    Fuel Filter Change

    I have changed mine at about 50% recommended interval, cheap filter, easy to change, better than waiting and contaminating pump/injectors, bleed system built-in. no bleed is needed.

    Not feeling good about the PF66 filter

    So far I have used Pf66, UPF66Gold, and the WIX WL10351 , from the outside you can feel the weight differences in the UPF and the WIX over the pf66 for sure and the quality of the rubber seal is thicker more robust, waiting for a bit more to send oil analyst with the Wix filter to compare from...

    Not feeling good about the PF66 filter

    The UPF66R Gold quality for sure can tell soon as you pick it up, twice the weight, but I never cut one open yet

    Turbo Trouble

    I also don't let them cool most people do not drive passenger car turbos like big rig or performance turbos with time out built-in. I have seen many passenger vehicles diesel with well over 200,000 miles and they also don't let turbos cool down, but that's not to say that's not the perfect way...

    Extended crank but no start issue

    Yes, mine seems fixed also. But I would love to know what was updated to create the fix, much more difficult now as I no longer work for a GM dealer. If anyone knows what the re-flash addressed please share it. Thanks, rbdjr

    Engine Oil Analisis results?

    My concern with the high iron count is this was 3rd oil change in 9000 miles, (yes overkill for sure)the first change at 1000 miles used a DELCO UPF66R Gold filter and 7 quarts GM Dexos D 0w-20 oil. 2nd change at 5000 miles, used DELCO UPF66R Gold oil filter and 7 quarts GM DEXOS D 0W-20. 3rd...

    General Observation..

    All GM engines since the 4.2 have been built on the platform of 150,000 miles min, that has not been the case though. I agree the 4.2 good engine as long as you kept the oil changed, as with most, the 4.2 downfall was the MPG, and the reason it was dropped from the lineup

    Mobil 1 oil

    I think Amsoil meets all GM specs for Dexos D, But they won't pay GM licensing fee. But it does meet all the required specs.
