Power Train problem #1

The truck shut off no power brakes, steering. This happened while pulling a trailer. The GMC dealer informed me that the shut off was the result of a pump mounted driver (pmd) failure on the 6. 5l diesel motor. Very unsafe should have resulted in a accident.

Power Train Driveline problem #2

While driving consumer notice severe driveline vibration which shakes the steering wheel and truck, dealer rotated and balanced the tire during 3000 mile check up, vehicle ran a little better, but still vibrated.
