Love the build. I have a 08 LMM myself. The reason for the gap under the grill is because that's a 1500 grill not a 2500. I made that mistake myself lol.
Banks cover definitely worth money, sight glass, drain plug, fill plug, cooling fins, inside channel to push fluid to the side for axle bearings. Diesel is 4.59 in North pa.
Man those side view mirrors would look great if you mixed and matched the color match panel on top with the chrome panel on the bottom. Best of both worlds and a subtle uniqueness.
Had the same problem with the chrome on my truck. I sat very Patiently for three nights and literally peeled the chrome off piece by piece using a razor blade. Plastic came out smooth and I repainted it a darker gray to match the rest of the truck.
What chrome areas of your truck did this? My chrome strip on doors are doing this bad, and have attempted to find replacements to no avail, But I’ve thought about attempting to flack or peel it off and maybe paint the plastic underneath? But once you start- ain’t no turning back… so wasn’t sure how it would turn out.
This was on the center chrome piece on my grill. You have to be very careful not to Nick the plastic under the chrome. I wouldn’t try to sand the plastic chrome off, that’s a big problem.
Them are the exact mirrors I want, have them in my cart on their website and all. Just have some stuff going on and just spent 3k on my truck, did front end, all the filters. Bout to do 30% injectors and 3 inch down pipe.
Really like what you have done with this and all of your trucks. Just not a fan of the white or any running lights on the mirrors. Just me. I do like the reverse lights and the sequential turn signals. Diesel was $5.19 yesterday. Northern part of VA. in the mountains. Oh, 4+” of snow this morning also.
Just so you know. The bumper isn’t your issue. The grill is made for a 1500 not 2500. Replacing it with the same grill it originally came with will solve your problems.
In PA where I am, it's not much differnet for diesel. According to gas buddy, diesel is anywhere from $4.00 to $5.30. I think im going to invest in a transfer tank for extra fuel
Josh ... Keep the chrome mirror trim on for now...my grill looked same also ... I painted the grey honeycomb gloss black and the bowtie also..you should do the Wifemax the same !!!!! ... Nice touch removing the powder coating off the differential cover ribs..thanks for the content
Hey mr truck Master the black tow hook look really good on the truck better than red the tow major they look good i don't know what truck i like more of your u got so many nice truck to choose from u definitely my favorite RUclipsr mr truck Master
Looks awesome I like the chrome mirrors. All though that grill looks small for the truck. That's a 1500 grill it kinda looks weird on a HD. 4.39 a gallon for diesel.
Man, what a fantastic truck. Absolutely awesome!! Sad part is you will eventually move it on and get another builder to fix up. And someone will love owning it. For like 75k.
Maaaan, that dude was so excited. I enjoyed watching him completely go nuts over winning the truck. Next time show the drawing and also maybe someone with a pulse will win it. I can’t believe he only used to go through one truck a year as crazy as he is. 🤓
Very nice upgrades. Looks great. I filled my truck a couple days ago. It was $1.71 a litre. Works out to $6.50 a gallon. I was at 1/4 tank. My wallet was much lighter after.
The LMM is my favorite build of yours. I have a red 2007.5 Silverado 1500. I’m definitely going to keep my eye out for a clean red LMM. Personally I like the gold bow tie, but the red is a nice touch
$5.01 Spanaway Washington right now.......dangit that hurts my 2002 lb7 has a factory 56 gallon tank......and the gas stations around here have a maximum of $75 per transaction.....so it takes forever to fill it up
The ppe rear diff covers , are they like new banks . Banks did review on all rear diffs cover and then made there own with the oil actually covering the gear , did ppe do the same thing with the diff cover you put on the lmm.
What's next for the L5P? Have you decided if you're going to install an emissions compliant "tuner"? I have the Banks "Derringer" and love it so far with about 10k miles. With those PPE manifolds and other stuff you've got done I think it'd be incredible!
Why did the old grill go all the way down to the bumper and the new one has a gap at the bottom? $4.79 a gallon here in utah I bet it hits $5.00 by summer. Trucks are all looking good 👍
I have to replace a bunch of front end parts from hitting a deer, should I go with an aftermarket radiator and trans cooler or should I go with stock. 05 lly
Josh With the PPE exhaust manifold and up pipes, 3" down pipe. What was your egt's when pulling the gooseneck and the Dodge, thinking investing some to put on my LMM.
My 2015 half ton Silverado had the grille delaminate after 2 years, replaced under warranty by Graff Durand. I'll second the guy a few below, look into the Banks diff cover. At least look at his videos.
Looking pretty cool that would look good on my truck,I'm having an issue with my truck it keep wiping out the rear transfer case seal and I have a vibration between 50 and 60 miles an hour I put in all new u joints carrier bearings and marked how it took it apart about every 1500 miles it start leaking
@@ozziecrosby2092 no never checked for recalls ,my sons truck did the same thing but it was under warranty they never did find what caused his told him to keep driving it till something broke so he sold it and bought a ford solved the problem
$4.78 a gallon here in Lansing, MI
What are you guys seeing?
Comment below 👇
4.89 in elk rapids
5.09 in georgia
$4.19 here in elroy, wi
4.20 Detroit

Would definitely go with Banks rear differential cover after watching Gale Banks explain of fluid dynamics in rear end.
I’m sure it’s very minimal gains between the two
this one isn't a flat face like gale was comparing to

You should solid axle swap one of your duramax's since there are not to many tutorials to do solid axle swap
(👍Good Video 👍)
Great idea
I agree!
$4.99 gallon Oologah OK, I like that rear diff cover, and the Red Bow Tie, yeah buddy and the Mirrors are great.
Just so you know. The bumper isn’t your issue. The grill is made for a 1500 not 2500. Replacing it with the same grill it originally came with will solve your problems.
I was curious if anyone else picked up on this! I noticed it in the first minute when the new grille was sitting on the table.
@@Midlifeglamping yea same here. I thought he would also notice or think about it. But boy was I wrong. Wrong grill so let’s adjust the bumper up.
Such a beautiful truck, you have worked hard for all you have just hope I can be like you one day keep up the awesome content
Buying a new bumper for a small dent 😂 must be nice!
Thinking bout putting an oven in my shop to powder coat. Looks good!
Love the truck it just keeps getting better!Idea for the mirrors I’d paint match the mirror arms and leave the caps chrome!
My 09 chrome on the front bumper end cap did the same thing. Love them mirrors. Great content as always.
She’s a real beaut Clark. I have a red 2008 LTZ so I’m paying close attention!
Crome on the mirrors. , and the new grille looks awesome as does the new black tow hooks :-)
Thanks 🙏
5$+ a gallon on Oregon for diesel. At certain stations.
I personally liked the red tow hooks. And I think your grille would look cool paint matched
I just want the factory five Star rims you took off of it 👍🏼😎i just bought a beat up 09 lmm that needs all the help it can get

The mirrors look awesome I’m definitely going to put a set on my lly. Diesel is 5.00 in Maine currently.
This duramax is literally my dream truck, i love the way it’s coming along.
That's a 1500 grille you got there. It would look better with a 2500/3500 grille. Love the build.
Its 1.85 a litre here in Cambridge Ontario which is 6.9 a gal in Canadian dollars
Learning something every day. Had no idea my 07 1/2 was the last year for non regen system.
Seriously love the LMM content is some good motivationfor mine. We're sitting at 4.90 here in SE Virginia
Thanks for watching the videos brother 👍👍👍
I have an lml duramax that has a chrome bumper that is bubbling just like your grill!!
Grill looks great but your truck comes with the newer HD grill, that’s why you have a small gap between the bumper, looks awesome tho!
Hey mr truck Master the black tow hook look really good on the truck better than red the tow major they look good i don't know what truck i like more of your u got so many nice truck to choose from u definitely my favorite RUclipsr mr truck Master
Here in Victoria Australia we are between $1.94-$2.06 per litre for diesel 1 year ago I payed $1.13 a litre
I seen it today in lansing at 4.89$. And I get it at BJ,S wholesale, in grand ledge, at 4.15$.
Looks awesome I like the chrome mirrors. All though that grill looks small for the truck. That's a 1500 grill it kinda looks weird on a HD. 4.39 a gallon for diesel.
Your correct on the grille I just ordered the correct one 😂
@Truck Master Other than that I love the truck. Hope to own a duramax one day.

$4.80 for 93 fuel gas here in Southern Maine The added color changes looks great😄
My '08 LMM grille is bubbling as well on the passenger side top corner

My grille did the same thing on my 09 lmm I peeled it all off and raptor lined looks pretty good
I want the boost auto tow mirrors bad but the paintable covers.
The LMM is sick. The upgrades are nice. Great video Josh
Thanks 🙏

A bit of an unrelated question, and I understand you may have covered it before. Do you tow with rear wheel spacers on your lifted Riggs?
I personally do not but others have and they never had any issues just make sure everything is tight before pulling a trailer
Just realized how tall that truck is when you were pulling the door panels! Alot has changed!
But I’m short 😂
Oh, forgot to mention a black zip tie in the eyelet of the shackle pin to the shackle will ensure they dont back off and stop a quick thief.
Red mirror caps and mesh chrome grill and aftermarket headlights and tailights also get the matching rear bumper
Id put the red vaps on the mirrors, definitely a beautiful truck!
I think they sent you the wrong 🤔 grill that one is for the 1500 the 2500hd has the divide grill but it still looks good 👍🏽
How’s that L5P coming? Any future plans? Just picked up a 2018. Doing the same build you did.
Nice diff cover but I think you shoulda went with the banks ram air he did a Long video on it and su h great job none the less
keep the great work man just finsh doing body work chevy lbz can't wait to be finsh so I can drive here again
Thanks 🙏
Chrome door handles would really pop on this truck! What made you go with the 1500 grille?
5.60 for diesel in Washington state. Some spots 5.99
$4.79 in GA as well

I have an 07.5 and the front bumper’s chrome is bubbling like the grill that was replaced
Hello Josh and Melanie. The truck is looking awesome
4.13/gl for diesel here in Utah at the local Costco.
That Rig is so Sick!!! Nice job!!!
Thanks
to go with the chrome plus red together on the grill you should make the bottom mirror cap red and the top chrome
theres gonna be a big gap because you got the half ton grill
What's next for the L5P?
Have you decided if you're going to install an emissions compliant "tuner"? I have the Banks "Derringer" and love it so far with about 10k miles. With those PPE manifolds and other stuff you've got done I think it'd be incredible!
where i live in Calif. its over 6 dollars a gal.
That’s crazy
Honestly go with chrome for the mirrors it mainly because you have a chrome grill it will go good with the truck in my opinion
Love the little touches man really makes a difference 🤙🏻
Great video Josh. When you open the oven after powdercoating, is their much offgassing of fumes?
Truck looks amazing Josh
5.69 - 5.89 here in San Bernardino county, California….would you sell the diff cover already powder coated?
the new grill kinda looks like a 1500 grill
It is I messed up
Are you going to sell that grill because I could use it the chrome on my 1500 grill is all peeled off
Why did the old grill go all the way down to the bumper and the new one has a gap at the bottom? $4.79 a gallon here in utah I bet it hits $5.00 by summer. Trucks are all looking good 👍
I'm guessing he bought the 1500 grille. Not sure why but I'd be swapping that out for a 2500 style grill. Other wise gorgeous truck.
I just bought a Foxwell scan tool!
Wife max needs a purple bowtie. That truck looks great
Do you have any discount code for the boost auto parts mirrors??
3.89 for diesel down in Arkansas
Great video Thanks 👍👍👍👍👍💯
Get chrome door handles for it or paint match them
Man that truck is looking sweet! Good job.
Let's get some red LED lighting in that gauge cluster 🤔😁
You put a 1500 grill not a 2500 grill should get a 11-14
Your absolutely correct I actually just ordered a 2500 one 😂 after posting the video
@@TruckMaster I had a 08 and did the 13 grill bumper
Yes, that gap is huge!
@@TruckMaster Josh....are you ordering OEM grills or a off brand? My LMM Sierra could use a new grill but I'm considering if I should go OEM or not.
Can you post a link for the rough country bumper…. The web site doesn’t show one for 08 2500hd
Nice upgrades black hooks much better.,
Rear diff cover really dosnt help unless you use banks, the fins cant grab any air check out his youtube video on rear diff covers. Looks good though.
My brother's 96 gmc grill cut his hand open with the pealing chrome
Where did you get that grill? I like that style.
$4.29 a gallon in Oklahoma. Great video! Do you recommend the foxwell scanner over the artidiag?
I think my Artidiag is a little easier to use but they both do the same thing
