Trans has had a speed sensor and output shaft seal replaced, engine has had a water pump. Other repairs....lotsa brakes and 2 pitman arms. I have a current trans oil sample report if anyone wants to see it.Nice report, any major repairs on the truck? how about engine and trans.?
In some German "expert" forums, many would consider this analysis to be a fake. They already get stomach pain at a 5000-kilometre interval. Looks really good.
Would like to see the trans sample for sure.Trans has had a speed sensor and output shaft seal replaced, engine has had a water pump. Other repairs....lotsa brakes and 2 pitman arms. I have a current trans oil sample report if anyone wants to see it.
It gets changed every 20,000 miles. Testing showed under perfect conditions that 30,000 was possible, but I backed it down to 20k for safety and ease of it lining up with other service intervals.Since this example is a good one, the oil can also remain in the engine longer. This is seen far too strictly by some completely unfounded, and this is especially noticeable here in Germany, I say: nonsense comedy club. That's exactly why I'm here, the quality is a few steps higher than what we have in the German-speaking world. But this analysis here is really very interesting, looks really good. Has the oil been changed?
Will de identify it and post it in the transmission section tonight.Would like to see the trans sample for sure.
Fleetguard LF16102. Cellulose, stock size. No bypass filter.What filter did you use on this run? Do you have a bypass filter? These are some excellent wear numbers.
There are several guys on the Duramax Forum who think it's fake too.In some German "expert" forums, many would consider this analysis to be a fake.....
It was only a jokeThere are several guys on the Duramax Forum who think it's fake too.
Not surprised. The LMM is basically a tad stronger LBZ but with a DPF but it's a good engine.
