I am partial to WIX filters. The 6.5L and Duramax specs are below: 6.5L Height: 5.178" Diameter: 3.66" 6.6L Height: 5.216" Diameter: 3.69" Is there a bennifit in the WIX 6.6L vs the 6.5L, because the Dmax filter is twice as much around...

The only reason I am considering synthetic is because my truck does not burn enough oil to speak of. Over 4,000 miles it barely drops enough to notice on the dip stick.

That is what concerns me. I have next to no blow-by on my K2500 and the oil is filthy after one trip to down and back. This truck is usually just a daily driver but when it tows it tows fairly heavy. Mostly farm equipment, trucks and scrap metal. IIRC the Duramax filter will squeeze in on...

If ya wouldn't mind that'd be good. I might consider Amsoil if it could go that far.

I'll do that next chance I get.

I've been reading up on extended oil change intervals for synthetic oil, most of what I find is for the Duramax. We have 2 Duramax trucks at the shop and they do not seem to dump as much soot into the oil as our 6.5L diesels. I usually run Delvac 1300 and change every 3500-4000 or so.Next...

Rained last night so ABS was acting up right off the bat. I pulled the fuse from under hood block and went on my way. Good news is the ABS isn't kicking in anymore and the SES light didn't come on. Annoying news is the ABS light is on. Just thought I'd follow up incase anyone is reading this a...

Thats what I want to hear... and I won't blame ya if it comes on. I'll come on here and say if it does or not if I can remember, for future reference.

Thanks yall, I think i'll just pull the fuse and see how that does. If the engine light bugs me I might try to just pull the bulb to that too.I like the theory of ABS but it just ain't workin for me. Couldnt even get out of the driveway today without it acting up.

Thanks, do you know if ABS throws codes on these? Problem is this is the first thing I owned that had abs (just recently got a tahoe) and half the time it gets wet outside the ABS will kick in and act crazy for a few miles. I don't know much about ABS but from what I've seen the last several...

Not really a "diesel" question, but is there a relay that can be pulled so that ABS does not work on these trucks?

I changed my glow plugs to Duraterms when I replaced my injectors for about $7.50 each (if I remember right) from rockauto. I don't know if all mine were working or not before I swapped them but I noticed the truck did start faster. For some reason I have it stuck in my head that I had to use a...

X2 on the Diamond Eye 4" straight pipe. So far so good for the price. Had mine on in NC for a few years now I think and no problems/rust. Had to cut and reclamp the downpipe; was the only installation problem, got a RCLB though if that makes a difference.

I got a set of Bosch at Rockauto for $326.32 after a discount code.

I've had Dean Wildcats the last 2 times, made by Cooper I think. Last set was Wildcat All-terrains 285/75/R16 and got close to 60K out of them. Went with Wildcat Touring SLT 265/75/R16's this time.

Yeah, I think the Herzogs are gone soon as I can get another set. I know it aint the heat shield cause that was the first thing I tried, IDK bout the pump though. What throws me off is it only does it at idle, and after the engine is warm. I'll probably change the glow plugs over to some...

Been on here a few months but never posted, anyways... I have a 98 K2500 6.5TD and latley it has started making a pinging sound from the right side around the turbo area. I cain't hear worth a crap so I cain't pinpoint it even with my trusty listening stick over the diesel rattle. I'm...
