I suggested to them maybe there is another issue …. Nothing to see here. I had the hood up the other day and noticed the coolant low in the reservoir again …. Sigh …. Just waiting for an engine light ….
I know this question doesn't pertain to this video but would replacing the intake tube and deleting the turbo resonator help increase my fuel economy? I noticed on warmer days 40 and above my economy is great (29mpg combined numbers up and back) and whenever the ambient air temp is below 25 it drinks the fuel (24 mpg combined). I do 100 miles a day for work and any advice to get an edge would be greatly appreciated.
Great video I ordered mine from hill diesel can't wait for the red to come back in stock . Question do you know if the oil pan will fit on a 2021 tahoe and if there is an exhaust for the tahoe anywhere I am having a hard time finding anything
More consistent air intake temps. Meaning you won't get as bad heat soak to the intake charge air. Probably worth it if you live in a hotter climate or do a lot of towing/heavy load driving. Also it looks awesome in that wrinkle red!
Oh, forgot to add, one of the tuners (dont remember who) said that as intake charge temps go up, the stock ECU will pull power to compensate. A better intercooler will help prevent this hopefully.
These look cool but are spendy. Do you have any data that proves there’s any real benefit to swapping this in for the stock one? I remember seeing a previous video with your last truck but I don’t know that it proved anything conclusively.

That rogue "spare" nut found in the same spot on 2 different trucks!
I couldn't remember if I actually recorded that or not. Great memory !
Your workup videos are awesome man. Love how you take your time and talk it through.
I appreciate that!
Excellent video, great upgrade!
Nice job and it looks awesome much improved!

Can’t wait to do this to my truck!
thank you for all your informative videos.

Fantastic video. Are the benefits worth the cost of the parts?

I have a 2022.5 AT4 that has a code for the crankcase pressure sensor. Would this be accessible through the removal of the intercooler and resonator?
Does this void any factory warranties?
No it does not
Ask the dealer not Bob on UA-cam.
Im installing a VSE catch can and am going to just replace the air cooler. Is that a bleeder on top of the oem one. the black phillips head ?
What’s the demonworks discount for this ?. 😀😀
A discount code would be awesome. Share the love with the rest of the demonwork family
Are you gonna be getting the vse turbo very curious how that’s going to perform
I do not plan on it at this time.
Did you already get rid of your old charge cooler setup?
Yes, moved on to a new red one.
@@DemonWorks right, was seeing if you were going to offer the other one up for sale, or if it was gone already!

Mine doesn't burn any oil 2024 w/ 5000 miles
Is that a foam cover under that mounting bracket? If so, do you reckon its there more for noise than heat insulation?
It is foam, I believe it is there more for sound than insulation.

Great video I ordered mine from hill diesel can't wait for the red to come back in stock . Question do you know if the oil pan will fit on a 2021 tahoe and if there is an exhaust for the tahoe anywhere I am having a hard time finding anything
Did you get your part from Hill Diesel? I want to order mine but seems like a scam
@@cesarcoronado4663 yep got it from hill great prices and fast delivery. Really good company if you call them they sometimes give a better price
What benefits is there in this swap ?
More consistent air intake temps. Meaning you won't get as bad heat soak to the intake charge air. Probably worth it if you live in a hotter climate or do a lot of towing/heavy load driving. Also it looks awesome in that wrinkle red!
It does look good.

Too bad GM voids the warranty.
Thanks for the info. You seem like you know a lot. My 3.0 LZ0 has 840 miles. I notice the oil on the dip stick is really black. Is that normal?
Is PPE still working on a catch can? I saw where VSE has one that's set to release this month.
I created my own catch can and I’m already seeing results after less than 100miles. I’m curious to see what a company will release
What results are you seeing? @gasparsperformance9841
@cje26 Yes, There is a huge chance I have one in my hands in the next week or two.
@@DemonWorks I'd love to see a side-by-side of the PPE and VSE systems
@@DemonWorks I’ve been having great results so far, I’ve gotten a good amount of oil trapped in the oil catch can so far.
I have around 4200 miles on my lzo, when should i do the oil change?
I just changed mine at 4200 because of all the videos I seen say it is better to change it more often than what Gm says.
I’m at 900 miles now gonna change mine at 1500 miles
Any update on the derringer for the 3.0 LM2?
They have alternative projects with higher priority, as of right now, it's not looking good.
These look cool but are spendy. Do you have any data that proves there’s any real benefit to swapping this in for the stock one?
I remember seeing a previous video with your last truck but I don’t know that it proved anything conclusively.
