problem #2

Sierra 2500

  • 70,000 miles
While traveling on the interstate at speed and passing slower traffic; engine power fell off, change fuel filter now, engine derate, and check engine lite, occured. I had to maneuver with no power through the traffic to get out of the travel lanes. I was then stranded on the interstate as the truck would not start. I was able to get a mechanic to come and change the fuel filter on the side of the highway, but the truck would not start. The truck was eventually towed to a shop where it was diagnosed with a catastrophic failure of the fuel pump (diesel motor driven pump).

  • 87,000 miles
Emissions failure. Nox sensor, def system. Driving, display states, poor def quality. Took in for repair, still def quality. Truck has slowed to 55mph, will slow to 4 mph in 39 miles. They are trowing parts at it at my expense. Can't properly diagnose. This problem is from 2010- current models of these diesels.
