My company took the Ford away and gave me this piece. It vibrates from 30-40 then goes away and comes back at 60. It feels like driving on washboard. Also the service 4wd and service stabilitrack light comes on. When the 4wd light is on the tcase doesn't shift. Out of desperation we replaced the tires and nothing changed. The closest dealer is 5 hours away, and none of the mechanics nearby after $5K spent have any idea. Anyone out there??? Please Help!

Don't worry about the towing, they're awesome. I lost my contract and need to sell my 2020 3.0 she has 39000. Anyone want a LTZ fully loaded for 50K?

The people above don't understand diesel regeneration. While these trucks can be driven 15 miles everyday it will eventually cause issues. The basic question remains; why would you buy this truck for short commutes? Diesels are horrible when it comes to maintenance; fuel filters, DPF, injectors, turbos, etc. Don't do it unless your going to run it. Go to any diesel shop and ask them.

Fuel is low now because a decrease in OTR trucks. Eventually the supply chain will recover and diesel will be .50 - 1.00 more then gas. All fuels are priced at least 1.00 too low currently. Enjoy it while its cheap.

Ya sounds like your not gonna put a lot of miles on it and remain in warranty so sure. Although you might find that the small added expense of owning a diesel offsets fuel prices. Also diesel fuel will cost more the gas soon.

Engines run forever if they don't get turned off. Semi trucks achieve 1 million miles all the time. Taxi cabs run well into 750K. Starting an engine is when damage occurs. Do you want to do this 20X a day? Also it takes a toll on the starter, flexplate, battery and relays. I bought the range before I took ownership of my truck. IT WORKS ON THE 3.0!!

People need to quit relating the other Duramax to ours. Their not even ALMOST the same. the big diesels are designed by Isuzu and the babies by FEV. While the codes are the same in some instances this does not cross over from big engines to ours. You have a warranty and you bought a great engine with an ok truck wrapped around it. I have 36K on mine now and it just runs better every day. I think break in is close to done, my oil analysis levels look great.

I was told the DEF recall was for trucks that either A used NONE, or B trucks like mine that used a TON of def. Either way after the def recall mine has stabilized and uses way less been consistent for 15K. Question is what affect of using none or too much has on the exhaust system.

Bilstein is the way to go. My truck bounced like crazy, afterwards the bounce is gone and it handles way better.

Just drive it but remember diesels want to get warmed up and drive. They aren't great for short trips. Disable your start-stop.

Anyone with a 3.0 try it?

Mine runs above 210 and way below depending on something. The truck get 32mpg when there is no wind and ideal circumstances. Put a trailer on it and mileage goes to 20; even the smallest trailer. I can see how the 3.73 gears could change mileage. Great engine but it is a tiny 3.0. I guess we'll see how it holds up, I'm at 32K and going strong.

The GM oil is made by Mobile that's why they sell it too. I'm pissed because they won't identify it as a FA4 or a CK oil. There are a few FA4 oils of proper viscosity for this engine on the market (0-20 is not one).

Warranty Solutions, they have a specific plan call green diesel or something that clearly states it covers ALL diesel components.

I bought the extended warranty to find out it does NOT cover DPF, Cat, and exhaust. These are the things that will fail. I ended up cancelling for a full refund and bought the only extended warranty I could find that covers emissions systems.
