Scott, as promised I subscribed and just watched my first video of yours. Outstanding information and camera work. I love your truck man! Keep'em comin' and I will go back and check out the others. 👍
I’ve just purchased a 2017 Chevrolet 2500 Duramax diesel with 70,000 miles on it. It is a one owner, it has been well taken care of. Thank you for all your help so I can maintain my truck. I am a fanatic on doing all my scheduled maintenance on my vehicles. 👍
Just came across your vid, over all great job on the tutorial! I notice you have a leak on your rear main seal, between your oil pan and filter that wet spot on the aluminum area. I had my rear main seal replaced three times covered under bumper to bumper. 1st was done believe it or not at 600 miles 2nd around 14k miles and 3rd around 26k knock on wood since then it’s held. I’m in the neck of 69k miles on it now. Love the upgrades and your maintenance vids keep it comin bud!🤙🏽
All the research I’ve done seems impressive. So all spin on filters have been upgraded now. I am hopeful it will assist in prolonging the life of the truck. Thanks for watching (Again!) hahaha
I have seen those PPE oil filters also. I may try one of those one day. Still have a couple of cat filters I need to use up. As always thanks for watching! I appreciate it. Many more videos to come!
@@linksgarage1985 hey man I am new to the diesel world and I really appreciate what you do.. I'm still an LS guy mostly Corvettes but some f-bodies and a 2018 ZL1 always wanted a diesel and I am having a great time with it thanks again. This thing is a brute
@@tacticalbreadman7409 - Comments like this are what drive me. To keep creating useful content to help people. Glad it’s working. I appreciate it sir. And ZL1s are badass!
So Scott, did you fill the new filter up with fluid before you put it on? I tried to get the dealer to change my trans filter but they said no, you don't need to do that till 45000 miles. Never heard of a dealership turning down easy money. Anyways thanks for posting this Scott. Keep 'em coming man. Did you notice any difference in the trans temp, since you put the Wehrli plug in?
cavtj1- Yes I sure did. I didn’t film it. Although it’s unfiltered fluid, it’s brand new so it shouldn’t be an issue. I can’t believe they wouldn’t change it!!! I did notice a change in fluid temps! I have a video filmed I am putting together now on the plug review. You’ll have to wait a few days for that one! Thanks for the positive feedback! I am having fun doing this. And hoping to help someone along the way!
Dealerships turns shit down all the time now. Wanted them to change the oil early in mine (about 1k early because I was going to be extremely busy and wouldn’t have time around that mileage) they wouldn’t. I ended up doing it myself
Have you done replaced the transmission fluid yet? Not sure how many miles you're at. I'm right at the point of needing to and not seeing a lot of people talk about them for this gen duramax. Trying to figure out the best approach to take. Thanks!
@@linksgarage1985 That's what a lot of my research is pointing me to. Was debating going with Amsoil, but it wasn't listed on the Allison compatibility list. Thanks for the quick reply! Appreciate the videos!
The factory filter is just fine honestly. It is not necessary in any way. Just additional protection. The factory filter styles could last you an eternity. Thanks for watching!
If your thermostat was stuck you would have high temps especially during the warmer months. I’ve been running this for almost a year and a half and it’s kept my transmission nice and cool!
Hey Scott or whoever else can help I noticed when you were under the truck you had a cat filter I have 100’s of car filters but I can’t find d the adapter where will I find one af?
Scott Link- awesome man! One more question, if the truck is all stock and at stock height, do you think the new filter sticks down to low to where it could become a ground clearance problem? On a lifted truck I don’t see it being an issue, but just wanting to get your opinion on stock height?
No sir. I have seen stock trucks with all of the filter upgrades that I run with no issues. I will say, the potential for rock impact is increased. But just slightly. It won’t be an issue unless you are on a farm or frequently travel on gravel/ rocky roads. Regular day to day use, not an issue.
You should refill the filter before install, also ppe makes a oil filter now I had the cat kit on my 19 duramax but I switch to a ppe, I had bad luck though because it spun off off about a month after now I’m always worried about spin off filters.
Victor Oliveira - I looked at those also. They offer great filtration. And you can use your factory screw on bung. If I ever have any issues and swap back, it may be a PPE oil filter. Either way, both offer better than factory filtration! And sorry to hear that!
@@mikethetoolman8776 the best is an amsoil filter and mobil one is pretty good too im fascinated about oils and filtration i have done a lot of research and this is my conclusion
I think it will be ok. Stock truck still sits up pretty good. Shouldn’t be an issue unless you do off-roading. Or rough type driving on rocky farm roads or something. If most of your time is on the road, it’s a non issue. Thanks for watching I appreciate it!

Working out great!! Thanks for watching! I appreciate it.
Would this be necessary for just dailey driving around. I live in new york so we dont always get extremely hot days
The factory filter is just fine honestly. It is not necessary in any way. Just additional protection. The factory filter styles could last you an eternity. Thanks for watching!

40K if you don’t tow. 20k if you do.
How does the price compare to oem filter
$17 vs $12. The OEM filter is fantastic and will serve you well forever. Just wanted to try this out. And it offers better filtration that factory.
Did you prime the new filter?
Yes I did. I prefilled it prior to installation. Thanks for watching I appreciate it!
I have a stock 2020 2500 high Country with no lift. Will this double deep hang low enough for potential damage or is it still tucked up high enough?

The new 10 speed doesn’t have a spin on filter I don’t believe

Should’ve filled it with fluid before reinstalling!
I do. Just didn’t film it
How much tranny fluid did you put in the new filter?
I just filled up the filter and let it roll.
