What is the latest year of duramax engine that can be run on 100% bio without any modifications? So far I have read that it is the 04. Is there a later one?

Hello,

The first year of the DPF is for the LMM 2007-2009. I have a LLY 2005 which is not much different than a LBZ up to 2006.5. I do have a catalytic convertor that hangs on my barn wall should I ever need it. So to answer your question, up 2006.5 Duramax.


600 hp 05 Duramax, 02 & 99 Jettas, John Deere 790, 12hp Changfa, 10 hp Vortex Diesels, 3 ton seed press, Allis Chalmers 60 all crop, Growing my own Camelina , Canola and a Biopro 190(have no kids)

Thanks. I am new to this and wanted a newer truck but needed to run on 100% to make it cost effective.

Greetings Joe!

Is this a new and significant design change that allows and endorses B-100????

If so, this would be big news and a significant feather in the cap of GM.

Finest regards,

troy

The design change is the post combustion injection for cleaning the DPF has been moved to the down pipe right after the turbocharger. Of course GM still does not endorse B100, but we all know it will run on it. Smile

Far be it from me to whiz in your corn flakes Joe, although if GM went the way of Kubota, where they had a perfectly compatible engine for B100 use and "improved" it so that it will no longer accept B100 but no more than B5, then that recomendation may be excentric. Do you KNOW it will burn B100 or is that assessment based upon past performance data ? Like I said I'm not trying to put out the flame, just wanting to be specific.

Hey Legal, what ever happened with your buddys Kubota situation?
My BX25 is at around 150 hours now trouble free on B100. If the temps keep droping I am going to have to start to blend it sooner then later though... Red Face

My dad has an 05 and my erstwhile bio partner has an 04, both have been on B100 for over two years now with zero problems, but of course my PSD will pull them both backwards at the same time at half throttle. Big Grin

HA! The CTD could do the job, if the drive train and frame would stay together. Cool

My Ford will pull all you guys out, and never leave idle throttle!

Yup, I always figured my motor would end up powering a water pump in a field somewhere long after the rest of the truck was gone (a 350 hp water pump???). As for Fords dragging CTD's around, check out Utube, many more Fords going backwards. But hey, I might be biased.

My buddy in his CTD got buried to the frame in mud, I came over, hooked up and pulled him out in 4L never hit the pedal. Pulled a fully loaded 48 ft semi that had dropped its rear axles off into a ditch on a turn. rear axle was sitting on a 48" concrete culvert. Front driver side tire was 18 inches off the ground from the angle. Hooked up, 4L, reverse, no throttle, and crawled him right over it. I love these Ford trucks!

hookline, you aren't going to try to tell me your truck was buried in the mud the same as the CTD was are you? Oh and my CTD never gets buried in the mud, the heat of that powerful motor just dries the mud to dust as it passes over. Floats like a feather on water.

I love my PSD, but I hope you are not going to tell us that 48' semi had a loaded trailer.

OH YEAH,
Well I was on a jobsite when a track loader hit an underground spring and sank up to the driver seat in the mud. Luckily I had a piece of cotton rope (or was it old shoe laces), in the trunk and just backed up to him and tied on, dropped the old benz in low and jerked him right up out of there without even putting the key in the ignition.
Anyone want to hook em up? Big Grin

Man, talk about derailing a thread. My Duramax is a 2004 LLY. Eats B100 like I do pu$$......Well, never mind, that might violate the rules here. 12K plus for over a year and no issues.
Not sure about later models but mine runs better on B100 than any other blend.

Yea, mention truck brands and everybody likes to talk smack. I fully expect hookline to have some smack about pulling stumps with braided fishing line. Myself, I braid cobwebs together for tow line. Just got to go easy on the throttle, no jerking it out.
