Sierra 3500 8-cyl Diesel

  • 11,200 miles
Feb 7, 2011, with just 11,200 miles replaced two glow plugs. Sept 6, 2013, in millersburg, Ohio, with 26,632 another glow plug was replaced and was advised we should have the turbo checked when we returned home in California. March 20, 2014, with 31,986 miles, turbo was replaced. Given that our 2005 GMC truck, VIN # [xxx], blew up and burned up with only 30,000 miles, this is very alarming that our 2009 truck is having such major problems.
