This guy has always made me want to buy a diesel just to have his fine exhaustively researched products. He deserves so much respect for decades and decades of dedication to sharing his passion openly. He is the Einstein of diesels. This was so enjoyable.
Gail just blessed that fella. Hope he knows it and cherishes the time with Gail. Gail Banks is a national treasure. What a time to remember. Love and respect.
Man...The Diesel Guru himself.... I trust no body more than Gale for diesel shit.... He hates black smoke just like me... Black smoke is wasted / unused power ... Lean is mean!
Man, I'm happy to see more people understand & not hate diesel. I turn everyone I can on to "seriously take a look at Banks stuff", no need to be dummies. Once you understand, theres no reason to do the madness. Black clouds is for suckers!
Awesome, finally someone truly appreciating ICE T for what it is instead of just whining about Rich destroying an EV. Kudos to you sir, ever the gentleman and great thinker Gale Banks ❤👍
A Rich Rebuilds/ Banks collaboration? The stars indeed are in alignment. Cant wait to see what comes of this one. A turbo diesel electric hybrid? The possibilities are endless.
I'm geeking out! I'M GEEKING OUT! SQUEEEEEEE! I LOVE that Rich and Gale crossed paths. Gale, old-school. Rich, new-wave. Both on the same page and wavelength.
*Rich is as genuine as a human gets and you can see the RESPECT he has for THE legendary Mr Banks. This is what Mr Banks lives for, an evolutionary man he is.*
Rich Rebuilds and Gale Banks, two class acts that can't be beat. I look forward to watching Rich's next project to see how awesome your parts, accessories, and goodies make the project sing.
Two people brought together through a shared love of doing crazy things with cars, each totally unique in their approach, but the shared passion and respect is so evident. This is what its all about.
i absolutely will watch a collab between Rich and Gale. Diesels are awesome. a shame that america decided to kill diesel car engines. 50mpg jettas go a long way, literally. Oh, and what about the 3 liter TDI audi? it makes a ton of power.
I had a customer bring in an RV,,,, I popped open the engine cover and there stood a huge 12 valve Cummins with banks power pack on top and various other parts from banks. I was honored to work on that.
This is my favorite of the Duramax-swapped '66 Chevy series which is saying a lot because I've really enjoyed the entire series. It will be real fun to see what Rich and Gale come up with.
Hell yeah!! Rich deserves this attention. Gale is an amazing human that truly has a respect for car culture as a whole. This is the duo the world needs.
I'm starting to choose a body and begin to gather parts for a "vacation cruiser" kind of car, maybe a station wagon from the 60s or 70s. With that very V6 engine, Gale was discussing and a hybrid from someone like Rich. Rich has done some incredible things with all-electric, I'm sure he could perfect a hybrid. Now I'm wishing I had to money just to ship them a complete car and turn them both loose and see what comes back.
I love what Rich and Gale are doing here. In the big picture, the environment is no reason to bash hot rodding. It's just taking the world time to truly get a gas replacement.
When you do the collaboration with Rich Rebuilds, I hope that you give it as much video time as you did with the truck build. I, for one, will be looking forward to watching this build. Who knows what we will see next year when the both of you present, to the world another awesome and fantastic Hot Rod. As I'm sure that all the folks that watched your videos from your latest project are looking forward to these videos and watching you two brainstorming and coming up with some mind-blowing build. Please keep us posted, and thanks for taking all of us along for the latest ride.
Gad, I love it when a plan comes together! Two beautiful builds, two completely different themes, and a potential, powerful fusion to look forward to. I'm pumped about that particular slice of the future!
That is a awesome idea 💡, collaboration with Banks and Rich would be something interesting for sure 😀, looking forward to seeing 👀 this, hopefully this happens 😀. You got my support 😀
Think of how different their starting points and stories are for their lives, then listen to they way the speak to each other from a place of respect for the talents and craft,... THIS is what the car community really is,.. a world wide community of passionate people from enthusiasts to engineers, doing great things for the shared love all things automotive.
I have been subscribed to both of you for so long! This is the build I want to see! you guys need to make it happen! Diesel tesla x built as a tow rig with a real rear end! Whatever would interest these two I want to see!
For smaller diesel engines you could also consider a Mercedes straight six OM648, or if you want a V8 an OM629. If you want mechanical diesel, OM606 is a great block too. I know they're older engines, but they don't get much love state side and they really are awesome engines.
So when do we get to hear this thing run!?! All the videos on its build are phenomenal, and now seeing it in all it's glory is nice, but let's hear the engine whine and see it turn those beautiful wheels and create some tire smoke!
Rich, compact you say? I have a 95 4x4 Geo Tracker, off road beast, on road super light, 30MPG already… I bought with a blown engine…I mean that V6 Diesel will fit.
I assumed that the Jeep v6 was a Mercedes Benz motor from the original Jeep / Benz days. I know it won’t happen in the U.S. but here in New South Wales, Australia our Police Highway Patrol cars are 530D BMW’s very fast and have cut the fuel budget in half.
Gale your knowledge is amazing of only we could stuck a USB stick in your ear and download all your info we would be so much better off for sure I am aiming for a Banks truck in my life.
I didn't know about the Baby Duramax....I want one now...but I want to build it a bit, not too much. At most 400Hp, but 350Hp would be fine. Should be A LOT more torque that way. Would be amazing in my Overweight Overlander....anyone know if they can be purchased as a crate???
I love the fact that Gail discovered Rich and he was super gracious.
Rich does cool stuff. Gail recognized that. Co-lab? We are going to learn some stuff!
Well this isn't a crossover episode I was expecting
This guy has always made me want to buy a diesel just to have his fine exhaustively researched products. He deserves so much respect for decades and decades of dedication to sharing his passion openly. He is the Einstein of diesels. This was so enjoyable.
I was smiling the whole time. Loved this.
Gail just blessed that fella. Hope he knows it and cherishes the time with Gail. Gail Banks is a national treasure. What a time to remember. Love and respect.
Man...The Diesel Guru himself.... I trust no body more than Gale for diesel shit....
He hates black smoke just like me... Black smoke is wasted / unused power ...
Lean is mean!
Exactly wasting money is what black smoke is
My motto it that of your rolling coal, you need a bigger turbo. No need to take out fuel when you can add more oxygen
Man, I'm happy to see more people understand & not hate diesel. I turn everyone I can on to "seriously take a look at Banks stuff", no need to be dummies. Once you understand, theres no reason to do the madness. Black clouds is for suckers!
Awesome, finally someone truly appreciating ICE T for what it is instead of just whining about Rich destroying an EV. Kudos to you sir, ever the gentleman and great thinker Gale Banks ❤👍
A Rich Rebuilds/ Banks collaboration? The stars indeed are in alignment. Cant wait to see what comes of this one. A turbo diesel electric hybrid? The possibilities are endless.
Twin turbo supercharged hybrid dually
Neh.
I love this so much, I cannot describe.
A team up with Richard would be awesome. Would love to see that. I think people underestimate him and his crew. They are geniuses at what they do
And humble... a very rare trait these days! Watching these two interact was mind blowing.
I'm geeking out! I'M GEEKING OUT! SQUEEEEEEE!
I LOVE that Rich and Gale crossed paths. Gale, old-school. Rich, new-wave. Both on the same page and wavelength.
Finally . Someone put a V8 in a Tesla !!!! Thank God for real car people !!!!
Yep. Not dildo power but balls and soundgasms. Real vehicles unlike junk EV's.
@@lancedooley7558 I am with you brother !!!
Too bad the V8 is slower than the stock Tesla.
Like swapping a Honda B16A into a Camaro, who gets accolades for that?
@@MoralConflict You could be the first one to do it.
@@MoralConflict Maybe like putting a B16A in a V6 camaro. They're about the same performance.
Fun watching Rick geek out. Also, no surprise, Gale is a giant.
*Rich is as genuine as a human gets and you can see the RESPECT he has for THE legendary Mr Banks. This is what Mr Banks lives for, an evolutionary man he is.*
Glad to see Gale likes this build. And a build with Gale knowledge and Rich creativity will be great.
A Rich Builds / Banks mash up. Hell yeah
Rich Rebuilds and Gale Banks, two class acts that can't be beat. I look forward to watching Rich's next project to see how awesome your parts, accessories, and goodies make the project sing.
Gale and Rich together wow, it's gonna be a good day today.
Yes! Rich and Gale need to collaborate again!
Can't wait for a Gale / Rich project!
We gotta see Rich's Telsa on an air ride trailer being towed by Lokjaw.

I’ve got goosebumps over here.
Rich is one of my other favorite RUclipsrs to watch. I can’t wait to see what happens when both teams get together!
I had a customer bring in an RV,,,, I popped open the engine cover and there stood a huge 12 valve Cummins with banks power pack on top and various other parts from banks. I was honored to work on that.
I hope to one day have gale looking at one of my own builds with that sort of admiration! That’s something to be proud of!
I thoroughly appreciate his enthusiasm.

Love it! Rich Rebuilds rubbing elbows with the Banks gods.

Yes!!!! They're gonna work together! That's all I hoped for since I saw Rich on the last video and here it is.
Mr Banks. The legend. "It's a cylinder and a half shorter we have engine management for it "
I just saw the look in Gales eye !! with the wheels turning ! like a MAD scientist !!!!!!
check out the r2.8 or the 4bt for that project. The cummins comes as a crate motor
Gail meets Rich is the greatest combo ever!!!
I was quite shocked and happy to see a gale banks and rich beniot cross over
This is an awesome collab!
Agreed.
Mr Banks is such a gentleman and really appreciates good engineering.
That is a awesome idea 💡, collaboration with Banks and Rich would be something interesting for sure 😀, looking forward to seeing 👀 this, hopefully this happens 😀. You got my support 😀
So, SO cool! VM Motori Gale Banks 630T, inside a Rich Rebuilds, sounds fantastic. Best to you both!
Rich Rebuilds and Banks is a great combo!
To quote a famous actor, "This is the start of something beautiful! “ Gale and Rich is a marriage made in heaven!
Hahahaha wow, that guy is a mad scientist! I love that Tesla build!
Love both Rich and Gale, lovely work on both projects. Great meeting between two great hot rodding minds!
Banks is a gem 💎.
What a collaboration, can’t wait to see what they come up with
OK seriously, y'all have to collaborate now... I want to see a Gale and Rich diesel monster!!! 8D

Awesome happy for both uncle rich and gale
The guy has come a long way from fixing busted Teslas on the drive.
That was a great vid to see.
Duramax Cybertruck needs to happen!
a 4bt would be a good idea too
I have been subscribed to both of you for so long! This is the build I want to see! you guys need to make it happen! Diesel tesla x built as a tow rig with a real rear end! Whatever would interest these two I want to see!
Please make this happen!!. For all who love the hobby!! DEEP EAST OAKLAND
That's a collab i want to see !
A place for everything and a small block Chevy in that place!
DIPCHITS IN DUNLOPS was ahead of the game with his supercharged IDI
I'm so excited for this collaboration
I'd be more interested in an M57 or OM606, but I'm sure whatever these two come up with will be great
Gale is a legend rich is a legend omg!
This is very cool. I never knew Rich Rebuilds last name. If you haven't checked out his channel it's hilarious.
For smaller diesel engines you could also consider a Mercedes straight six OM648, or if you want a V8 an OM629. If you want mechanical diesel, OM606 is a great block too. I know they're older engines, but they don't get much love state side and they really are awesome engines.
This👉🏼👉🏼👉🏼👉🏼 calab would kick some serious asstronaut.... Completely out of this world!!!
Gale Banks, the man who precision engineers everything, meets Rich Benoit, the guy who rebuilt a Tesla with a kitchen knife.... 😁
Two geniuses having a great conversation.
Agreed.
Notice Rich looks over at the very end like “Holy crap this might actually happen! “
So when do we get to hear this thing run!?! All the videos on its build are phenomenal, and now seeing it in all it's glory is nice, but let's hear the engine whine and see it turn those beautiful wheels and create some tire smoke!
Rich Benoit teaming up with Gale Banks? What a crossover
You know it!
Yeah I think it's going to be even better next year
Hopefully this collaboration may come through !
So much awesome in one video!
He meant AIR BOX! Gale wants to know if you have a Hot Stick or a Gale approved cold air intake?
Come on guys you're killing me. LETS HEAR IT ALREADY!
I like how we went from a hand crafted , meticulous level of fabrication , craftsmanship and engineering to a engine swapped Tesla ..
Gail is 80 wow.. 🤜💥🤛
Cheers 🥂
This was awesome!
"sick and wrong" i love it
Top 10 greatest anime crossovers.
Banks built diesel Tesla would be sick an om606 might fit perfectly well
Its about time someone did a v8 swapp on a Tesla. Now we need a Cummins swaped Tesla. Totally would be the opposite of green.
Rich, compact you say? I have a 95 4x4 Geo Tracker, off road beast, on road super light, 30MPG already… I bought with a blown engine…I mean that V6 Diesel will fit.
So when do we get to see this Duramax powered beast drag race or dyno ?!
i hope you do a hybrid diesel
Tesla with L5P duramax need to happens!
Duramax everything!
💪💪
Agreed.
When two worlds collide 👌💖
This is awesome!
I assumed that the Jeep v6 was a Mercedes Benz motor from the original Jeep / Benz days. I know it won’t happen in the U.S. but here in New South Wales, Australia our Police Highway Patrol cars are 530D BMW’s very fast and have cut the fuel budget in half.
Nope, Vm motori. Italian diesel company. 3.0 260hp and either 442 or 480lb/ft depending on configuration. Love it in our wrangler rubicon
There needs to be a duramax in a cyber truck
The Tesla needs an 8/71 and bugcatcher hanging through the hood. If you're out to be different, be out there obviously different.
A small powerful diesel engine? Try some European magic ising a 1.9tdi PD and you'll be surprised 😉😉
This is awesome.
Cybertruck with duramax would be cool 🤣🤣
Gale your knowledge is amazing of only we could stuck a USB stick in your ear and download all your info we would be so much better off for sure I am aiming for a Banks truck in my life.
I didn't know about the Baby Duramax....I want one now...but I want to build it a bit, not too much. At most 400Hp, but 350Hp would be fine. Should be A LOT more torque that way.
Would be amazing in my Overweight Overlander....anyone know if they can be purchased as a crate???
awesome video
