2002 Chevy 2500HD Duramax Diesel

I bought this 2002 Chevy 2500HD Duramax powered truck in August of 2002, which replaced a 1994 6.5L 2500 ext short box. I followed the progress of the Duramax on The Diesel Page with much anticipation. This truck was everything that you guys said it was.



I use this truck for towing cargo trailers, 29' camper trailer, 20' boat, and for work. I install commercial kitchen equipment for restaurants, hospitals, and various institutions, so I travel all over the East Coast and as far away as Texas. As far as maintenance on this truck, I change the oil about every 7,500 miles and the fuel filter every 12,000 miles. I used Shell Rotella 15-40 since new. I've never used any fuel additive, but in hindsight perhaps I should have. I had all the injectors replaced at 180,000 miles under warranty. The Bosch high-pressure fuel pump was also replaced at 240,000 + miles - now I run Stanadyne fuel additive in the fuel. The truck routinely delivered 21 mpg till the injectors were replaced, which dropped fuel economy to the 18 mpg range. Plans include running this truck to at least 300K before I replace with it another Duramax.

Some truck you got there! Looks to me like you got this contest wrapped up. Especially with an average speed of over 200 MPH.

Yesterday I became a proud owner of an 07 classic chevy ccsb 4by. With 334K on her. I have been playing with the idea of getting a dmax for sometime. Then this truck came across. the truck drove out good and the 2 previous owners kept great maintence records, its bone stock and the money was right at 10K. Sooo shes mine. anything I should really take a look at with those miles?

2001 2500HD, 436.7K miles.

206500. Pretty much all original equipment. Wondering if I should replace waterpump, radiator hoses or starter or just keep driving it?

I'd not replace the waterpump unless you notice it's leaking at the weep hole - or if you need to replace the head gaskets. Absent cooling system overpressure due to head gasket problems, the water pump seal should last for a long-long time.
