In this video we get the new tow rig buttoned up and running. Unfortunately we ran into one very large and expensive issue holding it back from being perfect...
Boostedboi Wyatt!!! One of my favorite wrench hands on RU-vid and I'm so stoked you'll be handling the upkeep on the fleet. Now shits about to get REAL
Good luck with everything Wyatt. Maybe Kyle will help your video production and you can do the wrenching. Awesome teamwork makes the dream work. Everybody should have their own pit crew.
Heck yea. Glad to see it made the long haul to Florida. Happy to see you on kyles channel. Your humor is second to none and his channel just needs that little extra spice. Keep up the good work my man.
You may already know this but on the LML you need to keep trickling coolant in the reservoir to fill the right hand side of the reservoir about half full. That is actually where it will pull or push coolant to and from as needed. If the right hand side is dry you will keep getting a low coolant light.
Great to see you posting video's, the move to FL could boost your channel as well as the Boosted Boiz channel. Best of luck becoming a real Floridaman and looking forward to both your content as the Boosted Boiz channel. Greetings from Holland
Glad to hear that your moving to Florida i didn't like Kyle living there alone plus his stuff might be more mechanically sound! No more missing washers on the valvecover! Lol
Like you said, I wished you got a video of the injector knock. Im guessing thats what my lbz is having at the moment, guess its from returning to much fuel maybe? I'll be getting ahold of Lincoln diesel soon for some new injectors.
When you rebuilt the motor why didn't you use the Wrangler crank and offset cam? Since the duramax is known for breaking cranks in my opinion I would of done it just for peace and mind. It seems like the older Duramaxs like the lb7 lly and the lbz didn't have much for broken cranks compared to the newer one's.
Interesting that fuel knock can be a problem for diesels. I thought they ran on knock? So it was so lean that the knock was so bad that even a diesel made to run on knock would get hurt? Very interesting I'm learning about things.
I’m thinking it was running too rich in that cylinder. Since the compression is so high it can’t compress the liquid fuel. It’s supposed to be sprayed out in a very fine mist, but a bad injector will spray it in more of a drippy stream
Each time I watch the first three gears of the Allison with how it's tuned for the duramax just makes me cringe at how mushy and sloppy it is. Unless there is a really, really good reason for it, I would immediately tune that out with converter lockup or something.
did u flush out your Fuel rail/Fuel rail sensors ? When pumps break down in England. we normal never risk anything. The entire system is gutted. even fuel lines under the car are flushed. Ive swapped injectors over and over as small particles fuck everything. Nightmare design.
You bit your own ass, the truck didn't bite you. You knew you should have installed new injectors... again. I believe that the language we use changes our behavior, so it's an important distinction to make and it will benefit you to eliminate language that glosses over your mistakes and responsibilities. I say this as an old guy who changed his behavior in part by changing his manner of speaking.
At the price of diesel injectors, you replace when they fail. Even oem is not cheap and its not cutting corners as the oem is far more reliable than some aftermarket offerings. This is why he tested the truck before the journey.
@@madmod You fail to comprehend my point. He knew they were going to fail. So I'll give you the same recommendation that I gave to Wyatt: that you not make excuses.
And what is his time worth? Now he has to take the extra time to replace the injectors when it would have been much faster when the engine was disassembled.
@@CCDzineIm sure he knowingly reinstalled bad injectors. That's about the most nonsensical thing Ive heard today. If your injectors ran well prior, neither myself nor many diesel mechanics would justify the price of a new or remanufactured set regardless of a full engine rebuild or not unless they showed signs of failure before tear down. I agree with doing it right the first time but it is not bad practice to reuse oem parts, specifically injection systems that were pulled off of this same engine.
