Anyone running the new Duramax(LMM) with the DPF filter yet? I have read great things about the motor on various websites, though have heard guys idling them a bit too long, which in turns kicks the pcm into limp mode because the DPF is clogged/full. Just wondering what real world experience guys are having running them in commercial applications.

Brad, I forgot what year you got, You have the new LMM in your truck?
If so you need to change the name.
LBZ the only way to go, 202k. LOL. Knock on wood.

Have you checked out The diesel place, GM-diesel, diesel garage forums? There should be plenty of info on those 3 forums.
The LMM has to be good...it's a GM truck and there is none better as far as I am concerned. LOL

Yeah I have the LBZ in mine, hence the name...when I was getting into this a year or two ago I was an inch away from purchasing one about the time I was getting on the boards and ended getting a deal on an LLY.
I have been on some of the diesel boards reading about things and just curious about the new motors/filters. It will be awhile before I can afford to go that new. In fact it will be old by the time I get one...

Keep up the maint and treat it right and you can get way on past 500K with it. I have heard of some pushing the 1M mark.
I have 264K on my LB7 and God willing it may get that many more on it before I pass it along to someone else....maybe my soon to be 4 yr old grandson. He wants a Chevy Duramax. Grandpa and daddy have one so he wants one too. LOL

Yeah I am definitely more than content with the LBZ with the Allison 6 speed & not having to mess with/worry about that DPF filter yet. I never had an issue with the LLY last year, course I only had it a few months(Jan-Aug.) when I sold all my stuff like an idiot!
However I am getting everything back minus truck later this week. ...and there will be a long story to follow then I am sure.

I gather that you shutdown operations and sold everything. I had sold my trailer and was only transporting trailers. I had to shutdown as well. It is doubtful that I will restart.
