Not every engine failure starts with a major event.
This LML Duramax came into the shop with a cracked piston, a failure we commonly see when excessive oil temperatures become a long-term issue. Once temperatures get out of control, internal engine components can take a beating.
The solution? A complete engine replacement.
While we were in there, we upgraded the truck with a Fleece CP3 conversion and a 2020+ L5P oil cooler to improve reliability, fuel system performance, and temperature management moving forward.
Sometimes the best repair is also an opportunity to make your truck stronger than it was before.
