      If customer wants the DPF to barely need to regen, tell him an oil/air separator will save a lot of headaches. ProVent 200 or RCC351K or similar (with 1micron filter media).
      Once all the other drama is solved ofc.

    Hello from Norway.
    I enjoy seeing your work.
    For approx 25 years I was doing the same.
    Although we almost never saw cars and trucks as clean as you work on. You see - I started working as GM tech 1982. We did american GM cars and trucks. For some time we did Mitsubishi, Isuzu and Alfa Romeo.
    In those days gasket industry hadn’t come as far as today. Every day we had to deal with oil leaks. Not to forget the Oldsmobile 5,7 L diesel engine. A huge piece of lousy engineering. And we had loads of them. The japanese cars of those days were even worse! Honestly I got sick and tired of dirty cars and trucks after 30 years in diffrent workshops. Spent about 10 years in Honda and Harley Davidson motorcycle shops until knees and back got too bad. Now am 64 - still do some light jobs on cars and motorcycles - just to kill time.
    Keep up the good work - but don’t forget to look at yourself.

    @ 23:00 The reason GM does not want you to solder those connections is because a soldering iron can actually transfer back voltage to the ECM and damage it. Technically this back voltage issue can be worked around by simply soldering with a mini-torch instead of a soldering iron, but that itself is a "bulky" task considering the space to work with. Much easier to just heat shrink it.

      the reason you don't solder is that soldering makes the wire brittle and then it will break off. Nothing to do with back voltage which by the way there is none as the soldering iron is not connected to the heating element.

    I've got to say ray it's been really interesting watching your comments section grow exponentially over the last few months since I started watching you. I have to say that's the 1st time I've ever heard changing out the fuel lines whenever you do an injector. My work has sent me to school For almost all of the major companies and not a single one of them has ever stated that you should replace the fuel lines. Also the mass air flow sensor was interesting too because we only replaced them if they fail otherwise we spray them down with some break clean and put them back in, I don't know if that's the difference between maintaining a fleet and working on other people's cars or what. Was nice actually seeing you get to dive into a diesel That isn't your own.

My wife is curious about the arrangements made with your boss, as she jokes about the value of a one armed mechanic, lol. You've inspired us to do mostly all of the repairs to our own vehicle, a 2007 Jeep Wrangler. Super easy to work on, compared to some of the ones that show up at your shop. But, still a challange for us tyros. Thanks

    You should learn how to re pin those wires for connectors. And pretty sure there a tool that removes the wires from connector with the pins in tact. That way you don’t have to cut and splice any wires

      If GM provide the connectors, already pinned and wired , and shrink wrapped crimp connectors, they don’t want you to re-pin the new connector?

    It is surprising the GM recommends a crimp type connector versus soldering. The connector is for 14 -16 gauge wire which is OK for the connector side but the truck wiring side is probably 22 gauge and I can see that being a high resistance fail after a while.

      Soldering has been shown to create a brittle area with wires more likely to break at the edge of the solder joint. But it does have a better connection if it can be secured

    Why replace the return fuel line? Wouldn't it be easier, and more cost effective, to just replace the copper washers for the banjo bolts? Also, I didn't see you torque the injector hold down. That's always a critical torque spec on every diesel engine I've worked on.

    L5P’s run Denso HP4 injection pumps and Denso injectors. GM/Isuzu should’ve learned their lessons earlier from the many failed reports with the Bosch CP4 injection pumps that plagued earlier 2011-2016 LML Duramax’s. I was grateful to have not had an issue with my LML, but I got rid of the LML for a L5P. RAM took notice of their mistake of running the CP4 and began issuing recalls for the 2019-2020 RAM Cummins HD’s. CP4 failure just comes down to luck. Some fail, and some don’t. It comes down to if you like to live dangerously! 😂😂

    Your electrical work including folding the stripped wire back is the exact same method I have used for many years. Been wrenching for over 55 years and like your style of repairs. I know that that intake runner must be full of soot also, but you can only go so far into these repairs without a full engine overhaul, and thats hard to sell for 1 cyl misssfire. My last service truck had the regen system, and would want to regen at all the wrong times (like in the middle of the Oakland Bay Bridge, or the Golden Gate Bridge), now I'm looking for a motorhome but it will NOT have anything like regen, Blue Def or any of the other crap they now put on diesel engines, problem is I live in California and may not be able to register anything that does'nt have the approved clean idle garbage. Great channel Ray, Thank You.
