Hey all. Whats involved in a tune up, for the Duramax?

Can anything be done?

The most important thing is the air filter and the fuel filter. Their are no ignition parts to tune like in the old gassers. Just maintenance items.

Change the oil, change the filters, (all of them), Lube the Chassis, Gee, there isn't much else to do. Check all the other fluids, diffs, and t-case.

Treat the truck to a nice detail shop where they hand rub the mink oil into the seats after a good soothing warm bath and wax job. Your truck will love you for it. ):h

I'm not sure the truck should get treated better than me......

Thanx for the replies. Got thinking about it as I was fighting with my winter covers today. Cold and they shrank, as soon as they went out the door.

LOL

Anyhow put my cover on two days ago, now my rattling weatherstripping in back again mainly because of my hood guard. I need to find a better adhesive

I personally like the irridium plugs and I only use ac delco plug wires. Ask your friendly GM counterman for help since they dont seem to have em laid out. Oh....while your under the hood greasing and such.....you might wana top off your fluids like windshield washer and blinker fluid

Blinker Fluid, thats funny lol, If you dont that blinker wont flash as well good tip ratlover...

I used to get the guys at work to hunt for washer fluid for the land rovers we used... no windshields or wipers... *smirk*

better to use synthetic in the cold..

I sell retrofit kits for these so you can use the plugs and wires ratlover mentioned...

diesel don't have spark plug....don't have much to tune....just filters......and drive the Sh*T out of it....

I beleive that at most service intervals, the muffler bearings are to be greased. Do not overlook this part of the tune up or the muffler will not work at it's most efficient levels.

Make sure to change the air in your tires every 5000 miles!

Anything else, guys? :rolleyes:

P.S. Thanx for the replies.

yes....change drivers every 1,000 miles....

Rotate and rebalance your tires and put dielectric grease on all of the seals.

If I hafta change drivers, that means the wife has to drive it..... :eek:

Rotate tires and change the air in them too.

I think I read somewhere it's better to change wives every 1000 miles.:D

Oooppppssss. I'm over due on that one...... :o
