(L5P REVIEW) 2020 Duramax YOU DO NOT WANT TO MISS THIS! NOT CLICKBAIT 

I realize this is almost a year ago you commented but I've been thinking of purchasing either a 3.0 mini duramax 4x4 ( more so because of the fuel mileage they claim to get ) or the 6.6 in a single wheel 2500/3500 4x4. I am curious what your thoughts are with why your are having fantastic luck with 4 different units of two L5P vintages other then the dpf clogging ( and so far the way things are here a delete in Canada would take care of that ! ), yet this person and expect he isn't the only one that is having some major fuel system problems. I wouldn't have to get a diesel as I could get a guzzling gas job for what I mostly do with a pickup but it is tempting .. other then the completely insane prices of pickups period.

@@charlesb4267 these heavy duty trucks are designed for heavy duty work. Work the trucks as designed and no issues. Ride around stop and go and mainly just use it for riding around then all sorts of issues will appear. But using it the same way you would use a Honda ridge line to do is not using the truck as it was designed to do

@@AdventureMan-kx3dr I happen to farm so obviously am around diesel engines every where I turn with equipment as well as highway tractors and like you say diesels are not happy when they are puttered around short distances such as if one lives in a small town and its all short drives. My current truck which is a gas and its of a vintage where you better not sneeze or the transmission will fail nor does it have any power, I'd like something that can pull loads easily and also empty get decent fuel mileage as well. Its an hour drive to town for parts so I don't do much in the way of short runs, the old farm trucks do that duty around the farm. There are a LOT of diesel trucks up in this area, we have a major oilfield presence in northern Alberta and a lot of farmers get diesel pickups which is of no surprise either. I am surprised this GM owner given the same type of use as your trucks had all these problems but I have to wonder if that pump was the cause of all the injector replacements and they never figured it out until it cratered, I guess one will never know that answer. Believe me I go around in circles with what to choose in the way of gas or diesel and that matter Ford or GM ( I can't quite get myself to even walk into a Dodge dealership ). There is something that can't help but stick in the back of my mind and that is my brother had bought a brand new 1980 chev half ton with the lovely 350 olds diesel, its 43 years later and he still will comment on that horrid decision, he finally pretty much gave the pickup away just a few years later with low miles on it before it decided to blow up. Ironically years later he bought and still owns a 2006 F350 dually with you guessed it, the 6.0 diesel and he only uses it during the summer with a truck mounted camper and pulling a smaller TJ jeep behind. He initially had some problems as per the truck quitting and having it towed and was an oil pressure sensor for the high pressure fuel system but then the big one ... the EGR failed and luckily noticed the truck was trailing white so towed to a shop and they did the EGR delete and the fancy head stud deal and the engine has been ok since. He likes the truck and the diesel power but always that nagging feeling from what had happened !. Now everything, gas or diesel is a maze of complexity from one end to the other of vehicles.

Dually ??

I've got a 2021 GMC 2500HD with this motor. 11K miles on it and I haven't had any issues with it at all.

@@nathanvoit5235 She still doing good?

I think they have changed somethings on 2020 that has caused a lot of issues.

Still holding up good?

@@haddonsmith345 yes doing great 99,000

Yea you not gonna have any problems if you only go to the grocery store with it put it to work and see what happens

Funny you said that. I got my first powerstroke yesterday.

If the same thing that happened to this gentleman would happen to you, how would you feel. If 1 out of 10'000 trucks has this problem it could be a problem with tooling in the assembly line. Either way GM is making tons of profit (especially when their vehicles are made in Mexico). They are responsible and can afford replacement of the truck or the engine for this man. I have been on the market for a 3500 and with all the stories I keep seeing on the internet about the problems people are having with GM, I've decided never to own one. Rams are even worst. Not a single Ram truck is made in America. FCA can Ram their trucks right up their ass (metaphorically speaking anyway). GM and FCA took bailout money and till this day, they still owe us money.

No they don't Toyota

They owe us nothing gm is far superior over ram obviously and ill say ford as well by far these two companies are worthless in reliability/longevity take it from someone who works on all brands at an independent shop for a living

@@roadrunnergtx68 They’re made in Flint

@@garysarratt1 If the first digit is a #1 it's made in USA, second digit is #2 it's made in Canada, third digit is #3 it's made in Mexico. You're wrong.

Yes sir the 2020 has had some issues. I’m seeing about everything 100 trucks someone has had issues with injectors. I will have a follow up video coming soon ! Thank you for commenting. I’ve been all over Canada , and some very Beautiful places there.

Still doing good?

Mines a 19 with 73k no injector issues yet

That’s SAD BROTHER WOW

Now that sounds like delivery carrier damage.

Those trucks are so so ugly

How's it holding up mine has 104k no issues. Do you run bio diesel?

It still holding up good?

I have new video coming I went with Ford best decision I’ve made

How is the Ford holding up.

Still holding up good?

How's your chevy holding up?

me too.. this guy has me scared with no warranty (12 injectors?)

With EPA going after the tuners and performance parts companies its becoming more and more expensive to delete. Kinda sad when you have to spend 10k+ on a 80k truck to make it run right and hope you will not get caught. Makes bulletproofing 6.0 seem like a reasonable investment.

Still holding up good?

@@haddonsmith345 oh yeah 37k and counting

@@chriskozkoski3879 Great man, hope mine holds up well

I had a 18 ram 2500 cummins. Had some weird issue with “multi cylinder misfire”. I asked the dealer about it when they had it 4-5 times same issue and over 2 weeks. The dealer said I could trade in or Ram “might” give me whats it’s worth after depreciation. This was the #2 guy at the dealership mind you, and not a small one at that! I laughed and found a lemon law attorney. He looked it over and went to war with it. We put almost 50k miles on the that truck. It was amazing minus the constant engine light issue btw, and Ram bought it back for full price. The only issue I will say I had with them after that was that the truck went to auction in MI and someone bought it from that dealership. Check the state rules if you buy used!

Why even mention u have 4600 miles??????? You're not even due for the 1st oil change yet! Thats way to low of mileage to even assume anything

@@ChrisSmith-ig9jq wow necro post much? That was 2 months ago, I'm up to almost 8000 now and still no issues with the truck.

What is it at now?

I agree with you on Custumer service! The replaced the pump all 8 injectors and fuel rails !! Flush the system and still throwing injectors after all this was done. I’ve own dodge and Chevy I figured I’d give Ford a try. I contacted the headquarters of GM and got a run around from hell and back. I’m going to make updated video that will be posted week or so kinda give a rundown what has completely has been done. So keep eye out. Thanks for comment and hit that Subscribe button for me.

@@flippinghillbillies5856 hey bud real sorry about your experience, 6.7 powerstrokes are suppose to be pretty bulletproof now 11-13 had problems with a ceramic bearing in the turbo,but they fixed it with a steel bearing. I’m curious to the new 10 speeds. If you don’t want to take the risk get the 6.7 with the 6r140

worked 5 years at a Dealership, they're all privately owned franchises, but one time Ford did send an Engineer to the dealership to go for a ride with a customer trying to do a buy-back due to a vibration. This customer had spent months calling Ford and bitching to our service dept before the Engineer finally came out.. sadly in the end the Engineer claimed they could not feel the vibration on the test drive... remember the customer getting very angry and threatening, which really ended up hurting the customer in the end... Ford never bought it back.

I got about 210,000 miles on my LML stock cp4 pump. I add hotshot to every single fillup. Has some lubricity in it to help with the low sulfur content in diesel fuel like 5-15 PPM and it use to be like 500 PPM years ago. The sulfur is the lubricant in diesel fuel

I’m not saying you’re wrong because I don’t know but I would assume diesel oil being made from the same thing that oil comes from that the lubricity comes from petroleum.

I have a 21 with 12k on it solid .....

@@06dirtyblack Still doing good?

I tried the hotshot secret That’s supposed to be for the CP4 pumps. But l5p doesn’t have cp4 pumps far as I know. But it didn’t help at all

This dude hot shots he probably ran trash diesel to many times . My 2020 duramax hasn't had any issues

No sir filter got changed every 6500 miles. My two extra tanks have their own filter also. I’m not the only with this problem. I’m glad you have good service out of yours. Put something heavy behind that everyday and let me know then.

Run like hell nonya, don’t buy a Chevy intel they get their problems fixed

@@mattd19902010 this man feeds his family with his truck. Are you really that ignorant to think he would run garbage fuel?

@@lwilde0422 do you know what's in the fuel your pumping I bet you don't

most of the fuel fed to the *high pressure pump* and injectors is returned to the tank on diesel engines. So if the high pressure pump starts to come apart it will send metal back to the tank, then obviously refed to the fuel supply where the fuel filter will capture it.

Fuel return silly

@@All-Miles-Matter hey, I never said I was the brightest crayon in the box...

Hey man how’s your new duramax holding up? everything still running solid?

@@haddonsmith345 My truck still holding up. Got the steering issue fixed st the dealer a month ago. Why?

Agreed, every manufacturer has a different generation of engine, and product in their lifecycle...Never get the first generation of anything...lol

I totally agree with you. Some people don’t understand that.

I’m happy for you glad to hear that!!

I own a 2022 and I've had zero problems after 20K miles. It's obvious this guy got a lemon. He had recourse, but he didn't do the one thing he needed to do - threaten the dealer with legal action. Also, it's not wise to base your buying decisions based on one RU-vid video. Many owners like me have had zero problems.

@@TastyBananaFatch obviously not wise to base it if one but it’s not the only one. I have 2 friends and a co worker who have had this same problem. One before and two after. Glad that yours is working out great. It’s more of a not having time to deal with knows issues.

@@marko9138 That's cool, I get it. My rig has been nothing short of solid as a rock. But, keep in mind that 2023 is the last year of this generation of Silverados (2024 is a new design). So, they seem to have worked out all the bugs by 2022/2023. I've taken it off-roading in the desert and beach, and hauled all sorts of silly-heavy loads. Not one hiccup! FYI, Fords are prone to the same issues, you just may not have heard about them (youtube has a lot of videos on the powerstroke engine problems). Anyhow, I hope you enjoy whatever you decide to buy :)

Do you use a good bypass oil filter to get those long change intervals? FS2000 comes to mind but I haven't researched them for like 10 years.

@@SGaryNinja Frantz

In the filter housing. Pump failure and I lost 5k on trade. The day I took it trade it in Transmasson started acting up.

It's showing up in the filter basket, brass shavings. Not sure if it's from high pressure pump or lift pump but there is a gm tsb for metal in the basket.
