Take care of that 6.6 and it will never let you down ✊🏼

[herrprepper]

It’s all about common-sense maintenance. I run three diesels… A 1984 GM K2500HD with 6.2 diesel (bought new, 325, 000 miles on it)… a 2007 Jeep Grand Cherokee with the Mercedes diesel (bought used), and a 2009 GMC 3500 xtended cab with Duramax (bought new, 194, 000 miles). The Jeep is my wife’s vehicle, the two GMC’s are work trucks on our place here in NW Wyoming.

Best maintenance advice I ever got was from the head mechanic where I bought the 1984…”Never put it in gear until she’s warmed up… use the best oil you can afford… and use Power Service in every tank of fuel.” I’ve followed that advice religiously. When I bought the 2009 Duramax, I put 500 easy miles on it, then took it back to the dealer and had every filter and bit of fluids (except coolant, brake and power steering) replaced with fresh… in order to flush out any debris left in the truck at the factory. I then put 5, 000 miles on it, changed everything again. Another 5, 000 miles and repeat… except that third time, I used all AMSOIL full synthetics… differentials… engine… transmission… transfer case… and the AMSOIL 20-micron, 25, 000 oil filter.

I get a lab analysis once a year… change the Allison spin-on transmission filter and the stock GM fuel filter at every oil change. (5, 000 to 10, 000 miles… depending on lab results).

The vehicles are always serviced with AMSOIL synthetic oil. Euro blend for the Jeep and 15w40 Max Duty for both GMC’s.

Your results may vary.

I keep everything bone stock… except for the perceived weak points of the 6.2 that I rectified… Dual oil filter setup, a Banks intake/exhaust and an upgraded NOS GM fuel filter setup made for mid 90’s diesel vans.

This channel has been a huge inspiration for me with getting my first Duramax, Keep up the excellent work!

I found another way to check injectors if you don’t have a scan tool. Turn the truck on and once it’s warmed up, slowly rev the motor up to about 2500-3000 rpm then let off the throttle. If the rpm gauge goes down smoothly then the injectors are good. If the rpm gauge goes down then goes back up a little bit it’s a sign that one or more of the injectors isnt working right and still spraying fuel

[matthewhutchison]

I’m 15 right now and I’m getting my dad’s 2011 gmc duramax and I will definitely be doing most of the things you have showed in this video.

[connorchecketts]

Another tip is if you don’t have a high pressure fuel rail 07 and older basically pre emissions. You can fill up the fuel filter with ATF and it will clean the injectors.( DO NOT USE ON A HIGH PRESSURE FUEL RAIL). But it’s a trick I’ll use as a diesel mechanic.

[jbfairbanks]

Just got an 07 LMM so I am learning a ton from your vid's!!! Thanks for sharing your knowledge w/us!!! Keep 'em coming!!

[maggiesparkle]

Now to find a way to have this video put on repeat on my dash ❤

[devondidion]

These are the best videos. You should keep on doing more like this if you can. Keep it up

PPE +1 oil pan! Best investment I did for my Dmax! Flat bottom vs the hump in the stock oil pan which holds 16oz of dirty oil that will never drain out. As far as tie rods I run Rare Parts inner and outer tie rods as well as the Rare Parts pitman arm, idler arm and the pisk kit to keep the center link from rotating.

Buddy like the vid. Please change your oil pan with the PPE High Capacity, Cast Aluminum Oil Pan #114052000. Add a magnetic drain plug. Does wonders.
Plus remove the factory fuel filter / primer housing all together. You have a lift pump. It's not needed.

I run Stanadyne "Performance Formula" in my LML. The truck has a 35 gallon tank, I add one 8 oz. bottle per fuel-up. I have been happy with this product.

[anthonycolacheyachtbrokere]

I just purchased my first Duramax (2024 GMC 3500HD). I'll be a regular in an effort to learn everything needed to maintain the truck! Thank you.

[antonioreyes]

Great videos!! They sure do help a lot due to me being a first time diesel owner. Bought my 2003 2500 hd 4x4 with 93k miles. So stoked!!!! Keep the videos coming. Great job!!!

[brandonbarrentine]

Great info dude, don't forget to check oil level after running the engine to fill the new oil filter and check if you have directional tires, if they are directional then they don't switch sides during a rotation.

[hatchetwarrior]

I need a video and how to maintain a free election with limited to no cheating

[Gamullikin]

To be honest. I've never been into Duramax diesel trucks until I started watching your videos. Im looking into buying a duramax or powerstroke. Both are nice trucks

[BeyondHighHopes]

I suggest looking into getting a Fumoto F106N FN series drain valve. You got plenty of other fancy stuff and seem to have overlooked this little gem. The valve eliminates the need to carry an oil pan while on the go and practically eliminates the risk of making a mess during a change. It is particularly useful for people like me that are towing trailers full time and find themselves doing oil changes at random places because the road trip never stops. Thanks for the video and glad to see the channel is doing well!

[victoroliveira]

My L5p takes 16 quarts, yep 16, I have the ppe oil pan extra 2 quarts, than I have the Amsoil bmk filter and bypass extra 2 quarts, and I also made a custom exterior oil cooler which holds a additional 2 quarts with hoses, my oil changes cost me a arm and a tie rod, great video my man as usual.
