Josh, Ford sells a diesel sealant TA-31. Use it on this engine. It is the best out there. It is made by Loctite. Gray in color. It was developed for turbo diesel engines. I use it on diff covers, water pumps, intake, etc. 40 years of wrenching experience and nothing is better.... just my educated .02. It is about $20 a tube at the dealership.
I used to work for Ford on the diesels and I will agree. It is the best stuff I have ever used to seal an engine. Once I get around to resealing my front cover and oil pan on my Cummins I'll be using this stuff.
I know you like Duramax diesels. It is cool to see you get excited over building a Cummins. Would be cool to hear your opinions of any Cummins strong points over a Duramax as you tear into this engine and learn more about it.
I've heard some early Cummins engines had a loud combustion, which made them very loud engines. Apparently they re-designed the pistons and injector injection rates to make them quieter and more powerful. I remember the article but I found the information while researching my noisy 2000 5.9.
I'm gonna be buying my FIRST DURMAX in three weeks. I found a hell of a deal on an 06 WHITE CREW CAB SHORT BED z71 4X4 FULLY LOADED LBZ!!! Gonna be doing all the upgrades I went through it FOLLOWING your advice man!!! Thank you so much I about got "gotten" on an 07 LBZ.... He almost got me with blown head gaskets for 8 grand I knew something was up... But man I'm so excited!!!!!
But the good 1/2” impact to get from HF is the Earthquake. No lie on the torque rating. It’s a Milwaukee clone. Took a Lunette ring off a 15 ton trailer, those 7” long 3/4” bolts. AvE has a good tear down review on those too.
Can't believe your working with Miller engine. Matt just built my bottom end on my lbz restoration that I started because of your channel what a crazy small world.
Hello from Canada! New subscriber and first time Duramax owner here (bone stock 2002 Silverado 2500 HD). Great channel, great content and I love your enthusiasm! I agree with the others. I think the Cummins is going to be blue as well!
Those r common rail rods. I personally never seen those in a 24v. They usually all have the 12v/ 24v fractured rods witch r better then cr rods. I even seen fractured in some 03 cr. I just put rods from a 24v in my 04.5
Love this build series. Keep up the good work. I say the truck will be some sort of blue to make your fleet (wife max and your truck) some MURICA colors. 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Truckmaster...I dont comment much. Thanks for the informative videos. Because of you I bought kryptonite upper control arms and lower ball joints. 2015 Sierra 2500(gm weak points). Semper Fi. Keep it up. 👍💯
Olive drab green or whatever its called. Like army color. Since it's private pyle. Maybe even a big star on the hood or side somewhere????? With some black rims.
I wish more people would share videos of motor work because they all post “builds” but the truck is complete and most likely done by someone else. I wanna learn about the motors.
If you're doing the red,white, blue. The screaming skull which it's like 3d with the American flag 😁 that would look bad azz. Look on screen savers you'll see what l am saying.
what do you think would be a better rebuild project, duramax or a cummins? I prefer duramax but since they aren't in as many trucks I think parts will be harder to find. Cummins do have their pros, but they're just so darn heavy. My goal is 1000 pound-feet of torque and 500-700 hp.
Mine 91.5 dodge was six in a row under the hood when I had a new Hamilton cams head put on a stage two head close to 500,000 miles still had crosshatching the cylinder walls could hardly feel any ridge at all in the Sonder I mean you could barely feel it that’s good Amsoil can do for you anyway but you do you do a nice job hey listen while you’re at it go online and learn how to build which is real simple or waste oil heater you can use an old woodstove and it’s real simple are you go through a lot of used oil I’m sure
i will have to watch the how to maintain a Duramax. no way you are running 15W-40 oil because even at 25F cold start my LMM makes a lot a noise for a few minutes, so after that it always gets "plugged up" when the temp is 40F and colder even at work.
Great video buddy! I am currently in the process of swapping an Eaton 5 speed on my 5.9 Cummins. An Allison 545 was mated to it originally, I just noticed my rear output shafts are different. I ended up on your video to see how the crankshaft is set up and if the end of it is removable. Since you didn’t remove the crank, my question didn’t get answered. Is the back of the crankshaft built into it or is it removable?! 💛💚💜🤘🏻
If it’s too much I live here in Pa, considering you’re getting it sent here, I can come pick it up for you and drop it off and when it gets done for cheaper than your shipping is 😂
I think what about you turn old red Duramax to Black again because that was a badass color and turn the that Cummins diesel black too and both trucks look badass in the dark
Love the vids. My lly head gaskets just went out. I can’t afford to pay someone to do it. If I study your vid for a couple of days you think anyone could do it?
Love your videos great content please dont paint it destroyer gray i am redoing a 97 extended cab cummins and i am painting it destroyer gray. On the flip side keep up the great work
Hey euro 1 stickers are out of stock I want to buy one but I don’t want to buy the stuff in so I can buy that sticker the one that says diesel it’s red and get the smoke coming off of it
Don’t get a cheap after market oil pan!!! Some cheaper pans have a painted or coated interior where the oil sits and the oil breaks down the stuff they put on the pan and it’ll get sucked into your pickup tube and you’ll drop oil pressure
I'm 15 and I really want to do a 24v rebuild, my dad is a diesel mechanic and I have a lot of friends who own there own trucks and do all their maintenance so I have resources if I need them, however I can't really source a good engine Does anyone know where I can find a good engine ready for a rebuild, also if you have any advice I'm more than willing to accept it

It was tough to see it due to the camera angle but I almost dropped the head 🤦♂️😂
Should weighed the head 🤣looked heavy for sure lol
Good way to screw your back up ! Ask me how i know!
When you moved that head I was like " Yeah shes heavy lol"
Nope it wasn't hard to see. Ha I was waiting to hear the thing hit the floor. Nice save.
😂
Well let's see
Your truck=RED
Wifemax=WHITE
Cummins = BLUE
If my theory is correct 👍
I was getting ready to say this
Factory color Patriot blue!
I think the truck is going to be blue so u have red white and blue trucks
That would be cool!
MERICA
Bingo exactly what I was thinking

I only have about 5 years experience but I second that. Best diesel sealant out there hands down

I gotta think you’re gonna go with blue for the Cummins cause you’re a true patriot and that would complete the colors of our great flag!!!

who doesn’t love a loud diesel tho?
@@jasonportillo2717diesels are supposed to be loud😂
The louder they are, the better they are!😂
I'm loving this build series, seeing it all torn apart is really cool.
Thanks
I believe you could actually but a truck from the ground up. Wow and working through the cold now that's commitment and a love.
Thanks
Glad you didnt throw out your back when you picked up the head. 🤣🤣

Can’t beat a Cummins 🤘🏻🚂
all that boost and abuse those cylinders looked beautiful, the crank was so clean, very cool

It is Milwaukee just goof brand, like Ford is to Lincoln
Your red duramax needs clevis's on the bumpers.

Those aren't burn marks on the back of the bearings. Those rod bearings looked awesome! 5.9 Cummins is God's chosen engine.
You should paint it that dark green, I think it was the best color option for second gens
Truckmaster...I dont comment much. Thanks for the informative videos. Because of you I bought kryptonite upper control arms and lower ball joints. 2015 Sierra 2500(gm weak points). Semper Fi. Keep it up. 👍💯
That’s awesome man thanks 🇺🇸
Finally somebody actually know what a Cummins engine is on CZcams
Thanks
No thank you
My dad and I have this thing about diesel and no one on CZcams could ever find out what it is except you
Olive drab green or whatever its called. Like army color. Since it's private pyle. Maybe even a big star on the hood or side somewhere????? With some black rims.
Blue. That way you have red, white and blue trucks
Gonna have some major money into this thing
Your
Telling me 😂
It looked like that cylinder head made you grunt a bit :) Great video!!
😂
Paint it blue and line them up!! RED WHITE and BLUE 🇺🇸
That’s a Cummins for built for anything no matter what you throw at them!
I enjoyed your video, I will be waiting for the video assembling back this engine
Nice one 👍🏻 this Cummins engine is in a really good shape !
👍
Cummins blue,wifemax white an truckmaster red 🤙💯
I wish more people would share videos of motor work because they all post “builds” but the truck is complete and most likely done by someone else. I wanna learn about the motors.
My cummins when I pulled the head at 288k still had cross hatching and pistons still looked great
Go great with the black and get your windows tinted it make it more cooler
If you're doing the red,white, blue. The screaming skull which it's like 3d with the American flag 😁 that would look bad azz. Look on screen savers you'll see what l am saying.
Well you’ve got red and white so I’m saying it’s gonna be a blue truck.
You better get that Dodge in blue, for red white and blue lol
What bolts did you use to mount the Cummings on the stand and what stand
You gotta lift those rafters in the garage dude . I just had it done at my garage along with the door. What a difference
I’m really considering it
@@TruckMaster I’ll PM you on Instagram my before and after me
Pray for you I was praying for your back lol. Super cool content as always.
😂 thanks
Gun metal grey would look nice on the truck or a dark navy blue so you can have a red white and blue fleet 🇺🇸
Impact with a chrome socket, nice👍🏼
You need Harbor freight's Earthquake 1/2" impact.Now that thing is a beast!
Black would look sweet!
what do you think would be a better rebuild project, duramax or a cummins? I prefer duramax but since they aren't in as many trucks I think parts will be harder to find. Cummins do have their pros, but they're just so darn heavy. My goal is 1000 pound-feet of torque and 500-700 hp.
Need to get an adapter plate and bolt you up a allison 6 speed up to that cummins then you'd really have beast.
For freight when I ship motors and stuff I use yrc freight
Thanks
BLUE... but not just any.. blue... 1965 Dodge Barracuda Blue....!!!
The new deep blue! On the new ram!
I think you should deliver that engine to PA yourself, because I am only about 2 hours from them and it would be fun to meet you lol
Why don’t you run fender liners? I noticed both Duramax’s have them removed still.
I just need to install them 👍
@@TruckMaster ah word. I wasn’t sure, thought maybe it was a winter time thing? Lol. We don’t have a winter in SoCal 😂
Mine 91.5 dodge was six in a row under the hood when I had a new Hamilton cams head put on a stage two head close to 500,000 miles still had crosshatching the cylinder walls could hardly feel any ridge at all in the Sonder I mean you could barely feel it that’s good Amsoil can do for you anyway but you do you do a nice job hey listen while you’re at it go online and learn how to build which is real simple or waste oil heater you can use an old woodstove and it’s real simple are you go through a lot of used oil I’m sure
Color of the Cummins would look sick with the newer maroon looking color, the color like on dirtymax Jack's newer cummins.
Thanks
@@TruckMaster you're welcome. I love that color on those dodges like his.
Very cool to see the internals on the 5.9
That crank is pretty substantial. It reminded me of one from a 454 BBC.
What are the journal diameters ?
Just checked these on the inter web in comparison. The 5.9 crank journals (rod and mains) are ~ 20% larger than the BBC cranks. Woah
Clearly you have made me a gas lover after your last duramax video.....I owned 3 and your Cummins video looks like Cummins might be a better motor?
Cummins is a stronger engine but the ram truck isn’t built like a Chevy
i will have to watch the how to maintain a Duramax. no way you are running 15W-40 oil because even at 25F cold start my LMM makes a lot a noise for a few minutes, so after that it always gets "plugged up" when the temp is 40F and colder even at work.
Maroon! That will look so awesome
With Victory Max having the 68mm RDS turbo and the Cummins now going to be compound turbo are you planning on doing trans tuning??
Nice tear down. Those engines are great.
Thanks
Where is the link to miller's engine company?
I think a two tone green and blue would look good
Paint it Gun Metal!
Don't hurt yourself man lol, we need you to keep posting
Roger that
Keep a Mopar a Mopar! Choose plum crazy hemi orange or sassy grass green!
why dont you do a high output vp from thoroughbred diesel? its way more tunable and controllable
Great video buddy!

Hmm I build inline 6 engines for a company, and the short block after crank and pistons is over 1 ton
What kind of oil he use looks good!
I'm thinkin a nice dark earthy green up top, with a beige/tan on the lower body.
Looking forward to the rest of this build brother
Great video! Quick question how long do you wait for your lbz to warm up in the winter time and in the summer time?
I wait until the glow plug light turns off but I cycle it twice
I think what about you turn old red Duramax to Black again because that was a badass color and turn the that Cummins diesel black too and both trucks look badass in the dark
I like your thinking
@@TruckMaster cool
It Well be fun
Thanks
I think it’s going to be black that would definitely looks good👌🏻

Blue. Then you got all three colors
Still have that VP timing gear? Im in need of one 😅
What engine stand are you using ?
Just curious, but what brand and weight of oil your brother-in-law use in that Cummins?
What's the Husky Chainsaw in the back?

Your injectors will have to be re-popped for p pump pressure. That’s going to be an epic build
