It's good for guys getting into the diesel game, but if they don't already know most of this stuff they don't belong towing anyway haha
Two turbos are twice the fun!
Another good idea is leave it stock and tow what it’s rated for. Way less risk
2015 6.7 PS, towing 10,000 up and down the Appalachian mountains I’ve never seen more than 1100 degrees
So add a non vgt in front of the vgt. Got it
248 degrees oil temps!? Sustained above 240 oil temps for a while.
Get the tune right so it doesnt smoke. Might even help with the high oil temp
wish i understood sum of the terms better. what i doo 100 agree on is dont trt to be a lead foot when towing. drop it to atleast the speed limit or 5 under your engine with thank you. i dont go faster than 66mph when towing and not afraid to slow down to get engine out of 3500 rpms gasser. im mainly watchen oil temp and trany temp. oil 212 218 range try to hold going up a grade and dont like trany temp over 190.
What us 6.4 guys need is to get rid of that cross over pipe that leaks between turbos, PLEASE convert the feed pipe between turbos to a band clamp boot style. Machine a lip on hp and ditch the coupler fit on lp. This allows for more cfm and easier to work on. Then take my money!
Good stuff, I would just add that I always idle the engine after stopping and let it cool down a bit before shutting down. I have a high idle switch and I'll run it on high idle for 5-10 minutes before shutting down.
Do i have to be on 4x4
Very helpful video, thanks for posting
I will not run more than 1200 sustained.
How long until you have something for the 17-20 pickups? I need mo powa baby
Your oil temps make me cringe
I can't wait to get a KC turbo for my 6.7. Had a 2003 with that sweet sweet whistle, and can't wait to hear it again. Thanks, KC!
Wow, an employee of KC Turbos says you should run a VGT because "reasons". Imagine that! Also, and likely unrelated: KC Turbos primarily sells VGTs which are 2-3X more expensive (and less reliable) than traditional fixed-vane turbos. Coincidence?
Let’s be honest, that’s not Juice’s demographic. Totally just on radio 🤣
This guy is 100% right on his tips. Even with gassers you wanna watch your gauges and don’t lug your engine
I tow 9 k with an old 7.3 on 37’s with 4.56 gears I never touch 1200 and trans almost never goes above 165-170 unless it’s over 100 outside temp would love to install your stage 2, like you said keep the rpms in the sweet zone and listen/watch your truck!!!
smokes kinda fun sometimes tho hehe
guarantee you are soooo overweight
Do these and the intercooler fit the powerboost as well?
I have a 2019 3500 with a L5P and it pulls 14,000 ponds like nothing in 6th gear. And it will down shift automatically when the EGT’s are at 1,250 to 1,300 after 3 to 5 seconds.
I have an '18 and same. I just floor it and have gauges and never think about it. I think this video is for guys with fuel/air mods.
My 5.9 and 6.7 Cummins stay at 2000 to 2400 rpm and the truck protects itself. I use to drive by the gauges but got tired of that nonsense.
How about for mechanical diesel
WASTED
If you want a big build like this to last you’ll also have to do a trans, pushrods, rockers, studs, intercooler, etc.
I'm looking for a guide for EGT's for my GM L5P. Got a CTS3 and I have 4 or 5 EGT measurements at different points in the chain. Anyone know of a guide like this, he said 1300 or less, but for each of the different measurements?
I’m not going to listen to a diesel bro who lifts his truck and puts stupid oversized tires on it. Not a good setup for towing. What’s wrong with the way it came from the factory?
The truck in this video is not lifted. Larger tires provide greater clearance when off-road, and this truck has been re-geared to accommodate the larger tires. In addition, many truck owners do not want their truck to look exactly the same as everyone else's stock truck, so they aim for any sort of uniqueness when it comes to how their truck looks. The Factory tires are fine, and so are 35's. Everyone is different and has different styles and preferences.
6.4s are great trucks. Fast efficient handle good, sound DAMN good. See some drunk rednecks getting a boner listening to one of these trucks do a pull. I love my truck. Shes fully blueprinted and bullet proofed .40 over with delipped mxforce7 pistons, stage 2 callies billet cam, HD up-pipes, oringed heads with SS valves, billet push rods, billet oil pump, choate billet oiling rocker covers to oil the topend.
Thank you! You just confirmed what I’ve learned the hard way. Great video, great information.
What a coincidence! I love America!
Unless they're Mopar fans
I live in Mexico I need to buy this product
For a stock truck, what option is recommended? In the future I plan to improve injectors up to 180/30
For A stock Truck, just use the huge library of free tunes that are provided when you buy the hudra tuner. After you have then upgraded your injectors, then you can look into getting Custom tunes from a reputable tuner.
What would cause excessive oil and coolant mix it seems but within 3 mins idle on 2016 sonic turbo 1.4 l big puddle on ground from cat flange and just drops big time and white smoke of course. But if per say it is head gasket or cracked block , Head gasket brand new with cylinder head and turbo all new, wouldn't all liquid be burnt up instead of puking out the cat flange seal? baffling me or the other hand if from turbo leak would car not run like crap[, it idles great no hesitations etc but if combustion chamber being filled with liquids again it would run like crap and burn off liquids instead of just dumping puddles in 3 min idle times out ass end of cat at flange > any help would be greatly aprieciated. thanks. btw soo noticable that in 3 mins oil and coolant levels drop dramatically.
It does sound like the classic case of a blown headgasket. With newer vehicles there are a number of places where oil an coolant can mix, for example a lot of turbos are coolant fed, and if there is a crack somewhere around your sonics turbo then that could be causing it. Take her into a good shop or even at harborfreight they have cheap pressure testing tool kits, and you can find out if your head gasket is blown or not.
@@KCTURBOS Tested pressure on all cylinders and was between 178 to 182 , checked all spark plugs which were new as was the cylinder head , the whole unit with cams installed etc. new turbo, intake manifold purge valve solenoid, timing chain kit replacement, cam silinoid actuator, oil cooler aluminum , thermostat housing with thermostat , all seals used for all parts replaced, no leakage in any of them but literally a straight stream of liquid , whether oil or coolant or mix of both, puddles up under car in 2 mins have to refill the oil again ugh , Could a clogged Cat create too much back pressure and cause the return oil from turbo to be compressed past the turbo seal and into hot exhaust which causes the smoke but obviously huge pressure to empty the oil pan in minutes? crankcase pressure can block or push flow of oil back through the turbo from turbo drain ? Think that is possible? Really shooting for something now as i don't want to tear off the new turbo let alone the brand new cylinder head, new intake purge valve , all the seals i would have to get again , bugger of a job i tell ya . thanks again your comments are greatly appreciated.
For a daily/street 0.6-1 AR is where you want it. Just make sure you have an electronic boost controller and external wastegate to prevent back pressure.
Curious about doing this on my LLY, what do you do about the VGT sensor? Won’t it throw a fault? Just tune it out?
Thats correct! Your options are get your tuner to remove the VGT code. or You can also just take the VGT solenoid and plug it in and just let it hang out in the valley of your engine.
Troof I respect all builds. That doesn't mean I'd want to own it. Passion is passion
More boost, less gas mileage, it's not worth the trade-off to me.
Not at all, diesels get more efficient the more power they make within certain limits. My 6.0 dually puts down around 950lb of torque and I can cruise at 70mph getting 18-19mpgs. Not bad for an old pickup.
Most of the time you will see better fuel mileage with a turbo upgrade and depending on the tunes. Were the loss of fuel mileage come from is now your truck makes cool noises when you push the pedal and its a lot faster, so people tend to use more fuel especially in the beginning. But if someone is careful, and they drive "normal" you can see better fuel mileage.
I’ll take a free turbo for my obs 7.3
I would've taken that
could we get a towing review or just a drive along with the kc fusions for the 6.4
We can do a towing review video for sure! We recently did a ride along with Charlie in the test truck 6.4, so we will get that edited and on our schedule as well.
@@KCTURBOS sweet looking forward to this
You see, I need somebody like you. I've 2.0TDCI in 2008 ford focus. It was in many shops, even official ones. It's absolutely ridiculous how inexperienced poeple are there. They are not able to think; most of the time they follow some "cookbook" from a dealer. It would not help me saying what's wrong with my engine. But I do appreciate there are people still out there who know what they're doing.
The Sad thing is, a number of those type of shops are just lazy. Too lazy to diagnose the actual issue. Instead, they just throw parts at it until its fixed. They dont care, because they get paid.
If they can make a ball bearing Holset, they’d own the dodge market
Nice video! Does Banks happen to outperform this intercooler? Just wonder if the difference might justify the cost.
We have not tested them side by side, but the banks says its 19% larger than stock and the KC is 25% larger. I would feel confident in saying out intercooler will outperform it. Now the banks does also come with a piping kit, so that is neat if you like the color red.
We need more videos on the harley truck!
But what about an Excursion? 🤦😂
We have two of those as well! haha
@@KCTURBOSI'll be waiting on the new 7.3 turbos late this year for my '00. Currently have a balanced assy in the stocker, and a 1st gen KC38R on the shelf for the 230/100s going in soon. 306k, hoping I don't take it from "just broke in" to "just broken"
Great information! It helped me determine the next big mods on the rig. Thanks!
