ITS CALLED JACKE THE TRUCK UP? JUST SAYIN

Thanks for the continued support Tom, always appreciated! In my opinion, the thermo bypass plug in the end eliminates a possible mechanical issue on those trucks. However, what you sacrifice is a couple things…1- it will take longer for your trans to get up to operating temps. For me, I tow/haul everyday and often leave trailers attached overnight so first thing in the morning, I like giving it the best chance to reach those temps quicker. 2- Werli makes great stuff, but I think these plugs are really meant more for trucks with big tunes/turbos/injectors making big hp. For the daily use like ours doing what they were made for, I think it’s okay to leave it alone. However, overall if you think your Allison 6spd is hitting temps that make you uncomfortable, install one! To me, if it gives you piece of mind then it’s worth every penny. But since I’m under warranty and have seen 0 issues of any kind in over 20k miles so far this year hauling everything from boats to roll offs to our 5th wheel, I’m gonna stick with stock. To be honest idk if my new 10spd (10L1000) has the same type of system as the older generation 6 spd on your 2019. Long ass answer, but I hope this helps! Thanks again and remember, we have 300+ days of sunshine here in CO, it gets bellow 20 maybe a few times a year and rarely holds that more than a few days at a time.

@@aslife3813 Thanks Matt for the quick response! I believe that eventually the thermostat will fail on this transmission cooler. Will I see it in time? The banks idash lets me monitor it, true, but I figure a $60 well machined plug that removes the possibility of failure is money well spent? I do not currently have much knowledge or understanding of how transmissions work regarding the coolers and operating temperatures but I am working to rectify that. If all I lose is a little bit of time for the system to reach proper operating temperature than I would be satisfied with that. Out of my 40, 300 miles I would estimate that 39k + have been pulling dump trailers and 14 ft roll off trailers. I have read that in cooler weather holding the brake while in drive and increasing throttle to 1200 rpm increases transmission temperatures quickly? Also, I have the stock thermostat and it would take about 10 minutes to reinstall it if I needed to for the winter, I suppose. I just don't want to have to do it, to be honest. Another "no brainer" mod right away might be to replace the stock back up light in the tail light housing with an led bulb. Less than five minutes for both and lights up the whole neighborhood. Really nice when having to back up at night. Not sure if the 22 custom's are led already. The LED headlight bulbs were more of a hassle but still a great, cheap upgrade. The led fog light upgrade is also nice and I did it but I don't think I ever actually used the stock ones. There is a you tube channel by C Farmer for anyone interested in learning about maintenance stuff on the 16 or 17-19 silverados. He does RV transport and is over 400k miles and does a really great job of teaching how to do so many maintenance things as well as his experience on what to expect from the duramax over those miles. Thanks again and God bless!

Right?! It’s a nice chunk of aluminum, but it saves you from servicing that sensor a lot

Yes sir, thank you Cody! Sharing info is why I started doing this in the first place. Hope you like your new truck!

So frustrating! Thanks for watching!

Made it through the video 1/4 of the way, um can't stand it anymore. Sorry

It’s been sitting in the corner of my garage on time out since then! Thanks for watching, probably would’ve helped to clean the floor first…..

Thanks Jim! I knew this going in but once I got under there and tried to hurry, forgot all about it. Thanks for watching!

Love the maxx but want an x maxx at some point. Sold my revo, broke too much.

Funny you say that, I’m going to buy my buddy’s old one off his 2020 gmc L5P today. Waiting on the banks ram air for sure especially living in the 🏔. Thanks for watching!

derringer and the pedal monster both a must have

100% agree with the banks products. My 2019 2500 L5P is a beast since adding the Derringer, pedal monster, exhaust and true Banks cold air intake. Now dyno’s at over 500hp and 1k ft lbs of torque. And no I’m not in anyway affiliated with Banks just great products that don’t void your warranty

@@duanefletcher6258 i have all that and the new turbo tubes are on the way now!!

It might help, but larger tires might overpower it anyway. I have 37’s and am going to downsize to 35’s

No regen or tranny issues?

Banks has a video explaining everything that’s wrong with the Pulsar tuner lol I would watch it before you blow up your truck

@Diesel Mex banks says that to get you to buy the derrienger...I have the pulsar in my 22 at4 35000...works great, just don't leave it on race tune around town, that will cause re-gen faults. I leave it on #3 and laugh at ford's and rams...no issue, and yes my warranty is just fine. Banks is overpriced junk, their intakes are junk as well, s&b or wc is best for these trucks.

@@youtubecantsaveallthesnowf8601 what about HSP tuner?

Nothing but constant regens with the pulsar. Ran mine on stock the whole time I had it. There is a reason you cannot buy it without the cts3 anymore because you have to constantly clear codes. Not to mention pumping more carbon into the engine through the egr when you crank the HP up.

Had roughly 8-10k I think at the time. Have 48k now. Haven’t had any issues at dealership with warranty. Doughy they even notice it honestly. They mostly care about tuning imo

No regen issues since install. How does it prevent proper temp readings? Nope, no memo from S&B or GM…. Must not be on the mailing list

The mag chloride here in CO sucks, but I try and wash it frequently and keep the chassis clean

@@aslife3813 its rough. I go from IL to AR and back for work. AR doesn't use salt but IL does. It blows that I got surface rust on a lot under the truck even with autowashes weekly. Sad that GM didn't spend time on proper rust proofing.

Well I just did this install on my 2020. Thanks for your walk through. For everyone, make sure you rotate the new sensor into the S&B mount. Watching their video as well, it just seems a easy insert but you have to twist it as you put it in, you don't have to man handle it for it to insert. I wanted to bring out the grips but took a deep breath and rewatched the videos. Once you twist as you insert, it went in just great.

Depends on how you look at it. If it extends mileage between cleanings and can maybe save you a cel on a road trip, to me that’s worth it. But to each his own! Thanks for watching 🇺🇸

Even my GM service writer said it was a good upgrade, and indicated that if he could recommend it to customers, he would

My experience with my 2017 has been that the MAP is critical to the regen completing properly.. So the dirtier my MAP got the worse the mileage and more frequent the regens were.. my DPF would not go lower than 20% restriction after a regen.. only a static regen with a tool would get it to 0%. YMMV.. but that has been my observation.

Good to know! Thanks for watching

The steering stabilizer yes. MAP spacer no, that’s for the duramax only

I’m sure they do, although the map spacer may be different now. Have to check S and B

That’s always a loaded question, but I would say no. You’re not changing anything in ecm, you’re not modifying anything or taking away stock parts for aftermarket. These simple bolt-ons should not void any warranty IN MY OPINION

I assume it’s a Duramax? If so, you should be able to hold at least 60 thru Vail. If you’re having issues with power at high altitude, limit as much weight as you can, make sure your intake is clean and limit gear hunting as much as possible by using your trans gear limiter on the shift column. Other than that, add a larger turbo/injectors and tune that shit

@@aslife3813 can't do any of the mods yet as I have 1k miles on it and have an 8 year/100k warranty on it. Hard to limit weight in that 42 foot fifth wheel, it is what it is, ya know. I wanted an F350, but they told me a 10 month wait.

@@richfarfugnuven6308 the only way a F350 can do 45mph is if a duramax is pulling it! LOL

Man I’m sorry to hear that. No wonder the dealer tells you “only outside and if it’s under 0 degrees”

There’s a recall for that

@@ZS350 yes thier is a recall for 2017-2019 but they haven’t put the 2020 in yet for recall but from what I have read they do no have a fix for it so please don’t plug ur block heaters in I don’t want this to happen to anyone it almost took out my hole house I was luck to punch it out of the garage the garage is not heated or insulated and it was -5 out that night

Don’t we all! EPA has some pretty steep fines for that if caught and it makes resale tough. I would def wait at least until your warranty is up

Right!

Haha
