    Just a note on the TCM - my brother-in-law has an '07 Duramax that started having the intermittent shift issues. It looked, smelled, and quacked like a failing TCM, so he replaced the TCM. It fixed it for all of one day, then the problem came back. A few days later his son noticed that something looked queer with one of the speed sensors on the transmission. Replacing that speed sensor fixed the shifting problem. Don't forget that with most electronic control systems, you need to check both the sensors and the actuators, as well as the controller and the wiring between everything.

Such as getting a spare TCM, and replacing the idler pulleys etc. Great video. Seems like the LBZ dodged a lot of the problems mentioned here, although we are not immortal 100%. But its encouraging no less.

    Awesome video. I recently went from a 2005 LLY to a 16 LML with only 41K. The truck needed a EGT sensor which the dealer replaced and the shop did a forced regen. I have driven the truck about 1,000 miles and it has not gone into regen again yet. Most of the miles have been on the interstate. How often should you see the truck regen? Doing Air Dog soon and getting a CTS 3. Never really worried about the LLY that much but all the emissions stuff on this truck worries the heck out of. Thanks for the great info!

I will watch this video several times in the coming weeks to take it all in, and I will definitely keep these guys in mind to call when my truck needs work. Thank you for posting this video! Ha, and here I thought you would just talk about DEF, which I already understood. I envy you truck guys who really know your stuff!!
    With my super sensitive nose I can smell something sweet in my engine near the driver's side near the tire well but coming from the engine. So now I've learned that I need to check if the coolant is leaking a bit. I'm hoping it's a minuscule leak or just normal burn off for the first 1,000 miles it is being driven? I'd been foolishly hoping it might be a brake pad that was new and burning off residue, but coolant seems to hit 100% on a google search. I'll be towing my family & our 9k lbs. travel trailer next week over 8-10 high western US mountain passes, and in our 100 degrees summer heat am hoping everything is ok with my new truck. On the dash I can scroll through all my current engine stats and nothing stands out at all, including all engine temps & brakes. Still, I'll try to get some time to check my coolant level manually just to keep an eye on if it starts going down at all. This truck hasn't been driven 1,000 miles yet.
    My truck is a brand new 2022 GMC 3500 Sierra Duramax, it is a 4WD AT4 single rear axle, here are my engine"s specs (taken from GMC's site):
    6.6L Duramax Turbo-Diesel V8 engine
    445 hp [332 kW] @ 2800 rpm
    910 b-ft. of torque [1220 Nm] @ 1600 rpm
    3.42 rear axle ratio
    AllisonÂź 10-speed automatic transmission
    Can anyone tell me which of the things in your video would apply for my vehicle? I hear you speaking about a "5" or "L5" and other engine models or something, but have no idea where mine fits into that so I can get my feet under me and follow along here.
    Thanks in advance for any & all advice, thoughts & direction given - I welcome them all!! It helps me to learn and keep my family safe :)

    I have got to add a commentary if Ryan isn’t a chip off the block I don’t know what. You can tell this young man has spent some time in his dad’s shadow and has definitely learned a thing or three. It’s great to see a young man who has some of his old mans style. Me and my brothers used to break balls by saying “Oh, you’re just like dad!” We smile at each other now and say thank you because we had a great dad. I know they drive us crazy when we’re teenagers I mean who’s dad didn’t come off with a “don’t make me put a foot in your ass or I’m looking for a place to park my foot and your ass is looking pretty good!” but they are doing everything because they love us. So I tip my hat to your father.

    I'm not a mechanic but speaking from experience on my Duramax and had this issue time and time again. FIRST place I would check is this..check the fuel filter/head assembly. For some reason mine seems to collect contaminants and foul up the filter/head assembly. Remove the fuel filter. If that is the issue you will certainly see all the buildup on it and know it needs cleaning.

    I work at an indy shop, we don't see too many newer duramaxs but when we do it's nearly always dpf related.. we have a few farmers that let them idle a lot and are not on the highway much like you guys were taking about, these trucks don't like it. I've done a few def tank heaters, couple def injectors, and some egt/nox sensors as well. One of our customers has a 2015 and it's in the shop about every 6 to 9 months because it just won't regen.

    Dang well luckily on my lml I switched out my cp4 with a exergy cp3 . Also the dpf and the rest of my emissions fell off one day while I was driving but I just kept driving and left it behind. It’s weird though my truck has ran extremely well ever since

    I got an alarm on DEF. My shop replaced a sensor upstream of the regen box because it was wasting diesel. It would not reset the panel. Turns out the outlet sensor was slow to react and had to be replaced to allow the panel to reset. Took my shop almost 2 weeks to hunt this issue down.

    I have a 2013 LML. It has a mini max and deleted with 4 inch exhaust. When I first bought it it would run like a scalded dog in performance mode (like spin the tires at 60mph when punched kind of fast) I have since added an air dog 65gph lift pump, egt and tranny temp gauge and exergy fuel system saver and have now noticed it doesn’t “seem” or sound as fast, it still runs fine as a daily driver though and for towing but won’t spin the tires at all (I did put new tires on though so that may be part of it) . It Also it used to make a loud hiss as it cycled the turbo during start up that now doesn’t do it as loud at all. I am leaning towards either time for a new air filter (or has the AFE power air filter) or maybe some metal shavings got into the turbo when I drilled the exhaust for the egt probe...or it’s the fuel saver (I’ve heard others say they removed them because it robbed power). Anyway, what are your thoughts on this? Thank you in advance.

    I would definitely like an LMM specific video on Fuel Pressure issues and Limp Mode. I have almost a million Kilometers on my 2007.5 stock and only started having problems recently. Got rid of the old exhaust and put just pipe and muffler on. Runs much better now but still goes into Limp Mode a lot due to Low Fuel Rail Pressure.

    • @chip7522
      @chip7522 Pƙed 9 měsĂ­ci

      Put a lift pump on it like FASS or AirDog. It’s leaking air into the head unit of the factory fuel filter primer pump. The gaskets get old and leak air and drop fuel rail pressure and put it into limp mode. Replace those gaskets also.

    I've got a low mileage 67k 2015 LML Duramax. Have went into reduced power mode twice towing heavy with no warning. First time was a bad DEF temp sensor at 45k and second time was 9th injector failure at 65k. I was able to clear the code a couple times each and drive to my destination. However both times were freeways speeds on grades with traffic. The pucker factor is huge when you hear a ding, get a reduce power message and go from 70 mph to 20 mph right now.

    My son and I each have ‘03 LB7s in mid-200K’s. I did fuel injectors and lift pumps on both (tough work, but I’m not a mechanic and I got it done) and they’re both strong trucks. Yes, old diesels need maintenance, but few gas trucks will last this long at all, and the LB7s get great fuel economy compared to gas. If you don’t want to but a new truck every 10-15 years, diesel is king.
