Consumer Description

ON THE DURAMAX DIESEL, WHILE UNDER A LOAD (TOWING, FULL BED) FUEL LINES COLLAPSE CAUSING SEVERAL CHECK ENGINE LIGHTS AND VEHICLE TO GO INTO "LIMP" MODE. MUST RELEASE VACUUM IN FUEL SYSTEM (BY LOOSENING THE FUEL FILTER THEN RE-BLEEDING THE FUEL SYSTEM) IN ORDER FOR THE CODE TO GO OFF. HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES, ONCE WHILE TOWING UP HILL. IF THIS HAD CAUSED AN ACCIDENT, I WOULD HAVE BEEN A GM SHARE HOLDER. VEHICLE HAS STALLED OUT SEVERAL TIMES IN THE WINTER DUE TO A COMBINATION OF THE WINTER DIESEL AND THE VACUUM FUEL SYSTEM. ONCE WHILE ON AN ICY ROAD, ON MY WAY TO WORK AT 4AM. GM NEEDS TO RECALL THIS. *TR
