3.0 duramax problem

[ullose272]

Just had my first issue with my truck. Was pulling my trailer for about 2 hours 2000 lbs maybe, and noticed it was cutting out a little here and there. Came to a stop, sat there idleing for maybe 5 min. Then went to go again, all of a sudden, servce ESC light, service park brake light, and service emision system light, reduced power and was cutting out really bad and really bad shudder feeling. Ideas?

Is DEF level ok? Will go into reduced power mode if low on DEF.

Sounds very similar to what happened to this guy: 

 

 

He got a buyback out of it. Hope it gets addressed accurately for you, OP.

Picked up the truck today, drove about 5 miles and it did the same thing, took it back. [emoji2959]

Truck seems to be fixed. Supposedly a connector issue, kinda makes sense

Hopefully that’s the case. Keep us posted going forward.

Its not fixed, was fine all week, pulled my small trailer to my cabin and it started doing it again. I disconnected and reconnected the ecu plugs and kind move the wiring around a little and went and drove it and it seems fine now. I think it has to do with extra load on the engine and twisting in the chassis causing it to pull on wires or short out.

There were reports of fuse blocks not being properly tightened down. Perhaps your root cause is related? Several guys with gas motors are reporting inability to restart. Seems to be electrical related.

Pulling the trailer home it stsrted doing it again, my thoughts are, when its under more load the engine is twisting causing a short or something. Seems to get worse after/while pulling a grade.

Dang man, I’m sorry. I’m sure it’s so disappointing to spend that kind of money and deal with these problems non stop.
