Chevy/GMC LLY Duramax Oil Change (How To Video)
Переглядів 350Місяць тому
Welcome back to the channel! In today's video, I’ll be walking you through how to change the oil on my 2005 Chevy Silverado 2500HD 6.6L Duramax LLY. This step-by-step guide applies to the 2004-2005 LLY Duramax, and the process should be similar for other Duramax variations. Have suggestions or think there's a better way to do something? Let me know in the comments! Thanks for watching!

In this video, I dug into an issue that came up at random on my 1998 Jeep Cherokee XJ. I pulled a P0118 code, then diagnosed it, and repaired the issue.

    But why? I am considering a complete rebuild of my original 1997 TJ Sport. I spec-ordered her in late 1996 (my name is on the Jeep Morrone sticker. And all my kids learned “stick” in her…She’s as much a part of the family ….so I just don’t have e the heart to part with her. 27 years later, 155k on the clock. I plan a brand new frame, and rework and rebuild….and update / modernize the interior, etc etc etc. So I get it! Though I don’t understand this shaft replacement. Regardless, I appreciated the simplicity of this video.

      Congrats on having your jeep almost as long as I've been alive! The point of the Slip Yoke Eliminator kit for the transfer case is to swap out the weak factory output shaft for a shorter and stronger CV style shaft/yoke. This style of yoke requires a double cardon joint set up on your new driveshaft to bolt it together. With the main purpose of smoothening out driveline vibrations, taking more daily abuse from the lift kit, oversized tires, etc. This upgrade is a must if you plan to lift your jeep more than 2 inches. I hope this information helped!

      Hey, thanks for the comment! I ended up tripling my investment by scrapping the body, figuring out there was a second cataylic converter(then scrapping that), scrapping the battery, selling the wheels, and listing some smaller parts on my ebay page! This was definitely a fun vehicle to mess around with.

    When’s the last year before they started installing emission systems on Duramax ? Also have you seen that video where they overfill the oil pan & nothing catastrophic happens ?

    • @WestCoastConnectionGarage
      @WestCoastConnectionGarage 28 днів тому

      Hello, 2000- early 2004, the first variation of the duramax came with no emissions this is known as the LB7 (no egr, dpf, no def), then 2004.5-2005 duramax LLY which came with only an EGR, then 2006- early 2007 duramax LBZ again only came with an EGR (this is the most desirable version of the duramax). Any variation after 2007.5 has an EGR, DEF, AND DPF system. Lastly, I have not seen any video about overfilling these trucks with oil. I simply would not risk it. Be precise and confident when adding fluids.

    • @WestCoastConnectionGarage
      @WestCoastConnectionGarage Місяць тому

      Thank you very much. They are actually from a 2002 Corvette Z06. There was a limited production of these wheels, as they were a custom order. They are made of magnesium. I'm able to carry two wheels with 1 arm with how light they are. Made in Italy also. Lastly, the sizing is actually staggered 17x.8.5 in the front and 18x9.5 in the rear.

My original plan was to modify my current t56 for my LS swap, but the amount of extra money it would cost to adapt it I could just buy an ls1/t56 car and be good to go!
