Found This After Pulling The Transmission On The 1000hp Duramax Build! 

One thing I learned with performance boats and diesel trucks, when you think something is only gonna cost a certain amount, double that amount and count on it costing that much or even more.

Holy cow, that nine blade! WOW! Ryan better put a disclaimer on his website, “may tend to tick off your next door neighbors during elevated idle”!

That 9 blade turbo sounds crazy!!!!! Great job RDS crew.

Love the nine blade whistle!

Oh my goodness!!! Josh that 9 blade billet in the turbo is totally sick!!! WOW. RDS you guys rock. Keep up the build on WifeMax!!! Love your channel!!! Can't wait til next video. Thanks a bunch👍👍

Josh i thought the 10 blade was nasty! now the 9 blade just became my favorite. build that truck so the Bride is happy everyday!

I wish there was a “Ryan’s diesel service and Kodiak truck in NC haha I do all the work on my Lbz but would be nice to have a shop I would trust as much as them.

It's good to have great friends. You have great friends with the guys at RDS and Kodiak. This is what makes hot rodding fun. Patience is paramount and change is inevitable. You are getting the best advice and you are following it and that is what is making your channel worth listening to. Kudos to all of you. As for the Shorty build... same thing. It's going to be a show stopper. Looking forward to seeing it when it's ready. Truly enjoy watching this all come together. Here's something to talk with beard about... since you have the body off the frame. You plan to do some pulling with the WIFEMAX. What about additional support for the hitch ? Adding to it to strengthen the hitch and frame and transfer the energy to a better location in the frame ? To prevent frame twist from the torque of the pull. Again it's all part of the build process. Better to over build.. then break... Now might be a good time to fab some hidden brackets on the front. To hang weight on for pulling. I know in some forms of racing you need drive shaft hoops. To contain broken drive shafts. Take a look at the rules for the pulling you plan to do. These are things you can also do before the body goes back on the frame. Plus just falls in the build it right category.

Been watching since the lbz was black, thanks for the content!

Never owned a diesel truck but i love when they sound like a jet. I had a Buick Lesabre station wagon in highschool that had a diesel engine in it and it was a beast! If I'd put turbos on it....goodnisss. Lol

@11:28--"You don't seem like the muffler kinda guy"🤣🤣

That turbo sounds awesome

your videos are helpful. thanks for doing them. I watched this one who wouldn't watch when 1000hp duramax is in the title lol

Hey buddy! I was thinking about what the update for single cab durmax lately, then you said it. Everything coming along for your wife truck, too. Can't wait to see more channels!

I have a question; I lifted my LB7 with a 6”lift and put 20”wheels and 37” tires. Now I’m blowing the 20amp fuse to the pcm-b and can’t keep a fuse in it. The ficm is still good and fixed all 4 grounds. Q; is it Vidal to program the ecm after a wheel size change? Any info will be appreciated!! Thanks guys !

Love the work you’re doing

I own a 6.7 mega cab and recently acquired a 2004 duramax LLY dually as my next project. Your videos are on point!!..👍🏽…Aloha 🤙🏽

I have the Goerend R converter with a RDS 68/71 race turbo on a lbz. Had a different converter in before. Night and day difference with the 68 paired with the R converter. Love that converter.

Good video. I agree don't rush it

Take your time, Do it right. I use to hate to get pushed in big hurry due to production as heavy duty diesel mechanic / cert. welder.

I wish you could just buy a 9 blade for a rebuild kit. Already have a 68mm but needs rebuilt.

I have a LDS 64 on my LML. The high idle in the mornings is absolute heaven and all the Karen's hate it lol.

I have a Goerend DL 12 bolt thats 2300 stall with a socal billet flywheel I also have a goerend DK that worked great as well. Only swapped cause the 12 bolt. The DL lights up my truck no problem. Get a DHD lock up box to.

One thing I have learned Josh during all my projects I have ever built is that one change here , leads to 2-3 more changes there . As in “ your rig is only as strong as it’s weakest link “. Beef up a part here , and then the others will need beefing up down the line . A 1,000 hp engine with a 4-600 hp flexplate will be the Achilles heel , fix that and then the converter becomes the failure point , beef that up then the trans , and drive shaft & u-joints and then axle shafts and hubs & lug nuts / studs , I’ve even seen guys get EVERYTHING so beefed up and indestructible that the center gets ripped out of the rim ( racing slicks , screws through rim into sidewalls to keep rim from spinning in tire and Waaaaay too much traction on drag strip ) . May need to build a custom braced rear end with welded on gussets like the guys run out here on West coast in the Baja Trophy truck classes even to get all the power safely to the ground. Be careful what you wish for , as one expensive part usually leads to many more on down the line . Thanks for posting this one, and keep on chasing your dreams . One day hopefully you will have that truck all done & hopefully dialed in properly. Oh, one more thing , and please don’t hate on me here , but I’m just NOT that excited about making my truck sound like a jet taking off ……. I love my LB-7 with 4” exhaust with small resonator & 3-1/2” turbo air horn . It has just a bit of “ Whistle “ at wide open , but not enough to piss off all my neighbors. Plus as loud as that 9 blade was in this video I would hate to take it on my 2500 mile round trip visit from Cali to Texas to visit my daughter & grandsons like I can do comfortably in my truck as is . That’s it for now. C-ya 👍👍

Take your time and do it right. Great content as always.

That was me. I was that comment about the converter lmao

Love the turbo. In a prior video, I noticed the stock flywheel on the block. I thought maybe you just haven’t gotten that far yet. You definitely want a billet flywheel if you’re going to be popping 1000 hp. The stock fly wheel is so flimsy in comparison. I don’t think it would last very long. Good video 👍

Hello Josh. You forgot to change the flywheel. Now you've got to fix the wiring harness.

Damn that 9 blade sounds so good

When that rolled off the trailer in the intro it looks identical to my daily lol

Currently building my 2005 LLY. Why do you need to re-pin the harness? Was it replacing the injectors that called for it? Forgive me if I sound like a newbie, still learning. Thanks

you definitely need a dually love the red truck love the other ones but maybe it’s time for a new chapter

I’ve been doing testing on 9 blade turbines here at Blow Hard Diesel on cummins trucks and I just can’t seem to find the right blade pitch 😂 oh well I’ll get there eventually. DO NOT RUSH A HIGH HORSE POWER BUILD! Keep up the content good job.

You should do a 8 blade turbo

Keep up the great work

Should do a 9 to 10 blade comparison video!

Will you still get a whistle with regular driving with a 64mm 10 blade? Like whistle barley hitting gas pedal?

I see ur l5p doesn’t have the stock tail pipe anymore. 😮😮😮😮😮What tunes are u running?

Do they make the 9 blade for the LB7s? On the site they only say 10 blade at the moment.

That lbz sounds sweet

I wouldn’t go that on high on stall lol. Building turbos if you size them correctly it will lite up real nice on stock stall.

Hey is it possible to get the 9 blade turbine on a stock lly turbo? Do they make drop in turbo wheels?

Is Ryan going to release a 9 blade super core kit?

Bro… I crawled under my 06 LBZ today and discovered my body mounts to the frame and body as well as the rocker panels and floor supports pretty much gone… how much roughly would the shop that did the body work on the giveaway truck roughly charge to knock it out? I’m stationed in Jacksonville and would ship it to them. I love my truck and don’t wanna lose it to cancer (rust).

Josh do you ship the air dog fuel systems or do they come from distributor.

Id run a Goerend K in my opinion. I run a J personally

Hey I don’t know if it was just a good marketing ploy but I seen gayle banks do a video about the flat diff covers and it looked like it really degraded your oil making it really bubbly

Where’s Ryan hat?

I painted my RDS the same color red

Is that an aftermarket exhaust I see on the l5p🤔

I cracked mine without built Trans and no where near 1000 hp and dis so in like 10 places all around the bolts and between bolts and the holes in middle of it & oddly enough Trans still good but I never do anything unless the converter in locked every single time I get on it but I think it's got shift kit and more line pressure but that's it as far as I know but I may be wrong anyhow...

You need to put a 9blade in the red lbz

There's the Earl way: cut wires and but connectors, and the right way: re-pin the harness.

We need a diesel dually on the channel tbh

Who do I talk to to buy this turbo? Thanks brother

I have a 10-blade aftermarket 64MM turbo on my LML, but that 9-blade is wicked and SOLD! When is it available?

Do they make 9 blade for lml?

I’m wanting to know what the fuel mileage on hwy is with the 9 blade Yeah man build her right!

I have a 2004 duramax 4x4 and it’s stock very healthy engine but I’m having a issues with the the transmission popping out of gear ⚙️ p0746 p0735 p0734 anyone know what could cause this I pulled the valve body today and testing solenoids and cleaning up valve body. If anyone knows about it fixed to this issue, I would appreciate it and if it needs to be rebuilt, what’s a good budget rebuild kit they can hold a level five tune because after I figure out the transmission. I would like to get a little bit more power out of it. I tall a lot with this, and I feel like a two and would help with the towing.

I cracked mine and it sounded like a rod knock...scared the hell out of me...

Hey now, be easy on Earl

THIS IS WHY ALL THE HONDA GUYS, CHEVY SMALL BLOCK AND FORD SMALL BLOCK GUYS KNOW WHATS UP. THEY CAN BUILD A BADASS, FAST SETUP SIMPLY AND WITHOUT BREAKING THE BANK DONT GET ME WRONG I LOVE PERFORMANCE TUNED ANYTHING AMD EVERYTHING BUT THESE DIESEL HOGS ARE EXPENSIVE TO RUN AND MODIFY.

Rome wasn't built in a day because they didn't have heavy machinery. Look how quick Rome comes up now ;)

Can I get a shoutout

Needs a bigger hair dryer

Man it must be nice to snap your fingers and get skipped right to the front of the list I was on mark's list before you ever bought the wife Max and you've done had 2 builds done on it WTF when's he gonna call me???????????????

Slacking on the videos lol

What happened to your instagram??
