It's a miracle. Someone who took care of their vehicle.
Was about to say this too😂doesn't matter if it's a Chevy ford or diesel I'm sure any truck or car could run endlessly if the maintenance is top tier or just good enough.
It's all highway miles... That is a key distinction
@@calholli Yea, stop and go and startups is what kills them.
I have 500 thousand on my 2016 F350 without any additives. This guy said he changed fuel filter every oil change I do every other .
Most trucks last you just hear the bad stories, and remember this is a commercial. They have to scare you to get you to buy
@zoultronzoultron9723 The 6.7 has turned out to be a durable powerplant. But I've seen too many examples over the years of owners calling things junk when they didn't take care of it.
Thank you for the mentioning our company and showing our customers success from using our bypass filter, fuel additive and oil for almost 900k miles.
Which fuel additive was he using?
I work in diesel injection. That man knows the secret. Prevention is key. Running your machine is key. These CP4's and even CP3's are tough, simple pumps.
Strong & simple they are but it only takes a little dirty\wet fuel to grenade one causing the dreaded contaminated fuel system replacement at $10k+. The Stanadyne DCR pump is so much safer and more durable for a $2k pricetag it's the best [fuel system]insurance you can buy for 6.7's!
@tdotw77 that's the bane of a common rail system. I often get injectors wrapped in dirty rags to test out. Pumps without caps full of dirt and grime. I tell my clients that a single grain of sand can ruin an injector and then cause all sorts of problems.
@@fink94 I don't think people realize how super sensitive they are to any kind of dirt or contamination. That's why there's 2 filters and several screens inline on the supply system, it's not like your old mechanical tractor that wasn't as hyper sensitive. 👍🏻
@tdotw77 for sure. I do Rossa Master, DB's and DPA pumps for old tractors and whatnot. These pumps would run with gravel in them! Some are from the early 60's and they're easily rebuilt to this day (the hydraulic head does wear out though)
@@fink94 they still use the lucas dpa pumps today. and they came out in the 50s
So to summarize:
- Insane Diesel bypass oil filter
- Motorcraft main filter
- Changes fuel filter every oil change
- Lorenzo’s Oil fuel additive and Motorcraft oil
- 170 gallon fuel tank
- Uses the semi high flow pumps at truck stops
Exactly what I was looking for in the comments. Thanks!
Changes the fuel filter with every oil change? Dayumm
@@pcnetworx1 yeah though he says that he can easily go 15k miles between oil changes with the bypass filter. The oil is completely clean.
@conduit242 The oil going through a bypass filter is clean, per se, but can only remove particles down to 2 microns, which is much better than the 35 microns on avg that main oil filters can remove. But the oil is not perfectly clean and in fact is about as black as the oil that doesn't go through a bypass filter system.
I've been running an Amsoil Oil Bypass sustem in my 6.0l and 6.7l since '09 and swear by them, but I'd never say my oil is perfectly clean.
Just saying
Lorenzo’s oil fuel additive
It's also good to note that doing long stretches of highway driving where the motor is staying at a relatively constant rpm, this guy isn't abusing it, but still uses it. Lots of factors here that help work to his advantage.
Bingo
Yep, most engine wear is on cold startups. Sounds like he never really shut it off much, and had heat generally at a constant temperature. The crazy part is how little soot there was when the engine was tore down. That's a lot of idle time with stock egr. Also the shape of that engine, if he had just replaced those lifters he could have gone for at least another 500k with that motor.
I think the #1 killer of the CP4 is fuel temps. The fuel tank is also the cooler. When operators run their tank(s) low, and since these are all "return" systems, the hot fuel is unable to maintain film strength. With the extra fuel he carried on this truck it's unlikely the tank was ever ran down to this critical level where the CP4 suffered insufficient lubrication. Wish more operators were like this man and took great care of their equipment. Kudos to him for proving it can be done!
That's a really interesting insight!
great point
I think it's the fact that nothing prevents the lifter from rotating 90 degrees and grinding itself to death.
Same for gasoline fuel injected engines. Avoid running the fuel tank low.
That's interesting. I'm active in the tdi 3.0 community. I think other big issues are improper fuel filter changes. introducing air into the lines. or water in the fuel.
This 6.7 owner is absolutely correct. These 6.7s need ran everyday. I had back surgery and was down for 4 months. When I was finally able to drive my 37,000 mile 6.7, after 4 months, it had no boost. The turbo vanes were froze solid. The idler and tensioner pulleys were so rusty it threw the serpentine belt off instantly. After fixing all of that, it still had low power. After removing the fuel filters, the bio in the diesel had turned to slime. I had always changed my oil and fuel filters every 5000 miles, with fuel additives, before all of this happened but it didn’t do a lick of good. I have since remote started my 6.7, three times daily when I’m not using it. I’ve had no issues since.
I had a similar problem recently I usually run my truck every day religiously for work and what not and I had an injury and didn't drive it for a week and as soon as I got back in I had all sorts of issues shit sucks. But I'm doing the same thing now even if I have days I don't need the truck I'm running it regardless
Can you imagine how bad those trucks sitting in the race track parking lots since COVID chip issues
I let my 2005 Ram diesel truck sit for 3 months, no problem except batteries needed charging. I have 2 extra filters in the fuel system and run a Baldwin in the oem housing. I don't have variable vane turbo.
Remember the old Fram "Pay me now, or pay me later" ads on TV? Back in the late '70's I had the air-cooled Suzuki GS 1000 that I had hot rodded to within an inch of its life. That was severe duty, to understate things. Changed oil every 5,000 KM which is about every 3,000 miles. Cheap care. It also makes your stress levels drop.
At work, we have a 2022 F350. That has 450k miles on it, and it runs and drives just as great as any of the newer trucks we have, and he's never replaced anything on it
what line of work has to drive 150kmiles yearly?
@uv6er oilfield hotshot driving. Our owner buys new trucks every 2 to 3 years but he refuses to get rid of that one.
@@uv6er hot shotting, deliveries, auto-transport, or camper transport like Indiana transporters for a lot of pull-behind campers or goosenecks. quite a few cases take these things non-stop daily for driving with minimal idle hours or downtime if they have 2 drivers in the truck
Anymore it seems like the guys who actually NEED a diesel have way better luck than those that don’t. These aren’t daily drivers.
A 3 year old truck is not considered a newer truck?
Doesn't surprise me. I'm a chief engineer and I've seen plenty of injection pumps last 200k + hours, We centrafuge all our fuel plus racors and final filters. Also centrafuge our lube oil. . These are 500k dollar plus engines so it really pays to be careful. They'll run a long time if you give them clean fuel and oil. And check your coolant with test strips
Preventive Maintenance. Yes sir.
What engines are you referring to ? What are they powering ?
@@65turbocoupe mtu 4000s powering a fishing boat.
What kind of test strips are you talking about? Are they sold off the shelf?
That’s what happens when you use insane diesel bypass filter

A lot of problems with diesels started when they removed the sulfur and went to ultra low sulfur diesel years ago, using the fuel additive for lubrication is key to preventing wear of injector pumps and seals.
On new and old diesels with the low sulfur fuels we have makes fuel additive a must!
@@ShadowOppsRC Diesel fuel sold within the US is required, technically, to meet an ASTM standard, D975, which as of 2005 includes a lubricity component
Thats why I put 2-Stroke Oil in my Diesel, to lubricate the Pump
I just wanted to say, bravo for sharing this video proving what a lot of us, in the start it let it run and idle for hours camp have been saying for years!! The man almost never shuts it off. Sleeps all night long with it "idling". I also mentioned increasing fuel filtration & additives in my past comment's. Diesel fuel is dirty, a fass fuel system will polish your fuel. This i suspect will help with emissions as well
This is the best advice. Not the additives but the fuel filters. The fuel filters are the problem. This Guy gets that💪👍
Exactly, change fuel filter's with oil srvce. Goes a long way.
I'll run the additives too, thanks though.
Additives can make a huge difference. I ran additives in my diesel and made the engine run way nicer. The off boost - boost transition was much improved. Just saying the right additives can make a great difference.
Having the parts ceramic plated is the real key with clean fuel and lubricant.
If you ask me that's the real deal... It's all about reducing fiction
I use neutra by Schaeffer oil. The truck seems to like it
What he said about diesels needing to be ran everyday is correct. But how long they run is important to
I like that you gave away a bunch of bikes to different people instead of 1 expensive bike
GOOD VIDEO!!!
not even a diesel guy, but i love the way they teach! thank you for you content!
This customer seems to be very on top of maintenance and seems to be pretty smart.
He used insane diesel bypass filter and Lorenzo’s oil fuel additive
Same pump that was on my 2017 VW Passat 2.0 BiTDI 240bhp. It was still ok after 200,000 miles when i sold it. No additives and fuel filter changed every 40k.
The cp4 in the VW that everybody is running in Europe is the baba yaga. It causes a desaster when that fail. And it fails alot here from what i know. Alot of people makes the conversion to cp3 pump wich is much much realiable.
@ Yes it causes a disaster if they fail but in Europe it’s not really an issue or that common. Diesel in europe is better quality than in the usa.
40k? That's way too long.
@@louiewatson9389possibly but that’s what VW recommended. Never had any failure to any pump. I have driven diesels for 2.5 million miles.
Wow the .00001% of a man that was smart and worked it hard and his cp4 wtf 😂. This guy just proved why gas companies should add those additives the common person just doesnt.😅
Fuel companies add additives they just don’t use the good ones
The EPA will not let them. When you add it your truck is running dirty. I use ATF.
The process of taking the sulfur out of the fuel during refining strips the fuel of the lubrication it has.
Well they do it in Europe lol don't see the issue but more planned obsolescence
@@MuraBike
According to Bosch, the European fuel has more lubricity, different fuel standard, I believe they allow more sulfur in theirs.
We have 300 6.7 fords and the only CP4s we’ve lost are the ones that got DEF or gasoline in the fuel. We do Ford MotorCraft fuel filters every 10,000 miles. CP4s only fail when they get contaminated fuel. I think in the last 5 years we’ve only replaced 3 CP4s.
Any "snake oil" fuel additives used in the fleet?
Preventative maintenance is always key
The CP4 also benefits from the addition of a lift pump, putting positive pressure at the CP4 pump inlet, as well as the additional filtering.
I've ran one in 2015 Duramax for 11 years. I've also been using Opti-Lube XPD every tank for lubrication.
I've heard his is the same as Opti-Lube, even the containers look the same.
HOT Shots is the only one I've seen with higher lubricity as Opti-Lube. Check out the tests by Project Farm and The Motor Oil Geek from a few weeks back.
@KadeJordan-s3y yeah, that Lorenzo's additive is not the same as Opti-Lube. It must have been a different brand.
@KadeJordan-s3y been on the Opti-Lube XPD and XL for 12 years, it seems to work well. I'll keep running it.
Dealer tech here, I’ve replaced countless CP4 pumps on 6.7 Cummins under recall Y78 and I’ve only ever seen maybe 3 or 4 catastrophic failures that required new injectors and cleaning the tank out
Presumably you changed those CP4s BEFORE they started to disintegrate and contaminate the system downstream. It would be crazy to ignore contamination.
@@KevinMaxwell-o3t Filters filter out all those damaged bits. I can see a pump in the tank might have a problem, but it also has a sock filter. Injectors is a who knows situation, a bit of metal in them is bad news. And what if they stay jacked open and dribble fuel all the time, means a destroyed engine.
I do think the diesel injectors have a tiny screen filter like all gasoline injectors?
From South Africa 🇿🇦, so glad RUclips popped up this page,boss is super humble and knowledgeable and the team,seems like a fake workplace but its real. Respect to the quality company,team,videos 👏😎👌
I seriously believe in early maintenance. I have a 2010 f150 4.6 3v with 522000 km on the clock and I change my oil every 10k, trans case and diffs every 100k and only use ford filters and synthetic oils. Runs like new still
My 2011 chevy 6.6L I changed the oil every 10-15k km. Ran it until 350k km and sold it. Saw it running still on the road 3 yrs later. Now have an F350 6.7L and change the oil every 10k km. I add Archoil stiction additive and always add fuel additives.
you prolly still wont get that many out of the ford!! sad but true
Any deleted diesel with moderate to good maintenance should go 400,000 miles,, except most CP4 deals . I woulda never dreamed this guy could get 892k miles outa that one tho
@@ronmoore3987 deleting is hard in CO now. damn emmisions are everywhere. Egr kills these engine. deleted is a whole different story but really hard to do on anything passed 16 in colorado. Nobody wants the work
@@mcq31mcYou're "prolly" wrong, sad but true
Which fuel additives do you use?
I run a synthetic two cycle oil to mine once a week not super heavy but it's paid off along with the Extreme diesel additive
Yes he seems to be the most honest mechanic I have seen . I will be bringing all my truck mechanic work to him ,,, I live in colorado I n colorado springs
Wow, what fuel additives were used, and which oil brand was used?
Motorcraft brand and docs diesel fuel additive
Guarantee it was Ams, probably why they didn't say what it was
@@Jimmy-fi4htThe problem is guys that use Ams think they can change it every 10k miles, when it completely negates the benefits of it when you do that. The lubricity of any oil significantly reduces after 5k miles. Change it when it gets black.
Change when it gets black? That’s after start up
Archoil probably
I have 244,000 miles on my 2011 6.7 Ram. Just replaced the turbo for the first time, but all engine and drivetrain components are still original stock, with the exception of having it deleted at 125,000.
I change fuel, oil and air filters and oil at 5-8k miles religiously. I’ve always expected trans issues, but I’ve never serviced it once to date and is still running strong.
I'm in europe, and the fact that we don't have anywhere near the problems you have in the US with these pumps, makes me pretty confident you have something going on with your fuel.
And the fact that this guy didn't have problems could be explained by the fact that he never let the car sit, because if you have water in the fuel (TINY droplets) letting it sit would allow it to make micro pitting in the pump cam and roller causing it to fail rather quickly, but driving it daily would prevent the pitting from ever occurring.
The main difference from the CP1 pumps that doesn't seem to have this issue, is that there is a teflon lining on the rotor that rides the cam, this would handle pitting more gracefully as it isn't metal on metal like the CP4.
CP1 and CP3 uses the same cam design.
It’s pretty widely known at this point that american diesel and fuel in general has historically been of poor quality.
The cp4 would also occasionslly fail in the tdi engines in the Us, and from what i know/heard atleast, it’s not a common failure for tdi engines in central europe.
Also, fun fact, fuel quality is also the reason many manufacturers that sell cars in europe are able to recommend ”crazy” oil change intervals of 20.000 miles using low saps oil, while in the Us, those same manufacturers put the roof at 10.000 miles usually.
I would say the CP4 problem is well known in Europe too. Anyway, I add a little 2-stroke oil at every tank stop. Hope my BMW N57 will last for a long time 🙂
You guys also take care of your vehicles and have inspection and maintenance requirements from governments. People don't take care of anything here, themselves included.
@@aaron___6014 not sure how it is in the rest of europe, but i would say people (atleast here in Sweden) take care of their cars pretty badly, atleast the ones i know. 100.000 is usually done per schedule, but anything after… i know several friends that have done, or regularly do 25.000-40.000mile/3-5 years on their oil because they don’t care, ignore leaks, weird sounds, missfires etc. The only thing inspections forces you to take care of is the suspension, rust, emissions, lights pretty much, like the bare minimum. They can’t force you to change coolant or force you to investigate why your engine knocks etc.
New Ram owner here. I want to know everything this guy does to maintain his truck? I’ll follow his lead down the road.
Dave, could you do a video about this ??
With recommendations on oil, filters, fuel additive and filters, ect. I service my cars religiously, and want to get off on the right foot with this truck too . Thanks
#1 thing to do is put a bypass oil filter on from insane diesel! Never put a drop of fuel in without additive! Oil analysis, oil analysis, oil analysis!!!
Agree, specifics would really help. If you get an answer please add it to your comment so I’ll see it
Extended oil changes are absolutely fine! As long as you’re replacing the filter with an extended interval filter.
We have one GM 3500, 1 Ford F350 and 9 ram 3500s, all of them have been silent deleted with PCV reroute, and from day one we have been using LX4 Lubricity Extreme with every fill up and Lucas anti gel in the winter. The 2019 Ford has 240K on it (has had alot of small issues but nothing major) all the Rams have over 200K (no major issues) (most over 350K) but the 2018 GM 3500 now has 670K on it with no major issues, nothing has been done to it besides filters and oil. All fluids are changed every time they come near one of the HQs and oil never goes over 7K.
These trucks do set for a while (months at a time sometimes) especially in the winter when we get slow, but so far no issues at all with anything fuel or fuel pump related.
I swear by the LX4 Lubricity Extreme stuff (not a sponsor) to me, there is no way we wouldn't have had some kind of issue by now if it weren't for it.
Fuel additives for lubrication is key and filter maintenance… plenty 6.7 CP4 do 300k plus with maintenance. Many don’t even know about the CP4 problem, just working & caring for their diesel. The percentage that actually fail isn’t as high as perceived through all the RUclipss and articles… including the larger 550, 650, etc trucks.
In addition to additives & filters, I’d highly agree with a disaster prevention kit, FASS filtration and moving to DCR pump… for my preference… but I meet them often, high mileage and they have no concern or knowledge of a problem.
So it’s not out of norm, high percentage fleet maintenance, farmers, oil rig, etc maintain their rigs religiously and easily go beyond 300-400k miles. Oddly I hear more of the 250, 350’s having CP4 failures.
I put in a mug full every tank on my 2 litre V W DIESEL she purrs filters filters and LIQUID MOLY EVERY 8 thousand miles
Ya its unreal when u watch you tube you would think every 6.7 is bad we run 6 of them hard with hired hands and only 1 needed a rutrbo under warranty the rest have high miles and have been bulletproof
@@forrestcowan448exactly, your situation is what I often see… hard working diesels and few issues after warranty. Crews may work them hard, but they’re maintained.
The Owner in Video mentioned he felt it was daily hard use that “kept” a Diesel happy & healthy, that may have merit.
@dougcjohn AN old timer who inherited his dad's trukking biz, once toll me: You don't wanna baby a diesel...
The first 7 seconds of the video made my whole day! 😂
Just goes to show you I’ve always said it’s in the maintenance of your vehicle man and how you take care of it. You need to take care of your vehicle and drive it every day. I have a 2019 ram 4 x 4 classic I’ve got almost 300,000 km on it to date the only problem I had Was my wheel bearings and an alternator the alternator was because I had some light bars on the truck running the a little bit too much I believe and the wheel bearings were because I was driving around with 3 inch wheel spacers on I got rid of those got the proper wheels for the offset that I wanted. I’ve also put a 6 inch lift on with 35 inch tires but as of engine problems, I’ve never had any engine problems. Yeah it’s a gas engine. The 5.7 has got its issues but they can be minimulized but not keying the engine idle for long periods the oil pump isn’t pushing enough flow at idle it can be fixed with the 6.2 Ls oil pump its a perfect match up .and the mds lifters I feel are part of the problem and stay on time for the oil changes I do mine at 7000 to 7500 km. Now I need to buy a cold air intake and delete the cat with an exaust . No, I don’t have any diesel vehicles.
That was very interesting on the ford truck with high mileage it just proves that regular maintenance on a vehicle regardless of diesel or gas he do your maintenance and treat your right
Can you get him to name the additive and his mixing ratio/concentration. That would be super helpful.
Hot Shot's Diesel treatment
Opti-lube
He was running filtered used motor oil and added 20% regular when felt fancy

I love the Doctor/Mechanic analogy because it's so on point and makes things very clear. Similar to the water pressure analogy for electric current.
I like your water pressure analogy. That’s a good one!
Correction: you mean water pressure is to voltage as water volume is to current.
@Silver_1 yeah you're right
That's really incredible!
Like every person that watched video, we wonder what cleaner/lube additives he used?
Hmmm!
@@mr.oklahoma9288 what oil with filter will cost per oil change $200? Amsoil. What oil still good after 5k miles, 10k miles , 15k miles? Amsoil.

@@alexbarna9098YAH well I don't buy Dave's brand of silly sauce, I stick with what's been around A long time-HOWSE & POWER SERVICE, & once in a while A can of SEA FOAM. But I have been told that even Sea Foam will eat the seals in a pump in the fuel tank, so I don't make a big habit out of Sea Foam because of what my friend said about the seals. I have tons of experience experimenting w additives and on a Dodge ram Lucas will work , but too much and the pumps in the fuel tanks don't like it. Also on a deleted engine I've run tranny fluid, 2 cycle oil as well but found those both will gum thinks up more than they will help so those I don't fool with anymore
I have a 2019 GM L5P and I got it new with 1 mile on the track. I use Amsoil signature series 5W40 oil and I use Amsoil oil filter. And I use Wix fuel filter because it is a synthetic filter media that filters down to 2 migraines and I change it every 20,000 to 30,000 miles depending on my driving. If I’m pulling a lot I’ll change it around 15,000 to 20,000 miles. And I usually Amsoil all in one fuel additive every 4 tanks of fuel or so, or if I’m driving up in cold weather in the mountains. And I do that because I always use high-quality diesel fuel from Chevron or 76 fuel stations. And I charge my air filter every 30,000 miles.
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year, Dave and the team!🍻
Wishing you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year as well!

MY trick is to add 1 quart of ATF 20 gallons of LOW SULFUR DIESEL FUEL. Have 300K plus on my clock. Works for me and can work for you all too.

Consistent preventive maintenance is key👍👍👍
I remember one of the first videos I saw of the channel I commented on telling Dave the filter that he didn't know of yet was a disaster prevention kits from s&S was Dave looking a a dually 6.7
He is using bypass oil filtration. The insane diesel filter he talks about at the beginning is a bypass. Cat has been using them forever. Amsoil sells them as well, or you can make one yourself for a little over a hundred bucks. It runs the oil through a fuel filter, 1 or 2 micron instead of 20. The best one you can buy is ops-1 eco pur. It removes liquid contaminants, not just solid. It’s a grand.
Idk if I like that plan. Do you realize how much harder the oil pump has to work to force oil through a filter not designed to handle heavy oil? Especially in colder climates. 😳
@@Webedunn its a bypass filter. Only a fraction is pressed through.....as the main lil flow srill goes through the stock system
The pump doesn't work any harder. It's a bypass

That is an incredible amount of miles! Please tell us what additive you are using.

Key words: cross country, run everyday, oil AND filter changes, gas at truck stops. Sounds like interstate highway miles. The additive alone isnt a guaranteed cure. The plan with these key words are super important.

there fuel cleaner, oil, and trans fluid is in all our vehicles. We also use wix filters
My 11 6.7 power stroke is coming up on 200k and fuel filters every 10k or every other oil change been working good so far
What additive did he use? Someone from Dave’s shop
So Dave, could you do a recommended fuel additives video. Got the oil
Change message drummed into me. This whole series was very informative, absolute confirmation of your messages. Thanks for letting us all know.
@ interesting. Where did you get this information? It certainly seemed like Dave went out of his way not to tell which additive he was using.
Very cool ill stick with my 7.3
Indeed!!!
I have 2 7.3s and I run fuel additive in both
Except it will take 100 years to go 1000000 miles with a 7.3
@@adrianspeeder it's a diesel truck you racing somewhere? 😂
You sound like a poor
Everyone blames the parts for failure. Quality filters, regular service, quality fluids and quality fuel! The newer fuels require additives otherwise the top end and fuel system will not survive. Thank you so much yet again EPA...
So the number one reason this was possible was because diesel additive was used daily. And for some reason we decided against revealing the BRAND that actually made this possible?????
So much for giving customers the full picture.
Because Dave doesn't want to promote anything that isn't his product. Which I guarantee it wasn't his product. Most likely opti-lube.
Any good quality additive that adds lubricity is gonna keep that pumps alive -we got trucks in our fleet 300k original pumps no additive but our trucks fuel at our yard - and our fuel supplier puts an excellent additive package - maintenance is key our fuels never go past 10k
5k on regular fleet oil
@@HSKFabricationsyou have zero clue what brand it was
@@shawnengstrom3906 I know it wasn't Dave's. Hence why they didn't say. Opti-lube is #1 backed by independent testing so it wouldn't be too far fetched to mention it as a posibility.
@@HSKFabrications Dave’s hasn’t been out long enough to test anywhere near that mileage so that is very true. Many brands it could have been and would be nice to know which one. . . . .not that the one he did use truely matters
No DCR and high idle hrs, love it! Against the grain
What additives are being used?
That's what I wanna know
200,000 6.4 and still running strong I truly believe in hot shot everyday change my oil every 5000 miles and fuel filters also I don't drive it enough but I do drain my water separator all the time I do believe alot of the problem is lack of maintenance
Ok, can we get the oil and additives dude using i got a very strong feeling dude using amsoil or something close to the same quality
yeah Roger that. no mention of fuel additive or the oil that was used. nor the year of the Ford super duty 6.7.
My 03 duramax plow truck had 18,000 hours on the clock with original head gaskets and cp3 before the body basically fell off the frame … the oil at 5000 miles was still almost clean, I pick a rust free one up and the oil goes black within a thousand miles , maintenance maintenance maintenance … oh … and warming it up in the winter 😉 lol
Did you guys connect a scanner and verify???? The correct miles ??? When or if you put a new or used instrument cluster they ask for miles.... many times people put cluster where it doesn't match the Miles to the pcm....
I only change the oil during breakin period after that just the filter and top off about a quart and a half. 760,000 on my lml duramax zero problems. My fuel additive is a 1 percent mix of either canola or soybean oil.
Dadgum unicorn right there.
I change my fuel filters every single time I change oil I run 5,500 mile intervals on a 13 duramax bout to turn 300,000 miles on the od changing the fuel filters is key👍👍
What additive and oil was he using?
Amsoil based on cost he mentioned
Hot shots secret
yep a decent fuel conditioner will keep things nice. and of course regular filter changes. have good clean fuel and keep it that way.
Where are they getting this 5k oil changes from? All my diesels including my current 2015 powerstroke run to 10k or more. I do oil analysis twice a yr, reports always come back positive. Current truck has over 400k on the dash. Original cp4.
I had 874000 on my 2015 f350 I had number #7 injector failed. Only fuel problem I ever had. I was told always get your fuel at a truck stop to be sure it's fresh and never let your diesel get below 1/4 of a tank I had an auxiliary tank installed just to be able drive further. I never believed in the snake oils. ( additives or special oils) only used Motorcraft 10-30 oil from Walmart. It totaled out due to a deer at 927k miles last November.
I use marvel mystery oil and power services additives helps lubricant everything
Every 3 rd tank ... this has worked on all our equipment trucks farm equipment
And 4 trucks with original engines 300k no injection pump issues 👍😎
I don't think it's necessary.. I have over 300k miles on my 2002 7.3L.. and I've poured in old used motor oil.. and poured in ATF.. It doesn't matter. Your truck will run on bacon grease or vegetable oil. It does not care.
@calholli re using old oil ? Not vers bright are we old oil has dirt soot metals
And other contaminated things .. microscopic just perfect for premature wear
I'll stick to clean marvel mystery oil and power services additives being a machine
Shop owner for 30 years ill stick to what works ...😎
@nicholasroberts9618 that bullshit is removed before mile 500 on all our vehicles
@@nicholasroberts9618 I'm talking about a 2002 7.3L .. It doesn't have DPF.. and I live in Oklahoma. We don't have vehicle inspections. DPF would be deleted in the first weekend. lol
@@nicholasroberts9618 "Zip ties and biased plies' -- he'll show you what a 7.3L can handle. lol.. He has a second tank in the back of his truck where he pours all kinds of used motor oil and left over chicken grease, ATF, and whatever else. These diesels will burn it ALL for fuel, with no problems. Just mix at least 20% regular diesel in with it, to keep the consistency happy enough.. works fine. The original diesel was built to run on peanut oil.. btw
Yes!
Use "top tier" fuel
Keep tank at least 1/2 full chilly weather ir at least 1/3 full hot weather
Change oil/fuel filters every 4 to 5k miles
Never fill up when tanks at station are being filled
Keep the idle time down
Change engine air filter and cabin filter once or twice a year depending on dirt exposure.
Keep joints greased and tires rotated with correct air
I've been saying for decades, change the diesel oil every 20k bcuz soot kills diesels. Also fuel and filters bcuz fuel is filthy at the pump. Your diesel will last 1 mil miles no problem. You go one better and get an aftermarket lower micron oil filtration system. Then you skip an oil change and just change the filter. Also get a quick release oil plug for the oil pan. Just sayin.
@dsstaang
Any diesel will have soot in the oil. I don't need to test the oil. Just take out the dip stick and u see how bad it is. I've had Freightliner, Cummings, Paccar, Chevy, and it's the same story with maintenance. I think the manufacturers don't want a better running engine. Fuel efficient yes but better contaminate mitigation absolutely not. It's like evrythg else with don't make it last, let it crash for quicker turnover and bigger profit.
Now they have added the DEF system which is such a joke. All it does is break down and rob power. Why not make a totally efficient engine that lasts 1 mil plus miles. But that would make sense for the buyer no cents for maker. 💩😳
Is what i do to my cummins, but i idle a lot, so we'll see.
@@HUASTECO8 Delete the thing and YOUR WORRIES ARE OVER brother, coming from a 15 yr transporter, lookin out for ya.
@@ronmoore3987 👍
Paul in the UK here I've got high mileage out of diesel Fords and Vauxhalls (GM) also Peugeots regular oil changes and fuel filter changes, drive them hard but keep on top of maintenance you get out what you put in also ran dump trucks and mixer trucks never take the cheap alternative on regular servicing
So what kind and brand of additives was he using?
Diesel fuel is considered " light oil " thus holds abrasive grit so filters get the workout and need replaced often. Boron nitride in various fuel additives is a good extreme pressure lubricant. Merry Christmas all
What was the additive he used ??
Cocaine
Dave's secret sauce
That's incredible 😮
The very first part on pump removed looks like new/er blue gasket material @ 1:50.🤷♂️
Gaskets need replacing everyone knows that
Yes I know that.....smh but the owner, and mechanics all were acting as if nothing on this pump was ever serviced. I am simply noting the gasket that looks like it has been replaced. So no that pump doesn't look new. I wasn't there, but the point of this video was this pump with 900k never touched miles on it. @artejaimartin8360
Just the pressure regulator
Diesel is an interesting thing. The spec of the fuel can absolutely vary from refiner to refiner. So long as a broad-ish spec it met for cetane and such. So an additive can absolutely help aid in lubricity and cetane. But you can use many things, ATF, 2 cycle oil, an off the shelf brand, homemade blend. Some of the secrets are available in form of an SDS or some online searching of various test done in the past.
The other side is literally Maintenance. Changing you oil earlier depending on duty, fuel filters, air filters etc.... Diesel trucks are amazing these days. But you gotta run em, you gotta do some hard pulls, or wide open trottle. You can't be a granny. Use it hard, these trucks can handle all you throw.
What fuel additive is he using? I wonder if they are not saying because they sell their own now.
Oh for sure that was my thought exactly! I figured it’s archoil or HSS EDT but it want Dave’s secret sauce so no mention
He said in another interview it's motorcraft until 700k.
Dave’s the GOAT! When are you going national? 😊
i use archoil in my 7.3 every time 230k no issues i cant even get the thing to blow smoke if i try lol
Am soil?
Lubricity came out of the diesel a while ago coz the emissions
Ultra low sulfur soo… additive is the key and way to go
Good fuel ( hotshot line of work means ..truck stops fresh moving fuel at all times
Fuel filters maintenance
ADDITIVES
Hard work
Its shown right there
What is the additive?
My neighbor did the same type of work with his 5.9 . And replaced that motor after 1.6 million miles. And still drives it today,it’s an 03 , 3500
Hotshot is the best additive
Its what i use on the Sprinter van and its kept it running well
EDT has kept my truck purring. Even the lift pump is beyond the normal usage term. Lubricity
I live in Brazil and I have a Toyota Hilux 2006 3.0 turbo Diesel. I change my oil every 5000 km or 3100 and something miles for you I think, and I personally use an additive in oil called bardahl b12 premium in my motor. For the diesel my truck still uses de older diesel for us here that is called s500 (newer trucks use de s10) wich has less sulfure and less lubricity as far as I know, and I also use additive in the diesel called bardahl power diesel. For the fuel especially here in Brazil, I feel its mandatory since the governament passed a bill that our diesel can be mixed with 25% biodiesel. My truck runs great and have 350.000 kms. The trucks that are coming out are all failling because of the biodiesel. Another thing that I personally do too is removing my diesel tank every 8 months or so to clean every thing inside and put clean diesel after. Never had any problems.
I commented on one of your earlier videos that additives like HotShot are essential for the health of ANY diesel engine in the US. They use a higher percentage of sulfur in the fuel in Europe where CP4s were developed. Sulfur is the lubricant in the fuel system. It’s common sense.
EDT by hot shots has been our go to for decades of 4 diesel service trucks. Clean/ reliable returns
Appreciate you sharing your knowledge and experience!
One other important fact: crank after glow plug light goes out and then do not drive until RPMs go to a consistant 600 to 650 RPMs. Winter months, depending on location, put adhesive warming pad on diesel tank, def tank, and oil pan. Warm up above 47°F before driving a diesel.
What fuel additive did he use?
Lorenzo’s oil fuel additive (insane diesel)
Wow.....impressive.
Great vid.
Been a few million mile 6.7 fords. Some with emissions still on it
I’m glad your showing people how to avoid coming in for engine replacenent
