I did the 200 hour service today on my 2615HST. It wasn't too bad. Drained the trans, pulled and replaced the filters and refilled. Also drained and refilled the front axle. Changed engine oil and filter. Blew out air filter and replaced fuel filter.
The only problem I had was during greasing. I Had two loader arm points that wouldn't take grease so I pulled the grease fittings (they were OK) clean the dried up grease out of the hole and tried again. Still wouldn't take grease. Ended up popping the E-clips and driving the pivot bolts out of its socket enough to rotate it while pumping in grease. That worked. Tapped bolt back in and put the clips back on.
Total tractor service time took about 3 1/2 hours which inculded two coffee breaks while reading the book procedures.
And for those Duramax tow vehicle owners I found the fuel filter was a bear to change. I had a heck of a time getting mine off. There isn't enough room to get a conventional filter wrench on it. I had to removed the auxiliary battery to get enough room to grip the filter with a filter wrench. Next time I'll invest in a filter wrench designed for close quarters. The spin on tranny filter for the Allison however, is a real nice touch and easy to change.
