We have a 2001 DuraMax. On a trip a few years ago we found that it is not prudent to go too much past the 15,000 miles they recommend for changing the fuel filter. I have it done regularly now.
I also found out that it is not cheap to have the dealers change them. I can get the filter for under $40, but the dealer just charged me $85 to have it installed. They said something about "bleeding the fuel line." It took them 15 minutes and I'm sure I can do the work if I knew what this "bleeding" issue was. If someone can tell me how to change the filter, safely, I would sure be grateful.
