Pro Tips for LT625 PM Class B Intermediate Service

  • Pre-Service Planning: Order all required filters, fluids, and parts 48 hours before service. LT625s require specific OEM or equivalent parts to maintain warranty compliance and optimal performance.
  • Diamond Logic Diagnostics: Always perform a complete diagnostic scan before starting service. Clear any intermittent codes after service completion and verify all systems are functioning properly.
  • DEF System Service: Check DEF quality and perform system tests. Contaminated DEF can cause expensive SCR system damage that's not covered under warranty.
  • DPF Maintenance: Monitor DPF status and perform forced regeneration if needed during service. Document regeneration frequency to identify potential issues early.
  • Torque Specifications: Always use International's specified torque values for critical components. LT625s have unique specifications that differ from other truck models.
  • Service Documentation: Maintain detailed records for warranty compliance. International requires specific documentation for major component warranty claims.
