Don't forget the penny per mile cost for the wet oil pump belt "service job" required at 150,000 miles on our Duromax SUV's that our gasser SUV's don't have :thumbsup:

** GM says it's a 7 hour job plus parts and shop supplies, so I'd guess +/- $1500 at a GM dealer.
Well, that belt life has been extended to 200K miles and 99% of Dmax owners won't keep them that long. I will save far more on fuel and not have the constant worry in the back of my mind if and when a lifter will implode, or an injector takes a dump while I'm on a 1500-mile trip with my family. I also don't have to worry about stations being out of fuel when the next hurricane comes along in SWFL. Unless you've lived it, you wouldn't understand it...

extended to 200,000 on the newer 2024 SUV's duromax engine (2023 in Silverado Sierra) not the duromax in our 2023's and earlier SUV's

It won't make much difference. It's the same belt. The engines are largely the same except for a few nuanced differences.

When the transmission comes out for service you can do the belt then. 10 speeds are much more reliable then the 4,6, and 8 speeds but I doubt they last 150k+ miles none of its predecessors have typically.

Where I live in Ontario diesel now $1.45/litre and regular 87 1.65/litre, hope it stays this way.

Same part, different motors.. GM Authority published something recently about the wet oil pump belt replacement being pushed out to 200,000 on the LZ0 motor and 150,000 on the LM2.

Regardless, I don't care. My LM2 HC suburban is a zero-expense (to me) company car, so maybe for giggles I have mine replaced every 50k miles, LOL

Price of diesel in NYC depends HEAVILY on where you buy it, anywhere from 3.75 by JFK airport, to 5.49 in Manhattan.
Too bad the GMT800 SUVs didn't come with a turbodiesel option.
