I've got a customer with a 2015 chevy 3500 high country, he tows a 53 ft horse trailer all over the country and the truck has 641k miles. We change the oil every 5k miles, and fuel filters every 10k miles. We changed the the transmission fluid and filters when they have 450k miles on them (way over due but this was when I took over maintaining the truck) the fluid still looked brand new, the filters looked great and the magnet in the pan had almost nothing on it. The only issue this truck has is a mysterious coolant loss, but an oil analysis shows its not an internal issue, its a slight external leak that only happens at certain engine Temps. This truck will get to 1 million miles without a doubt

@CFarmer 2 года назад

That's awesome, hope i get a million out of mine

@@CFarmer There used to be a company called module masters. They repair vehicle electrical modules. I haven’t used them in several years but they repaired the power break module on my sons VW Passat. A new one was almost 2k, and they repaired it for $75 and warrantied the repair for 5 years. He sold it about 7 years later and it was still working great. We removed and shipped the module and had it back in about 7 days. They might be worth a call.

You are a very smart man & I can't figure out why you haven't figured out the solution to the filling up the DEF tank. I have a 2019 & I bought a 2 gallon pump up sprayer cut the end off of the wand got a rubber hose to slide over the end put the other end off the hose into the filler tube to the DEF tank pump it up press the trigger & fill my tank, no mess, no corrosion, took about 10 minutes to put on the 2 gallons. I know in not a smart as you. Try it you might like it, will trade the time to not have the mess. I look forward to all your videos keep them coming

Awesome informative video! Thanks very much, we got a 2019 (converted to right hand drive) in New Zealand for towing purposes, love the truck. Have you ever considered a "Banks Derringer" unit to monitor / control your trucks systems? We've looked hard at them but don't do the miles you do. Thanks again for the informative video Cheers

@CFarmer Год назад

Thank you for the awesome comment. I did look at the i dash before i bought the cts3 but i liked the layout of the cts3 better. With the miles i have on the truck I'm afraid if i change much it'll cause issues but i have heard good things about the derringer. I would be more likely to try it if the truck had less miles

@brucemiller5962 Год назад

@@CFarmer Thanks for the reply! I'm pretty much at two minds about making changes to the truck, we're not big mileage users and for what we're doing I love the power and fuel use ($5:42 USD per gallon) in NZ, but it gets the job done. We tow a double horse trailer and a 20 foot off-road caravan. But I reckon the derringer / iDash could be the business for us. Happy trails

Last week my injector went bad, Now they are saying I need an entire injector harness for $1900. But after watching these videos I am thinking injector connectors.. maybe the dealership is just trying to get over on me.

The dealers will always swear its the injector and say they need to replace the connector while there in there. The connectors I've replaced... I've been told at dealers that you caint just buy the connector....until i give them the part numberfor it.

Just rolled over 230k today. I had to do all 8 injectors and a couple of injector connectors in 2020 around 170k. I’ve got a code for a NOx sensor. So I’ve got that one coming very soon. I love mine overall. I’ve hauled a lot of boats, Mastercraft, Moomba, Supra, Sea Ray, Aviara (demo on gooseneck trailer), Malibu, Axis…and then hotshot with a 40’ gooseneck, loaded down with about 32k gcwr max (almost sucked the air filter through the intake). I’ve had mine since new, and I had the metal shavings in the fuel filter (injectors). It’s pretty strong still to have as many miles as it does. I may have a rear main going out.

@CFarmer 2 года назад

Sounds like you work yours pretty hard too. I love mine too. Wouldn't trade it for a brand new one. I hit 400k last night :)

I replaced the position 1 nox sensor first then around a year later i had a code for the position 2 and replaced it.i would have to go back and watch the video, not remembering metal shavings in my Duramax but there was in my buddies dodge. We replaced the in tank pump on it. My fuel system is completley stock with no issues on the l5P

Thanks so much. I have less than 100k and I've noticed it has started to run rough while it was warming up in cold weather. Sometimes the truck is running in place for 20 minutes. I live in rural Maine and use the hot shot additive ....and I use the same fuel stations like you suggested. Would one of those injection connections be acting up so soon

@CFarmer Год назад

Thank you! From what I've seen, the injector connectors will usually have a pretty aggressive intermittent miss before going out that I've usually noticed while driving. It could be but I'm thinking it may be something different. If i ever feel the miss from a connector it's only a few days later I get a bad mis and a code. I wish i could be more help

Also that dash rattle GM needs to address coming from the heater lines they say zip tie them they are insane. Overall it’s a good truck so recommend leveling these but not lifting them if your going to Tow. I’ll heed your advice on the transmission cooler protection. I’m about to do the first transmission fluid change. Thing I hate is that if the check engine light comes on there’s no more auto start until you clear it!

Great information! I currently do hotshot with a 2020 3500 SRW High Country (didn't buy it for this reason, but it just happened that way) truck has almost 96,000 miles on it now. How often do you do differential fluid and transfer case fluid changes? How many transmission fluid and filter changes have you done? Have you done a coolant flush?

@CFarmer 2 года назад

Thank you! I dropped the ball on coolant flush and haven't done one yet but i try to do internal transmission filter, both differentials and transfer case close to every 100k miles. I've changed them 3 times coming up on 4 and will be changing coolant this time too

Look at the different companies websites and see what their requirements are and call the recruiting departments and ask as many questions as you can then when you think you found a company that will be a good fit apply and it goes from there. Some companies are- Indiana transport, jimbo and co,synergy, wave, horizon and star fleet there are more but that's a few off the top of my head. Google them and see which company seems like the best fit. each company will have different requirements

My check engine light is on and it’s giving code P2A00 which is Nox sensor, I have changed the sensor but 5 miles down the road it comes back on. I was told this cold be a injector issue. Any knowledge or advice will be greatly appreciated.

@CFarmer 2 года назад

I'm not really sure. I had that code along with a couple others and replaced #1 nox sensor and mine was good. When i had to change the #2 sensor i cleared the code and it came right back but after about 50 miles it went away on its own. Any other symptoms or codes?

@@CFarmer No other codes that I have been aware of, also with the check engine light on the truck is driving and sounding just fine.

@@CFarmer my 18 just rolled over 275k. So far at 60k I had dealer replace an injector under warranty. #5. At 110k I had to replace number 7 pigtail. I’m wondering if that’s all they did or needed to do to #5. I always wonder how many ppl take theirs to the stealer and get charged for a injector when all it was is a pigtail they swapped. Only other thing I’ve done in the last 10k miles mine kept throwing the abs light, stabilitrak and traction control off and on randomly over and over. And then I’d get a engine power reduced. If I pulled over and shut the truck off and waited 30 seconds and restarted it then I would have my power back till it decided to throw a fit again. I had the abs codes coming up on the front and code p228c low fuel pressure code. My plug on my rail sensor looked iffy so I bought a new sensor for the rail and a new pigtail to plug into it. So far that go rid of the check engine light and reduced power it kept throwing at me. I also just put on the front since I figured it was time and I kept hearing a thud in the driver front side, I installed new kryptonite hubs from dmaxstore online. To my suprise my hubs were still tight and felt like new so my abs wire in the driver side must of been bad. I still figured it was time to throw some new hubs on. And the thud I was hearing turned out to be the CV axle. I have a 2.5” level on my truck and travel oilfield lease roads daily so they took a toll on them. I found oreillys carry’s extended cv axles for our 18’ model trucks that have level or small lift. They are the only place that has them. So after those new goodies no more abs light and I’m back in business.

@CFarmer Год назад

Good deal! I think a lot of people get charged for injectors when it's just the pigtail. I luckily haven't had any fuel pressure codes to deal with and I'm amazed my hubs are holding up as good as they are. I hope you get miles and miles of good service out of it now
