After reading the posts on turbo failure, dpf problems, stumbling on acceleration, etc,etc.

I was wondering are only the pickups having these problems or are the C&C having the same problems too.

Thanks

 

I have sold a whole herd of cab & chassis and they have all been problem free except for one that we had to put a new turbo on.

 

Luke, have you heard of any hesitation, or stumble that's not pertaining to acceleration?? mine sometimes will have a funny hesitation when going downhill like on interstate with the cruise set??? you can kinda feel the throttle rolling in & out? I haven't gotten any of the TSB's done yet either, my dealer is a little slow & thinks I don't need it, says if it's running ok to keep driving it?? what are your thoughts, should I have it done? or leave well enough alone??? thanks, Dusty

 

Hi Luke,

How are the Dodge pickups doing that you have sold?

How are the Duramax LMM's doing that you have sold as a comparison?

Ultimately I think the Dodge pickup will be ahead since they require no further changes to be 2010 compliant.

Thanks in advance.

 

I often have different outlooks on certain issues than a lot of guys on this site, and personally, I'd leave it alone, unless they come out with a TSB that pertains to your exact problem that is. A lot of guys on here a really funny and the minute a new flash comes out the go in and demand their dealer do it wether they are having a problem or not. I don't know, I think old fashioned, but I say if it is not broke don't fix it.

 

We have sold a lot of 6.7's now and have only had one problem with one of the C&C's and that was the one we put a turbo on. If you come to this site and read about the 6.7's you'd think they were the biggest pile of junk there was, but I have sold quite a few and they are all out there running and not giving any trouble. Sold three of them to a pipeline fleet that buy all their trucks from me and the beat they tar out of em and they haven't had any trouble and say the run and pull wonderfully.

As for the LMM Duramax's I will be delivering my first one this week. GM always has this problem of getting the new product to market. I had sold twenty 6.7's before I got my first LMM. I got four or five LMM's here now, but nobody is beating down the door to buy them. We are predominantly a Dodge dealer.

 

Thanks Luke.

Always appreciate your honest replys.

 

I have had a throttle control valve failure on my cab and chassis. It was a intermittent problem that was heck to find until it finally completely failed and set a code. After that it was fixed and I've had no problems since. I also had the dealer where I bought the truck try to put a reflash on the truck that was for a pickup. My DPF was full within 75 miles. It erased the memory in the computer and took a tech at a different dealer a couple of days to figure out what was done to the truck and how to fix it. I haven't had any problems since then and I will go over 60k miles tomorrow. I've also had a module replaced in the Aisin transmission by the dealer that screwed up the attempted reflash so I'm really not sure it was needed as I never noticed any shifting problems at all. Other than that all I've done is drive and change fluids as needed.

 

I have been a superduty powerstroke owner the majority of my small life (owned 4 in the last 6 years.) I have had my share of issues with the 6.0 liter and I religiously maintain my vehicle and drive it right.

Where I live I see nothing but cummins pulling heavy loads, big tractors, big "D" dozers and a light went off in my head to give them a try.

I just bought a 6.7 and have had no problems like I have read on these forums. True, I only have 1500 miles but it seems people are having problems right off the bat....

I will keep every posted on any issues that might arise and what solutions are found... I REALLY DO LIKE MY NEW TRUCK....
