Tow Vehicle

[larry_arizona]

Well after thinking my 1500 was plenty it’s dead.
2018 gmc Denali 1500 6.2l V8 8 speed.
2 injectors failing at 38k miles
Not covered under my bumper to bumper warranty
The parts are unavailable and they couldn’t put an exact time frame on how long it would take to get them until they blew the truck apart

Already sold the truck as is though thank gosh for this crazy market

Absolutely should be covered by powertrain warranty. Factory injectors are like $60 each and available

Yeah how the hell can they deny warranty for bad injectors after only 38k miles??? Did they give you an explanation?

Pretty much everything on the truck is covered. Except the injectors. Also I read up on it apparently this is pretty common with that truck. The whole thing put a bad taste in my mouth so I think I’m going to go Ford or ram. Probably Ford. Also diesel this round

Also quoted the job between $800-2500

sure it's the same as the 6.2 in my 'maro. injectors fall under the emissions warranty of 3/50k-lots of guys that have had luck getting them swapped out for that piece of the warranty but sometimes with some dealers it takes some "pushing".
assume with an '18 that your inservice date is prior to the issue coming up?

I have changed injectors on many of vette's and trucks. It takes 1-2 hrs to do all of them, pressure test/leak test, and back to driving. Parts can be bought aftermarket at better quality and while you are there throw a turner to it and be able to tow better.

I hope you didn't lose you a$$ on selling it. It was clearly a $300 fix at most from any good shop (non-dealer).

Summit racing has them in stock also.

Slightly more involved on a direct injection 6.2, but very doable.

No way it is harder than my Duramax! Just saying....

And 1/8 the cost!

I came out smiling, actually didn't really lose any money at all

It wasn't so much the cost of the repair but the fact they wouldn't stand behind their product and then are the new injectors just going to go out in another 40k miles?


Also I've always been a diesel guy since my last 2005 duramax however haven't been able to justify it so letting it go wasn't hard for me. I live at about 4000' and the lake I go to is 40mins and 1200' so the mountain down is pretty steep. Since I didn't get electric breaks I could use some breaking help anyways.

Im really leaning towards a 2022 F250 platinum right now, used prices are crazy so at least if you order a truck you won't have to overpay?

I'm glad the market was kind to you and you made out good. As far as the anger from not standing by their product, I get it 100%.
If you go Diesel, drive them all. I have been shopping new trucks the last month and they all have good and bad things about them. I haul some heavy equipment in my free time, but nothing that would require a dually with the new load ratings and power output. So getting rid of 2 tires for me is a big maintenance win.

Ford is a good choice and the 10 speed in it and the GM trucks are awesome. I still don't like the super duty interior though. Ram has the interior game, but you have to by the 3500 to get the Aisin trans which ups the price quickly. Good luck shopping. But my LMM Duramax has had zero issues compared to my previous LLY. Hard the knock the GM Duramax powerplant, but they already lost you so....

I love my '17 250 and it's been my dd since Day 1. PSD is a hoss.
