I am just in the process of trading in my 2500hd 6.0 gasser crewcab in for a 3500 crewcab dually with LLY, it has approx 46000miles (74000km).
I hear there are the odd overheating issues but I dont think it will affect me, as I will only haul max of 10000lbs for shorter distances with no severe grades....and no super hot temperatures on Vancouver Island, any longer trips I will more than likely only have a 2500lb slide in camper, and possibly a couple ATVS on the trailer

I am going to do a full service on it, oil change, trans oil change, diffs, transfer case....ETC

Any recommended brands for fuel filter (wix/ac delco)

I was going to get the allison trans filter

Thanks for any info

I am partial to Fleet Guard filters, and if you find your local cummins dealer, I believe they own Fleet Guard, and their price will be way lower then AC Delco.

what a change :eek::eek: ENJOY!!!!

Where on Vancouver Island are you? I'm in the Alberni Valley. If you want, PM me and I can tell you the best place to get your filters and oils on the island.

Oh btw, I run an LLY also. Knocking on wood I've never had a problem with it other than self induced ones. Tows nice, I'm hauling my "Ontario" car home tonight from Victoria.

Awesome, u will love it...just a lil' advice on a Dually (assuming it's ur first)...U need some weight in the bed if u r going to use it everyday, I have alot of weight in tools so i am good...if u r empty in the bed, try and throw like 300ish pounds (or a truck cap helps alot...about 300 lbs...got one to keep my tools safe and the truck looks awesome) in the bed, plywood works great...dually's bounce un-loaded, gotta put some weight on the springs and they ride like a 'Caddy bro. Good luck w/ it.
