Will The LB7 Duramax Cheech Back To Life?
Ойын-сауық
Welcome back to another week of shenanigans at SquareMax Customs! This week we buy a 2001 Chevy 2500hd duramax diesel that's been sitting.
Think we can get it cleaned up and running?
Well you'll have to tune in to find out!

Being from Ohio, I'm not used to seeing rocker panels and cab corners. Nor beds and bumpers that aren't swiss cheese. My company sent a 40k mile, 2004 3500 chasis dually plow truck to the scrap heap. Frame rusted off of both ends. Rear, where the dump bed pins mount and the front where the plow mount bolts to the frame. On a side note, there was a 940k mile truck for sale in the area. Impressed to see that.

Your 2015 is sharp in black.
Throw some ATF type f in it to clean the injections before replacing it will buy some time. If you end up doing that make a video on it show us if it cleaned up your smoking problem

That's not a bad idea. I thought about using a good bit of 2 stroke mix. I dont think it would clean. But maybe help free up any sticky injectors.
I bought one like this, which ran good after fix fuel lines was driving for a few weeks, started hazing , and smoking i sent it down the road them injectors are expensive

Heyyy, nice work!! A friend of mine owes a fuel business. He sells diesel, gas, propane to gas stations. He told me to run 1/3 bottle of Marvel Mystery oil with every fill up. Bro!!! I have a 04 LB7 and after doing that she runs like night and day! Sooo smooth and no smoke at anytime! I’ve been running it for 4 fill ups now and will continue for now on…!💪🏼

Thats a sharp looking truck for its age! Definitely deserves to be on the road again. I'm up north, any trucks like 8+ years old are usually completely rotted out.

From sitting maybe some injectors could be stuck. Try running a good cleaner through it and see if the injectors come back
If you take the bolt out of the thermostat housing it’ll bleed the air out of the system as you fill it with coolant.
That tool on 16:10 is the best when you have to remove the main crankshaft pulley. The part with teeth is to lock the flywheel and the nut is for the 12side front nut. The flywheel is locked thru the access metal cover in the bottom trans bell, driver side.

So I noticed while watching this the truck has some goodies. It’s got head studs a boost increase valve (which is the blue round thing in front of the turbo) the downpipe, the sound system and exhaust. It should be a good dang truck when it’s running.

You can check the ohm resistance through the injector plugs to see if any are bad. It should be anywhere from 0.00-0.05, if you see a resistance of like 50 it’s definitely bad.

To be honest man. What ever you can afford to get started. I personally like the 6.6 duramax. All years are decent. But everyone has their own opinion. I've had just about every generation duramax. But currently drive my 88 squarebody with a LB7 Duramax under the hood.

Eliminate the carrier bearing. Convert to a one-piece L5P driveshaft.

If you have a stuck injector or clogged like I did in my LB7 I went to my local GM dealer and picked up a bottle of ACDelco Upper engine and fuel injector cleaner part # 88861804 , I checked my fuel trim level's on my CTS and they were in spec after about 1 hour of idling on the cleaner. You just route the input and return into a 2 gallon jug add the cleaner and let it idle 👍 Fixed my issues ! Taker easy 🏁⛽🛢️
