Your right on.

Thanks everyone for your input on this subject. It was very entertaining but not educational. Bottom line. The GM 6.6L should not consume oil, which it does, no matter the driving style. Only time will tell if it lasts past 100k. I am hoping 200k+. GM needs to get back to the piston rings and top fuel injection which works and has been proven. You may now move about the cabin.

Same here until my 6.6L definitely not normal to burn oil.
-
Some how I still think he wont get it. Too many engineering classes does this to you.
-
Common sense prevails.
-
Agree! According to all engine manufactures any area of the range is good. I check mine cold as well. But I have checked hot as well.
-
For clarity: per the manufacturer the 6.6L takes 8 quarts of oil with a filter replacement. I always add that amount which puts near the top of the dipstick range.

Over engineering everything LOL

Humm! Homer, if you read what I actually wrote, you might gain understanding. SMH.....
-
The point is the purpose for the range on the dipstick is for expansion of the oil as it gets hot.
-
Only when its convenient for GM. Its called ass covering. the 6.6 that consumes.
-
Expansion and retraction not consumption
-
Oil dipsticks have a range (usually marked with "L" and "F" or a crosshatched area) because oil naturally expands as it gets hot. This range gives your engine a safe margin of operation, ensuring there is enough oil to properly lubricate moving parts without overfilling it past the maximum

your tires are sick! Looks like KO3'S. Where did you get the torsion key tool?
-
Did you install the kit yourself?
-
Probably should check it while running. Like an auto transmission. Record it and check it from there.
-
Wrong thread. Nevermind

Good looking truck, suspensionmaxx looks like a solid option

Thanks for the info, im considering a leveling kit or 4" lift kit.

This topic is exhausting! I think I have the record for most replies. I should get a trophy to go with my new t-shirt. @Atlas

Good to see all of the smart logical early retirees.
