If you need help doing head gaskets and studs in a couple months, let me know. It will blow in the back on the passenger side were the exhaust runs due to the heat. The Dmax won't last long beating on it with a tuner without some upgrades...
I have a 5.9 06' Cummins with a Banks economind tuner and it adjust power on the fly in about 3 seconds and it changes the way the truck drives a lot. Love it.
Hey Mike, the next time you do this, you can also use a shop-vac held right against the drill bit to keep the manifold clean. It does a really good job of keeping the shavings out of the exhaust system.
Awesome. I love suggestion of having engine running to keep metal from falling in. An old trick i have often used is pack your drill bit or tap with thick grease and the grease will catch most of the metal flakes.
I love the show. Use jackstands. I do lots of dumb stuff, but this is not one of them. Anything greater than changing tires = jackstand. Esp if you're setting the "non roadkill" (zing) example.
Hey mike, the rubber tape they gave you is called mastic tape. Stuff is really great! They suggest you wrap it with friction tape to it from prevent sticking to other things.
@MikeFinnegan, When I was doing mobile service on large industrial blowers and didn't want to take them out of service, I would put heavy grease on the drill bit and tap and it would all get stuck in the grease, Wipe out the grease and you're done. Works great especially for cast iron. And maybe some Nickel Anti- Seize if you ever plan on getting that thing out again
I would love to thank you every since I show my stepson your RUclips channel he is been helping me on my 69 Ford and he's been telling me not to drive it until he turns 18 and he's only 6 Thank you
The reason you tap it there besides being easy is because that's one of the truest spots to get the temperature. Alot of people make the mistake of putting it on at the exhaust you lose temperature as it goes through the turbo and it doesn't matter the temperature reading after the turbo it matters before the turbo.
Mike there are kits you can get for your Duramax that will let you use the much larger CAT fuel filter/water separator or a two stage filter and water separator. I did a kit from the now defunct XX-Fuel that used much larger filters than the crappy stock filter on my 06 Dodge. It was way easier to change those filters once or twice a year at most instead of 5 or 6 times a year from the factory. Plus the dual filters did a much better job than the factory setup.
The Banks Six Gun I have lets me change power levels on the fly. Towing hard and EGT's getting up there?- Dial the power down. Someone wants to drag race during your morning commute, crank it up. Can't believe they don't all do this, it's pretty damned useful. I'm always changing levels while driving.
JUST SEEN JACOB AND THE GREEN HORNET ON HOONIGAN!!!!!! But I know who else got their hands dirty lol. Good Job Finnegan. Love your show and love you on roadkill!
Just a side note you dont need to take the inner fender out to change the fuel filter. Just jack it up, pull the tire if you feel like it and pull the inner finder out as far as you can get it then unplug the water seperator and use a large band wrench to loosen the filter. Then just repeat the process in reverse and prime the system with the fancy plunger on top under the intake tube. I do like 10 to 15 of those a day
Hey mike when you go and program it go into the custom tune and look for shift firmness or line pressure and Max the setting for the transmission. Even the tow tune will wreck the Allison C2 and C3 clutch packs and there expensive to rebuild even if you DIY it. Whatever setting you run your gonna want to tune the trans. Also look into a Transgo JR shift kit for the valve body it will help keep your ATF temps down when towing by swapping out the pressure regulator valve that controls fluid flow threw the converter and so on. Like the truck I'd like to keep seeing more modifying as you go.
You should use some moly dee on that tap too. Most tapping outside of a machine shop can be considered a high pressure situation since your usually hand tapping. Some moly dee adds a little insurance that your tap will stay in one piece.
You gotta be really confident that your not gonna break a drill or tap when you do it with the truck running, if you do break one you basically have a super-Hoover sucking all the stuff in. I like the video, looking forward to hearing the pros/cons of the 10 lug adapters.
Another great vid - keep 'em coming sir! I just ordered you first/vintage tee - very much looking forward to wearing it and hopefully getting some who are not "in the know" informed when they ask about the tee. Cheers Mate!
hey finn, unlike all these dateless wonders in the comments defending the absence of jack stands you have a life (and family) worth keeping. don't skip the safety.
Adding some grease to the tap will also help to keep shavings from falling inside the manifold. However, the exhaust manifold may get hot enough to simply make a big mess with melted grease everywhere. Hi-temp grease should do the trick.
Put grease on the drill bit and tap and use a shop vac at the same time...no worries. I've tapped over a dozen manifolds (intake and exhaust) with no problems and jackstands just get it the way😳. I use the Edge TrailDash II in my '13 Rubicon but EFI Live on my Cummins...love the power and gauge options! Love the channel
Even more useful in situations where you can't run the engine, for example when re-threading a spark plug hole. (Yes, I know this is a diesel, I'm talking General Tech Tips here...) "And now, a quit tep tick from Linton Check."
The Gear indicators in the dash is controlled by the PCM as well. When my shift linkage bushing broke, the cable came off the trans completely, but computer knew the trans was in reverse regardless where I kept moving the shifter. It's an 03 GMC Envoy 5.3L (LS that needs a turbo upgrade, want to maker her a sleeper!)
Jacks stands man. Have had multiple hydraulic jacks fail, brand new and old ones. I know it's just an extra step but it WILL save your ass one day. And possibly your life.
Yeah, the front hub landing on your leg is gonna be a bad time. Just because you're not getting under the vehicle doesn't mean it's safe. Of course, I'm not gonna tell the man how to live. But we would like to keep enjoying his content for the foreseeable future :) At least put the wheel under the lower control arm so it lands on that instead of your leg.
I always chuck the wheel I take off under the frame (or on bigger\lifted trucks, axle) regardless of if I have jack stands or not. Its a great trick for not ending up flatter than Wiley Coyote in a road runner flick, and it works even when your changing to a spare next to the highway and not going to have jack stands ect with you.
the fuel water seperator and filter are easily changed out from the top side. also i would advise a rebuild kit for the housing that the filter ataches to. if you have any kind of leak it will cause major problems including damage the injection pump that is on the engine. no telling on a used truck if the seals have ever been redone.
We have ran a lot of wiring through many trucks. We have a 2015 silverado and we run 2 snow plows and a strobe through the firewall. And I have to say that the firewall hole has gotten alot tighter. (Thats what she said)
Hey Mike, it's your truck do with it as you please, but I HIGHLY suggest not using that Edge tuner for adding power. Handheld programmers are only designed to add power (obviously) with no regards to the transmission in terms of safe tuning. Custom EFI Live tuning is a much safer and better option if you care about keeping your transmission alive long term. Plus, since you have a variable geometry turbo, tuning is available to have it act as an exhaust brake with tow/haul mode engaged in the tow tune. I've towed with and without an exhaust brake and it is a MUCH better towing experience when you have an exhaust brake on top of the grade braking feature. Just some food for thought buddy!
For drill and tap matching charts, there is an awesome phone app called "iEngineer". Not sure if they have it on android or not. This app lets you select your fastener type, and then tells you the drill sizes for 50% and 75% meat tap holes, and also loose and tight fit through holes. It also has fraction to decimal conversion charts and a whole bunch of other features/info along these lines. Way more handy than google, especially if you are stuck out in the desert without internet access. Also yes, get a physical chart and tape that sucker up in your shop!
If you put grease all over your drill bit and your tap the grease will hold the metal shavings from falling in if it doesnt grab all of them, use a small magnet to grab metal shavings as well.
The egt probe goes in the manifold because that is the temperature you are actually worried about, it will be hottest there. Anything downstream from that had cooled off and gives a false reading of what the really expensive parts are seeing.
The most important thing to remember when drilling the exhaust is to use a stepped cutter (or tree cutter) that you have dulled by trying to drill through a beer keg.
Add some axle grease to the drill bit and tap to hold onto the metal shavings. Did some teenager recommend starting it while drilling and tapping? Clean chrome will not rust or pit anti detailer.
Regards the inner liner. If you do need / expect frequent access behind the liner replace the clips with some cheap alloy rivnuts / nutserts and small bolts and washers. Now with your handy dandy electric driver the guard liners are off faster than the clothes on a honeymoon couple ;-).
I just did this on my LMM a week ago... wish i would have known the engine running trick. I just stuck a little pen magnet inside the hole when i was done, that works good.
The best way to deal with the chips is to slather grease on the bit before punch through and while tapping. Nearly all the chips will stick to the grease.
I couldn't help but notice your fog light button is broken just like mine in that same era chevy truck. Just a comment but when I added a backup camera to my truck I rigged mine to run off a switch rather than the reverse lights. This way I can flip it on when towing and be able to see the hitch, etc of the trailer while going down the road, which is great if you're paranoid about having an issue.
Should have got a Cummins. All I had to do to drill and tap my exhaust manifold was open the hood, stand on the bumper, drill, tap, put the probe in, plug it in and BAM, good to go. Took like a few minutes. Also, get a FASS or Airdog lift pump and you'll have better filtration, filters will be under the driver side of the cab so easy to get to, plus you can have them flow more fuel if you need it.
vulcanization tape! wrap the plug, then get some scotchkote to cover that for a good weather proof connector. make sure you cant see the lines in the tape, two coats!
It's worth noting that some states don't like you covering up the state name on the license plate with the backup camera and you can get a ticket because of this.
Sorry for talking about Roadkill here but I think it would be awesome to see a Triton V10 in the Digustang. So if you could pass that idea onto Freiburger to see if he likes the idea that would be awesome.
That year of Duramax you dont need to take the Inner fender out for the fuel filter you can change it from the top. Filter Wrench, Channel locks and a 13mm for the little plastic bolt for priming and youre done 10 minute job. 20 the first time lol
Mike for that kit to be really complete they should have included a roll of duct tape . i mean zip ties are cool . but they are no match for a good roll of duct tape. my choice is the 3M brand.
You thought about doing the coilover conversion on the front? I'm going to be doing it on my truck as the drivers torsion bar is worn to where max adjustment on the key is barely standard ride height.....
My truck has efi live and can switch power levels on the fly with the CTS2. Might be just for efi, but the CTS2 does have the capability. In case that missing function was a turn off for anyone. My truck is an '05 Duramax btw. Might be different capabilities based on the year as well.
I honestly love your videos because they don't have any background music. Just straight talking with your viewers and focusing on the job at hand.
I love your trust in the Harbor Freight jack you have and an absence of jackstands...
Matthew Mueller That is not a harbor freight jackstand lol but most Chinese stuff is the same
ricochetey some stuff is actually better than US spec stuff though, I have had more US built motors fail than Chinese made lawnmower engines
If you need help doing head gaskets and studs in a couple months, let me know. It will blow in the back on the passenger side were the exhaust runs due to the heat. The Dmax won't last long beating on it with a tuner without some upgrades...
And a trans build a month after that...
I particularly liked the hint to run the engine while drilling for the EGT sensor. Keep it up.
Keep putting out great content man! You are doing great!
You should take stubby bob to do a wheelie on the dock at the hoonigan office
I saw that comment on that video as well. The dude got like, maybe, a half inch off the ground.
if stubby bob would fit on the dock that would be cool to see
and it would tumble off the dock because...Roadkill
pretty sure its my comment your talking about lol. We all need to thumbs up stubby bob comments. So we can see it happen.
It'll probably hit the roof
Sitting here with rods and pins in my leg in pain thank God for this show I love it
edge FTW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i install many of these at work, Edge makes a great product and there customer support is awesome!!!!!!!
This time on roadkill...oh wait wrong channel
BAM!
Same
Guitars Cars ETC. ETC. I miss road kill so much 😞
cole perkins It’s still around and better than ever. What are you talking about?
Ah, a fresh car video to watch today. Saved me from stale stuff.
I have a 5.9 06' Cummins with a Banks economind tuner and it adjust power on the fly in about 3 seconds and it changes the way the truck drives a lot. Love it.
Finally ! I know where to get tin snips, no more chisel and hammer. Thank you so much this changes everything
Bro... those zip tie placement skills are ON POINT!!!!
Hey Mike, the next time you do this, you can also use a shop-vac held right against the drill bit to keep the manifold clean. It does a really good job of keeping the shavings out of the exhaust system.

If you're trying to keep us out of jail try selling pants.
get an axle stand under that thing, I love you man, I don't wanna see you get hurt!
I have the older edge cts unit in my truck and I love it. Great unit and it has all the power I want.
I would love to thank you every since I show my stepson your RUclips channel he is been helping me on my 69 Ford and he's been telling me not to drive it until he turns 18 and he's only 6 Thank you

You dont lie about the most comfy shirts i have my nitrous blue jerry rigg shirt on. Thanks finnegan
Finally!!!! Clear instructions on where to put our "probe".....
That CTS2 is pretty sweet Finnegan . Almost as sweet as your new shirts. I be getting a couple right now.
Damn Finnegan, even I'm not crazy enough to do that without jack stands.
Who needs jack stands when you have a friend nearby
The Banks Six Gun I have lets me change power levels on the fly. Towing hard and EGT's getting up there?- Dial the power down. Someone wants to drag race during your morning commute, crank it up. Can't believe they don't all do this, it's pretty damned useful. I'm always changing levels while driving.
love the harbor freight poly ratchet. the trick to npt tapping is making sure you are tapping too far because the tap has an extreme taper.
You're awesome. Love the way you explain what you are doing, using, and why.
Love the duramax videos thanks finnegan
Eric G agreed
That Duramax is gonna go boom
JUST SEEN JACOB AND THE GREEN HORNET ON HOONIGAN!!!!!! But I know who else got their hands dirty lol. Good Job Finnegan. Love your show and love you on roadkill!
That is a great tap & dye set w/ bits, wow.
Just a side note you dont need to take the inner fender out to change the fuel filter. Just jack it up, pull the tire if you feel like it and pull the inner finder out as far as you can get it then unplug the water seperator and use a large band wrench to loosen the filter.

X2 With what Jeremy Smith said. I always dip the bit and the tap in grease along with running the engine keeps the chips out of the exhaust.
a good tip for backup cameras is pull the power wires out in the back and tap it into the backup light, but the switch in the programmer is cool
I'm impressed!! You still have the OEM filter attached..
You should use some moly dee on that tap too. Most tapping outside of a machine shop can be considered a high pressure situation since your usually hand tapping. Some moly dee adds a little insurance that your tap will stay in one piece.
You gotta be really confident that your not gonna break a drill or tap when you do it with the truck running, if you do break one you basically have a super-Hoover sucking all the stuff in. I like the video, looking forward to hearing the pros/cons of the 10 lug adapters.
WOW! I want it for the rear air bags! want to see your video on that
Yeah! Safety first and you just have a Jack under that truck and your legs.... WOW!!!
Another great vid - keep 'em coming sir!
I just ordered you first/vintage tee - very much looking forward to wearing it and hopefully getting some who are not "in the know" informed when they ask about the tee.
Cheers Mate!
hey finn, unlike all these dateless wonders in the comments defending the absence of jack stands you have a life (and family) worth keeping. don't skip the safety.
Ecosse57 are you new to the show and see this as the most dangerous thing he does?
Adding some grease to the tap will also help to keep shavings from falling inside the manifold. However, the exhaust manifold may get hot enough to simply make a big mess with melted grease everywhere. Hi-temp grease should do the trick.
Dude you help me finally figure out how to not brake a tap and diy set. Thanks bro
Put grease on the drill bit and tap and use a shop vac at the same time...no worries. I've tapped over a dozen manifolds (intake and exhaust) with no problems and jackstands just get it the way😳.

Keep it up dude, good to see you doing your own thing.
Two words "JACK STANDS"
The difference between the truck J-Low and acutal J-Lo, is that J-Low has probably had less guys in her.
That's the truth lol
but i bet they have both been rode hard lmao
Dalton Michaels Good one. Here's a thumbs up.
Dalton Michaels i wanna see mike cummins j low... ?
Dylan Morin how doesn’t your comment have any like Jesus that is classy
Jacks stands man. Have had multiple hydraulic jacks fail, brand new and old ones. I know it's just an extra step but it WILL save your ass one day. And possibly your life.

Have you never seen an episode of Roadkill?
There was a disclaimer at the beginning. He said "i'm not a smart man" what more do you need?
Safety first...that truck is a heavy bitch.....i like this channel keep your limbs intact.
Another way to drill into manifolds and intakes is keep the drill bit tip covered in grease. the grease will hold all the shavings.
the fuel water seperator and filter are easily changed out from the top side. also i would advise a rebuild kit for the housing that the filter ataches to. if you have any kind of leak it will cause major problems including damage the injection pump that is on the engine. no telling on a used truck if the seals have ever been redone.
Hey fin, you can use your existing original cts dash pod for the cts2 you just need a small cheap adapter.
Switching on the fly is so nice. Especially when you are driving and pull up next to someone and roll race
We have ran a lot of wiring through many trucks. We have a 2015 silverado and we run 2 snow plows and a strobe through the firewall. And I have to say that the firewall hole has gotten alot tighter. (Thats what she said)

You can use heavy grease when drilling to catch shavings and just go slow and clean it up carefully.
If you put grease all over your drill bit and your tap the grease will hold the metal shavings from falling in if it doesnt grab all of them, use a small magnet to grab metal shavings as well.
The egt probe goes in the manifold because that is the temperature you are actually worried about, it will be hottest there. Anything downstream from that had cooled off and gives a false reading of what the really expensive parts are seeing.
The most important thing to remember when drilling the exhaust is to use a stepped cutter (or tree cutter) that you have dulled by trying to drill through a beer keg.
Old school know how to modern crap,i love it!!
I love my harbor freight composite 3/8 ratchet. Pretty stout for the price and smooth too.
you can get reverse signal and 12v off your trailer harness also for the back up camera
I never realized that jack stands were such a hot topic with car guys.
Add some axle grease to the drill bit and tap to hold onto the metal shavings. Did some teenager recommend starting it while drilling and tapping? Clean chrome will not rust or pit anti detailer.
Man's not lying, FSM garage shirts are some of the softest I'v ever had.
All that work with no jack stand. Impressive.
Regards the inner liner. If you do need / expect frequent access behind the liner replace the clips with some cheap alloy rivnuts / nutserts and small bolts and washers. Now with your handy dandy electric driver the guard liners are off faster than the clothes on a honeymoon couple ;-).
Grease on the drill bit and pull it out often. Keeps the shavings attatched to the drill.
I just did this on my LMM a week ago... wish i would have known the engine running trick. I just stuck a little pen magnet inside the hole when i was done, that works good.
The best way to deal with the chips is to slather grease on the bit before punch through and while tapping. Nearly all the chips will stick to the grease.
You should put EFI Live programming in it. Your cts2 will still work, but the tuning with efi live is better. It also has tune changes on the fly.
I couldn't help but notice your fog light button is broken just like mine in that same era chevy truck.
Just a comment but when I added a backup camera to my truck I rigged mine to run off a switch rather than the reverse lights. This way I can flip it on when towing and be able to see the hitch, etc of the trailer while going down the road, which is great if you're paranoid about having an issue.
It's always recommended to put the egt on the hottest running cylinder. I'm assuming thats why edge recommended that location.
i love the cts2 i have it on my 05 ram 2500. easy use and install and you can load and save custom tunes so you can change power on the fly. just fyi
Sorry so late to the party but life!!!! that drill for an 1/8 national pipe thread tap should be a 21/64th if I recall correctly.
Also, compounds!.. like I said before, s475 over stock with EFI live is hands down the way to go. Hit up Scott over at SDP.
Hey finnegan you should make your logo and name on a custom shop rag that would be pretty cool
Should have got a Cummins. All I had to do to drill and tap my exhaust manifold was open the hood, stand on the bumper, drill, tap, put the probe in, plug it in and BAM, good to go. Took like a few minutes.
Also, get a FASS or Airdog lift pump and you'll have better filtration, filters will be under the driver side of the cab so easy to get to, plus you can have them flow more fuel if you need it.
When will we the Ebay car stuff? It would also be nice to see Rutledge on this show at some time
Scotch locks and no jack stands. A+
I get 12 volt from the pins on the firewall near the drivers feet on newer Silverados.
vulcanization tape! wrap the plug, then get some scotchkote to cover that for a good weather proof connector. make sure you cant see the lines in the tape, two coats!
It's worth noting that some states don't like you covering up the state name on the license plate with the backup camera and you can get a ticket because of this.
Sorry for talking about Roadkill here but I think it would be awesome to see a Triton V10 in the Digustang. So if you could pass that idea onto Freiburger to see if he likes the idea that would be awesome.
Wright Marshall that would be glorious
Wright Marshall wow, that is an awesome idea. Make it happen, Finn!
That'd be pretty sick actually!
Please god
It would be cool. But I hate that engine with a passion.
That year of Duramax you dont need to take the Inner fender out for the fuel filter you can change it from the top. Filter Wrench, Channel locks and a 13mm for the little plastic bolt for priming and youre done 10 minute job. 20 the first time lol
Room for days to drill out that manifold. My 6.7 was a PITA.
i did it on a 98 jetta tdi... thats a real pita
Man ur the king of slamming trucks any advise on where to start on a 04 Silverado 2wheelmdrive
Mike for that kit to be really complete they should have included a roll of duct tape . i mean zip ties are cool . but they are no match for a good roll of duct tape. my choice is the 3M brand.

My truck has efi live and can switch power levels on the fly with the CTS2. Might be just for efi, but the CTS2 does have the capability. In case that missing function was a turn off for anyone.
My truck is an '05 Duramax btw. Might be different capabilities based on the year as well.
