Duramax Build Part 14: Putting the Cab Back onto the Frame
In this video, I give you guys a quick status update on the progress I've made in the last couple of months. I am still in the middle of what feels like an eternity of bodywork! At least I have the cab painted in all the right spots and it is finally ready to be installed back onto the frame.

I am glad i found your videos on this build! You saved me a lot of time! Im doing the exact same thing as you, just a K20. l spent a whole week trying to fit oem and aftermarket sheetmetal, and at best, its a 6.5 out of 10. But in my experience, thats a 10 lol. Ive done others with similar results. I don't know how it could even be, but even with the left door slid back all the way, and 1/8 inch shims under the hinge, it still doesn't come back far enough. I ended up filling in the rear door frame to close gap to an acceptable amount! OEM door even. I might get mine done before yours! 😅
Yeah man, I keep telling myself this isn’t a concourse level show truck.. just need to make it nice enough! I got the driver door close enough and I’m 4hrs in and nearly out of shims 😂. Good luck on your build!
@@richphippsgarage thank you! It's been a lot of ups and downs, and mine definitely not going to be a show truck, but it's hard to draw the line when to stop getting it better. Thanks again for the real world video content on this build. Again you saved me a lot of time, and gave me a lot of knowledge!
I'm so glad lmc is only an hr away lol
I’d be bankrupted immediately if I was that close!! 😂
@richphippsgarage I'll order stuff and just go pick it up lol. Still takes 3 days to get here so why not get same day lol
So I'm gonna assume that you did a complete delete and not just the front. The delete kit from the website allows you to keep air shocks in the back but still have to delete the magnaride.
Nope. We just did the fronts and left the air shocks on the rear
@@richphippsgarage I understand the airshock portion but the rear are both airshock/magnaride. You can delete the magnaride while still keeping the airshock according to the website they'll send you AC Delco airshocks without the magnaride. If I'm wrong please let me know because I can't seem to find the relay/ plugs/switches to delete only the front. I only see the OBD2 plug that deletes both front and back
Iput 17 on mine cheaper tires wheels i bought new not in the hood
😂 nice
Hello, I was analyzed your YT channel and I saw that in your channel have some problems, that's why your channel is not growing. Your videos is not reaching to targeted people, not getting engagement. Do you want to know these problems? If you can give me permission I can tell here, . Where Can I tell? here or email? I can tell anywhere if you want to gain!!./...
Welcome back, it's been a while, you're doing a good job. I've gotten my Duramax rebuilt and running good. Your engine build video was a good resource.
Thanks Richard and congrats on getting your rig up and running! Glad I could help out!
a 110Volt fan you can use if known as a Muffin fan used in computer servers. , Put into a cake pan the size of the cooler to blow through the cooler , a coil in the line helps with vibration induced cracking in the line
I've recently installed the heat exchanger identical to yours. Funny enough, my first project is a 77 k10. Any tips/ suggestions before teardown?
Awesome! And yes, don’t throw anything away!!!! It’s super easy to say “nah I’ll just get a new one of these…” and then you realize they don’t make them anymore 😂! These trucks are great and good luck on your project!
@richphippsgarage 25+ years Auto Body technician. If I am good at anything, it's losing parts. :) But yes, well noted. If I may suggest? The under frame portions a can if raptor guard after Ospho would be easy. Keep up the videos, man. Can't wait till it's done.
One last thing I forgot to mention. I've purchased 2x AN -8 female fittings and 4x brass 1/2" compression rings. I intended on using the AN'S for the heater exchanger and 1 brass ring on each outlet from the compressor with OG fittings. My question is, should I or shouldn't I flare/double flare any of the connections? I've tested and have worries with enough threads.
@@knightbro2003 sorry I was confused at first, didn’t realize you were talking about the compressor video! I reused the original fittings on the pump outlet and the tank inlet. I looked at the old tubing to see what kind of a flare to put in it but I do remember flaring the new stuff to match.
@richphippsgarage awesome! Thank you very much. Sorry for the confusion. Dry air is crucial for my future business. Hydrodip is very finicky. Thanks again.
Still first!
Caught you snoozing that time! 😂
If you want bone dry air you must run your air tru a A/C dryer (not the silica bottle) Your intercooler Air Cooler inside a A/C BOX
A little Sil Glyde or Red & Tacky never hurts. I put that stuff on everything! 😁
Awesome glad you got it
First!
Prime 1st or shoot a light mist n see if it reacts
As long as u got material Keep trying!
This is rad, very well done! None of the other videos I’ve seen have gone into the extension shaft assembly properly! Incidentally I forgot my snap ring at the synchro on my last attempt somehow and trashed a couple things so your video has been hugely helpful for seeing what parts I need
Hey @matthewsmotorsport, thanks for watching! I’m stoked that the video helps you out and good luck with your rebuild!
First
Would those shocks fit a 2015 tahoe ppv?
Awesome build . I got a 77 c20 I’m rebuilding the entire front suspension and steering components now . I got a 467 built by mark jones and tremec tkx 5 speed . I’m not doing as in depth rebuild as you are but doing a full mechanical rebuild . I painted my frame with Eastwood rust encapsulater . Thanks for the video
Thanks! Man that sounds like a healthy powertrain. I have an OBS Chevy with a 408 mated to a T56 and it is wild! (Well not currently since it’s taken apart 😂) good luck on your build!
Excellent series!! Following this build as template for my ratish rod idea. Picked up an LBZ yesterday still have a lot to figure out lol.
Thanks, hopefully my videos can help you out! A Dmax powered rat rod sounds badass. Are you going with a squarebody?
@@richphippsgarage 57 Pontiac Chieftain. Has the perfect patina.
Very cool! With the LBZ, that car is gonna go through some tires lol!
What engine stand are you using with that DMAX?
It’s a 2000lb capacity engine stand from Jegs. Here is the link: www.jegs.com/i/JEGS/555/80042/10002/-1
@@richphippsgarage thank you much!!!
Did you do a video on rebuilding the Allison, would like to see that.
Hey Travis, no unfortunately I did not shoot a ton of video during the trans work.. mostly because I have no idea of what magic is going on inside of that thing 😂
@richphippsgarage Same here, I've done 350 and 400 , don't know if I can tackle a Allison. Love the build great job.
I have a c20 im doing a 4x4 swap
Nice! Thanks for watching Tony, and good luck on your project!
Refrigerated cooler works ,600 bucks and you eliminated all that stuff
Shoot me a link! Curious how much it flows?
What kind of flare nuts did you use? My compressor uses 3/4” OD copper tubing. I ordered 3/4” OD flare nuts off Amazon and my connection points are 3/4” NPT and they do not match up.
Could you put the hole conversion together as a drop in to send to Australia cheers
Well that takes all the fun out of figuring it out as you go! And besides, if there was a drop in option I would’ve bought it already!
You could of bought a dryer that works for the money n time you waisted
Ready for many more miles of abuse! Well done!
Thanks Greg! Should be ready for the track!
thank you for posting this.. best video out there
Thanks! Glad that it helps!
First!
😎 Bill is the bondo king you know? he should come help 😂 😝
So I made essentially this same setup, same IR compressor as well(175psi). But instead of running a single filter after the Derale radiator I ran a 3 stage Nanpu set from Amazon. Filter, coalescing then desiccant dryer then into the tank. Within 3 seconds of turning it out the 1st filter stage of the Nanpu blew apart. Looks like three of the metal lugs holding the bowl cannister on had just sheared off. The cannister flew down and smashed into the floor with all the plastic parts busting everywhere. Dented the metal cannister also and a small piece of something had flown by my head. I think it was one of the lugs. My first thought was that the nanpu, which I'm sure is cheap chinese pot metal, had a stress fracture in it. My second thought was that having all three stages inline created to much back pressure and the 1st stage gave way. I am using 1/2" NPT so the lines are big enough. It was probably a combo of those two items. My goal was to have the air as dry as possible going into the tank. But when I replumb it I think I'll go with just a 1st stage filter/regulator and put the coalescing and desiccant filters after the tank. Also, posted this as a warning to anyone else trying it. Take precautions when starting it up the first time with any modifications, like turning it on from the break far away from the compressor! ha.
Wow that’s pretty scary! Glad you escaped injury! Honestly there is very little moisture in my tank when I drain it so you should be good to go with the majority of the filtration after the tank.
liked and subbed....great job brother!!! i have been hunting for quality filter for ages...
Thank you and I appreciate the sub!
those trucks have maybe 3.08 gears , they are not towers ............ with 32" tires they should have at least 3.73 axle gears to be able to pull
Transmissions have sure changed since the 60's. I rebuilt Aluminum Power Glides, Torque Flights, C4's and other simple transmissions. Cost was $250.00 ea. and I normally did 2 everyday. Great Video....
Thanks Charles! This is my first transmission rebuild so it’s definitely a learning experience. Thanks for watching and let me know if I mess anything up!
First!
Undefeated!
I wish you could have been a bit more through about wiring the power supply. Did you wire in both “Line” outputs and switch the power supply to 220V?. I ask because the Power supply is marked “line” and “neutral” and a 240v circuit that would power a compressor does not have a neutral.
Yessir. I wired it up with both “line” inputs and ensured the power supply was selected to 220V. I actually go over the electrical in detail in the second video. Thanks for watching! czcams.com/video/-3V5IRXn8To/video.htmlsi=AN-Q-z73oYnDvbOc
For anybody wondering, the Duramax weighs about 1000lbs with all accessories, and the Allison 1K weighs about 350lbs, so combo weighs about 1300-1400 lbs. A Small block & automatic weighs about 760lbs all together. Getting ready to put an LMM/1K combo into my wife's 80 Suburban, nice work!
Thanks for the additional info and good luck on your swap project! A dmax swapped burb will certainly turn some heads!
Ready to see some more videos on the duramax. Where ya been
I’m working on it Mudd Dawg! Been wrapped up in other projects lately but more is coming!
Do you have a link to the connectors used with the aluminum fuel line? Would I lose a lot of cooling using a 1/2" air compressor hose instead of the aluminum tubing?
I also would like to know. Have all the parts, just stuck on this aspect.
@@DaveM2 I wouldn’t use regular air compressor hose anywhere between the pump and the tank. The air is way too hot coming out of the compressor and I’m pretty sure the hose would fail and burst 😬
@@richphippsgarage That makes sense. Thanks
bring on episode 2!
Great video! Will you please help me figure out the connections to the head and tank. I saw in a previous comment you used compression fittings. I have watched many videos on after coolers and can’t seem to figure out these connections. Some used compression and some use flare etc. I guess what I need to know is what type of threads are on the head and tank. Is it common pipe thread? I am looking at buying a 5HP 60 gal dewalt. If the head and the tank inlet is female pipe thread then it should be easy enough to get a male pipe thread to compression fitting. Am I on the right track? Thank you for the great video and your help!
Also, what connectors did you use on the oil cooler. Looks like on the top one 8an to 1/2” compression but on the bottom one it goes straight to the water trap. What did you use there? I am guessing 8an to 1/2” mpt?
Shoot just remembered one last thing. On the wiring from the pressure switch to the AC to DC what type of wire did you use. I am assuming it’s a low amp draw so 8ga is overkill?
Hey Todd! I’m pretty sure I reused the original fittings on the head and tank which were flared fittings. I had to cut the flares off the get the fittings off. I just made sure I bought the same diameter tube so I could reuse them.. so you’ll need a flare tool. For the cooler fittings I think I used AN to NPT and then NPT to compression fitting. The moisture separator is NPT. You should be good to go with 12awg for the wiring to the AC/DC converter. I hope that helps!
First?
First!!
@@richphippsgarage yaaaaaaaaaaas
What about drying the air before it enters the compressor.
Have a 2016 escalade. I used the warranty I bought to fix thr shocks 3 times, all 4. Now my rears, which always seem to go first, have started up. Now my warranty is up and I want to put a 4-4.5 inch lift that won't push out my front wheels.
What fuel system is this?
The tank and pickup are stock replacements for squarebody trucks that had the 6.2 diesel. I am a little concerned that the pickup tube may be undersized for the dmax but I still need to do some testing on it.
Can you provide more information on the mag delete upfront? Did the system still work in the rear? I don’t want lights on in the dash..
Great Video. Is the little arm that moves the unison ring supposed to be hard to move by hand?
If it is still connected to the plunger, it may be hard to rotate (because you’re moving the plunger back and forth) but if it’s disconnected it should rotate freely.
Super informative video man. Thanks!
Glad I could help!
