I have had an issue with my truck since I was in Reno the last weekend of July. My truck will start up and run. Right before shifting into gear it dies. Then it won't start. It turns over but feels like it's starving for fuel. The dealer in Reno replaced the fuel filter housing and cleaned the injectors. He stated that the housing is a known issue for that truck because of heat and plastic parts.
I got the truck back and towed our trailer home last Tuesday. No issues. We drove the truck all week, no issues. Then Saturday am we went to the lake. Coming off the lake about 6:30 pm the truck started but then died like in Reno. I was able to start the truck after priming the fuel pump(Reno dealer showed me how). The truck has ran fine since but I did take it to our dealer yesterday to be checked out. They can't duplicate the issue and can't find anything wrong. They have kept it overnight so they can see if it does it this morning.
We are supposed to leave on another trip to Pismo on Thursday. Are there any diesel gurus out there with any suggestions?
By the way the engine has only a little over 4,000 miles on it. Chevy replaced it in January due to a oil pump failure.

Just got the truck back from the dealer and they can't find anything wrong. Very frustrating.

Sounds like an intermittent issue with the fuel pump.

Well, I know with my luck lately it will fail on this trip. I have to get the bugs out before our Vegas/Phoenix trip in March. Originally Posted by Beer Mod

The best way to get the bugs out of a Duramax is to trade it in on a Super Duty! Originally Posted by MrH
