2017 Duramax
- Thread starter duramaxdiesel
- Start date
As long as they don't look like the half-tons:barf: The '15's look good but I can't handle the '16.
Henry's document is wrong.
I know for a fact its going to be a Denso fuel system, and Continental controller.
No more Bosch.
What's wrong with it? Not sure if they run it on there construction equipment, but our Deere's are problem free.

It would be badass if they used those new Denso i-ART injectors...
Its not going to be the same as your tractors, come on. I dont know how old your tractors are, but even if that Deere system just came out, that means its like mid-late 2000's technology/generation stuff...IE, 5+ years behind what the new Duramax would have. Its not like GM is going to use 10 year old fuel injection technology.

The lines are junk for one. They constantly leak, and once they leak or have have been removed they are almost impossible to get to seal.
The injectors wear out prematurely. Especially in the small cube engines.
I'm sure the new Denso stuff has some amazing technology if Ben says so.
Unfortunately technology tends to not always be as reliable.
I've seen the new tractors sit waiting on diagnosis or parts while the older P-pumped engines actually get the work done.

X 2 on the drooling for a new truck . Almost pulled the triigger back in December but decided to wait anticipating the 17 changes. We shall see.
I couldn't wait for the 17s. Just decided to go with a 16 to replace my PSD. I have looked high and low and couldn't see any leaked photos of the GM changes. I saw the release of the new Fords and ... well ... the design engineers should be fired!
I kinda like the new fords. I hate what chevy did to the 16 frontend though. .. I'll keep my older duramax, but when I buy new trucks I'm going to buy ford. I've had awesome luck with my 2011 6.7.
Pretty sure I seen 3 of them testing on I-80 in NE about 2 months ago. Front clip had covers over them... Cab and rear looked the same from what I could tell, but you could tell that they did have ram air hood.... 
You heard anything about front suspension Ben? If its still torsion bar im gonna pass on this one...
Like you said above, torsion bars are way older than 10 year old technology. I hate them, I'm ready for some air ride or coil overs.
Highly doubt its going to change, like 99.99999%.
I mean they chassis was just refreshed for 2011, its probably not going to be updated until the next body style in 2020 or whatever.
FWIW, I have zero complaints about the chassis in my LML. Maybe I had just been driving my old LLY jalopy for too long, but I think my LML rides and handles awesome.
If it works, dont fix it...enough people already complain about the price, imagine what an all new chassis only 5 years after they just redesigned it would bump the MSRP up to.
And I still don't know why so many people are obsessed with a solid front axle? I bought my GMC because it has IFS. I like the smooth ride and better handling, and my wife likes a truck that sits lower to the ground because she is vertically challenged(midget). I've driven plenty of SFA trucks, just don't see the appeal, and the IFS in all honesty holds up pretty dang good for 99% of the people out there with them.
This was part of what sold me on the GMC as well. I can see where a SFA would be desired for snow plowing or similar applications, but for a weekend warrior/tow vehicle, I'm looking forward to the better handling of IFS.
