First post so bear with me! I've got a 2011 2500hd 6.6 Duramax, I bought it 6 months ago with 124k now has 135k. Since then I've had it in the shop 3 times, first time a glow plug went out so I changed them all, second time pump inside the EGR tank went out and just now the transmission control module...all have cost 800-1200 dollars a pop... My question is what else can I expect? am I just working out some bugs, it's getting annoying.
Love the truck but but tired of the repair shop!
I use it for my construction business and figured that 100k wasn't that bad of mileage cause it was a diesel and I want to run it for a long time. Did I make a mistake???

It's hit or miss. Usually more problems will arise when you buy the first model year of a newly designed truck, which unfortunately you did. Just keep in mind it's a new diesel truck with a LOT of components which all could technically fail.
