    oil change interval with 5W40 ROTELLA synthetic?

    I run Rotella 5w-40 in mine and change it at 6-7k and comes out a lot cleaner from lbz (egr blocked and pcv roroute) than my lmm at 3k. Im sure I could go further but I drive a lot of short distances in dusty conditions and pull hard and heavy fairly often.

    04' Yukon 5.3 throwing trans codes every few months..need some input.

    About every 2-3 months I get a check engine light with codes PO 750,755,760,765. Shift solenoids A,B,C,D malfunction. Trans seems fine with no problems. I do have a hypertech uner on it with the shift firmness turned up 75% or so. Anyone have issues like this?? Thanks fellas!

    Just Installed New Banks 3" IC Pipe...WOW.

    I installed the afe IC pipe last night. Almot 100deg drop in egt @ wot. About 50 deg drop cruising. Spool up is more than noticeably faster and you can really feel the torque come on earlier. Truck doesn't want to downshift when I lug it down near as much, the bottom end got a good boost of...

    Freakin air filter fell off!

    I got a sample in a water bottle from the first change. Grit in the bottom. not a lot but a little. I plan on running the dino oil for a week or so then changing it again, taking another sample. So what should I do if the tests come back that my oil is bad and the engine has a lot of wear?

    I changed the oil filter tonight. I poured the oil from the filter through my fingers and it may be a tiny bit gritty. I hope its ok to drive for a few days. Engine sounds good, nothing unusual going on I dont think. I hope it didn't hurt anything. I really want to get an oa done too. Can...

    Freakin air filter fell off!

    This is the second time I have had my volant intake air filter fall off.:confused: Intake tube had quite a bit of dirt in it. Took the mouth piece off the turbo and found about a fingernail thickness of dirt and oil at the bottom. Took it all apart and cleaned everything. Turbo seems fine...

    ? for the Dmax tuning experts...

    I'm getting about 13mpg with the new updates. I let it warm up for awhile and have been driving under 45mph alot so 13 is pretty good. Hwy I bet its getting 15 or so. Not much difference with the updates.

    Thanks Stacks, that explains alot and makes sense. I think I will tow with this setup. I have been considering buying a PPE boost controller to keep egts in check. I don't think I will have too now. It is more responsive and Egts are the lowest I have ran with this setup. MPG are the same as...
