The vehicle was repaired, but the failure recurred. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 157,000.

I have a 2004 silverado k2500 with a duramax diesel (lly). I bought this truck new in September 2004. I pull a fifth wheel camper. My truck has overheated more than two dozen times, and on some occasions lost power, while pulling the camper up long grades. I reported this problem twice to Chevrolet dealers. I have the service orders that clearly describe my overheating problem. Both of these service calls were while the truck was under warranty, but the dealers could not fix the problem. Later when the truck was out of warranty, I found out that general motors recognized the overheating problem and issued a service bulletin #06-06-04-036d that describes my heating problem exactly. This service bulletin was issued prior to either of my complaints about overheating. The cost of implementing service bulletin #06-06-04-036d is approximately $1,300 dollars, so general motors recognizes that this series truck has a significant overheating problem, but apparently they are hiding this fix from the owners until the vehicle is out of warranty. I can give many instances where this overheating problem has caused a safety problem. One time I was pulling the camper east on interstate 40 about a 150 miles west of albuquerque, nm when the truck overheated and lost power. There was no good place to pull over and I was terrified as the heavy traffic had to change lanes and pass me. Another time I was pulling up to the north rim of the grand canyon on a two lane road when the truck overheated, lost power and I had a long line of traffic behind me. It was dangerous as the traffic passed me without good clearance. I could go on and on of similar situations that caused dangerous conditions. . Read more...

Bought the truck in October of 2009, took to dealership on 12/17/2009 with complaints mileage of 96,764 of low engine power, hard to start truck,,,,glow plugs were bad corroded park neutral switch, corrosion on brake lines. . Paid $ 3,600 in repairs then around late September 9-28-2010truck died a fourway intersection. . . Was almost hit by a car. . . Towed to nearest service fleet source. . . Found out injectors were bad. . . Work was started for repairs. . . Then I found out the glow plugs. . . Which I paid for already. . . And the injectors were service bulletins. . . Called fleet told them to stop repairs. . . Called the dealership. . . That had the truck in December. . . Ask why they charged me for the glow plugs and why the did not fix the injectors. . . When it was in there. . . . . Dealership hung up on me. . . Called 1-800-790-5700. . Spoke with gm told them about my chevy problems. . . They claim that my injectors would not be covered. . . As it was not a dealership. . . . Funny thing is that fleet source is a certified rebuilder for bosch, and satadyne by the manufacture for these parts that are used in all gm vehicles. . . . So if you take your truck to a dealer. . . They get their parts from these people. . . . . Gm has a history of putting on bulletins for items. . . And claiming when you bring in your truck that the part does not meet the perimeter for replacement. . . . I about another $ 3,200. 00 that makes about $ 5,0000. 00 dollars of items that people have complained out. . . Had recalls. . Service bulletins. . . . Never will by anything that gm make again.

The contact states he was driving at about 55mph on the highway when he noticed there was smoke coming from under the hood and threw the heater vents into his vehicle. The contact states he pulled his vehicle over into a parking lot and by the time he stepped out of his vehicle there was flames coming from under the hood. The contact also states the hood would not open. The fire department was contacted and when they arrived there it took them a hour to put the fire out. The fire report is available. The contact states he was not injured. The vehicle was destroyed. The failure mileage was 43,000. Ar.

This happened in the year 2008. Everything was fine but when I woke up the following day, the speedometer was pointing at 120mph. In other words, it was a direct reflection from its initial point, which was when it was pointing at or below 0mph.
