![ЛЕБЕДЕВ у ДУДЯ: муху не обманешь 😁 [Пародия]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/E74h5fvVrqs/mqdefault.jpg)
I’ve got a 2016 lml, and when I bought it GM said to change it around 45,000 miles. Do you think me letting it go that long has hurt it? Im about to start doing it as you suggested. Thanks!
Its cheap and easy insurance. I would change it at these suggested intervals.
I’m definitely going to start doing it with my fuel filters, which is every 10,000 like you said. Hopefully I haven’t hurt my trans by this point. Thanks!
cool. Yeah, every other oil change or 10-15K miles should keep you running strong.
@@jameswalker4123 oi
the 2005 eqanox you have to do it every 30,000 but you cant check it
so might as well do it every 15,000 to 20,000
but if youhave a dipstick you can check it and if its brown change it and if its darker brown change it
if its getting off red change it if its black change it with added lub for next 5 changes
i change my z28 fluid every 10,000 and its about 9 bottles and its 10 bucks a bottle HAHAHA so yeah
but i know my gears are running red and what not
and you can use dex 6 for me thats what i use
i dont know if diesel is different fluid for trans but all other chevys its all dex 6 now
unless its other t1 stuff
THE END
::))
I just replaced the one the factory put on in my 2005 duramax with 275,000 but I would say it’s the having a tune for 1,000ft lbs an the trans not being built is my main issue.... haha
For whats it's worth, I change my Allison spin on filter every 25k miles and top off with Transynd. Every 100k, I drain the system and refill. Every 200k I double drain and do the internal filter.
My Allison made it to 1.2 million miles of towing pretty heavy and often before getting a rebuild.
LB7 now has 1.3 million on the odometer.
Thanks brother. I would have never have thought about it. Just bought a 2019. And about to change fuel filter.
Good habit to take a sharpie to all your filters write date/mileage them
Good idea im going to start doing this might use a paint pen though
Great suggestion, I've been doing it for 25+ years, and I'm always amazed how easy it is. Always said I'd just keep a Maintenance Log on my truck, but sadly, I never did. Just relied on my parts receipts.
Dang, now I have to change my fuel filter!
Better to just document all of your maintenance in a notebook.
Thank you, I have been changing my spin on every 25K.
For an oil filter that is vertical or on a diagonal, I'll take a large nail & w/ a hammer pierce the center(or lowest point) of the filter housing to let the fluid drain...then remove. If you're in a hurry; let the oil drain from the filter for 15-25 seconds, then plug the hole w/ a wood dowel & remove the filter. The filter in the video is small so it'll only take a minute to flow to a drip. I've been doing this on the huge oil filter on my IH/Ford 7.3 Diesel. Keeps the work area & me much cleaner.
Cheap insurance for sure!
My 2001 8.1L 2500hd went on limp home mode today. Did ignition on/off 5x and it ran again. New filter tomorrow definitely!
Every transmission should have a spin off filter and magnetic fluid drain plug.
Only one I've ever seen is the big Allison. Drain plug and outside filter.
I had an outside drain cap and magnet set up in an ancient Chrysler transmission many years ago and never needed it.
Honda puts their literally thimble size inline transmission filter buried inside the case.
Once it's plugged, the unit fails. Very handy.
Thank you for the video. I recently purchased a 07 lbz dually and did not do this to my vehicle. Doing so tomorrow.
Thanks for a great and informative video. Good instructions and visual aid. I like the suggestion when to change the filter. Excellent video.
Glad it was helpful!
I found that magnet and was surprised. I cleaned it off and put it back on, then decided to research. Looks like i did the right thing. This explains why the drain plug doesn't have a magnetic tip. THANK YOU!
You're welcome.
Thank you for making this video. I am a fairly new Duramax Diesel owner. I also thought all the trans fluid would drain out. That looks easier than an oil change or fuel filter change, I do both of those on my own. I will be doing this right away and often. Thanks again!
You won't drain out more than half, because the torque converter is not being drained. The best you can do is drain it. Drive it for a month, then drain it again, where you are increasing the percentage of older fluid to newer fluid. In most cases, that is enough.
Thanks for your help on maintenance information. I just bought a 2017 Chevrolet 2500 Duramax truck. It’s a High Country with only 70,000 miles on it. This was a one owner truck. I’m new to the diesel world, I’m big on schedule maintenance on my vehicles. 👍
Don’t forget the mass air valve…clean
Great advice! LMM Duramax owner!🏁
New follower. First time duramax owner. Glad I watched. Good info.
Welcome aboard! Thanks.
Your videos are detailed unlike others. 1 small lack of following a detail can cause a bad day/week/month/year.
We try. We make videos to help save people some money and headache! 💰
Really GREAT how you showed us how to check the fluid level after replacing the filter.
You aint loosing that much fluid and honestly, if you're that worried about how much you lost. Well, fill the new filter with transmission fluid and spin it on. That's how much fluid you lost.
Wish I would have known this before my transmission went out. Damnit
Very helpful video thank you. Hope to see more 😊
Glad it was helpful!
Great video. Thanks.
Great job my brother great info
Much appreciated!
Glad I subscribed Outstanding Info
Do you recommend a warm up before changing filter and fluid?
I am going to drop fluid in pan as well
Will 2 gallons do the change?
Thanks for all you do.
Great info.!
Thanks!
I will listen to you and change it with my fuel filter thank you
Cheap insurance.
GM recommends 22,500 for fuel filter. The dash DIC matches that. Some guys I know do every 15,000. It will be worse the colder climate you live in. As for the spin on, I do every 10-12.5k miles…. It’s really easy…
Good video. Probably should’ve mentioned that you would need to check the transmission fluid level after replacing a filter because of the fluid that drained out.
Maybe a 1/2 a cup drained out…
@@1DirtyMutt Still a good idea to check the fluid level. I just wasted a few minutes watching this because checking the level was my goal. unscrewing a filter shouldn't take any directions. Lefty loosey, righty tighty.
@@ronjclm8590 just pull the dipstick and look at it didn’t think that would require directions
@@thetexorcist2235 I have 3 Duramax trucks. To get the correct reading on the transmission. There is a specific proceedure spelled out in my owners manual.
I fill the new filter up with new fluid
Great simple video.....
Thanks!
Good idea! I was doing it every 30,000 miles, but will change it at 10,000 miles on my 2005 GMC 2500. I wish all AUTO XMSN filters were this easy to change. I have over 350K miles on this XMSN, and it is still performing great. I also use synthetic Dexron III fluid in it, not the super expensive Allison TranSynd fluid, and it works just fine. No issues at all. And, I read that GM drains the Transynd fluid at the factory, and replaces it with Dexron III before the new trucks leave to be delivered at a dealership..
Transynd is PAO and is superior to that swarf you’re pouring in your transmission. GM wouldn’t pour our transynd to replace fluids…I heard GM recycles every 2nd truck as it leaves the assembly line too.
CUT N CLEAR !!
TANKS
You're welcome!
@Thoroughbred Diesel, how many quarts approx are needed with a pan drop and internal, and a new external too? I am getting just to the start of the hot hash marks at 165 F in park, on the higher end of the cold hash marks, before I run the truck up to temp. thanks Wade!
I fill mine with seafoam transmission additive just because that stuff has been great to me for decades.
Great video Brother
Much appreciated!
Are Allison filters the best or can another excellent quality compatible filter such as WIX or K&N be used?
Great video
I have 12,500 miles in my Allison since spin on and fluid changed
Will do the spin on
Allison Duramax said 30,000 to 40,000 miles to do the Fluid change
Thoughts?
Have mine changed with oil filter. Always figured, I would not have to remember if it has been changed or not.
Would it be OK since the filter is straight up and down to fill the filter with trans oil and then screw it in?
Based on the color of that fluid it needs more than just a filter. Like a double drain and refill
I am a stickler for oil and filter changes..have an 02 LB7 that just rolled 357,000 miles today..orignal engine..orignal trans...change oil and oil every 3000 miles..Allison spin on every 5000 miles..drop trans pan and install new internal filter and new spin on every 25,000/30,000 miles..front rear,diffs every year..run a Fass Ti150 /Beans Sump 10 micron water Sep and 2 micron fuel filter those get changed every 6000 miles or sooner..sometimes before an oil change I dump a can of seafoam in the crankcase.Installed new injectors June 2018 and took pictures of underneath the valve cover..spotless! Seafoam put my truck in there winter time magazine or Instagram post in December I think.white 02 with 350,000 miles at the time!! Maintenance is cheap insurance.
Wix oil,fuel filters
Allison brand spin on
Mobil 15w40 1300 delvac 2.5 jug
Wix filters and the mobil delvac are definitely the way to go. Strongly agree
Have you ever tried royal purple?, I swear I actually feel a difference from when I used Mobil. And now I change my oil every 7,000.
ACDelco spin on transmission filter I use Rotella 1540 T5 I got 392,000 Mi running strong
Did the 2020 2500 do away with this filter? Can't seem to find this online.
Great stuff
However I was ready to change fluid and filter
But looked at Dip Stick and that fluid looks Brand New Crystal Clean
Last year put 700 miles 1 trip
Year before that 2000 miles
2008 Truck only had 61K org miles And has been. Well maintained by a Diesel Mechanic
So am thinking wait and out a few more miles on before change out. Have all the All Parts
Thanks for your great video
I usually don’t change the fluid warm, and I might be wrong on this. However, it doesn’t matter what I do or what precautions I take, I usually wind up WEARING about half of the transmission fluid. It never fails. So for me personally, I don’t change it warm.
Great video buddy.... one question u don’t lose enough trans fluid to worry about adding? Or should I fill the filter up mines a 2020 so I can’t add from top it’s upfill I guess
2020’s if you have the 10 speed, don’t have the external spin on filter, only the internal filter.
I bought my my Wife's Friends Late Husband's very clean 2011 Silverado HD 6.6L Duramax w/only 98K. I'm fixin to change out the Trans, Fuel, Oil & Filters out at 100K. Oh yea, I'm swapping out the Worst designed GM Trough Oil Pan too. w/ a PPE deep flat bottom Pan. Former Owner kept it in great Service condition, but I still want to know I'
m doing my Do Diligence to hopefully get at least 200K + mi. out of it with proper servicing & Maint. Thanks for your Vlogs, I'm really learning a lot here viewing your Videos as this is my first Diesel.
One time I was at the fuel pump in Indiana and I was talking to a lady and she said she had 900,000 miles on her 2011 GMC Duramax engine
Just a little hint A break the filter loose but not leaking I take a small Phillips bottle of my hand I just bumped the screwdriver up into the bottom of the filter then I loosen the filter oil runs out that holds that all around the top not quite so messy you don’t have to wait for the whole thing to drain just wait for it to leak down below sea level I found it be easier to be neat and clean enjoyed your video
Thanks and great tip!
Good video just curious though if you’re not sure on what fluid was put in the truck originally be it AC Delco or transynd or some other fluid is it OK to mix fluids as long as it’s dexron VI since a little bit of fluid drops out when you change the filter?
The trucks to my knowledge are produced with Dexron. I am not aware of there being a problem with mixing of Transynd and Dexron.
Hello sir . I no this is an older video.. very informative.. my question is upon re- installation does it matter if you put the magnet back on trans housing or inside the filter .. thx in advance
We suggest the magnet be reinstalled for sure. I know some of the knockoff filters don’t accept them, don’t use those filters.
Is this on 2wd as well
Thank you for the video. Do I need to add fluid after I replace that filter?
YW. Just a little. Fill till fluid level is correct on trans dipstick, check with engine running.
Thanks for the video. If you're able to answer I have a question about my Duramax. I have a 2008 2500. I keep hearing that I should be putting a lift pump on my fuel system to prevent future injector/injector pump problems. Do you have an opinion on this?
The lift pump kits that offer extra filtration will decrease your chance of premature injector wear caused by lack of filtration. We do suggest using them for all common rail motors.
Thoroughbred Thank you good to know. Does the positive pressure to the injector pumps have any benefit in your opinion?
Recommended service interval - ANY DAY EXCEPT MONDAY
lol
I like your video though, but don’t you have to replace that little bit of oil that you loose from replacing the filter ?
I agree. You are losing transmission oil - albeit a small amount. It should be topped off.
Do you guys have a video on changing the transmission fluid on a 2019 Chevy Silverado Duramax diesel engine 4x4 6.6
Not yet but it is in the works.
If there is metal fragments would you look at dropping the pan and doing an internal transmission filter change?
Internal filter only gets changed when a rebuild gets done
If you have metal fragments you’re way past just changing some filters…
Do u have to add trans fluid after the new filter is on ? How much fluid do I need to add ? And what kind of u recommend?
I usually add about 10 ounces of ATF when done. First time I changed the spin on, I measured how much was lost, and that was the number. I top off with AC Delco Dexron VI, I believe that is the factory fill ATF.
After seeing this video I bought transmission filters for my 2021 GMC Duramax 3500 because I’ve never changed. Bought truck new. Is it possible I don’t have an external transmission filter? I can’t find anywhere.
Yes, the later model Duramaxes do not have the external transmission filter. 2019 was the last year for them.
Do you have a video on changing fuel filter? I have a 2015 Chevy Silverado 2500 HD 6.6 L turbo diesel 4x4.
They can be a pain in the ass... you can try cranking wheel all the way left and reaching up under fender, or pull front passenger wheel and inner fender liner off and you'll have a whole lot better acces... may or may not take a bit longer but a lot less swearing lol
I always fill new filter about 1/2 full of seafoam
Question: Should you add new fluid to the filter (fill 1/2 or 3/4) and then install the new filter? To account for any loss of fluid when taking off?
Yes, adding a little to the filter then checking the fluid level is recommended.
This is all new to me. My ‘20 Duramax is my first diesel since my ‘97 Ford. My truck has reminders for fuel filter, def, oil change, air filter, etc., but nothing on a Trans Filter. Also, my truck has 49k miles on it, and all my service work, from oil changes, to tires is done at my local Chevy dealership. If this is so important, why has no one from the dealership ever mentioned it, and why is there no notification warning as there is for everything else? Is GM deliberately trying to hide this from us, ‘cause it wouldn’t surprise me? I’m not trying to be argumentative, just trying to follow this to its logical conclusion. Thanks!
Question i have is that i bought a 2016 lml and it has 120k on it. I contacted the previous owner and the trans has never been serviced at all. Is it a good idea to replace that filter. I really want to do a full service but have always heard if its never been done don't do it
If its never been serviced, it needs to be serviced. That old wives tale will not apply to automatic transmissions. Need to service the external and internal filters as well.
Ok so I just bought a 2500 HD I did all the fluid changes . Bought a magnet for. The trans filter. When I did the fuel filter .. I noticed it had no water sensor or separator on it. At this moment I still
Have 41% oil life left. Today I got all my oil and filters. I plan on getting aid dog set up. When I do what do I do with factory set up. How do I block it or get rid of it? Ty 2005 Chevy HD
The factory filter should have a water separator built in... big plastic screw with a wire coming out on bottom of filter.
Lots of companies make filter delete kits, basically a metel bowl that goes in place of filter
A strong rear earth magnet on the outside of your filter will trap ferrous metal particles. And you can move it to the new filter when you service agian. You can do the same thing with engine oil filter also.
Waste of time.
So do you need to add trans fluid for that little loss or is it ok?
You will lose a little here so just top off.
Gloves, box of 100 from Harbor Freight for $7.99, good to have around for stuff like this!
He's an old school mechanic. Most guys about 40 and older grew up working on vehicles without gloves. I tried using gloves but just can't seem to get used to them. It just doesn't feel right. So, I keep a big container of Gojo handy.
@@segarza Ya I hear that, one in awhile I use real thin painters latex gloves if I'm doing something super greasy.
as of 2021 the gloves are up to $21 a box
Can a stopped up filter cause my transmission act up? Like jumping outta gear in 4th gear!
Yes. Change the filter may need pan drop and internal filter to wouldn't flush if your having a issue.
Good job!!
Thanks!
do you top off transmission fluid after trans filter change? im new to duramax
Check fluid and add as needed through the dipstick fill.
Do u have to add more fluid since some was lost ?
Just a small amount. Run the truck to operating temp then check fluid. Add as needed.
do you need to replace the magit every time ???
No, but you do need to clean the magnet every time.
I just bought a brand new 2021 2500HD Chevy Silverado. It has an in closed transmission. I got under it and couldn’t find this spin off filter. Am I blind or does this truck not have one? Please help 🤓 thank you in advance.
Only 6.6 Liter Duramax-equipped vehicles have the Allison transmission, which means that you have a gasoline engine in your truck.
info on... just got a 2015 3500 alison, whats proper fluid change? 150k miles, unknown if ever been done,
i guess im asking, for a good guide or routie to get started, fluid change ... flush? the truck used to be a lease truck, and plenty of dealership matiance but dont see anythign about tranny service. 150k miles what to service?
How often to change the fluid on a 2020 durramax?
Refer to owners manual for this and other service intervals, but all data calls for trans fluid change at 135000 miles.
After how many filter changes should you top off or should you top off every filter change and about how much fluid do you believe you loose in the filter when removing it
Not much is lost there, maybe 1/8 qt? Always check fluid on stick according to mfg recommendations.
I believe you lose about 8-10 ounces per swap. So a quart of ATF will do you for up to four filter changes. You can check the stick for level, but it is really difficult to read IMHO.
What about the transmission fluid you lose while replacing the filter ? Should one just top off the new filter with new transmission fluid ?
Check your leve use the dipstick boi! and add as necessary
Add 8-10 ounces of Dexron VI.
does this go for the Allison with 8.1 i got 2006 2500 hd
Yep, same transmission is used with the 8.1L
How often should a complete fluid change happen?
It should be inspected every 15K miles, filters changed and fluid changed at 50K.
news to me, i need to start doing this,
anything els i am missing and need to do to my truck ?
The filter hangs straight down. Why would you not fill the new filter before you install it?
This guys not smart haha
Works both ways. I just let the supplied oil that runs through it pass through the filter.
Catapilar technicians claim too never fill your filter with oil and reasoning was contaminated oil gets on the clean side and then is cycled through the motor/transmissions! They claim this was worse then the few seconds the motor would run with out oil too the top end ! I've always filled my filters and still do but hey they are the technicians lol!
Team Deep Tillage
The cat guys are right of your not carful or don’t use a filter filler. Dirt is worse for wearing parts then air is.
But if you make sure to put the oil into the filter in the proper place or use a filler then you have no dirt and no air.
donald sipes i was asking myself the same question lol after a few filters change the transmision is gonna be low on trans fluid.
It's cheap insurance on your transmission. How often do you recommend the fluid to be changed.
Noah kraft good question
Check the diesel supplemental guide for your truck. It will suggest normal and severe duty intervals. I always follow the severe duty schedule for additional peace of mind.
Did you do this while transmission was full?
@pauljauch Yes, the trans doesn’t need to be drained to change the filter.
Do you not add any fluid back?
If needed yes.
They say knowledge is power, that means that wade 99% is the strongest guy in the room.
Is this the only service it needs?
I have rebuild with 30k miles trying figure out what i should due service it or only change filter
No, there are service intervals on the internal filter as well. Refer to you owners manual.
How many miles you have now when should you due internal filter after re built
Is there one of these on a 2023 GMC Sierra Denali?
If equipped with a Allison, yes.
Do you add fluid back in ?
Yes, about a small amount. Check dipstick after changing.
What about the fluid that spilled out? Don't have to replace it?
A small amount is lost on the filter change, check fluid level and add as necessary.
How much transmission fluid do i have to add after changing the filter .
Seriously?
@@xploration1437 im talking about changing the spin on filter only
Dealer told me when i changed my spin on filter add only a half a quart
8-10 oz
Hey I have a 2019 Chevy 3500hd dually and only 17k miles on it I am the only one that had the truck only pull a 8.5x24 trailer here and there and the transmission is slipping And changing gears rough just took it to the shop yesterday they asking me if I added some kind of additive Because the fluid seems thick When they rub their fingers together And I ask them why would I add something when it’s a brand new truck so now I got to see what they say today
Very strange. Let us know what they find.
@@thoroughbreddiesel will do
What year truck was the one you changed the spin on filter?
2011
I followed his recommendation and now my transmission is shifting different. Anybody have any words of advise on what could be the issue?
Have you checked fluid. Nothing in this installation would have affected your shifting unless you have some something to block fluid flow. I suggest taking it back down and checking your work.
@@thoroughbreddiesel If he followed your recommendation to flush it, that is where the transmission got F-ed up. Never "Flush" an automatic transmission!
Did you put your magnet back in place
Are you in a regen? That definitely seems to make the shifting less smooth…. Other than that, make sure you are not low or overfill of level on tranny…
How many miles before changing the transmission fluid and filter?
We usually change the external filter every other oil change. As for fluid and filter, I would suggest changing both at 50K miles. Cheap insurance for a healthy trans.
Is it ok to use a WIX BRAND FILTER?
As long as it is the correct part number per Wix. We suggest using genuine Allison if at all possible.
How often do you recommend changing the transmission fluid?
Go with your owners manual on this.
If you are changing this filter every 10,000 miles, at 100K you would have swapped almost 3 quarts of fluid, which is just under 1/2 capacity. Another reason to change the filter regularly!!!
Good video
Thanks!
Any special recommends on fluid? Amsoil atf worth the hype?
If you are going to change over to an Amsoil, I would recommend doing an entire fluid flush and change. If not, follow factory recommendations on fluid (Dexron VI or equivalent).
@@thoroughbreddiesel You must be joking. You should know better. NEVER, EVER FLUSH AN AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION. You will end up with severe transmission problems, because you are back flowing the fluid and all the dirt and gunk in it and you will F*** up your transmission big time. Just drain it, change the filter and add new fluid. That is IT. If you flush it, expect to spend thousands of $$$ to fix your little flush job.
@@markdavid4897 Not if you line flush it!
Do you top off the fluid
Yes, you will lose a small amount of fluid.
how much fluid do u need to add after replacing the filter??
Just a small amount. Run the truck to operating temp then check fluid. Add as needed.
8-10 oz
What fluid don’t you suggest to top it back off with
What he said
The 5 speed Allison 1000 should take TES 295 spec fluid. Transynd is suitable and popular, although genuine Allison fluid is always the safest bet.
How much fluid do i add back in the trans?
@@Chrisfitmunoz just fill yhe new filter to the top and its close enough
If its a 5 speed allison do what that guy said in tge comments but if its a 6 speed then it needs dexron 6
What type of fluid do you use? Transynd?
You can use transynd or any allison tes 295 fluid. I personally use mobile delvac atf with great results.
We used Dextron here, Transynd works too.
Lucas !
GM uses Dexron VI. I’m not sure you can mix fluids…
Grab the maget🤣
So after that. Then what? Just fire it up and is it good? Will there be air in the system? Will it just bleed it self?
Yes, you can fire up right after the change. The pump will refill the filter, but we suggest you checking the fluid level and refilling to the correct level.
Do you top off transmission fluid?
Yes, we drive the truck and bring to operating temp and top if needed.
Do you need to add transmission fluid?
Not much but yes you will lose a little fluid.
I'm curious, at what point do you lose enough transmission fluid doing this do you need to consider a fluid top off or change??
With anything you do like changing filters you should always check the fluid and top off as necessary.
@@thoroughbreddiesel Thanks for the info, and the reply. Just picked up my first diesel yesterday. A 2019 Silverado 2500 High Country with the beautiful L5P. Love it.
Casey Todd just wait until you put a tune on that thing....
@@kevinswartz2396 I actually found a shop in Florida (I'm in Texas) that specializes in cracking into and tuning the L5P since it's such a booger to tune and delete. The price to do all of the necessary shenanigans was NOT a pretty number.
@@caseytodd7632 so worth it, I like the l5ps but I picked up a 16 LML last year. Just did the full delete last week. AMAZING.
