Owner notes

The reassuring points, known weak spots and deadlines you should not let slip.

Reassuring points

Reliability
  • The K2XX platform delivers exceptional cabin acoustic insulation and long-distance touring comfort alongside monumental towing capacity.
  • The revised 2017+ Duramax L5P diesel engine delivers 445 hp and 910 lb-ft of torque with improved Denso fuel injection reliability.
  • The six-speed Allison automatic transmission provides rock-solid grade braking and seamless gear selection under extreme gross combination weights.
  • Dual rear wheel chassis configuration offers immense directional stability and virtually eliminates trailer sway in crosswinds.

Chronic weak spots

Keep an eye on
  • Duramax L5P emissions: inspect NOx sensors, DEF heater modules, and ensure EGR cooler passages remain clear of excessive carbon fouling.
  • Frame rust protection: inspect the wax-based factory frame coating for peeling and road-salt corrosion on underbody frame rails.
  • Allison 1000 transmission: check transmission fluid condition, inspect external spin-on filters, and verify smooth lock-up in tow/haul mode.
  • Dually rear axle: inspect full-floating wheel hub seals, axle flange gaskets, and monitor inner tyre wear and pressure sensors.
  • Front running gear: check heavy-duty wishbone ball joints, steering idler/pitman linkages, and torsion-bar adjusters for wear.

Critical deadlines

Do not miss
  • Replace the Allison automatic transmission spin-on filter and fluid every 40,000 km during regular heavy trailering operations.
  • Renew diesel fuel filters every 20,000 km using genuine high-efficiency filter cartridges to protect common-rail injection pumps.
  • Drain and refill heavy rear axle and front differential oils every 50,000 km with GM-approved synthetic gear lubricants.
  • Grease all front suspension pivot points, steering linkages, and prop-shaft universal joints at every engine oil change interval.
