Okay im new posting here but have been reading alot. I just got a 2004 duramax lb7, and who could have guessed, it has fuel injector problems. But thats not the end of my problems.
The truck has 160k miles and it was loud, smoking intermittently, and when i pulled the dipstick it had a ton of fuel on it. So i took it in to GM and they told me nothing was wrong with it... haha. I took it to another dealership that was further away and they said i need new injectors. Finally got the first place to do it after a ton of arguing and alot of phone calls to different places.
After its in there for about 1 week they said they need to pull the head to get one injector sleeve out, ok.. About the 2nd week, they said they got it all put back together but they think it needs a new head gasket cause its still smoking and they said they dont know which one it is( i told them its the one they took off and didnt inspect or replace the gasket). So they replaced both of them, and of course it was like $5000. Now the 3rd week and they got it all put together and they say it smoking worse than ever and they think it has a cracked engine block. WTF! So they offered a new engine for 13K miles, and i told them i was just going to pick it up. Picked it up and its smokes like crazy( more than before), and its starts beeping saying engine overheated... WTF! So now its back at the deal and they are taking the heads off again, and its probably going to be a couple weeks. These people dont understand that i use this truck for work and that whens its in there im losing money, i need to pull my trailers and ive been stuck with my gasoline 5.4 ford.
The truck is a 2004 2500HD w/ 167000 Miles. Is there any legal action I can take towards this, this is completely unacceptable. Ive wasted so much money for no results. What is there to do? I dont think I will own another GM product for my fleet, all my fords are holding up including my 7.3 with 300K.
