Awesome channel sir!! New subscriber here!! What I have done for years( I love maintenance) about 200 miles before an oil change,I dump a full can of Seafoam in the crankcase and drive! I have even dumped 1 quart of diesel in the crankcase and started the truck for 10 minutes and let it do its internally scrubbing as well!! I had an 02 LB7 Duramax that I did injectors on and took pics of underneath the valve covers and couldn't believe it!! Sent those pics to Seafoam and it was featured on there website/magazine/brochure something like that..and that truck had like 330,000ish miles on it. If you don't already have one on your oil pan,install a Fumoto valve. One of the first things I do when I buy a Duramax. I have them on both my 17 L5P and my 05 LLY. I change the oil,oil filter,fuel filter,trans spin on filter every 4,000 to 5,000 miles. Just changed every fluid in my L5P last weekend. Front diff,power steering fluid,pushed new brake fluid thru all the lines,t-case,trans,rear diff,oil,oil filter,fuel filter,drained coolant,new surge tank,new thermostats,drained washer fluid tank. Other thing I put on these trucks,is from XDP is a coolant drain.If you haven't in awhile,spray the m.a.f sensor with m.a.f sensor cleaner. Awesome channel,nice truck!! Have a great day sir!!

My 6.4 has been deleted for bout a year now . I change the oil every 3000 miles and my oil has been as clean as the day I change it 👍🏼 it’s pushing 300k on it now deleted at 172k . Firm believer.

I live in a rural area and I see lots of 6.4's still going strong. Lot of F-450's and F-550's, so you know they're worked hard . Those trucks are at least 12 years old now. I've always thought the 6.4's are the best looking Super Duty body style as well.

Spot on! Maintenance is everything. Still rock a 97 and 02 7.3 powerstrokes and oil is almost as clean as it was new after 5000 miles, it’s so clean it’s almost hard to see on the dip stick. Both trucks have over 200k. Was shopping for a newer truck but after seeing all the issues with these def/emissions trucks I’m just going to keep my No emissions trucks.

Smart move. Deleting the emissions is gonna be next to impossible soon. The older trucks are gonna be more valuable

Very cool!!! My trucks and wife's cars are 100% Amsoil. 100% synthetic. I can prolong my oil changes with Blackstone and very good filters and using a bypass filter system for my 6.7 ram and 5.9 Frumings. 90 F250 with a 93 5.9 Cummings.

My pops had a 91 F-250 when I was growing up. Loved that truck, absolute beast. Had the 460 in it, so it never passed a gas station. Dropping a 12 valve in is the way to go!

Dude that’s awesome! I run Rotella T5 in my LMM and it’s all stock and I’ve been thinking about getting an H&S tuner for the same reasons. If you don’t me asking what kind of tuner did you get? Oh and I change my oil at 5k and don’t rely on the truck telling me when to change it.
@heldtheflashlightfordad6728

I run the same oil as you, Rotella T5 15w40. I was running T6 back when it was affordable, but T5 is plenty good. I have the H&S tuner set to the 60 Hp tow tune. I've never even tried the 2 other levels. Never had a single issue, no engine lights, nothing. Before the delete, I would go into limp mode every once in a while, for no reason at all. Just cruising along pulling a load and bam "reduced engine power" no rhyme or reason. Maybe my dpf was getting old, don't really know. I'd reset the truck and she'd be fine. Now that hasn't happened even once.

What about oil changes on a new gas truck 7.3 v8 When should you do an oil change for the first time? I was thinking 3k miles and then every 5k after that. Currently not towing anything so no loads
@heldtheflashlightfordad6728
2 жыл бұрын
If it were me I'd probably do the first oil change sooner, maybe 1500 miles. I used to have an F150 that called for 5w20 and I changed it every 3500 miles. By the way, I've heard that new 7.3 is a really great engine

Do you recommend full synthetic if your doing your oil change every 3-5k miles? Or can you go conventional stick to 3k miles per change?
@heldtheflashlightfordad6728
Жыл бұрын
I'm confident conventional oil can go 5k miles, no problem. I use Rotella T 15/40 Synthetic Blend for both my diesels. Full Synthetic has gotten out of my price range.
