Buyer beware, CNG

[CNGTruck]

I own a 2015 Silverado 3500 HD with the dual fuel CNG option.  it appears GM has stopped making parts for the CNG side of the truck.  I have been fighting with GM for 18 months trying to get my truck fixed, haven't been able to switch to CNG for that time.  They have told me several times they are done trying to fix my truck, but I have been pretty persistent, and they are still looking for the part.  If you're wondering they are supposed to provide parts for all their products for 10 years but have made the decision apparently to violate that on this model.  If you own one of these trucks, I'd be interested in your experiences with it.  Truck was fine until it needed repairs.

Time to take them to court. It's straight up illegal for them to not make parts.

I work for a gas utility, we still have several of these trucks.  The CNG parts were sourced from Impco Technologies, you may try contacting them directly.  What parts do you need?

10 years is a wives tale.  There is no law stating that OEMs MUST produce parts for 10 years.

GM discontinued their support.  Plain and simple.  Its also quite likely GM stopped becuase their supplier might have stopped producing the parts.

 

CKMan's suggestion of trying the CNG supplier GM used for parts, or finding used parts is your only real option here.

Nope.  No laws.  They can stop making them any time they want to technically, or after those vehicles are no longer under warranty.
