Was looking forward to this video, now I know what to expect for the install. Thanks!👍
William, thanks for watching!!! Hopefully this helps. It’s not bad. Just don’t drop your socket like me!! Not sure if you are subbed. If not, consider it. Stay tuned for much more coming very soon!
Great video! That loose socket is going to start rattling in the valley and it's going to drive you crazy! Happened to me on my LML. Forgot I lost a 10 mm socket in there and for the life of me I could not figure out where the rattle was coming from till I did my turbo swap. Felt like an idiot lol.
It’s been in there for about 15k miles and I can’t hear it. 💪🏼. Thanks for watching I appreciate it.
Great Video I lost my map sensor had to get a new one. 1000 miles still looking for it lol
Thank you! It’s gone forever. 🤣
Just ordered mine for my 2019 Duramax . So far I have added WC Fab stock air intake pipe (kept stock breather) & the upper radiator hose . More or less following your path
Hell yea! Congrats on the order. If you ever have any questions you can comment here or hit me on Instagram at scottlink_l5p
How much louder is ven turbo after the intake with stock air box??
been doing the electrical tape trick for years. however i will steel the paper towel trick. an pass one on, when a nut or bolt just wont go home, try an close your eyes, i chit you not it works when the temper starts flair up. after many yrs of off road repairs i tend to work under a rig half eyes shut lol.
great work keep it up,
USA
I’ll give that a try!!!!!! I’ve done the eyes closed big before, but only because I didn’t want mud or rust falling in my eyes! Did a ton of off-road if myself with an XJ Cherokee back in the day. Wish I would have started filming back then! Thanks for watching. Merica! 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼

@@linksgarage1985 yes sir, sometimes your just holding your tongue wrong.. oh we all have had to play in the mud.. lets see 79 cj5 78 cj7 88yj 94 cherokee an the 94 4runner ooh and the one that started it all. 82 datsun 4x4. rust and mud convinced me to work blind, for some reason you find a zen when you close em. keep up the great work man... ooooooh have you watched Zipties and biasplies on YT
@@TheDeadwood11 yes sir I sure have. Good channel. And thank you sir. I truly appreciate it!!
Keep doing l5p upgrades got a 19 3500 myself I install that trans thermostat bypass you did a video on works great for hauling my 5th wheel 30 degrees cooler thanks for the info man doing this next
Heck yea! Thanks for tuning in! Glad the auxiliary cooler bypass plug worked for you also. I’m loving mine. Consider subscribing if you haven’t already. Glad I could help! Let me know if you have any questions!
Your a magician for getting that second bolt off man
Like David Copperfield!
@Link’s Garage I'm having a hard time getting it done with hand tools, the swivel socket is a issue for me lol. We're you able to just unscrew the bolt consistently or did you have to keep adjusting every 1/4 turn
@@Below_average_bowler it’s been a couple years ago. I don’t really remember man.
@@linksgarage1985 All good man, thanks anyway! I'll get it... eventually
@linksgarage1985 Today was my 3rd attempt and It's just not possible for me. Gotta find a shop around me. You sir have my respect.
Great video man!
Welcome back slick1ton! Thank you. I appreciate you watching as always!
Getting those AC compressor bolts out and back in was a pain in the ass , especially the back left bolt . Other than that I don’t installing the Intake horn was all that hard . Used the electrical tape trick with the socket and the nuts when I put them on the intake horn . Never lost anything thanks to your tips
Heck yea!!!! Glad it helped! Glad someone could learn from my mistakes! Thanks for watching I appreciate it!!
@@linksgarage1985 I got the hot side pipe out right now . About to install the WC Fab pipe .
@@cole-trickle50 boom! Got vids on that also!
@@linksgarage1985 oh I know I followed that one too . I’m moving over to the cold side and the radiator hose next after the truck cools down . Appreciate all the help !
@@cole-trickle50 for the cold side, I think it’s best to leave the clip all the way installed, lube the crap out of it, and slide it on all at once. On the bottom. And no problem!
Sweet looking truck brother. Really cool to make three hundred subs I know how you fill just did it my self it's a lot for us guys means a lot. Take care👍
Heck yea! Man I appreciate you watching. I’ll keep tuning in for big block action!
Very nice job, thanks...
No problem! Thanks for watching!!!!
Great video
Thanks Wade! I appreciate it!
Great install vid you made it look pretty dam easy compared to all the cursing and swearing that took place for me! LMFAO!!!!! I told you man, these engines love sockets! Drove me nuts till I actually got it back. 👍👍👍
Hopefully I have to do some work that’ll gain me access to it. 😉😉😉. Don’t get me wrong, I dropped some F bombs. I had to edit that shit out! Thanks for watching sir! I should have listened to you! Haha.
Scott Link haha you were warned. As for the turbo whistle noise if you have the radio off and windows up you will hear a very slight audible whistle with the new turbo horn. Out of curiosity Why didn't you opt for the pcv reroute?
@@xlandscaper - after speaking with some folks I have heard of some instances on emissions compliant trucks it can throw a code. It’s as simple as capping the outlet and extended the hose when I go your route. 😃
Scott Link ahh makes sense
pick up some 1/4 swivel magnetic sockets grey 9712umg is a great choice plus some locking extensions
Hell yea! Always looking for some good new tool options. I appreciate it!
Just ordered mine for my 19. My truck is actually deleted but the guy who did it said I didn’t need the horn since I already have an intake. However it seems like it would allow more air flow which results in more power. And any part small or big that will help worth performance then SHIIAAAAT SIGN ME UP 🤣
Not sure how I missed this. Yes you need this!!!!!!!!!
Did you notice anything different by doing this upgrade? I’m looking to do this on my ‘22 L5P that I use for hotshot business and seems like the truck is starving for air. I’m also looking into doing the banks ram air as well. I need my upgrades to work not look good. This is my first Duramax that we bought with 25 miles on it. It’s my new old truck now. Started our hotshot business 6 months ago with 8,700 miles. It just rolled 76k yesterday. The L5P with 10 speed transmission is a beast. Almost every is 25k loads.
Funny you spoke about Duramax like eating sockets. I lost but found and recovered my 10mm with extension twice cleaning my MAP sensor. Once last night which took me forever to find and the first time about 5 months ago. This is a must thing to do. I do this weekly.
Just saw this! I noticed a small difference. Mainly sound. Thanks for watching. I appreciate it!
@@linksgarage1985 thank you sir for answering.
@@screamingeagle9553 no problem. That’s a great mention in the MAP sensor. Most people over look it. Hopefully the hotshot stuff is going well!
@@linksgarage1985 hotshot is going well and since my reply I’m sitting at 91k on the Duramax and about a month ago we purchased a semi so hopefully soon I can make our Duramax into a FUNMAX 😂
🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲 great video!! And 8mm nuts 🤪 😜
Just keep feeding it. Lol give us a update on this when you get a chance to drive it. Interested in throttle response and turbo lag. Plz and thank you.
I will be driving it tomorrow. I will be sure to update you all on if there is any noticeable difference. Thanks for watching!
Love your videos brother! Will this void the warranty by installing? Was wanting to do this, just didn’t want to void the warranty. Thanks again!
Thank you!!! I appreciate you watching! I’ll say this. If I had to take the truck in for warranty work, I’d probably swap the original back in. It doesn’t take that long to do. That being said, it doesn’t write to or modify the ecm. So G.M. would never know it was on the truck. That’s just me. And consider subscribing if you haven’t already. Lots more Duramax content on the channel!
Howdy! So how much performance gains have all your add-ons given you? I’ve got an ‘18 with the BDS 4.5”, with the Derringer and an AFE intake. This horn looks like a great addition. Planning on adding the Banks 5” exhaust too.
It’s very different from stock. Not like a full EGR conversion (if you know what I mean). But yes. Definitely much quicker than factory. The banks kit def woke it up. Haven’t even driven it with the intake horn yet. Got many other projects in the works. I’ll keep you posted! Consider subscribing for much more L5P content coming soon!
Great video! Thanks for the tape tip, never thought of that before. Does the Banks Ram Air not fit all the way into the filter box with this intake horn?
Thank you!!!! And it fit. I didn’t run it long with that set up. But I had no complaints. I appreciate you watching!
@@linksgarage1985 Thanks for the quick response and the information! It looked like in your video at 13:50 the air filter was not fully into the air box. Thanks again, I have enjoyed your L5P content.
@@The_VagabondZ_Jim_N_Amy no problem! I always try to get back with people. Glad to help! That’s the goal.
Just found your videos. Awesome content. I have banks ram air intake. At 13:50 the air filter is sticking out of the housing. Is this because the turbo horn is shorter than the factor? Is that the way the filter has to ride, or is there enough room to move it back into the box. Please let me know because I just ordered the werhli horn. Thank you
To be honest, I only ran the Banks intake with the WC horn for about a week. Then I swapped to the WC intake. I’m not sure if you could make it fit better. The WC turbo horn is about an inch shorter so that creates the condition. Thanks for watching I really appreciate it. Welcome to the channel!
@@linksgarage1985 Thank you for the fast reply!
@@lawnboy4492 not a problem. Thanks for watching!
Nice video sir, question I order boost tubing airintake and horn from banks power. Do you have any problem with the checking a fine light? I’m kinda scare if I end up installing don’t want any issues any tips helps thanks 😊
I don’t have any check engine lights! Thanks for watching. I appreciate it. Good luck!
Nice 👍🇺🇸💪
Hell yea 20th sub. Merica!! Thanks for watching!! 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼
Will that part alone increase sound? Do you have the factory exhaust?
Honestly I’m not sure. I did intake horn, cold side, hot side intercooler piping, and intake all at once. And I didn’t really drive it until this week. And no, I have a 5 inch Banks monster exhaust. DPF back. I took some sound clips the past couple days from inside the truck. I’ll try to make a video and get it up of that soon. Thanks for watching! Consider subbing if you haven’t already!
Noticeable whistle and power gain? And is your truck stock? Beautiful truck btw. Is it worth it with the cai?
Thanks. And there is a definite power and sound difference. Although, I basically did hot side, cold side, turbo horn, and intake all at the same time. So I’m not really sure what components contributed to the noises and power the most. I appreciate you watching!
Why no reroute? Do you have to tune it?
@@aydenaydenm87 - I was told by WC that there is a potential for it to throw a code of it wasn’t tuned. So I opted for this route. In the event it gets tuned, you can just cap it, and re route the hose. No biggie. Thanks for watching! I appreciate it!
Does it make the turbo more load in side the truck or outside?
Yes it does.
Did you notice a loud scouring sucking sound after install? I have this loud sucking noise anytime I get into the throttle and boost builds up. To the point I hear it over thr radio when the windows are up. It's an obnoxious sound. I've checked my clamps on the banks Ram Air and see no where for air to leak by. Is it the air rushing by the air gaps at the end of the intake horn?
A noise that noticeable sounds like it may be a boost leak. When I had just the intake horn and the Banks ram air, I did not have any noise like that. It did however make a slightly noticeable woooosh sound when in the boost. It didn’t get loud for me until I switched to the WC fab intake with the WC fab intake horn.
@@linksgarage1985 I had thr Banks Ram air with resonator delete on the truck for 4 month prior to adding the intake horn last Thursday. So the sound started after the install for the intake horn. But not initially, about an hour into a 3 hr drive its started and hasn't stopped since. I've checked all the intake hose clamps that I've had apart and nothing is loose. When pulling my Turbo S 4 seat on a trailer on a decent grade I seen 26.5 psi of boost, on my iDash. So it's still building boost, just and obnoxious sound I never had before when getting into the boost
@@cfawver25 hmmm. I would just double check your studs and nuts on the intake horn, your clamp on the PCV port (if you have one) the boots, hose clamps, and even the one at the filter itself. Other than that, not much else there is to check. Best of luck! Sorry I couldn’t help.
@@linksgarage1985 thank for the great install videos and tips, as well as the speedy responses!!! I'll check them tomorrow
Please keep up the great content!
@@cfawver25 no problem. I’m here to help. Thank you for watching!!
Did it give you better throttle response?
Honestly, I am currently working on another project at the moment and haven’t even driven it. Just pulled out of the garage. I’ll drive it this week and update you!
Hey man did your mileage increase any with it?
Well, I’ve only driven it about 10 miles since the install. So I can’t say. Once I have some miles on it I’ll make an update video for everyone!
How did the banks intake do ?
Fantastic.
What part of the country are you in
Kentucky 💪🏼🇺🇸💪🏼🇺🇸
As for the socket, it'll be found sooner or later lol
Damn man! I know. My damn heart stopped when it dropped! As always I appreciate you tuning in!
@@linksgarage1985 its crazy how they find the best spots to hide lol and its always the 10mm and 13mm that get lost
@@rickg-funk3144 - well. Live and learn. But yes. The damn things always disappear!
You notice any difference with that ?
Yes.
Does this upgrade void warranty?
Doesn’t write to the ECM, so I don’t think so. Plus, if you ever need to take it in for warranty work, Just swap it back. No biggie. Thanks for watching!
Does your stock truck need tuned for this, and whats the benefits of installing this part?
No. With the PCV port no tuning is required. Tuning is recommended with a PCV reroute. I’ve heard guys running re route on non tuned trucks with no issues. But it’s not recommended. And this increases airflow from the restrictive factory turbo horn to the 3.5 inch design. Also picked up a bit of whistle in my truck also. Thanks for watching and consider subbing of you haven’t already. More good L5P content on the channel!
Thanks for the info, just subscribed. I am currently doing all of this to my truck. Was considering buying the horn but I am eventually going to delete and tune. With that said is buying the horn a good idea or wait until the truck is tuned and buy the horn with the reroute?
@@tcgt04 glad to have you here! If you decide to go that route, all you have to do is buy a PCV extension tube and cap the port with a plug. Up to you sir.!
Awesome so I can go ahead and buy the intake horn now and when its tuned just modify it a bit. Thank you sir. Pretty sure we have the same truck, 2019 Silverado 2500. Mine is the midnight edition blacked the hell out.
@@tcgt04 yep. That’s mine 2. 2019 midnight. All blacked out!! Welcome to GM the channel. If you ever need anything hit me up here or on Instagram @scottlink_l5p thanks for watching! Glad to help!
Is it deleted
No
Do you have issues with transmission acting funny with the new horn? When I installed mine it made the trans act up
Absolutely zero issues.
@@linksgarage1985 well wth. 🤔
Hey Bro, i have same Truck. Can you pls. let me know if that mod. allows the engine to cool or at least not over heat. Thanks
This mod does not aid in overheating. If you have an L5P that is overheating, there is another issue somewhere. Best of luck! Thanks for watching I appreciate it!
Delete that thing bro, trust me. I'm getting 17 mpg in my 2017 on average and 21 on the freeway without even trying
There is a plan sir. 😀
