2015 New to me Duramax recommended maintaince

I agree with that .... after a years free LOF's on my 2007.5 I could see the dealership never touched some of the zerks if any. There are (11) zerks on these things and tough to get at some of them without a lift. I always did my own service after the freebees - but that was the tough part. Fuel filters very easy to do if you remove the wheel well liner each time - these access panels make it easier yet:

Thanks for the link! I didn't want to remove my mud flaps every time a fuel filter needs to be changed.

 

Problem solved.

My 2 cents is buy genuine AC fuel filters and change them between 12-15K miles. Do not go by what filter life says on your truck. May prevent future issues with injectors. I recall they were less expensive on Ebay than local I when buying them for my 2011 LML.

hi Lgetz

 

thanks mate - my truck was converted to LH drive and I get that company to do maintenance for me = they recommend changing the oil and filter every 10,000 kms {6200 miles} (or earlier if it comes up on the DIC) - and yeah they use AC delco filters

Check your grease fittings on the front end! May need a little love. I picked up a 2015 with 30k a few months back and just checked my grease fittings yesterday. Doesn't look like they have ever been touched.

I agree with this. Most have never been greased from the factory or from the dealer. There are 9 or 11 fittings up front. I don't recall which.
