2024 Duramax L5P Engine First Look And Comparison | Banks Exclusive

Gale is a damn national treasure in the diesel industry and packed full of knowledge. Always enjoy his engineering breakdowns.

Gale Banks is full of knowledge and watching these videos is always a highlight.

I could listen to this man talk about engines all day long. His explanation of how things work is second to none!!

Not only does he explain everything, but I absolutely love the CAD images he uses, and diagram animations that are edited into the video to further explain everything. For someone like me, who doesn't have much automotive experience, those images and animations puts it into laymen's terms and just makes this such a pleasurable learning experience. Gale's videos aren't just "here's X information, you can do Y things with this information", his videos show the type of teacher who could talk for hours and hours and still make every bit of it interesting.

Now I understand why Banks, the company is what it is. This guy is a legend!

Gale Banks forgot more than I’ll ever know

5 minutes in and it’s better than the actual GM training materials. Nice!

Gale is getting up in age but his mind is sharp as a tack. You can tell he is passionate about diesel engines and what makes them tick. Great job!

I've never ever watched a video on this channel and not left with new knowledge to contemplate. Thanks for everything you do for us Gale. You're an absolutely gifted teacher

On the fuel rail pressures, all of the comparisons are at peak. I'd be interested in if the pressures were raised over the whole throttle map, if peak is reached sooner, etc...oh crud, I'm a nerd. I love these kinds of break downs, keep them up Gale!

Excellent episode! As far as sound levels go, only the introductory music stings were mixed too high. It is great to have large-print written out title cards for each part of the engine that Gale is describing. I love the detail you all get into. Please, keep it up. Love it.

Holy Smokes !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Gale Banks is 81 years old and SHARP as a razor! Bro, keep up the great work!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I have a Duramax and took to the Banks shop. Boy, what a difference for power and engine performance. He has some positive answers for the Duramax.

I could listen to Gale talk all day long truly a master at his craft.

Ridiculous how much i love listening to this man talk about engines. Although now i feel like my 2018 l5p isnt capable of pulling my 10K camper 3 times a year!..JK, this truck is so much more than i need and i love it

Sounds like the engineers at GM/Duramax have been paying attention to the master of performance, power, torque, and reliability.

Gale I truly wish I had tried harder to get a job out with you all when I got out of school. 15 years working at Cummins R-D but I still enjoy your technical videos.

Love these episodes and breakdowns. Plus going into why the manufacturers do what they do.

This man is the Bob Ross of the diesel world, I can listen to him talk all day long and actually understand what he is saying which is insane for a person like me lol

GM's turbo technology has surprisingly advanced very well in the last 5 years
