I would argue that the bulk def from a busy truckstop pump is probably fresher than jugs.

 

(if you are saying don't by jugs that are stacked by a fuel pump, then I'd agree)

 

 

No I’m saying buy the jugs. Lots of reported issues with the stuff at the pumps being contaminated.

What kind of fuel mileage does it get? sounds like way more def than the 6.6 GM's are usng.

GM 6.6's def usage is about 1.5 or 2% of fuel.

I guess I should say that it's a M2 freightliner chassis with the 6.7 cummins, so I'm sure the emissions requirements make so that the regen is performed more often. For how big and heavy the truck is it can get 12mpg on a good day and my normal avg is 11mpg.

I been making it a point when needing to fill DEF.  Turn the nossle downward before ever bringing it up to the truck.  Those nossels all seem to have fluid in them when being taken from the pump.

There are some starting to show up at dealers near here.

 

Reviews would be appreciated.

Hey, check this guys vid out,  maybe one of the first owners on YouTube

In my area fuel is the same price, def is roughly $25/7-8000km depending on usage, and oil changes are the same. So def and fuel filters are the added cost. $100/yr in def and 2 fuel filters, not a big deal.

thats great,  diesel here is always at least a dollar a gallon more,  and unless I have read bad information, (can't believe I'd get that on the internet?)  the diesel holds 2 quarts more than the gas.   Not saying its a huge difference, but a couple of bucks here and there adds up quick

So the price difference in fuel is the difference between premium (suggested fuel for the 6.2L) and regular. Oh wait, maybe not in your area ie. the world so that’s irrelevant. And no big deal that it holds two quarts more, you can do twice the mileage per oil change.

I guess redwngr will have to research prices in his area and decide for himself,  I'm not here to talk him or anybody else into or out of anything,  just tossing out things to think about,  oh, and for the record, I was comparing the duramax to the 5.3 because I don't think there is a comparison to the 6.2.  

It's just my 2 cents,  you don't have to agree...

Anyone seen fuel mileage listed on the sticker? Looking at them on auto trader it only has the mpg listed at 22/19. If that's the case I dont want it lol

I believe for a 4x4 its something like 19/29 and a 2x4  22/33 or something like that.

DETROIT — The 2020 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 with the available, all-new 3.0L Duramax turbo-diesel engine delivers an EPA-estimated 33 mpg highway and 23 city in rear-wheel-drive models. EPA-estimated fuel economy for four-wheel drive models is 29 mpg highway/23 city.

That's right. I guess autotrader doesn't have the mpg for up for the new diesel yet. 

 

I have one on order, hopefully I see the sticker for myself this week.

Found link to EPA data for chev and gmc,  both 2 and 4wd :

https://www.fueleconomy.gov/feg/pdfs/guides/FEG2020.pdf

 

Numbers are      combined  city/hwy

2wd chev  3.0L, 6cyl     27  23/33 

4wd chev 3.0L,  6cyl     25  23/29

 

2wd gmc 3.0L,  6cyl     26  23/30

4wd gmc  3.0L, 6cyl     24  22/26

about .20 difference around Dallas area.  Seems like Premium runs more than diesel.

I driven my share of diesel trucks, all before the low sulfur change. Their mileage and durability was incredible. My brother and nephew continue for awhile. They weren’t as reliable after the changes. I read here that sometimes you can’t stop driving when you want to because of regen. Even in the light duty diesel. That alone would deter me.

    • Welcome back! No, it definitely doesn't pass the sniff test. Even "ceasefire" needs an alternative definition these days.    $5.29 at Kroger today
    • That makes sense, and I think you are describing the real product problem. Capturing data is the easy part. If the owner or technician has to manually dig through five minutes of millisecond-level logs, the product has already failed. The device would be at the ECM harness, not at the OBD port, so I agree that data retrieval and event marking need to be thought through carefully. The way I am thinking about the architecture is: The recorder itself should not depend on a phone, app, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, or cloud connection to capture the event. It should always keep a local rolling buffer and lock the event locally. A button, phone app, or small cabin device would only act as an event marker. If the driver feels a stumble and presses the button 10–30 seconds later, the pre-buffer has to already contain the useful data. For data retrieval, the practical options would be a sealed service USB lead, Wi-Fi download, or a phone/cabin companion device. I would not expect the owner to remove the ECM-side module or work with raw files directly. The cloud or AI side would be for interpretation, not for capturing the event. The truck may have no connection when the issue happens, so the evidence has to be saved locally first. After that, cloud processing could help decode the data, compare it against baselines, and generate a readable report. For the first version, I would keep the automatic triggers conservative and objective: driver event marker bus-off error passive voltage drop / brownout device reset FIFO or queue overflow a normally periodic message disappearing side-to-side communication mismatch, if the topology supports that For “learning normal,” I agree with your point, but I would not want to overclaim it as automatic root-cause diagnosis at first. A realistic first step would be learned baseline comparison for that specific vehicle and operating condition. For example, a value would only be compared against similar conditions: RPM range load / MAP throttle position gear / vehicle speed coolant and oil temperature battery voltage AFM/DFM state, if decoded and validated Then the report could flag things like: this periodic message disappeared compared with its normal timing this value deviated from this vehicle’s normal range under similar conditions the same abnormal pattern repeated after the same type of event the anomaly occurred together with voltage, oil-pressure, misfire, or communication changes But I would still call that “abnormal pattern detected,” not “replace this part,” unless there is enough validated repair data behind it. So the intended product would not be “here is a huge log.” It would need to be an event package: what triggered the capture how much pre/post data was preserved what changed before and after the event whether the device itself reset, overflowed, or saw a bus error selected graphs around the event raw data only as supporting evidence From your perspective, what would make this kind of report useful instead of just another datalog? For example: What are the top 5 parameters or events you would want highlighted first? Would you trust a learned baseline for that specific vehicle, or would you prefer fixed thresholds? How much false-positive flagging would be acceptable before you stopped looking at the reports? What would a one-page report need to show for an independent shop to take it seriously? For misfire, AFM/DFM, oil pressure, or U-code complaints, what would you want the tool to flag automatically?
