1997 k 2500 truck problem with engine stalling and surging will stall at high speeds and with hydro boost there are only 10 % braking power this has happened many times with each time a failure of a pmd box on engine that the dealer says is a major problem since 1994 I have had replaced 4 times with the result the same a dangerously close call when the vehicle surges in to traffic or the brakes fail when the engine stalls after looking the dealer was pushed buy extended the warranty on the oem part but nothing has been done to repair the risk of driving after I leave the dealer and a failure happens I have to believe this is a problem across the country and accident other than mine must have happened the dealer and the stanadine dealer in toledo admit these are a continuing problems that is not going away. The safety concern is real and must be addressed before some one if not already gets killed in an accident.
I have a1997 Chevrolet 6. 5t diesel, I was driving home from work doing about 45 mph crossing a stop light and the truck just shut off for no reason and a semi was behind me and almost plowed in to the back of my truck but he was able to go around at the last second. I was on the freeway doing 70 mph and the truck did the same thing just shut off for no reason and a car almost hit me but was able to stop in time. On all occasions I lost all power to everything brakes,steering and engine power. This has happened several times before and after the two above. Found out that gm had put out an under the table recall of the pmd and injector pump on the 6. 5t diesel motor 12yr/100,000miles but did not publicly say anything. The other thing that I just can't get out of my head is what if I had my family with me going camping and towing my trailer when the incident happened going down a step mountain pass and the truck to shut off with no power to stop. I know that car makers have a % of accidents before they will look at recalls and deaths are included in those %'s and for gm to hide the recall is very dishonest.
