Are you the original owner?

 

No, I bought it with a run. The original owner is a friend of mine, he brought a new car from the USA. We have never officially sold such cars and are not selling them.

 

The major key to the longevity of these trucks is the scheduled maintenance. If the maintenance has been kept up to date and the truck has not been abused, it will give you many, many miles of service.

I along with many others on this board are firm believers in leaving these trucks in stock form. But, there are other folks that believe doing mods is a good thing as well.

As I too have an LMM, I am a fan of the model. Mine is bone stock and the only things that have failed in 12 years are; TCM, one glow plug and the fuel filter head. At 110k miles, it is just getting broken in, you should have no concerns if the maintenance has been kept up to date and not abused.

 

Thanks for the reply. That is, you think that the EGR and DPF should not be deleted and go further with them? Did you delete them from your account? What is your mileage on LMM? How often do you recommend changing the fuel filter and engine oil?

Основным залогом долговечности этих грузовиков является плановое техническое обслуживание. Если техническое обслуживание проводилось в актуальном состоянии и грузовик не подвергался злоупотреблениям, он прослужит вам много-много миль обслуживания.

Я, как и многие другие участники этого совета, твердо верю в то, что эти грузовики нужно оставить в серийном виде. Но есть и другие люди, которые считают, что делать модификации - это тоже хорошо.

Поскольку у меня тоже есть LMM, я фанат этой модели. У меня костяк, и единственное, что вышло из строя за 12 лет, - это; TCM, одна свеча накаливания и головка топливного фильтра. При пробеге в 110 тысяч миль он просто ломается, и вы не должны беспокоиться о том, что техническое обслуживание проводилось в актуальном состоянии и не использовалось неправильно.

Спасибо за ответ. То есть вы считаете, что не следует удалять EGR и DPF и идти с ними дальше? Вы удалили их из своей учетной записи? Какой у вас пробег на LMM? Как часто вы рекомендуете менять топливный фильтр и моторное масло?

 

Here is a photo of my truck

 

Nice truck! Does Russia have ULSD ( Ultra Low Sulfur Diesel) fuel?

 

In Russia, there is a fuel with a low sulfur content. But it seems to me that the requirements for the content of sulfur are still not as strict as yours.

 

I haven't deleted anything from the truck.

My intown mileage is around 13 MPG, 18 MPG highway, 10 MPG towing a 15k fifth wheel camper.

 

What is the total mileage on your truck? How often do you change the engine oil and fuel filter?

 

My LMM had 230,000 miles on it before I had any issues with the emissions equipment. I traded it in at 260,000 miles.

I changed the fuel filter every 7000 to 10000 miles.

I changed the oil on the same interval.

 

привет ты где в россии?

My LMM has 185k miles, the mileage does not concern me. My concern would be parts availability, but obviously we do not know the laws in Russia for modification of vehicles. It looks like you're in a more rural area, I don't think I'd want to drive a dual rear wheel vehicle or even a single rear wheel truck through any city center in Russia. If deleting is legal in your country, you'll need to find a tuner that can sell to you in your country, most likely they would be located in Canada or New Zealand. I speculate that deleting is not a big deal like it is in the USA.

I live in the country, I use the car on the highway. We have only a few such cars, very rare. Spare parts are mostly custom made from the USA. I usually take it on eBay or rockauto, these stores have delivery to Russia. I do not want to delete the EGR and DPF, but I want to be sure that these systems will not harm my car in the future.

 

Guys, tell me, what is the load capacity in the body and the maximum towing weight of the trailer according to the manual for the Chevy Silverado 3500HD 2007 (Duramax + Allison)?

 

From - 2007 Chevrolet Silverado 3500 - LTZ 4x4 HD Crew Cab Dual Rear Wheel Specifications | Autobytel.com
Payload - 4706 lbs / 2134.6 kg
Towing - 9100 lbs / 4127.7 kg (I think 5th wheel or gooseneck towing will be higher)

I know people who tow 15k lbs 5th wheel trailers (6803.9 kg). The key is to make sure you don't exceed the axle weight rating which will be impacted by tongue weight.

I've edited this post a few times now because I'm confused about the truck's model year (the post I'm quoting says 2007 but the thread title says 2008). It's either a 2007.5 or a 2008; in either case, it's an LMM and so the 2007 (LBZ) towing capacity numbers are not relevant.

According to this PDF the conventional towing capacity is 13,000 lbs. and FW/GN is 16,500 lbs. That sounds more like what I'd expect for a one-ton truck from that era.

What are you trying to tow?

 

If you don’t have ultra low sulfur diesel, it will plug up the DPF fairly quickly. Doing deletes let’s you run basically any oil that will inject into the cylinder. I would check on the sulfur content and make a decision from there, pretty sure you wouldn’t want to get left stranded especially with the parts situation.

 

Hey, guys. Tell me, on which sites you can view and buy external tuning for the Chevy Silverado 3500HD 2008?

 

Your situation will be different since you are in Russia, I would look at Canadian companies like Motor Ops if you plan to remove emissions equipment due to different rules. If you want emissions present tuning, Duramax Tuner (DuramaxTuner.com) would be a good option.


Be careful buying tunes as they are not all created equally and a bad tune will likely feel great until something breaks, even then you may not know the tune caused premature failure.
