2024 Duramax Engine First Look | Banks R&D Update 

You get more helpful information from Banks in 10 minutes than you could get from everyone who wants to be an amateur in 1 hour.

Wouldn’t it be cool to buy a “Banks” edition Duramax 2500 right off the showroom floor.

I can't wait to hear Gale and what he thinks of the next rendition of the L5P . He is the king of turbo charging and engineering, what a legend !

Thanks Banks! 10 minutes is never enough!

Ok when I was in every military truck sucked (no power). I’m glad some facilitator in the army is actually pushing the power while keeping it maintainable. Thank you

Love it! Thanks so much for continuing my education. Yes, that is selfish. It is unselfish of you to share all this knowledge with the us, the rest of the world. Thank you.

The amount of R&D that goes into this tech is insane.

Good to see Gale back doing the videos 👏👏👍👌

Outrageously cool Diesel educational stuff as always !! Can never get enough!! Great video Mr Banks !! 🇺🇸🇺🇸

Very impressive. Thank you for continuing to push the engineering envelope.

I remember purchasing a Banks intercooler/PROM back in 1997 for my F-350 crew cab long bed. What a package it was. It's the one truck I regret selling to this day

Nice intercooler setup, great upgrade !

👍🏽🇺🇸👍🏽 love the Gale tech videos.. awesome content

DAMN! He left us on a cliffhanger! 😂😂

And I'm still amazed that there are People, Who have no Idea who Gale Banks, is and what he is capable of doing and across All Platforms! Simply Amazing !

That’s the kind of interesting cool tech information I like on your RU-vid channel

Come on Gale. I want to see that Duramax go boom

Mr. Banks and his team are absolutely the best guys for your diesel engine performance.

mr.banks earned my total respect many years ago.he IS the real deal.

Love to see engineering at its finest

I served in the U.S Navy 🇺🇸 so thinks for serving our military vehicles🙌 and this is the only channel that does REAL TIME PERFORMANCE RESULTS👨‍🔧

We had similar sit ups to cool engine oil with coolant from the radiator, the problem was occasionally the water pump seal would breakup due to the WP bearing failing and a piece of it would get caught in one of tubes and over the course of time would work its way threw and cause oil in the radiator. Also some engines used water only and the bottom tubes would freeze and leak oil into the cooling system. More than once we'd plug off the affected tube or two and move on. My 2 cents worth.

Gale quote '...boy I can't wait for this...let;s get it on!'

Advanced thermodynamics spoon fed to the masses in a way anyone can understand. Every great teacher has a good sense of humor.

🤯 I love this man! He is so awesome

Gale Banks is my spirit animal. Wonder if they still make the torque converter for my 01 Ram diesel? Either way cool video as per usual.

Looks a lot like the heat exchanger we use at my work. Steam heats water in what we call a tube bundle like what you have but much bigger than the hot water goes to a plate heat exchanger to heat milk product to pasteurize it.

Gale Banks an ingenious Man in every way! Good job buddy!

Nice work. When is the LM2 Derringer coming out. I have been checking your website since June of 21. Patiently, faithfully waiting on this product. Please please please pleeeeaaase…………… 😎🤞🏽

Got it. I need a intercooler. Thanks for clarifying.

The "is that lake still there?" on the Great Salt Lake. Brutal, but true.

Love this guy

Very nice. Looks to be some Cummins Marine parts in use there.

Was the inspiration for this cooler the sabre pre cooler , the conical one ? This is really honest engineering and I love that you show us all. Thanks

i thought those billets were blocks....all the best gale n crew

YES!

Gale has been a horsepower hero for me since 1977😂

Banksssss. More Gale 👌🏻👌🏻

I wonder if making tracer lines on the downtube would have a big effect. So the charge air is already cooler before it enters the intercooler.

I can't wait

Wish you would come out with a charge air cooler for the L5p street trucks. 20& up

That's awesome! But we are all waiting for Derringer for LM2 !! No wonder it kept getting postponed.

Whatever happened to the killing a duramax series??? Also during the dyno tests it would be cool to see the hp change as he ramps up the charge air cooling in real time. Hopefully that's something he'll show.

Friggin epic.

Let's get back to the duramax videos.. and while we're at it .. whens the duramax crate program dropping

Gale do you prefer air to air or air to water cooler? is the shorter distance with air to water better for boost/back pressure balance?

Good to see ya", Gale! What sort of tricks have yo got Eric and the gang up too? Any more details on that diesel crate motor? Those intercoolers look to bomb; I can see where two would be much better than one, as you can balance the car put that way! FR

Ever have the supercharger feed the turbo(s) boost for the compounding effect in your "Super Turbo" applications?

Sweet

When are we getting the "killing a duramax" series back up and running?

9:54 "Hey, Gale, we're still rolling!" 😜

Grand pappy Gale at it again!!!

The 2024 GMC and Chevy Hd's drop springs 2023, will there be a derringer, cold air intake, tuners, exaust systems etc?

What I would give to see similar aftermarket products for the public.

That dude is bad ass 🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲

The best in the business Banks.

I hesitate to ask, but what would I be able to swap into my ‘04 f150 heritage and how much would it cost?

There are those who tell you "it can't be done", and there are those who do extraordinary things, and then there's Gale Banks

In the Marine Engine world it’s known as a rule of the thumb 1 degree inlet air temperature down is 5 degrees exhaust temperature down

As much as I love the l5p, I really want to see a banks Cummins 6.7 with a full send

How do you control CAC outlet temp?

I swear Gale Banks is the Second guy who I came across that are as Smart as they come, the other man is a owner of a Concrete plant here in Richmond, Michigan the Guy is as Smart as they come.

What about printed circuit heat exchangers?

Will we get it as a drop in?

What's happened to the blowing up a duramax series?

Can I buy an L5P for retrofit into my 2012 GMC 2500?

Wouldn't that be nice if they could sell the mil spec engine to the public.

This man is insane in the best possible way.

When will 19-20 Ram 6.7 intercooler come out??????????

Luar biasa jika 2024 l5p duramax engine digunakan oleh kendaraan armored jltv A2 pasti akan meningkatkan tenaga torsi dan sensasi kendaraan dan sangat membantu kendaraan bermanuver di Medan perang atau tempat yg lebih sulit.

I love how the flag on his sleeve is correct!

😎👍

Let's get it awnz

This is basically the setup for reactors

5:02, can we normalize saying intercoolers increase oxygen density more than the turbocharger or the blower??

I am curious why Banks doesn't make this a dry sump engine. It would greatly increase reliability in the harsh environments these are expected to operate in

I have been watching you guys use these cores since early 2000s and I have always wanted to ask you if you have the same issues as us in the marine world? Our biggest issue we have is the dissimilar metals and the condensation eating our housings up. This has been ruff for us all the way back to the 6bta diamond series. Over the years Cummins has made some changes with orings and check valves to drain the water when at rest, but still we go through housings like crazy. Cummins won’t sell just the core or the housing it’s a package and it’s expensive and now because we live in a socialist country I just waited 6 months for 1 qsc cooler and Cummins can’t even tell us when or how they will get the other. Do you have the same issues in the dyno cells? Or in any of your projects? Or is it just because of the salt water that we have so many issues? Sorry for the long question but I can tell you this ,if banks can make a replacement aftercooler for qsc Qsb Qsm that doesn’t fail like Cummins oem you will make a million dollars in Florida alone not to mention save hundreds of peoples motors. No exaggeration I rebuilt these engines like you change underwear down here because of it and the people with Qsbs are ,screwed because they have no liners and if I can’t stone hone it in the boat cost gets so crazy we toss them and get Cummins recons.

What happened to the 2024 teardown video??... It was up for a little bit

👍👍👍👍👍👍🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌

Have you made anything for cat engines

there's already a new version of the JLTV? Jeez

6:44 What on earth is shoving "in the hundreds of pounds" of boost into an intake? Actually, that might be a brilliant idea.... If you boost up to "hundreds of pounds" to get the air SUPER hot and run it through a cool intercooler, that will bring it down to "pretty hot" in a very short amount of time. (Thermal transfer is logarithmic compared to time, so greater the delta in temperatures (hot intake air vs cool water core in this case), it will cool off a LOT more for the same amount of exposure time when the air is SUPER HOT and the water core is cool than it would if the air was pretty hot and the water core was cool.) Then, you can run it through an expansion valve (think orifice tube in an A/C system) to bring the pressure down to a normal 10, 30, 70, or whatever is actually going in your engine. The air would cool down a LOT and you'd have SUPER chilled AND boosted air going into your combustion chamber! Like, dang near A/C level chilled! I wonder if that's what he was getting at when he said "Intercoolers make more power than the turbocharger that creates the boost". He was pretty adamant on that statement. BTW, I'm still holding out for the last of the "Killing a Duramax" series! You promised, Gale!

Want to see some love for the LM2. :+ )

Shell and tube heat exchanger. Much more expensive than plate and frame or wide gap plate and frame.

Is this a product that's available to the consumer market?

What happened to the other 2 series the killing a duramax and the monster truck engine?

Ssshhhaaoooww.. let's get it on!

No Duramax Engines were harmed.

This is cool as fuck

How about love for the baby 3.0 was so waiting for the tuner for it… now I feel like it’s been so long it will be forgotten by banks…

Ft/Lb Gale... :)

3.0 duramax tuner!!!!!!!

Can you Dino a 3.0 L

Your air to water intercooler is almost as good as the Volvo I have in my boat, where the turnaround end cap is separate on yours it's built into the housing on this 1990s vintage Volvo. but I will say yours is prettier

does the government abide to the epa laws as us peasants have to? I've heard all government diesels don't have any emissions on them. also the beast is deleted isn't it.

I believe you can ask for it and you shall receive…..

Wonder how hard it’d be to throw one of these duramaxs and Allison transmission in a jeep JK

Whatever happened to the monster truck engine?

I just want to be a pion in his Shop and try to act like a sponge when at work.

I miss your outro Gale where you stand there frozen in time.
