- In the shop at PBP this week is a LATE 2017 model L5P Duramax receiving our Signature D1 Hp Package. But lets dive deeper into this factory turbocharger and injectors before we start our installation process. L5P owners here is situation that could be you!

If these 2 failures are 100% legitimate w/no previous abuse,tuner etc. These are extremely uncommon failures & it wouldâve 100% been covered by warranty w/only 30k miles-i own a Lly Duramax with 397k miles & the turbo & injecors have never had any issues to dateđ€·ââïž
We 100% agree and yes they would be covered under warranty . Customer was aware of the repairs needed and was given the chance to take the vehicle into the dealership for a warranty repair. As any should should do, customer was not happy with local dealerships and felt they could not fix the truck in a timely manor . So he approved the â shown â services as we provided for you the audience to see. The 17 L5p had TONS of injector failures so this was not uncommon. On the turbocharger failure yes this is a uncommon failure.
I think I would have a drink after that too....My jetta TDI has got me drinking as much as I can ha ha. 2 engines rebuilt cp3 leak after mods. almost done lets hope it runs today. 6 months of constant failures one after another. but today she should be good.
Hang in there sir !! Some days we also get loose the battle at work, but we always go for round 2 or 3 đ€Ł
Now thatâs funny đđ
Save money with cheap oil, pay in turbo replacement. Save money on fuel additives without using them, pay more with injectors replacement. Pay me now or pay me later. Be smart use quality oil and do oil analysis.
Next time before condemning an injector by a simple disable test, try resetting the injector small quantity values. For a few reason ms these trucks are extremely sensitive electrically when it comes to injectors. Something as simple as a bad pigtail will cause an injector timing issue or a misfire and a P020X code.
Thank you sir !! We do appreciate the info!!
2019 l5p 47000 miles I got code p24c4 and was looking the truck over good before I took to the dealership and was under the front end and noticed oil dripping from the passenger side charge air cooler tube so I guess I got lucky before it came apart on me. Just put in the shop Friday and havenât heard anything yet. Yes I know that the code shouldnât have any bearing on this unless the whole system is oil contaminated. Will update when I get the solution.
Awesome content! I love your channel . Please keep it up.
Thank you sir !
Great info to keep a look out for with my 2018 L5P.
Thank you for the feedback sir !!
Thank you
Thank you sir
Guys just buy fuel from a high volume fuel station! Also add fuel Lubricant additives , and I run a synthetic oil ! I had 3 Duramax trucks and currently own a 2020 with 70,000 miles on it with no problems! The problem is fuel refineryâs deliver fuel 80% of the Time with zero sulfur ! Anything over 15 ppm and the entire batch gets rejected! So itâs easier for them to just ship it with 0-15 ppm ! All manufacturers have fuel problems due to low sulfur content!
I am Considering on buying a new l5P duramax. Thank you so much for this video. There isn't much information out there yet on common issues on these new engines. So keep it coming please
Thank you for the input sir ! Next up on the l5p menu is doing a s400 swap . We will cover the good and if there are any draw backs!!
I wouldn't call this a common issue, do research, other than youtube, I'm just one guy, but I haven't heard any major mechanical issues with with l5p.
@@Howtoautorepair do you own one?
@@nicklovely6431 Iâm betting he owns a dodge
It's a journal bearing turbo, it will have some play left to right because it DOESN'T HAVE OIL PRESSURE TO CENTER IT.
END PLAY (IN&OUT) SHOULD BE 0 NONE
Only partially correct. The impeller should never be able to hit the housing, oil pressure or not.
I'm currently in the market for a new 1500 or 2500 chevy diesel, and i am wondering if you guys have enough experience to either recommend them or should I pass. I am mostly getting it for pulling my camper a 32 foot Jayco that weighs a little under 8000 lbs fully loaded, but it is like pulling a parachute for a tank at speed. I am mostly looking at the 3.0 with tha max tow. I have a affinity for inline six engines and it still maxes towing out at 12,000 lbs total, which is 4000 lbs more than the camper weighs.
Very straightforward, you got a subscriber out of me.
Thank you sir we greatly appreciate it !!
Excellent content! Great troubleshooting explanation!
Thank you sir , we appreciate the feedback !!
i have a 2017 l5p with over 100k miles on it and from the sticker on the dorr it was built in 7/17 would this be an issue with mine or is it not a common issue for the injectors to go out as i still have the emmissions bull crap on it theres no way for me to tell if i do have said problem.... that being said i dont dog it or pull alot of stuff with it.... is there an easy way to check the turbo play without having to take a bunch of stuff off can i do like you did and pull the hot side pipe off and check it that way im not really familiar with the l5p's im more knowledgeable on the ford side of things but i really enjoy my truck thanks for the info i know its an old video but have been watching a few of the vids on the l5p just to get a little more knowledge about them but this was not a good video to watch haha made me think that i made a bad choice on the year model i chose
thanks guys
yukon44 Thank you sir
So did the injector balance & return rates look bad on that one injector or was it still normal rates ?
Looked perfect until you actually got the rail pressure up and then the bad injector showed up on the computer
â@@POINTBLANKPERFORMANCE do you remember what all the rates were within? I have a 2018 and my rates vary from 1.2 to -1.3. I'm trying to pinpoint a random missfire. But no luck. The tune techs say it's not their tune but I feel like it's over fueling when I let off the throttle thats when it throws a missfire.
yea, but how do you go about replacing that injector (#5)... 2019 3500 HD with exhaust brake..
there's a bunch of goodies in the way
Cooler has to come out !
How did you preform the cylinder cut out test? Scan tool or manually?
Scan Tool!
Guys, I mean guys. Guys!!!!!!!
New subscriber here, I've been watching a lot of your videos very informative. Where can I get one of these HP packages? do you sell them, or where can I buy one? I'm planning on buying a used L5P maybe 2018. So I've been researching a lot.
Sir do you have a good email ?!
Unrelated to this video but to you have an opinion on the EPC fooler plugs being used in the L5P (2019 to be specific)?
Not alot of pros like yourself have done a review on these but most videos I can find aren't pros saying they would recommend them or not. TIA
Yes sir ! So we install a EPC Fooler in every 17-19 truck regardless if itâs a racing application or daily driver . The shifter are cleaner plus the truck is more responsive. Weâve had zero transmission failures or over heating issues when installed . So far weâve made 600hp on stock trans and no issues. Hopefully this helps !
@@POINTBLANKPERFORMANCE man thx so much for the response. Iv called transmission shops and its been 50/50. Some saying don't use it its going to mess up the computer, transmission etc. and others say yea just do it.
Much appreciated I value your info
@@realroadsideservices5862 Anytime sir anytime !!!
Wonder why someone would have the older style tow mirrors If itâs a 2017.
looks very much like the WT trim
Hello new subscriber here. So to test that you just power brake it and if you here that knock than its the turbo? Because I have 2016 chevy duramax 2500 thats got 97k on it.
It would be more likely a fuel injector knocking sir !
No waranty on 33 k miles truck ?
My .17 L5P puts out a small plume of white smoke every time I start it. I have a full delete. Also when I lay into the skinny pedal there is grey-ish smoke out the tail pipe. Should I be concerned? It does not smoke on normal driving conditions. Transmission ainât holding much longer either. Lol.
Dangerous DAN this truck had very similar conditions . Have you done a balance rate check yet ?
POINTBLANK PERFORMANCE No, I havenât done a balance rate check yet. I will look into that today. Thanks.
is an injector relearn required after replacement? I just did #2,4,6,8 three days ago with oem New injectors. Have 600 into it... was charged 2000 to have just #7 done stranded on the road. Also I beleive I have a turbo actuator going bad. It sweeps only when it wants to. If you reset the light after it sweeps the vanes truck runs great otherwise reduced power and service emissions message comes up. Any thoughts?
Clayton Spade 100% stock ? When it did ?
@@user-px5fo7jd2u I just replaced all my injectors my self. I had to take it to the dealer to program the injectors to computer. Don't be surprised if you have to replace your DPF filter if you have been running with bad injectors for a while like me. After replacing my injectors including the 9th or indirect injector under the cab. My truck ran great for like 10 minutes and went back into reduced power and would not regen. Kept telling me to continue driving truck is in regen. Turns out running bad injectors for a while will clog up your DPF. I was able to cut off my DPF cut it open pressure wash it till it ran clear and welded it back together and clamped it back in to the exhaust. Ran great for a week but the injectors kicked off the check engine light again. The 1st dealer did not program the fuel Rate on each injector. I took it to a different dealer and they told me that aside from programming the injectors to the ECM you also have to program the fuel rate for each injector. The other dealer made no mention of that. It's about 800 bucks at the dealer to have them program the injectors and the fuel rates if you choose to change the injectors yourself and dont have a scan tool.
For a 2017 Itâs one nasty dirty truck!!
Farm truck đȘ
good fix. did warranty cover this?
No sir
What was maintenance intervals for this duramax, engine oil and brand?
repairvehicle what does the customer do or what do we recommend?
@@POINTBLANKPERFORMANCE, recommend customers to stop following factory oil change intervals and change more often using full synthetic. Or switch to 100% synthetic oil and follow factory recommend intervals. Fuel additives is a must. Diesel fuel in US doesn't even meet minimum requirements for fuel quality. No wonder Diesel engine have issues with fuel injection systems. Do you offer amsoil to your customers?
@@repairvehicle use amsoil oil and fuel additive, problem solved!!
@@repairvehicle Iâve got 150,000 on my lp5 with no injector issues in fact no issues at all. What makes you think Diesel fuel in the US doesnât meet minimum fuel requirements.
What requirements is it missing? Are US vehicles not designed to run on US Diesel fuel?
What additives do you think it needs?
I used amsoil in the 80âs in gas engines running anywhere from 400 to 800hp and to be honest never saw a difference between it and mobile 1 or anything else for that matter.
@@dontfit6380 , every reputable fuel additives company has specs and will tell you.
Guys!
Have you had any with like p026d code
Yes sir ! Dirty Map sensor !
It's always 5,7 or 6,8. D coverage 150k warranty....
Iâll keep my lmm
Lmms were a nice platform and help up nice !
He said "guys" 500 times

Drink everytime he says "guys"
Hey guys- give him a break. Guys.
Canât believe the driverâs seat would look like that with only 33K miles. Looks more like 233k. Just sayingâŠ
