Consumer Description

2005 CHEVY 2500HD DIESEL - THE NUMBER 2 AND NUMBER 7 INJECTOR WIRE HARNESS IS NOT MOUNTED PROPERLY. IT RUBS THROUGH AND PUTS THE TRUCK INTO WHAT THEY CALL "LIMP MODE". IT ONLY ALLOWS THE MOTOR TO GOT UP TO 2000 RPM. THIS HAPPENED TO ME TWICE WITH MY CURRENT TRUCK. THE SECOND TIME I WAS RUNNING DOWN INTERSTATE I-80 @ 70MPH ON CRUISE CONTROL. IT AUTOMATICALLY BEGAN DOWNSHIFTING AND SLOWING DOWN. I WAS LUCKY A SEMI WASN'T BEARING DOWN ON ME. GO TO DIESEL PLACE OR ANY OTHER BLOG ON CHEVY DURMAX DIESELS AND DO A SEARCH FOR NO. 2 & 7 WIRE HARNESS FOR THE SECOND GENERATION DIESEL (2004.5-2005) - THEY MUST HAVE FIXED IT AFTER THAT. *TR
