**A Labor of Love: The Story Behind a Restored Duramax Truck**

The restoration process is a journey that requires patience, dedication, and a willingness to take risks. For this project, our mechanic had his hands full with a Duramax truck that was beyond its prime. With a multitude of problems to tackle, the goal was to bring it back to life in all its glory.

**From Brakes to Charge Pipes**

One of the biggest hurdles to overcome was the brake issue that had developed during power breaking tests. The mechanic noted that the brakes were pretty hard on the truck's braking system, so they would need to address this problem before continuing with the restoration process. Fortunately, the truck did stop, and this presented a temporary reprieve from the issues at hand.

The truck was also running on big slicks, which added to its rugged appearance. The mechanic expressed his excitement about seeing the finished product, noting that it's "pretty legit." Despite some teething problems, including questioning the design of the charge pipes, everything seemed to be coming together.

**A Polished Finish**

As the restoration process progressed, the truck began to take shape. The hood was fitted with new parts, and the mechanic took great care to ensure a smooth finish. The result was a polished look that made the truck's appearance truly shine. One of the key components was the crankshaft pulley, which had been causing some concern among viewers due to its unusual design.

The mechanic addressed the concerns directly, explaining that the pulley is supposed to have an external counterweight that allows it to function properly. This counterweight helps to maintain balance and prevent damage, despite its unusual appearance. The balancer was not actually falling off, as some had speculated.

**Smoke in the Pipe**

A small detail that caught everyone's attention was a smoke coming from the pipe. The mechanic assured viewers that this was perfectly normal, citing the fact that it was part of the truck's design. Despite this, the question on everyone's mind was: why does it look like it's loose? The answer lies in the counterweight system, which can sometimes give the appearance of a wobbly or loose component.

**PRI Event**

For those attending the PRI (Performance Racing Industry) event, there's exciting news. Our mechanic will be showcasing his restored Duramax truck at booth 71-78, alongside other projects. The event takes place from December 8th to 10th at the Indy Event Center Convention Center. This is a rare opportunity to see the truck in person and meet the talented team behind its restoration.

**The Final Stretch**

Despite some technical challenges ahead, our mechanic remains optimistic about completing the project within the year. There's still much work to be done, including transfer case, shifter, transmission, and nitrous line installations. However, with Kyle's help and a great deal of dedication, the truck is making excellent progress.

The goal for the end of the year is to fine-tune the truck for optimal performance, while also addressing any remaining issues. A dyno run will be essential in this phase, allowing our mechanic to gauge power output and make final adjustments before putting it on track.

boxes you guys remember we're giving these away in some random orders anytime you guys purchase from the boostedboys.com these things will jump start your car no problem charge your phone wirelessly you can set it right on the back of this thing once you get it out of the case hazard lights built in set it on the back of the car tons of features packed into this thing so don't forget these will be going out in some random orders and it will get you entered to win the turbo K swap FRS so the boostedboys.com get your merch every five dollars spent get you an entry box buddy all right guys we just showed up here at universal drive shafts dude big day and we have some shots for which race truck here first time it'll be able to move under its own power and get these things installed and really just need to put transmission fluid in it Wing backer out of the driveway so hoping we might be able to drive it for the first time today anytime guys all your projects but we're here to help uh definitely want to build you stuff you guys can play with and not worry about so yeah leave it to us we'll take care of that for you guys man and hopefully these puppies hold up because yeah you're gonna be making a lot of power we heard there might be some upgrades in the future if needed but yeah there's always room for improvement everywhere right and the cool thing is about these they actually upgraded them with like a combo U-joint so that when we do want to upgrade if we ever had a custom yoke made we'll be able to uh keep this drive shaft and just put a different U-joint in it so they have like an oversized cap uh for the yolk end and then a smaller reducer one to go to the yolks that we currently have so that uh in the future if we ever upgrade we don't have to change the drive shaft out or an end we can just push a bigger U-joint in it so yeah you got the front one right there and then the rear balanced ready to go big old 4080 oh yeah freshly painted so since we've been coming over to Universal Drive stop so much they actually hooked us up with a discount code that you guys can use as well and you guys can get 25 off any drive shaft you want that is boosted boys 25 for the coupon code at universaldriveshafts.com is that the website universaldryshots.com and they ship worldwide so this isn't just a local thing it's not just for the guys here in Florida all over the world yeah you guys can send in your information get a drive shaft made and get it shipped directly out to you guys people in Florida it is free shipping for everyone here outside that we ship everywhere else not a problem yeah hesitate to give him a call either you guys have great customer service so what do you guys need to get 25 off your order yeah man I'm excited to get home and put these in yeah get them in the truck yep see if we can't back her out foreign well both drive shafts are in you know got fluid in the trans yep we're gonna fire it up and see if it moves see what happens here got all the brakes finished and hooked up bled good to go so yeah all it's left to do is see if it'll drive this is getting exciting see if she can move under her own power for the first time that was pretty wild man come a long ways yep give her a shot really yep I remember it has to shut it off okay now remember the shutoff button Let's uh let's push it out it was trying for a second yeah wants to it's probably still low on fluid yeah there you go maybe that that converter maybe just need to fill up it moves the news oh small leak a little ATF leak there just has a small leak on the trans I'm not fitting right there yeah you see it's all dented in oh yeah yeah real bad no bueno so get that guy changed out luckily I have another one because that's a special piece that's holds the center support for a lady yeah it does look very specific so good thing you got more yep you know take that in around get that guy changed out should be good to go was it just taking a second for that converter to fill that's probably why I wasn't moving at first yep just took a minute once all that fluid got in there all right that's so cool dude it's first turnout did it spin at all you did it yeah I did a burnout no turbo baby let's go no boost burnouts dude that's so cool all right so gotta get some nuts and bolts for the rear axle tighten the steering up then you can take it around the yard and then we can go around the yard because right now if you look all the steering components are held on by no nuts and a quarter inch of thread yeah and you're missing some stuff in the back uh you want to open the door that's another thing oh she's cruising foreign is this the first time putting water in this engine since you built it that's how I built it will make sure it's not full of water now drove to the shop under its own power the days of pushing it are over finally yeah this thing's a pig it's not heavy yeah well I guess the John Deere did most of the work yeah but I'll tell y'all right now it is slightly over 4 000 pounds with me in it but that's fully together everything in it fuel the whole deal hey but now those drive shafts are connected she runs yup makes it a lot easier so complete now yeah dude just need some paint I can't believe it too thing looks so sick oh looks so good foreign pretty wild bro dude it's come so far I can't believe it moves it's so sick freaking legit dude yeah just a couple more things gotta get the hood to last get some Hood pins on there yeah I'm definitely just getting rid of those hinges I was trying to put like the Boost pipes and stuff back on it pain with the hood in there so definitely gonna be a liftoff Hood oh yeah yeah I'm gonna just put some like Hood pins and it'll just set on and be done because that's a pain that'll just get a fiberglass front clip for it but you know race truck things in the future yeah very soon probably but hey got it moving yesterday yep and then pulled it up here last night got some water in it and then yeah spent the rest of the day buttoning some things up yeah got all of the glass back in it yeah that was the biggest thing getting the gloss in it turned out great though so it's OEM front glass and then uh lexan side and rear window and I think they turned out really good so came out really good yeah so yeah the back and sides are like saying that you cut out yep and then the front is OEM glass I don't know if we showed them they roll up to you pretty legit yeah she is these clips because they ain't going nowhere she is so close the paint the paint is like gonna be the biggest thing so that and the brakes I need to still work on that I think they'll be a lot better once the Hydro Boost is hooked up because that whole system is designed to have the Hydra boost and it's not working right now so and you gotta get the power steering stuff figured out yeah and that'll all be with the just getting that hooked up so it just needs a serpentine belt but that'll probably help a lot because when I was trying to power break it there that was pretty hard on the brakes so we'll have to see about that but might might have to change some things up I don't know but we'll address that at a later date for right now it does stop so that's all you need power break it it's also on a big slick so yeah who knows but it's pretty legit dude I'm just excited it moves gonna give it a quick bath first bath ever probably gonna regret it because everything's gonna rust it's just gonna take all the pain off yeah for real kind of out of lost words man it's just crazy to see it at this point just never thought I'd see the day dude she's looking so good yeah got all the charge pipes back on man it's really coming almost complete when everything's kind of like put on you know not completely done I was kind of questioning like how I did the charge pipes and stuff but with the hood on it everything on it thoroughly approve of the decision to do them that way it looks sick yeah it came out awesome hell yeah she runs and drives yeah and uh you know polishes herd up be good to go oh yeah smoke in the pipe dude so far man still a lot to do but man that's just a great A lot has been done yeah that's a great Point man you want to tell everyone why the pink pulley looks like that yeah so everybody commenting that the crank toys loose it's not loose I'll show you supposed to be you can see the Giant counterweight on it makes it looks like it's wobbling in the videos calm down I know you're a YouTube mechanic but it's perfectly fine sometimes like your balancer's falling off it's totally okay it's because the Duramax crank has a uh external camera internal counterweight there that has to ride on the balancer yep so that is how it is made it's not falling off people nope it's totally perfectly fine it does look a little funny in there though it does look like it's loose but if you know you know so then if it actually does come loose you might not ever know might just fall off because it always looks loose you'll have that you know it's the one downside when it takes out the the hot side pipe you know that's what it is maybe when it starts looking not loose you know it's loose there you go when it's even down yeah like cockeyed you know you're like oh something's wrong that should look way more wobbly right solid man marker lights dude this is the shot right here just the smoke just hazing out of the pipe there that looks sick like we said before if any of you guys are going to be out at PRI Wyatt will be there with the race truck yep Booth 71-78 or just outside of Green Hall and that is December 8th through the 10th at the Indy Event Center Convention Center one of them if you guys are going you know where it's at we'll see you guys there make sure to come check out the truck and say thank you to the X-ray you guys for me because man they've been helping like crazy getting this thing to where it's at it needs transfer case shifter transmission shifter um nut and bolt everything I still gotta run nitrous lines you know there's still a lot of little stuff but theoretically right now like it could be put on a Dyno and make power so I just want to get everything buttoned up before then make it a little more friendly to the the driver but uh it's pretty close so not quite sure it'll make it by the end of the year but there is a chance so we'll see oh yeah but it's definitely come a long ways yeah really come together this last month man just bust an ass trying to get this thing done and runs and drives couldn't have done it without Kyle's help either so appreciate him giving me time off and of course freaking sick so hopefully very soon we can line this thing up with uh with one of the cars with Kyle's Fleet you know maybe a little hatch on truck crime or something yeah I think when she's running good the hatch over there needs a little piece of that yeah that'd be a fun one race yeah that'd be sweet man so oh yeah guys gonna be getting ready to head off to PRI so he's going to be gone for a few days with the truck be sure to go check it out if you're going to be in the area and I think that's it yeah until next time once you get back then we'll button up all those loose ends and yeah get her to the dyno get her to the track that's the goal start ripping on this thing man I'm looking forward to it well yeah see you guys laterwell guys something else we need to add to the list is hooking up the alternator we uh went ahead and killed the battery back here so luckily we have the type S jump boxes

you supposed to be you can see the Giant counterweight on it makes it looks like it's wobbling in the videos calm down I know you're a YouTube mechanic but it's perfectly fine sometimes like your balancer's falling off it's totally okay it's because the Duramax crank has a uh external camera internal counterweight there that has to ride on the balancer yep so that is how it is made it's not falling off people nope it's totally perfectly fine it does look a little funny in there though it does look like it's loose but if you know you know so then if it actually does come loose you might not ever know might just fall off because it always looks loose you'll have that you know it's the one downside when it takes out the the hot side pipe you know that's what it is maybe when it starts looking not loose you know it's loose there you go when it's even down yeah like cockeyed you know you're like oh something's wrong that should look way more wobbly right solid man marker lights dude this is the shot right here just the smoke just hazing out of the pipe there that looks sick like we said before if any of you guys are going to be out at PRI Wyatt will be there with the race truck yep Booth 71-78 or just outside of Green Hall and that is December 8th through the 10th at the Indy Event Center Convention Center one of them if you guys are going you know where it's at we'll see you guys there make sure to come check out the truck and say thank you to the X-ray you guys for me because man they've been helping like crazy getting this thing to where it's at it needs transfer case shifter transmission shifter um nut and bolt everything I still gotta run nitrous lines you know there's still a lot of little stuff but theoretically right now like it could be put on a Dyno and make power so I just want to get everything buttoned up before then make it a little more friendly to the the driver but uh it's pretty close so not quite sure it'll make it by the end of the year but there is a chance so we'll see oh yeah but it's definitely come a long ways yeah really come together this last month man just bust an ass trying to get this thing done and runs and drives couldn't have done it without Kyle's help either so appreciate him giving me time off and of course freaking sick so hopefully very soon we can line this thing up with uh with one of the cars with Kyle's Fleet you know maybe a little hatch on truck crime or something yeah I think when she's running good the hatch over there needs a little piece of that yeah that'd be a fun one race yeah that'd be sweet man so oh yeah guys gonna be getting ready to head off to PRI so he's going to be gone for a few days with the truck be sure to go check it out if you're going to be in the area and I think that's it yeah until next time once you get back then we'll button up all those loose ends and yeah get her to the dyno get her to the track that's the goal start ripping on this thing man I'm looking forward to it well yeah see you guys later\n"
