OLM's are a joke most of the time, they base their recommendation on idle time, heat cycles, miles and calendar time. Most will tell you to change the oil after 12months no matter how little you drove. I still go by miles, just wish the OLM could be turned off.

Brake pads on a 2021 Chevy Express 4500 with 110,000 miles.

Overpriced GM brake pads because there are no aftermarket ones available, and a belt tensioner for a 6.7 Cummins, small parts purchase today. Okay, I'll stop now. lol

You guy's don't buy enough parts. :ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO:

If it were me, I'd leave the oil filter and change out the engine oil.

6 sets of plug wires from MassiveSpeedSystems 6 aluminum 12v USB chargers with voltmeter 2 set's of ceramic brake pads for a '19 Ford F-59 2 set's or ceramic brake pads for a '20 Ford F-59 2 usb to lightning cables, coiled 6 usb to lightning cables, 90* ends (not pictured)

She's back and running like nothing even happened. This is the last I'm saying about this one, looks like the cam on another is going south.

Water pump's have changed over the years with sealed bearings, I was not aware of that. Yes Ford is covering the cams that are under warranty. Again, I am not asking for unlimited warranty on the cam's, I realize you are having a hard time comprehending this.

I have no clue, but I also do not have a choice. There are no aftermarket roller cam's out there that I could find. Plenty of flat tappet cams, no roller ones.

I'm not heated, I'm having fun now.

The cars do not run continuously for 24hrs every single day. They get shut down for maintenance. Tires. Brakes. Court. Let's see if your'e really done trolling here, I don't think you are.

You are not putting 40,000 hour's on a gasoline engine. Heavy equipment doesn't even get that. Even if a unit was running for 20 hours a day 7 days a week, that's 7300 hours a year. Divide 40,000 by 7300 and you get 5.47 years. All of the police officers I'm friends with tell me the patrol cars...

You have replacement planned at 150k, I have replacement planned at 20yrs regardless of miles. If I was replacing units early like governments wasting money, I'd do the bare minimum too, after all it's not your money. My "experimenting" is working out just fine, stupendously in fact. Zero oil...

When a water pump fails outside of warranty it is because the coolant was not changed, the lubricant inside the coolant wore out and the water pump bearings ran dry and the water pump failed. This cam issue is know by Ford, it is such a issue that Ford has told dealers not to sell their...

In fleets it is essential to do SOS (service oil samples), that is the only true way of knowing if your service intervals are harming the fleet and shortening service life, if you're wasting money by changing oil to soon, or if you need to use a different motor oil all together. I have a fleet...
