New Duramax Question

Hey All,

I'm considering a new GMC 3500 single rear wheel diesel and have never owned a diesel before. How often do you have to change the fuel filter on a Duramax? Every 5000 miles? 10000 miles? More often in cold climates like the Northeast? Also, how much is an oil change if I have the dealer perform the service?

Thanks!

Your truck will tell you when it's time to change your fuel filter and oil. When it tells you to do it, do it.

Dealers charge different amounts for everything. No way to tell what yours will charge. It's a safe bet to say a bunch though.

It's also a pretty good idea to read the manual cover to cover. There is some good stuff you NEED to know about your nice new truck.

Congrats on the new truck. I'm sure you will love it!
