I can tell you our 05 will not last that long because it has 68000 miles on it and it was made Oct 28th of 2004. Lots of high mileage duramax engines running. Makes for a bad story to some to hear.

Yes, I own 2 trucks. 2010 2500 GMC diesel with currently 599,700 on it and a 2013 3500 Cab & Chassis model.
I tend to get low oil pressure warnings when pulling in temps above 80 degrees when the coolant goes over 215 degrees. Its when I have to let off the throttle and the truck goes back to idle. It only flashes low oil pressure for a second. An oil thickener like Lucas does help keep the oil pressure up.
My 98 does that, it's the oil pressure sending unit. My new 98 does the same thing. I have checked the pressure with a manual gauge and the pressure is fine.
Hard to believe that light duty Duramax could last that long! :W
I suppose if it were a medium duty engine it would have needed a rebuild already? :h
He secretly runs AMZ/OIL ;)
