2002 duramax repeated injector problems
I have a 2002 duramax diesel with problems. At 40,000 miles it lost power and GM found a bad injector so they replaced all eight with the new style that was supposed to be the fix. They told me they would extend my warranty on my engine to 7 years and 200,000 miles which sounded good to me. Today at 80,000 miles I was pulling a 32' trailer and after topping off with fuel 30 miles down the road I noticed my truck cutting out and the oil pressure was running half normal so I stopped by the local dealer and told them what was going on and they said I had probably got ahold of some bad fuel so they charged me $142 for a fuel system check that checked out good and a fuel filter. When I got in the truck and started up it was running the same way. They told me to run it cause I probably had some trash in the lines that needed to be ran out. I was in a hurry so I left and unloaded my pipe and dropped off the trailer. When I got home and checked the oil again I noticed it looked cleaner then earlier and the level was high. I decided to drain it and thats when I realized what was going on. I bet I drained over 5 gallons of oil and diesel mixed out of my crankcase. after adding 10 quarts of oil and starting up my oil pressure was normal. I will be taking it in first thing in the morning. I am wondering though after running 100 miles with deisel in my oil if it damages other components like the turbo or the bearing etc??????????? I will be making them take the $90 for the fuel system check off my $100 deductable or whatever they call it. Has anyone else had these problems with the replacement injectors? I did notice after they replaced the injectors the first time my fuel economy dropped off a couple of miles per gallon. Thanks::( :( :confused:
2002 duramax injector problems
I've been buying fuel at the local fina station. I have added power service to my fuel in the past and just recently change to lucus. The service manager told me today that the 7 year 200,000 mile warranty was added only for the fuel system and that the customer relations guy that told me the warranty was for the entire engine was no longer employed and gave me the wrong info. So now my warranty will expire in August and I am wondering if running 100 miles loaded with about 50/50 diesel oil mixture in my crankcase has damaged something that may show up six months down the road when my warranty is out. I grabbed a oil sample from the crankcase when I drained out the mixture and plan to send it in to see if anything shows up in it. I have it at the dealership now getting repaired. I did tell the service manager I caught an oil sample made him put on the work order diesel in the oil, loss of oil PSI and low fuel economy. Does anyone know if a high concentration of diesel in the oil will harm the Turbo, bearings or rings. Thanks:confused:
