1 Engine And Engine Cooling problem

Failure Date: 02/27/2023

The transmission control module failed causing the vehicle to loose power and operate only in "limp mode". General motors does not have a replacement module available, leaving the vehicle inoperable. Gm has no reliable information as to when a module will be available. I had to use a third party service to try and repair the module for a cost of over $1,200. This seems to be a common problem with the 2008-20015 gm duramax with the allison transmission.

2 Engine And Engine Cooling problem

Failure Date: 07/06/2017

Vehicle would not start when warmed up after shutting off.
