Duramax problems, I think I'm screwed. Help
« on: June 01, 2015, 04:28:56 PM »
I have diesel poring out from the bottom of my fuel pump, the mechanic cannot see exactly where from. He has done all that he can or wants to do, he has seen some mouse nest but can't find where the diesel is leaking from.  It's all the way against the fire panel.  I died in packwood moving my dad from cowichi, life sucks right now. My truck is stuck in packwood and I really need a good mechanic.  He's going to look one more time but says I probably need to take it to the dealer, looks like I might have to refinance the damn house to pay for this. Anyone know a great mechanic that might have a clue on what to do, or wants to fix it?  Thanks guys.  Way too much on my mind to get these options for our special permit system on paper to give to wdfw when I go witness the draw.  I will try though.  It's an 06 2500 high output engine

Sorry to hear that man.  Hit up Coach with a pm.  He is an absolute magician on all vehicles and is as straight of a shooter as you will ever meet.  He will treat you fair.
It is foolish and wrong to mourn these men.  Rather, we should thank god that such men lived.  -General George S. Patton

The challenge with that is getting it from Packwood to Seattle....

I would post on dieselplace.com/forum in the section that applies to your year of truck. You might get some suggestions to follow up on. I know there are some fuel lines that can have issues in my year of Duramax which is a 2003.

Does it leak while just sitting there.....or when you try and turn it over??  I broke a high pressure line on my dodge once and it dumped diesel everywhere.  It was 100 times worse when I tried to start it.  After I figured it out...it was a really easy fix.  My engine was soaked in diesel and smelled like crap for weeks.

My Uncle has shop in Toledo, would be closer than Seattle. He works on all kinds of vehicles, reasonable rates and Quality work. Marcelo's Auto Repair 1-360-864-6524. Hardest part might be getting it there, but definatley easier than Seattle.

have someone turn it over when you are under the hood.  Make sure to wear glasses and keep your mouth closed.  Turn it over and you will find your leak.  Could be a really easy fix.
