Other Fuel System Fuel Injection System problems of the 2005 Chevrolet Silverado

The truck has 110k miles on the duramax / allison drive train. The diesel fuel injection pump failed unexpectedly and without warning. This powertrain combination should be capable of 500k miles without problems like this. This pump should not fail after normal use in only 110k miles. Nothing but excuses and other not possible reasons for the poor engineering and manufacturing exhibited in their product. They said the methanol water injection system caused the fuel injection pump to fail. Metanol (non caustic fluid) is injected air side of the engine and does not mix with the injected fuel until the engine cylinder. The fuel injection pump supplies fuel to the individual injectors that then in turn supplies the high pressure fuel to the cylinders. If this condition was to happen on the road pulling a trailer / heavy load in hills or other confined roadways people could be injured or killed by the sudden loss of power and control. Gm business practices are going to continue to kill and hurt people.
