It is a pleasure for me to watch your videos and not only observe the mechanical skills and knowledge you possess, but also your demeanor as you cope and resolve the issues and difficulties associated with your profession.
Thank you!!
Great video and great content all around. I really appreciate men like you sharing your knowledge and experience with weekend warriors like me. I either gain confidence to tackle jobs like this, or the relevant know how needed to seek out a professional such as yourself.
My LLY turbo made it to 410k and I rebuilt it with a rotomaster kit because it had a weird chirp when cold. Busings looked ok except for one score... it is now at 741k miles and still running well...
That’s pretty impressive!
The earlier durmax has drain plug
So how much is this job? I got an 06 that the veins stick open once its hot. When it gets cold, they work again.
It depends on how stuck the fasteners are and what all breaks when you take it apart. I try to be very open with the customer prior to the job that things might break and if so it unfortunately adds to the cost. It usually runs around $3-$4000.
That job sucks. I've done but in sections. Egr delete, compound turbo install, then new factory turbo. The heat shields on the up pipes are the worst. However I coated everything in pb blaster 3 times a day for a week leading up to the job and every bolt came out like butter.
Soaking them in penetrating oil is definitely the way to go!
I fear if I try to take the driver's side up pipe bolts from the manifold, they will snap--as they did for you. Is there a way to remove the turbo and leave them on? I think I can drill out the passenger side without removing the manifold. The truck is so rusty, I have no confidence that I can remove the manifolds without snapping manifold bolts...is this a common thing on the duramax? Thanks for the info.
Unfortunately the way the up pipe comes up across the drain pipe for the turbo you are required to remove the up pipes on both sides. It’s a royal pain. Sometimes a torch with a lot of heat will help you out. Good luck!
OK thanks, if my nightmare is realized and I need to pull the driver's side manifold to remove snapped bolts, are there tricks to avoid snapping manifold bolts. With the access restricted, I'm not sure I could drill and tap the block without removing the engine. How do you fare in that regard with the manifold replacement?
did my lbz turbo at 400k. It wasnt that bad, didnt have to remove the freon.
Sounds good! You really don’t have to but I did because I have the machine and it doesn’t take long and it gets everything out of my way.
Is it ok to drive my 2006 lbz with the poo3a code? My vanes are sticking also
It won’t hurt anything. This truck was like this for 2 years. Eventually it usually gets bad enough to lose power.
@@hrdiesel I have a injector tick in my truck on the passenger side I would like to send you a video of it if possible to see what you think
I hope u recovered your wallet. It was still on the windshield. Drove me nuts because that's so easy to do
Yes, I actually did! It scared me when I found it. lol
