That guy will probably never have any injector trouble. While those of use with 3 fuel filters filtering down to .0001 micron willhttp://www.dieselplace.com/forum/smileys/Disapprove.gif Seems how the cookies crumble I guess OC_DMAX 12-13-2003, 02:47 PM Or he eventually sells the truck and some unsuspecting person buys it. Then the injectors crap out just after 100k miles. After which the stories begin about this POS. dirty old man 12-13-2003, 02:58 PM I can't comment.

As saturated as this filter, it has channeled long ago and the pump and injectors are on their way to an early demise. This filter is certainly one of the worst I have seen for a Duramax. Why someone would want to share this level of neglect is beyond me..?? George chipper 12-13-2003, 11:00 PM I find this hard to believe, I think we are getting our leg pulled. Victory Red 12-13-2003, 11:08 PM question is, I've cut open the OEM I changed around 5k ago(I changed out my OEM @ 13k) and didn't see a spot where it could go into a bypass mode. How could a filter with that many miles still allow fuel to pass? OC_DMAX 12-13-2003, 11:30 PM I don't believe there is a bypass on our DMAX filters. At least not on the three I have cut open. As George mentioned above, channeling occurs whenever a filter is allowed to get clogged beyond the medium’s particle-holding capacity, and there is a sufficient pressure differential across the media to take the filter to the breaking point. Eventually, somewhere, something "gives", and a hole opens up, allowing the the fuel to pass unfiltered. Topgas 12-14-2003, 01:04 PM Looks like mine did at 10,000 miles, for real. God knows where I picked up a bad load of fuel but I did. | ||
