Richard Cheese Posted December 20, 2009 Share Posted December 20, 2009 (edited) done by yourself, an oil change will cost you less than 60 dollars, and thats including changing the fuel filter too. 2 gal of transynd will cost you less than 100 dollars, and more than likely, you dont need to change the inside filter, just the spin on on the bottom of your alli here is a great DIY thread http://www.dieselplace.com/forum/showthread.php?t=198162 Edited December 20, 2009 by Richard Cheese Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The trans spin on filter is recommended every 5-8 thousand miles and the internal filter every 50-60k.

The guy then told me that the internal filter is $100, then the fuilds and external filter brought it to $300 just for the tranny. That link is not working for me Cheese, is it just me?

sanddunesaddict Posted December 20, 2009 Share Posted December 20, 2009 (edited) Didnt work for me either. The new oil thing is true.We dont stock both either. You have to run a new low emission oil in the truck with DPF's and its good for older trucks so we only have the one. It is still a Chevron Delo product.

Richard Cheese Posted December 20, 2009 Share Posted December 20, 2009 (edited) OK, we're going to start with the materials I've used...----------------------------------------------------------------------- For the front end Differential I needed 4 things. 15MM Wrench 13MM Wrench Oil Catch Can/Pan Oil & Oil Pump (3 quarts but it won't use all 3) (I used Amsoil Severe Gear 100% Synthetic 75W90 I got from Heath here on the board) Ok, the GREATEST thing about having a truck I think is even for a big guy like me, i could get under it w/out a creeper and NO JACKS/STANDS! First thing I did was take and clean the garage and then take the trash to the dump, I wanted to get the fluids nice and warm. I then parked it in my level garage. Slid my catch pan underneath and went and got my wrenches. Then i crawled under the truck and here's the pics: This image has been resized. Click this bar to view the full image.

The original image is sized 800x600. This image has been resized. Click this bar to view the full image. The original image is sized 800x600. By 2 pumps, I mean i primed the hose w/ oil up to the end, then I pushed the pump handle down 2 times. Like I said, I dont know if made a difference but I felt better after flushing that stuff out. It smelled burnt and ran VERY Slowly, and was almost sticky, not what you would think of lubrication wise. To finish up the front, put the drain plug back in, tighten snug (don't kill it, there's no need) Make sure you kept the little plastic washer off of the two plugs. Now fill with oil until oil starts to slowly drip/run out of the top, as soon as that happens pull the fill tube out and put the fill plug back in. Tighten snugly and move on to something else. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- On to the differential... I didnt have the right size for the speed sensor, or the drain plug (There's NO need to take out the fill plug if you're going the 5W30 3 quart through the speed sensor hole route). Materials: Adjustable wrench 5W30 Synthetic Oil (I used Amsoil 3000 5W30 100% Synthetic Heavy Duty Diesel Motor Oil I got from Heath here on the board.) First thing I did was unhook the speed sensor wire from the top of the sensor. I then took my adjustable wrench and unscrewed it from the tcase. Once you get it loose it'll unscrew by hand... BECAREFUL with the sensor, as it and it's threads are plastic. So it's also VERY important to NOT overtighten this sensor. Here are the pics: This image has been resized.

The original image is sized 800x600. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Now last but not least... The Rear Differential. Materials: 15MM wrench 3/8" Ratchet 4 Quarts of Oil and Pump (I used Amsoil 100% Synthetic Severe Gear 75w110 I got from Heath here on the board) I wasnt able to get many good pictures, I'm sorry, this whole time it was just me doing this and I didnt want to ruin my camera Here's some pics: This image has been resized.

This image has been resized. Click this bar to view the full image. The original image is sized 800x600. Ok, after you have finished letting it drain and wiped off the end of the drain plug from all the crud. Put the drain plug back in and start pumping oil into the rear differential fill hole (on the pan itself). Put 4 quarts in there and if it's not leaking out (Mine wasn't) put your finger in there, you should feel it almost at the top. So i stopped with 4 quarts and was good. I put the fill plug back on the pan w/ the plastic gasket (and no, the rear diff plug didnt have a plastic gasket, it had a rubber 'hood' around it - so no worries you didn't lose anything). OK guys, thanks for reading this. Please as always correct me if I'm wrong about something! I wanted to apologize for the lack of pics near the end, I had greasy oily hands and a $250 dollar camera, I was scared to death doing this. The camera is fine (I love Canon's!). I was all alone or i would have had my wife help and it might have been easier to follow. Before everyone starts asking why oil in the tcase, Mike L. was made aware of of a problem they were having w/ the dexron they added in at factory fill. They recommended 5W30 motor oil, 3 quarts total added from the speed sensor hole in the case itself. The truck in the thread is mine.... 2007 GMC Sierra Dually, Crew Cab, Duramax & Allison Tranny. This truck is worked, it's my 'tuner toy' (via EFILive) and also a horse trailer hauler and daily driver. I take care of my vehicles but I do tend to drive somewhat aggressive. The vehicle has 29,000 miles on it, I would have done it at a even 30,000 but I knew right now I had the time I hope this helps someone, and feel free to leave me a comment or correct me if I've stated something wrong! - JasonDT2001 sorry bout the no pic transfer.... if you guys signed up as members, it would work dieselplace.com Edited December 20, 2009 by Richard Cheese Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That link is not working for me Cheese, is it just me? thats bullshit...go to wally world and pick up a 2.5 gallon jug of rotella and a filter...take it to an oil change place.. become a member at dieselplace.com. its free, and there is a TON of information and DIY...thats why the link didnt work shell rotella is rated for DPF, and it doesnt cost an arm and a leg...must be that "special" dealership oil they get im not bagging on Hendo Chevy..i have heard great things about them...just the gm dealerships around Bakersfield SUCK BIG HAIRY BALLS!!!! Didnt work for me either. The new oil thing is true.We dont stock both either. You have to run a new low emission oil in the truck with DPF's and its good for older trucks so we only have the one. It is still a Chevron Delo product. over at the dieselplace...the threads i saw about it says it has to be CJ-4 compliant...which rotella already is Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sanddunesaddict Posted December 21, 2009 Share Posted December 21, 2009 (edited) You have to remember Cheese some people do not want to spend the time getting the parts,doing it themselves and making a mess in their driveway and then having to clean up and go get rid of the oil....How much is your time and hassle worth.

BigBlockTank Posted December 22, 2009 Share Posted December 22, 2009 Thanks guys.........i forgot just how lucky I am. I'm retired military and we have a auto hobby shop on almost every base. I just pull up on the rack, drain, change filter, refill, and they get the oil. Parts plus about $8-10 rack time and I'm out. I even installed my wireless air bag system at teh hobby shop. That air bag system works like a naked lady on a horney inmate!!! BBTank Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
