How many miles can a 2007 Duramax last?

A poorly-maintained engine can quickly fall into disrepair before it even reaches the 100,000-mile mark while a well-maintained Duramax pickup truck should last 400,000 or even 500,000 miles.

Why was the LMM added to the Duramax 6.6L?

Following the same 6.6L powerplant, the LMM was introduced due to continuously increasing diesel emissions regulations and lasted until 2010 when it was phased out for the LML. Compared to the LBZ, the LMM added active regeneration cycles to the diesel particulate filter (DPF) system.

How often does a LMM Duramax engine Regen?

The truck therefore has “regeneration cycles” which usually occur every 700 miles or as soon as the DPF accumulates 44 grams of soot. Regeneration takes approx. 40 miles of highway driving. With city driving, the exhaust usually does not get hot enough to go through a full regen process.

When did the LMM diesel engine come out?

Following the LBZ being phased out in mid-2007, the LMM Duramax took its place as Chevy & GMC’s diesel truck engine. Following the same 6.6L powerplant, the LMM was introduced due to continuously increasing diesel emissions regulations and lasted until 2010 when it was phased out for the LML.

What are the problems with the Duramax DPF system?

The DPF system is extremely complicated but all problems boil down to excessive regeneration or regeneration interruption. These problems can be prevented by ensuring you are driving your Duramax on the highway enough and being cautious of not interrupting the regeneration process while its taking place.
