2000-2003 dmax owners injector info

THE BIGPUNN · December 3, 2004

it appears it may of been inevitable, but the 8.1L 8.7-9.2mpg is killin me. i should of gotten a dmax in the first place, ( no "i told you so's please)! anyway, we maybe moving further from the city into the country and the mileage will hurt with the 8.1. we need a big truck to tow the 5er. anyway, i was considering a 2002 sierra or silverado. i want info on how the '02's and older dmax's are doing. especially the injector issue. i probably wont be under any warranty. so any info appreciated. thanks punn.

0lder d-maxs are still great they extended the warranty on

the injectors to 200000 miles have not heard of any other

major problem with the d-max other than that.would not even

second guess buying one in my opinion good luck

I know that this may be off the subject a little, but has GM really fixed the injector problems, I still have heard of people from this and other forums that their 2004 are still plaqued with the injector problems. One person even stated that the only difference between the LB and the LLY was that the LLY just made it easier to change out the faulty injectors.

So is the warranty extended to 200k for only the injectors or other components of the diesel and does this include all Dmax trucks (01-05). I don't know about the '02s but I'm looking at an '01 CCSB with 92k and the service history shows the fuel filter has been replaced twice in the last 5k miles as well as the fuel pump, fuel regulator and the direct fuel injection driver module. Seems abnormal to me but I've heard nothing but good things on the Dmax.

As far as I know that extended injector warranty only covers up to 02 trucks. My 03 was not included yet but have "heard" they do that in stages to balance the cost on paper...
