How DuramaxNews put a BLOWZER giveaway on the 3.0 Duramax Podcast
On episode 28 of the 3.0 Duramax Podcast, GM technician Greg of DuramaxNews talks long-term LZ0 ownership from his garage set, with a BLOWZER X6 box on the shelf beside him. Midway through, he holds up the X6, pitches it for truck interiors and engine bays, and opens a two-unit giveaway.
A truck podcast run by a working technician
DuramaxNews is home to the 3.0 Duramax Podcast, a talk show for owners of GM's small diesel. The host, Greg, is a GM technician at a local dealership. He also runs the DemonWorks YouTube channel, sells parts on demonworkshop.com and keeps a library of recalls and maintenance notes on duramaxnews.com. His viewers come for straight answers from someone who works on these engines every day.
Episode 28 is built around a viewer's question: a retired veteran wants one last truck and asks whether the 3.0 LZ0 can go the distance. Before Greg gets there, he covers the right fill temperature for the transmission bypass valve, the block differences he found between two LM2 engines (a 2019 and a 2022.5, both sitting on stands right behind his desk) and an oil-analysis update.
A BLOWZER on the shelf the whole time
The set is a garage: two bare Duramax engines, a flag on the back wall, an Orioles bobblehead on the desk for luck. On the shelf at the left edge of the frame, for the entire episode, stands a BLOWZER X6 retail box.
Once the engine talk wraps up, Greg gets to it. "Let's talk about this giveaway that I've discussed multiple times," he says, pointing at the box. He has two X6 units to give away, one for the DemonWorks audience and one for podcast listeners, run through demonworkshop.com from August 27 to September 7 for the lower 48 states, with no purchase needed. He walks through the entry rules so carefully that it is clear the paperwork took longer than he expected.
What he says it is for
Then he picks up the X6 itself and holds it low in front of the microphone. He keeps it simple: a handheld blower that charges over USB-C. "It works pretty good, it blows air as you would expect," he says. The X6 is not switched on in the video; this is a show-and-tell, not a test.
What he does give is the use case, and it is the one his audience cares about. You can charge it up and use it "for cleaning out your interior or cleaning out part of the engine bay." Then the show moves on to an over-the-air update and the veteran's question.
Why it matters if you own a diesel truck
Truck owners already know where dust settles: dash vents, seat rails, the console seams and the gaps around the cowl and engine covers. A shop compressor reaches some of that; a cordless blower that charges over USB-C can ride in the truck and reach the rest. The X6 comes with five interchangeable nozzles for those gaps and three modes, 40K, 80K and 130K RPM, so you can go gentle on the dash and harder on the floor mats.
If you take it under the hood, let the engine cool first, keep eye protection on and blow loose debris out and away from you rather than deeper into the bay.

Questions readers ask
Can you use a cordless air duster on a truck interior and engine bay?
Yes, for dust and loose debris: vents, seat rails and console gaps inside, and dry dust on a cool engine. Wear eye protection and blow debris away from you.
How do you charge the BLOWZER X6?
Over USB-C, with auto-shutoff when it is full, so it can charge from the same cables you already keep in the truck or the shop.
How strong is the BLOWZER X6?
Up to 45 m/s of airflow from a 130,000 RPM motor, with three modes: 40K, 80K and 130K RPM.
