[FactoryMX]

[Duramaxx04]

thats about when i change mine

 

[GmcLbz]

I change mine every 6K. For $7-$8 it can't hurt.

 

[Volumejunkie]

I do every other oil change just to keep it simple.

 

[FactoryMX]

how often do you do your oil? and do i need to add oil in the tranny when i change the filter?

You really shouldn't have to add any fluid but its a good idea to check after filter change. They say the factory fluid is good for about 25k.

 

[FireMedicJO]

With every fuel filter b/n 5-7K

 

[FactoryMX]

sounds good ill try to do it every 7k

Tranny spin on 5k, internal 25k

 

[RedneckBuckeye]

Internal should be not have to be replaced unless the trans is being rebuilt, that what I have been told by several. and I change the spin on at 10K

X2, the internal filter only needs to be replaced when there are internal repairs made to the transmission. I'd say 15k on the spin on, fluid at 30k

Tranny spin on 5k, internal 25k

That's what the guy who built my transmission recommended...If you drive 'em hard, change the filters more frequent...

The manual says 25k for hard driving & 50k for normal. You going to jeapordize a $2-5k tranny over a $10 & 25 part. Not me.

It will be funny when the reason your trans needs a rebuild is because you didn't change that internal filter. Change your filters people!

 

[FactoryMX]

you mean 42k is too long?

I change all of my filters( OIL,FUEL,SPIN-ON TRANNY) when I change my oil. Its overkill I'm sure but I sleep better

I bought the truck at 140k and had the injectors replaced since. I have the predator on 85, not sure what the exact power I'm running is. I bought the truck private party, it was blowing white smoke and was throwing tranny codes. Got the injectors replaced under warranty which took care of the white smoke and crawled under the truck and plugged a dangling wire back into the tranny and now it runs perfect. Wasn't a bad deal for $6,000 I took a gamble and it finally paid off:eyebrows:
