Gents,

Had a 2002 Duramax that was just fine....sold it when I sold the horses....now looking at a new 2500 crew cab long box...was thinking about another Dmax but I talked to the lead mechanic at the dealership and he just about steered me away from the DMAX because of the DPF. Said if you drive it around town the DPF doesn't really get hot enough to regen properly and you can then get it clogged and it goes into limp mode. Nothing to do but limp to the dealer.

So, it anyone else having any trouble with the DPF? Is this guy right or just full of baloney?

I asked him how many DMAX's he has had DPF trouble with and he got real evasive and said "well, they only beneout for 6 months."

Your thoughts please....

Thanks,
