I bought this truck brand new. I have never had anything wrong with the truck. I use it for hunting/fishing/traveling towing our trailer. Truck has 55k on it. Kept oil change, tranny service etc. Last weekend the check engine came on in the mountains. Stayed on all weekend went off one day on Monday came back on. Call local GM dealer said bring it in. Ran tests and said complete turbo failure. Big job, cab off just to replace turbo. Nox sensor went out as well.
Luckily the truck didn't go into limp mode, that would have sucked.
Reason why I bring this up I have dealt with this before on 08 F450 6.8L almost everything you can think of went wrong with the motor and tranny, cab off repairs, injectors, oil pump, radiator, turbo, bed plate leaks, 2nd oil pump, tranny-headache. Maybe it was because it was the first year of the 6.8L.
Anyhow, GM dealer needs 10-14 days to fix which includes ordering parts and luckily GM is warranting everything. I think it will be time to trade the truck in. I love this truck pulls great. But oh well my Friday vent.

On a good note, you don't have to pull the cab on a Ford to replace the turbo. We keep them in stock if that tells you anything.
:yike:
I can't figure out why it would take 14 days to replace the turbo. That's weird.

As long as you don't think trading it in will make it easier next time a diesel breaks on you, go for it.:yeah:

Yeah your right it was a 6.4L it was built in 2/07. I saw the Ford cab completely off of the truck and tore down to the short block, but that was in 2010. This ford took 14 days to fix at Bickford.
Only reason to make it easier to trade it in is because the warranties will go next year on the chev. :tup:
I don't care if it takes 2 days, 2 hrs or 14 days to fix. Just fix it and I don't have to pay for it.

I have a 2014 2500 4X4 Duramax, I got a recall letter from GM for exhaust fumes in the cab. You may want to ping the dealer on that.
Thanks to everyone for responses
Chevy dealer where truck is at called me today after cold start confirm fuel exhaust leak in the cab. They are replacing clamps and gaskets that are leaking thru a bulletin that Chevy had on the 2013 trucks. I have owned truck since new never received a letter or recall letter on this issue. The dealer wants truck for extra day to confirm exhaust leak is fixed.
