Nice video. I think this goes to show with the proper care trucks can last a long time. Now who really knows what kind of problems they may or may not have had but regardless the exterior and interior has held up great and that is 100% achievable for anyone if you just take care of your stuff.
Good point, the exterior/interior is a good sign for how the engine was taken care of. Most people who trash their car typically did the bare minimum when it came to maintenance 👍🏾
My boy 2016 lml is going on 700k miles with the original cp4 in it, we just check the regulator in it and no metal shavings, guys nothing wrong with the cp4 so don't get scared when ppl start panicking and taking shyt, yes the cp3 is more reliable and take the low sulphur diesel a little better, so don't run and spend that money thinking it will fail on you, spend the money on prevention, I've seen cp3 failures also, as he said our diesel fuel has less sulphur in it, so every time you fuel your truck add a 1/4 of atf, hotshots, DK or what ever lube you like to your fuel, you will never see a cp4 failure, and nothing wrong with atf for lube, it just don't have as much protection as hotshots, DK and all those conditioners as the rest, my 2 cents
A quarter of what? A quarter of a quart to full tank of fuel? Does your son run any other additives in his fuel? Just curious just got 2015 LML Denali, but had 05 6.0 Ford and was adding I'll have to find bottle name but it was from powerstroke help channel additive for stiction, just want to make sure I do right with this Denali. It has 102k miles on it. Thank you in advance for your help!
You can run hotshots, DK, ATF which is not a conditioner but you can use for your injection pump, what ever lube you like, I use hotshots or DK, my truck is deleted so I use high sulphur diesel I buy locally, invest in a lift pump is a must, I'm running fass165 and I kept all my filters, I know allot of guys delete their stock fuel filter as they are running lift pump, that's your choice, I don't trust those fuel station so I kept my filters, infact I upgraded all my filters to cat, buying these trucks used is a chance you're taking so if it's running stock equipment INVEST IN A LIFT PUMP very important
Thank you for that it kinda eases my mind a lil bit I just bought a 2011 with 77’000 miles very clean truck I been using the hot shots 2 oz per fill up. Everything stock a paw paws truck
A lot, if not most fifth wheels campers are below 18000 pounds.. I have an LML (2500hd) and I pulled a 40' Landmark fifthwheel for years just fine. Actually better than fine. The 40 ft. camper weighed around 17,000 pounds.
17,900 lbs is the actual fifth wheel rating. You can find PLENTY fifth wheels up to around 40' + and stay under that. But, I assure you, they'll handle it. That's a conservative number. I was just pointing out that it is certainly not true that a 3/4 ton diesel "can't pull a fifth wheel". I work pipeline and know dozens of people pulling all kinds of fifth wheels, including myself with my Landmark, which is really big. I also have a 7" BDS lift and 37x13.50r20 nittos, and it still pulls it just fine.. Of course a dually will be a little more stable, but a 3/4 ton diesel will do just fine with almost ANY fifth wheel.
Thanks for the tips at end of video! Just got myself a 2015 with 150,000 miles. so far so good! runs and drives beautifully like you said. I'm running archoil fuel additive for some lubricity for the cp4 and to boost c- tane
The owner took really good care of it. 4 .5 years of ownership my guess @ 125 miles a day average everyday. I would say little or no service shop issues.
I've seen trucks in the shop with cp4 failures at 17k miles, so it all depends where you get and how you treat your fuel, add a qrt of atf every fill up, you will never see a cp4 failure, Wally World sells cheap atf by the gal it's worth every penny
@@johnsondml ive heard its just bound to happen for sure the cp4 will fail.... so ur saying if i use like the lucas n stuff use it with every fill up it'll make the pump last alot longer?
Good stuff here. Yes, that owner babied that thing and the quality of it showed. Hard to keep a black HD that clean. Interior is amazing for a 5 year old HD with 200k miles. I've heard horror stories from LML owners about the CP4, but then some that say they've not had an issue. This owner either had it changed or knew how to keep it lubricates to avoid issues. Strange the payload was only 2100lbs on this.
Thanks bro, it’s a mixed bag too, I think guys who just dump whatever diesel in their trucks and never run any lubricator will more than likely have failures. I too thought the payload was light 👍🏾
Actually I have spoke to alot of people and the cp4 is the worst for our type of fuel....that pump was run and tested on diesel from over seas not our diesel and I have spoke to alot of the dealers and they have had alot of failures on the fuel system....I traded my 2016 3500 drw and it had 90k on it and already was having pump failure issues and honestly the dealership can tell you that out diesel killed the pump and they will not warranty it....I have had friends in that same situation...so I traded mine in on a 2017 3500 drw with a 6.0 vortec with 10,000 miles on it and never thought I would be happy on it but I am extremely satisfied with it
@@JB_WhoWork apparently more rear leg room on the 1500, and more visibility on the 1500 due to megacab being a 4th gen with a 5th gen user interface forced in. Limited trims eat up so much payload and tow capacity, 5ton tow 1ton payload is not far off from the 2500 mega being 7ton tow and 1400 payload? Only talking limited here.
I just bought a 2013 Chevy Silverado 2500HD LT 6.6L Duramax. It has 143,000 miles on it. Is it going to be ok to start running Lucas fuel conditioner in it. It claims to be a injector cleaner and upper cylinder lubricator. Will this also help to Lubricate that CP4 device? Where is the CP4 located? And can the do it yourself er change that out? So far I’ve had the cooling system, transmission and brake lines flushed.
If you were to educate yourself you would learn that fuel lubricity is not the problem. It is a design flaw within the CP4 that allows the roller cam follower to rotate and dig metal from the cam. S&S Diesel has a video here on UA-cam explaining this. The best fuel and additives, lift pumps, or anything else, will not prevent this from happening. The CP4 should be avoided completely and Ford continues to use (RAM 2019 to 2020) them and deny warranty coverage on a 10K+ repair blaming bad fuel. Do your research!
Definitely like this body style better than the current generation. You laid out some great information for anyone in the used market.👍
Thanks bro, this truck was my favorite style also and will be timeless for years to come. I do like the new model too...

In terms of payload, a fifth wheel will put most 3/4 tons over with a Diesel engine

Yup, this trumps the opinion that modern day diesels won’t run these miles problem free 👍🏾
Good to know my 2016 had a lot of life left in it since I only have just under 40k miles on it.
Yup, this truck most likely has a CP4 so I’m sure these trucks are pretty bullet proof 👍🏾

Just keep that pump lube and watch where you buy your diesel, or make sure you have a good lift pump, that's a plus
Just got a 2016 tonight..and love it so far. Great info
Congrats!!!
I have a 2015. 215k miles I have spent about 6k on emission issues. Everything else has been doing great. It’s time to delete!
No biggie for a chevy. I have a 2003 avalanche with 330k miles on the clock. Same engine and transmission. No work ever performed on it. 💯
Not bad, your Avalanche have a Duramax?
Don’t believe you have the same engine or transmission the lml was released in 2011
How can u tell if its been cp3 swapped? I have a 2016 2500 lml
For lml, get lift pump! and run a fuel additives. Ford and Cummins use same cp4 in those years but have a lift pump that GM did not install.
ford runs the same pump with a lift pump that operates at 60psi. They still fail a 1000 dollar lift pump isn't the solution. dodge went back to a Cp3
Facts lift pump helps with additives every full up
I love the duramaxs I got l5p I love it so far
🔥🔥🔥

That was 1 clean truck. Thanks for sharing a video on this truck JB.
Thanks Ric, you should feel good about your GMC Sierra!
@@JB_WhoWork Trust me brother I feel I made the right choice for me.
💯
Great review!
More great info brother!
Thanks bro 👍🏾
200,000 miles is nothing for a diesel. Toyota Corolla 4 cylinders do this all day everyday.
💯
Get a lift pump air dogg or fass which ever your preference is
To a ma for sharing Anthony 👍🏾
What was that knocking noise when u were hooking up

Weird comparison: RAM 1500 Crew Cab Limited ecoDiesel vs RAM 2500 Mega Cab Limited Cummins. Is the CC in 21 bigger than the '10-21 MC?
Not a bad idea, the cab for the 1500’s have more head room but the cab is larger in Mega

Oops CP4 device
How is your duramax doing now ?
It's doing great. Getting ready to take it on a 4,000 trip to Moab utah

"Can't really tow a fifth wheel" ?????? 🧐🧐🧐
Can’t tow a fifth wheel? This guy doesn’t know anything.
need to do more research before making a video have your information correct
