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.

    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…!💪🏼

    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.

    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.

    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.
