Owner notes

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

Reassuring points

Reliability
  • The T1XX platform delivers unmatched chassis rigidity, class-leading fifth-wheel towing capacities, and advanced multi-camera towing aids.
  • The Duramax L5P diesel paired with the Allison 10-speed transmission provides peerless torque delivery and motorway hill-climbing refinement.
  • The 6.6-litre L8T petrol V8 offers a robust, cast-iron pushrod engine without the complex emissions equipment of modern diesels.
  • Massive eight-foot Durabed provides best-in-class cargo bed volume alongside authentic luxury-grade Crew Cab passenger accommodation.

Chronic weak spots

Keep an eye on
  • Allison 10-speed transmission: check software calibration records, inspect fluid temperature stability, and verify smooth low-speed gear shifts.
  • Duramax L5P DEF and SCR equipment: check urea injector for crystallization, test NOx sensors, and ensure the vehicle is not driven solely on short trips.
  • 6.6-litre L8T petrol V8: check engine oil level regularly during heavy haulage, inspect exhaust manifold studs, and monitor cooling efficiency.
  • Dual rear wheel setup: examine full-floating hub seals, check wheel lug nut torque, and verify inner tyre valve stem access and inflation.
  • T1XX electronics and camera systems: test all 15 trailering camera views, trailer brake controller module, and 7-pin wiring sockets.

Critical deadlines

Do not miss
  • Perform Allison 10-speed transmission fluid and filter servicing every 45,000 km when operating under continuous heavy towing duty.
  • Renew engine fuel filters on Duramax diesel models every 20,000 km using premium OEM filtration media to protect common-rail components.
  • Drain and refill heavy front and rear differential lubricants along with the transfer case fluid every 50,000 km.
  • Inspect and lubricate front suspension ball joints, steering linkages, and prop-shaft universal joints at every engine oil change interval.
