Video Description

We tore down this 2007 Chevy Duramax LBZ after it completely failed and came to us for a full remanufactured engine overhaul. Once we tore into it, we found that every single pushrod was bent. From the start, we had a good idea of what the culprit would be because we see so many of them — and sure enough, we were right. This terrible design keeps killing these Duramax's time and time again. Watch as we break down the teardown process, show the damage in detail, and explain why this design flaw keeps killing Duramax engines. If you own one of these trucks, this is something you’ll want to see, and SHOULD take care of. 30% OFF SUMMER SALE!
