welcome to Banks unboxing where every
00:00:02.360 00:00:02.370 day is Christmas today the UPS driver
00:00:06.019 00:00:06.029 just dropped off a 2020 Duramax oil
00:00:10.549 00:00:10.559 cooler hey it's Gail banks I've told the
00:00:21.769 00:00:21.779 UPS man he's got to start wearing a
00:00:24.109 00:00:24.119 Santa suit because this feels like
00:00:26.720 00:00:26.730 Christmas I really enjoyed this let's
00:00:29.660 00:00:29.670 have a look at what we've got here
00:00:31.700 00:00:31.710 this is one of those boxes it's glued
00:00:33.920 00:00:33.930 shut so I'm gonna try cutting it open on
00:00:37.100 00:00:37.110 the opposite side so I don't have to rip
00:00:39.889 00:00:39.899 through all the glue I may regret this I
00:00:44.740 00:00:44.750 think we need a new alright we're
00:00:51.439 00:00:51.449 getting a new we're getting a new knife
00:00:53.630 00:00:53.640 guys oh Lord
00:00:56.750 00:00:56.760 oh okay we should be able to get into
00:01:02.299 00:01:02.309 this baby here it comes this is what I
00:01:05.060 00:01:05.070 was hoping for
00:01:06.140 00:01:06.150 alright well inside the big box and we
00:01:15.620 00:01:15.630 have a little box you never know the
00:01:20.630 00:01:20.640 wisdom of all this gets it kind of
00:01:22.609 00:01:22.619 escapes me but
00:01:28.940 00:01:28.950 i I call that shipping air I fee takes
00:01:37.670 00:01:37.680 up a lot of space in the truck you kind
00:01:40.280 00:01:40.290 of wonder why they didn't just ship this
00:01:44.350 00:01:44.360 come on baby I promise you guys next
00:01:47.930 00:01:47.940 time
00:01:48.440 00:01:48.450 that knife will have a new blade all
00:01:51.920 00:01:51.930 right what have we got here okay this
00:01:59.779 00:01:59.789 does not come with instructions you're
00:02:01.940 00:02:01.950 supposed to know what to do with this
00:02:03.940 00:02:03.950 and all right there's the baby we're
00:02:07.809 00:02:07.819 looking for so what have they done new
00:02:11.690 00:02:11.700 for 2020 on the dramatic oil cooler
00:02:14.000 00:02:14.010 that's that's the question here and well
00:02:24.979 00:02:24.989 I can tell you one thing right off the
00:02:26.390 00:02:26.400 bat the filter mount Wow the filter
00:02:31.309 00:02:31.319 mount is small the whole idea here is
00:02:35.330 00:02:35.340 will this thing fit the earlier model
00:02:38.360 00:02:38.370 trucks and we did a little research and
00:02:41.860 00:02:41.870 the old 1 through 10 that BLB 7 lly lbz
00:02:49.550 00:02:49.560 and lmm all use the same cooler oil
00:02:54.319 00:02:54.329 filter assembly then you move into and
00:02:58.630 00:02:58.640 we've got that example this is the early
00:03:03.500 00:03:03.510 l5p and this is the 2020 l5p so for 2020
00:03:10.900 00:03:10.910 they've operated the maximum towing
00:03:13.640 00:03:13.650 capacity with the l5p engine something
00:03:17.090 00:03:17.100 fierce so part of that is more radiator
00:03:22.970 00:03:22.980 capacity I'm sure more fan I think the
00:03:26.660 00:03:26.670 nose of the truck has more square inches
00:03:29.330 00:03:29.340 of Inlet area for cooling air if you're
00:03:31.789 00:03:31.799 going to run at rated power or close to
00:03:34.490 00:03:34.500 rated power with a heavy load and just
00:03:36.830 00:03:36.840 hold it there you're going to make some
00:03:39.740 00:03:39.750 temperature you got to have adequate
00:03:42.290 00:03:42.300 water pump fan radiator and adequate oil
00:03:47.780 00:03:47.790 pump which they already have adequate
00:03:50.690 00:03:50.700 oil cooler because oil is going to take
00:03:53.720 00:03:53.730 a lot more heat rejection under
00:03:55.580 00:03:55.590 sustained power for 2020 the horsepower
00:03:58.880 00:03:58.890 remained the same and the torque peak
00:04:01.670 00:04:01.680 went up five pound-feet so it wasn't a
00:04:03.980 00:04:03.990 huge increase in power but there is a
00:04:08.150 00:04:08.160 huge increase I believe and cooling the
00:04:11.300 00:04:11.310 oil and I'm I'm really interested in
00:04:15.009 00:04:15.019 retrofitting this pup to the earlier
00:04:17.990 00:04:18.000 trucks so whoo looks like they went to a
00:04:23.870 00:04:23.880 larger diameter bolt that's happy all
00:04:33.350 00:04:33.360 right let's have a look at what we've
00:04:35.720 00:04:35.730 got inside this pup right oh mercy okay
00:05:06.460 00:05:06.470 what I'm looking for what I want to
00:05:08.840 00:05:08.850 evaluate is two things
00:05:13.420 00:05:13.430 oil temperature reduction through the
00:05:16.370 00:05:16.380 cooler but also oil pressure reduction
00:05:20.810 00:05:20.820 through the cooler so how do these
00:05:23.540 00:05:23.550 things compare you would think that the
00:05:27.320 00:05:27.330 bigger cooler would have less pressure
00:05:32.450 00:05:32.460 drop but I'm noticing already that the
00:05:35.990 00:05:36.000 plates on the 2020 appear to be a bit
00:05:39.740 00:05:39.750 thinner but it looks like there's a lot
00:05:42.110 00:05:42.120 more of them so the design change from
00:05:47.930 00:05:47.940 19 to 20 is pretty obvious it looks like
00:05:55.000 00:05:55.010 the same style of plate is used starting
00:05:59.540 00:05:59.550 all the way back in o1 on the Elbe
00:06:01.640 00:06:01.650 sevens
00:06:02.240 00:06:02.250 and this early cooler has 11 plates the
00:06:08.150 00:06:08.160 oil goes into this stack of plates
00:06:11.260 00:06:11.270 through the plates and out and water
00:06:15.590 00:06:15.600 flows through the housing from the
00:06:19.010 00:06:19.020 entrance hole to the exit and through an
00:06:22.340 00:06:22.350 elbow and up into the torque converter
00:06:25.430 00:06:25.440 housing and then across the block in the
00:06:29.720 00:06:29.730 back it enters right after the elbow it
00:06:32.810 00:06:32.820 in or you know it enters on the left
00:06:34.880 00:06:34.890 side and then it goes through a duct in
00:06:38.210 00:06:38.220 the torque converter housing and enters
00:06:40.760 00:06:40.770 on the right cylinder Bank in LML I
00:06:45.850 00:06:45.860 don't have one so we're going to go
00:06:49.250 00:06:49.260 right to 20 17 through 19 l5p
00:06:53.980 00:06:53.990 same style and thicknesses might even be
00:06:58.130 00:06:58.140 the same manufacturer of the cooling
00:07:01.610 00:07:01.620 stack and this one I counted earlier and
00:07:05.660 00:07:05.670 there's 14 of them 14 plates okay here's
00:07:10.610 00:07:10.620 the 2020 l5p
00:07:13.810 00:07:13.820 let's have a little count here I've
00:07:17.840 00:07:17.850 counted the first plate as a cooling
00:07:20.900 00:07:20.910 plate so I'll do the same thing here 1 2
00:07:24.920 00:07:24.930 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18
00:07:35.270 00:07:35.280 19 so we've got 19 oil cooling plates on
00:07:42.350 00:07:42.360 the 20 20 we have 14 plates on the 17
00:07:51.430 00:07:51.440 2001 the oh 1 through 10 I'm looking at
00:07:56.360 00:07:56.370 this and I'm seeing a big improvement
00:07:58.100 00:07:58.110 guys the way the water leaves the
00:08:03.020 00:08:03.030 housing to looks to be improved this
00:08:05.960 00:08:05.970 thing is a monster by comparison
00:08:07.959 00:08:07.969 the first thing we're going to have to
00:08:10.070 00:08:10.080 confirm is that this thing fits in all
00:08:13.459 00:08:13.469 the previous trucks without hitting
00:08:15.320 00:08:15.330 anything else but it is readily apparent
00:08:20.149 00:08:20.159 that the inlet looks to be identical
00:08:24.709 00:08:24.719 just comparing the housing inlets and
00:08:27.640 00:08:27.650 the location of the bolt holes yep yeah
00:08:34.009 00:08:34.019 these look like they are identical where
00:08:37.250 00:08:37.260 the water enters and I know this is hard
00:08:39.409 00:08:39.419 to see I'll try to place it so you can
00:08:42.110 00:08:42.120 see it well maybe there if you look in
00:08:45.110 00:08:45.120 here as the water flows this looks
00:08:50.090 00:08:50.100 promising
00:08:50.840 00:08:50.850 but the actual opening into the earlier
00:08:53.329 00:08:53.339 housing is much smaller so then it got
00:09:00.860 00:09:00.870 better if you look at this one there is
00:09:05.120 00:09:05.130 your opening but the entrance into the
00:09:07.460 00:09:07.470 housing is much larger anyway you look
00:09:11.900 00:09:11.910 at this it's much larger so better water
00:09:16.370 00:09:16.380 flow into the housing but the exit out
00:09:20.600 00:09:20.610 of the housing it's still close to the
00:09:24.800 00:09:24.810 block so you what you've got is you've
00:09:26.540 00:09:26.550 got plates up here above this point that
00:09:31.360 00:09:31.370 don't really have good water flow
00:09:33.650 00:09:33.660 through them that doesn't look too good
00:09:36.110 00:09:36.120 to me on the 2020 they've moved the
00:09:41.210 00:09:41.220 outlet up so the water has to flow from
00:09:46.310 00:09:46.320 the entrance point through the assembly
00:09:49.400 00:09:49.410 like this and it looks to me like
00:09:52.100 00:09:52.110 they've probably configured the there we
00:09:56.990 00:09:57.000 go the plates in such a manner as to
00:10:01.430 00:10:01.440 take advantage of that and yeah they
00:10:03.470 00:10:03.480 have all right boy this the 2020 oil
00:10:07.819 00:10:07.829 cooler is looking awfully good nice open
00:10:11.710 00:10:11.720 large Inlet as was on the earlier ones
00:10:14.889 00:10:14.899 by that I mean the 17 through 19
00:10:18.009 00:10:18.019 but the outlet is way improved
00:10:21.560 00:10:21.570 so to use this on an earlier block we're
00:10:25.249 00:10:25.259 going to have to have that 20/20 elbow
00:10:29.420 00:10:29.430 and seal assembly as well it's going to
00:10:33.110 00:10:33.120 be interesting now filter wise all the
00:10:36.590 00:10:36.600 early ones all the way from oh one to
00:10:39.530 00:10:39.540 nineteen use this filter which is a 22 a
00:10:44.930 00:10:44.940 PF 22 32 AC Delco and this is the filter
00:10:50.059 00:10:50.069 for the 2020 it's smaller so I'm I'm a
00:10:54.620 00:10:54.630 little troubled about this I don't know
00:10:57.620 00:10:57.630 quite what's going on here and I'm gonna
00:11:02.180 00:11:02.190 look at some other internal things on in
00:11:05.360 00:11:05.370 all three of these where they have check
00:11:08.329 00:11:08.339 valves and where they don't have check
00:11:10.460 00:11:10.470 valves the whole idea of the check
00:11:13.819 00:11:13.829 valves is this if the if the cooler gets
00:11:17.870 00:11:17.880 plugged and somehow restrictive and the
00:11:21.829 00:11:21.839 pressure drop through the cooler goes a
00:11:23.930 00:11:23.940 little too high the check valve opens
00:11:27.079 00:11:27.089 and bypasses the cooler somewhat same
00:11:30.350 00:11:30.360 with the filters on the earlier all the
00:11:32.509 00:11:32.519 earlier ones up through nineteen they
00:11:37.309 00:11:37.319 use a bypass filter so there's an
00:11:41.090 00:11:41.100 internal bypass or check in the bypass
00:11:44.420 00:11:44.430 check valve in the built into the filter
00:11:46.730 00:11:46.740 and then they also have one built end to
00:11:52.309 00:11:52.319 the oil cooler so there's two check
00:11:54.620 00:11:54.630 valves in parallel why would you do that
00:11:57.970 00:11:57.980 well they were worried that somebody
00:12:01.069 00:12:01.079 might put on the incorrect oil filter
00:12:06.129 00:12:06.139 one with no check valve then you'd have
00:12:09.620 00:12:09.630 no bypass if the filter got plugged up
00:12:12.230 00:12:12.240 it would choke off the flow to the
00:12:14.600 00:12:14.610 bearings so they covered their tails on
00:12:20.199 00:12:20.209 the 2020 there is no check valve
00:12:25.670 00:12:25.680 secondary check valve I can see that
00:12:28.490 00:12:28.500 right here and they've changed the
00:12:33.840 00:12:33.850 the Mount and I don't I don't know if
00:12:37.440 00:12:37.450 there's a non check valve filter made
00:12:40.410 00:12:40.420 that would fit this configuration but I
00:12:45.380 00:12:45.390 think they're thinking a little more
00:12:48.240 00:12:48.250 modern like the guy who's changing his
00:12:50.850 00:12:50.860 oil filter should know better I don't
00:12:54.840 00:12:54.850 know but all I'm telling you is make
00:12:58.830 00:12:58.840 sure you're using the proper oil filter
00:13:00.660 00:13:00.670 on one of these I may want to look at
00:13:04.590 00:13:04.600 how in the heck I get more more oil
00:13:07.740 00:13:07.750 filter on this 20/20 assembly that
00:13:10.800 00:13:10.810 remains to be seen
00:13:12.120 00:13:12.130 bottom line is I want minimum pressure
00:13:15.240 00:13:15.250 drop through the oil filter and minimum
00:13:17.550 00:13:17.560 pressure drop through the cooler and I
00:13:19.650 00:13:19.660 want maximum cooling of the oil now if
00:13:23.940 00:13:23.950 you want to know how this all comes out
00:13:26.270 00:13:26.280 follow along on our killing a Duramax
00:13:29.310 00:13:29.320 series and we'll see how this 20 20
00:13:32.700 00:13:32.710 stacks up against the 17 to 19 I'm
00:13:37.620 00:13:37.630 loving these unboxing videos if you want
00:13:40.260 00:13:40.270 to see more of these or are killing a
00:13:42.690 00:13:42.700 Duramax series all you have to do is
