i have owned my truck for 6 weeks and it has been in the shop for 4 of those weeks (1 week my shop, 1week dealer were i bought truck, 2 weeks chevy dealer) first problem was one control arm on the 3link broke i fixed that no problem, now there is a short in the electrical system that has yet to be found. the chevy dealer has had it 2weeks and still hasnt touched it. i wish there was a diesel place here in Corpus that was realy good and could just fix it. i have no problems fixing mechanical issues but i have no patiance for anything electrical.

 

finaly got my truck in a bay yesterday afternoon. i hope they can find the problem. i dont have much faith

 

whats the word? Your truck is sick by the way.

Is that a hack shack sticker on the back window?

 

ya those pictures are from before i owned the truck. the truck is STILL in the shop, it is something to do with the starter relay. (nobody can find it)

 

I've been noticing the BIG 3 have been having issues with their dpf trucks

 

ECM is bad... got a new one ordered. going to order EFI as soon as Rob comes back from vacation.

 

Trade it in

 

The big three dose seem to be having trouble with the DPF era trucks,the scary thing is that many of the problems have nothing to do with the DPFs.Just the fact that even today there selling brand new rigs that still can be prone to death wobble makes you wonder what GM,Ford and Dodge are concerned with.Like being the first to 500 hp 1000 tq?

 

So did you get the new ECM and did it solve the problem? What's the latest?

 

they replaced the fusePANEL in the engine bay. still wont run. they can jump a relay and get it to start from under the hood but it still will not start with a key. i didnt even call today. the truck has been in this shop for 50 days and has not run in over 70days. i am burnt out
