Vehicle shuts down during operation. I just saw there is a recall on your site saying same problem but mine didnt qualify. I have burned wires in harness to instrument panel. I found two wires at harness where code reader plugs into. O was able to ground them but now a couple months later same problem. I found burnt wires in harness and I cannot access to evaluate or replace. I've completed repairs myself, I am poor and dont know any honest affordable mechanics as I am capable of most reasonable repairs. I think my van falls under overheating panel warranty as described by this website. I still have 2 years of payments on van

Express 8-cyl Diesel

  • 70,000 miles
The "PCM"-pump control module located on the injection pump that is in charge of operating and coordinating pump operations fails after 30,000 to 40,000 miles. This causes the vehicle to stop running--no brakes or steering similar to ignition switch problem in other vehicles. GM likes to get 1,400 to fix, after the tow. Thanks [xxx] a better fix needs to be made here rather than installing another defective part. This problem happens in all the 6.5 diesel motors. Information redacted pursuant to the Freedom Of Information Act (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).
