In this video we install a new turbocharger on a LMM duramax. This is not a how to video, only a look into the day to day operations at my shop. --Check out my Instagram-- SketchyDA
Thank you for the video. I am a mechanic for the Air Force and was working on this vehicle, when I pulled out the documents saying to remove the transmission my supervisor didn't believe me! So I spend 2 days suffering, I'll show it to him
This really helped me understand where the turbo charger was and that i don't want to pull that out! My turbocharger apparently went out and i have let it sit now due to no time and money. Thanks for post this video. Really help. I really like how to incase i every have to do it my self. Again thanks.
I would love to see more of what you do everyday if possible, cause that way we can see all of the different types vehicles you work on. If filming is an issue, you can always get Hayden to assist you in that department and vise versa.
I always took the passenger side cab mounts loose, jack up the cab, and stick 2x4s under the body mount. That gives you much better arm and hand access. Good option for someone that doesnt have the means of removing the trans.
I always preferred to lift the cab off. Over the years leaning over the the radiator support really took a toll on me. Gm service procedure is to remove the transmission though.
Welllllp, looks like bellatrix (my 08 duramax).... is going to go to a shop for a turbo replace. Im not much of a mechanic, and i didnt know it was this much of a pain to do 🥺 but thank you for showing the process! You saved me time and most likely money by showing me not to try it myself. Cuz id prolly break stuff. Lol
Good video. I used to think the same about showing how to videos. But the reality is not alot of people can or want to turn a wrench even if it saves them money.
I dont think you gonna loose customers if you make videos on how to fix stuff. There are so many channels already showing howto's and you still have customers. Thanks for the great content anyways :)
Definitely would like to see more of these videos. Most people that watch probably aren't even close enough to bring you their truck to work on so showing how to stuff shouldn't take business from you it would only help to grow your channel. Keep up the great work.
Wish air research was cooler about rebuild kits. Glad youve got a good rebuilder. I have no lie at least 40 of these llm/lmz turbo cores we can't rebuild cause we're just holset/Cummins rebuild plebs.
Glad you showed it and it's not something I'm equipped to handle. Curious why the Turbo failed? I always try to let mine run after I've been pulling for a while. I fear coking of the bearings if I leave it heat soaked. Also, I have an LML now after 11 years with an LLY. So far I'm loving it but I've heard things about the CP4 failing and costing thousands to repair. Any advice on maintaining it? Thanks, Alan
Awesome vid can't wait to see the race truck make a rip but seeing what comes through the shop for work I aslo vary interesting content I would love to see more!
I'm doing this job right now on my 2008 LMM - you went from timelapse messing with the exhaust to holding the turbo. I was looking to see how to get the front driver side turbo mount bolt out and how to unhook the oil lines. Not sure what this video is for ?? Kinda low on detail for someone actually working on a vehicle.
I totally agree by what you mean biting the hand that feeds you, I have a lot of cheaper detailer guys that will take any kind of stuff I put out and use it to there advantage and steal my work. But sometimes there's enough work to go around for everyone but still snakes in the grass that will talk to ur customers. i like ur videos wish there was a way you could post more content maybe with the personal build will be fun.
Bro i honastly think with your format and great vid quality diesel how to vids would do really good on here maybe just leave out any tricks you do and or just not show parts of it man im loving the vids lately
Is lifting the cab an option to do like on the Ford 6.0 & 6.4 ?.... pretty sure Ford knew the motors were crap so made the cab easy to remove.... more of the same too please... stay safe
You give people just enough information to make them dangerous, lol. Meaning, when they start to work on their junk and break and strip out bolts you can just charge more. Win win!
Daily vlogs kinda like the ones Hayden did would be cool. More of a day in the life type thing. It’d give the audience a better understanding of what it takes to do what you do. Not so much worried about one type of content. I’d like to just see more consistency even if it’s you riding dirt bikes to talking about stuff in general. I think I speak for a lot of us when I say this. We’d be happy with any content you think is worth uploading. Congrats on everything. Hope you continue to grow and have success in your ventures.
A friend of mine has a CZcams channel in the tech industry, he gives away "secrets" and how-to's on pretty much everything he does. Ever since he started his CZcams channel, his business has grown drastically. I feel like if you are hiding what you are doing in your business, you won't ever be successful in the long-term. Anytime a client of mine asks how something is done, I explain it to them.
Don’t understand this logic at all. Posting a. Video reinforces why it costs what it costs for a good tech to do a quality job. Your also not just paying for labor ,you are paying for the knowledge and experience of the technician. Besides this is a Duramax these trucks are a nightmare to work on, no ones going to steal your work, there won’t be a line of men wanting to take this crap work away from you. Nothing prestigious about working on a rusty leaky old Duramax with frozen exhaust bolts and there 12 point heads ,just miserable to work on and no room.
@@ozzypawsborneprinceofbarkness Exactly. When people see a video of someone who is open and transparent about how they repair something. People are gonna go to him. Granted some people will use the video to try to fix it themselves, but you've also made a little off the ad revenue or a sponsor to not have to worry about that one potential customer you didn't get.
Wyatt, curious as to why you pull trans instead of cab. Seems to me like you had yours off in same amount of time. I would imagine it would be much easier with the cab off.
i have an 97 isb300 in a RV with 15k miles that the turbo actuator has an intermittent check engine light. NO smoke just piss piss noise at idle. It goes away when i put on the engine brake at 30mph. I assume it needs a rebuild who should check with on that?
Curious what led to discovering the turbo was bad. Was it leaking oil before you pulled the hot side pipe? Just curious about what a novice might find, discover or look for. Thanks!
i do enjoy these kinds of vids, but i would rather watch you work on your truck/shenanigans because that way you aren't potentially losing customers that would drop by for "easy" jobs because they found out they could do it at home. keep your business running, worry about videos later. stay safe and healthy brub.
Really enjoy your content should upload more never disappointed. Have a good day and stay safe Jimmy from Massachusetts

Content's content, Wyatt, my dude. Love watching anything you put together. MORE PLS

its funny how much better u are at this than hayden. good content. id watch more of these
Great vid! Thanks for sharing. Nice clean shop also.
always interested in learning more about working duramax trucks! wanted to swap an LMM into my 08 suburban 2500 one day.
Thanks for sharing your experience 👍🏻
I don't own a diesel but I enjoy learning from you brother
I would get urself 1 of them topside creepers
I always took the passenger side cab mounts loose, jack up the cab, and stick 2x4s under the body mount. That gives you much better arm and hand access. Good option for someone that doesnt have the means of removing the trans.
Found you through PFI SPEED,good content,much love from Louisiana.

yes please, feed us with more content of ur daily work, we enjoy ur videos
Wish you’d showed us the old turbo and what went bad on it. Otherwise good vid! 👍
turbo seal dead and started puking oil past it.
Think about: It is not real hard to figure out the shaft seal(s) failed when he said it was puking oil into the intake system.

Loved it man, no need for how to vids but showing things like the upgrades are awesome
Keep it coming, I do enjoy the projects and normal shop work.
Good content man always love the how too vids !
Didn’t clean the oil out of the intercooler?
Wish air research was cooler about rebuild kits. Glad youve got a good rebuilder. I have no lie at least 40 of these llm/lmz turbo cores we can't rebuild cause we're just holset/Cummins rebuild plebs.
Hell yeah, more vids like to see what you getin upto , thanks
Love that kind of info and how to!!
Always love ur uploads, makes me want a dzl, wish there were more small truck/suv diesels especially a Toyota.
There are look up a diesel Toyota land cruiser
Im so glad them massive- Oversized wheels affects the speedo so much. kinda makes u look like u was speeding when u wasn't

I really like your videos. I have a LLY Duramax. I'd love to see a Allison 1000 rebuild with billet parts!
About time
I dig these kind of videos keep it up!!
Great video bro. We need more of this to help get us through this "corn teen"
Anything you do is entertaining. Especially when your fuckin with hayden. Shit cracks me up. Keep up the good work brotha 👊🤘
Sure. It's cool to see what you're working on.
Awesome vid can't wait to see the race truck make a rip but seeing what comes through the shop for work I aslo vary interesting content I would love to see more!
Will definitely do that upgrade if I ever need it.
Enjoy all your content bro upload everything... the people will tell you if they don’t enjoy
this upload was cool. trust me not alot of people are willing to attempt this so you still have job security
And even if they do. At least half of them will fail and end up in the shop anyways.

On today’s episode of whits diesel performance, sketchyDAD makes 1000 hp on a customer truck
Bro i honastly think with your format and great vid quality diesel how to vids would do really good on here maybe just leave out any tricks you do and or just not show parts of it man im loving the vids lately
Sketchy you got to chill with that covid-19 music, I feel like I'm at a wake.
Wit is back!
Is lifting the cab an option to do like on the Ford 6.0 & 6.4 ?.... pretty sure Ford knew the motors were crap so made the cab easy to remove.... more of the same too please... stay safe
Im interested in the turbo, how many miles did this lmm have before the turbo went bad?
Yes. More on the race truck
Keep those videos coming spread that knowledge...
You give people just enough information to make them dangerous, lol. Meaning, when they start to work on their junk and break and strip out bolts you can just charge more. Win win!
So are lb7 the few that are water cooled turbos or am i misinformed?
I like seeing the stuff you work on its different content it's cool if your a diesel guy
Great content. Keep up good work and show us more work that you do
you really are good at this bro keep doing it

How many miles did this truck have on it that it needs a new turbo? Awesome video!!
Hell yea Wyatt keep posting videos wether it's on your project truck or even customer vehicle's the people need entertainment you funny fucker.
Hay man what’s it cost for u to do that job got a 09 max that’s probably getting close to needing a refresh
Got me all choked up with the music!
Biting the hand that feed ya? So does that mean you don't want to expose trade secrets lol
Honrarri 9K RPM yeah he explained in another video that basically by uploading videos like this is could take away customers.

I would like one of these turbos for a 2004 duramax Thanks
I’m a fan of these videos.
Definitely more like this video
Great video
Great video - I would love to get the name of your guy that sells the re-manufactured Turbos? Thanks!

You should let me come be a shop hand I'd really like to learn mor about te diesel world😂😂😂
Not this guy
I wanna see that build your doing finished and rippin
I will never need this information but god damnit I'm gonna watch it anyways
More videos from you is more better
i have an 97 isb300 in a RV with 15k miles that the turbo actuator has an intermittent check engine light. NO smoke just piss piss noise at idle. It goes away when i put on the engine brake at 30mph. I assume it needs a rebuild who should check with on that?
Good job !
Big chocolate eyed grizzly bear fiddling some isuzu v8’s with his big ruthless hands
Post more diesel stuff 🤟🏼
For sure man keep it up🤙
Please make more content! You'd grow so fast
We just wanna see more vids from you !
Love it. Keep the videos coming!
So did you not have to clean out the inner cooler???
Great vid man more
yeah now that have seen that, I"m gonna start me a shop
Soon as I learn how to work at warp SPEED LOL.
Curious what led to discovering the turbo was bad. Was it leaking oil before you pulled the hot side pipe? Just curious about what a novice might find, discover or look for. Thanks!
How did you clean the oil out of the intercooler piping and I assume made it to the intercooler itself?
add gasoline shake and repeat.
If it had a PVC bypass it would of kept a lot of oil out of the system, also helps the boots from blowing off
I need info on how to get the turbo on this video.
What causes my lml to lug on hills an belch black smoke an not want to downshift an pull the hill?
i do enjoy these kinds of vids, but i would rather watch you work on your truck/shenanigans because that way you aren't potentially losing customers that would drop by for "easy" jobs because they found out they could do it at home.
keep your business running, worry about videos later.
stay safe and healthy brub.
Like the video keep them coming
I dig it.
