Bought my first chevy diesel , 2001 2500 with Allison. I gather from reading some other posts that the injectors are still under warranty for 7 yrs or 200K ?Mine has only 109,000 so when exactly does this warranty expire ? 12/07 ? Running good right know i just need to know my options if something happens. What other issues do these trucks have? On my old 98 Dodge it was lift pumps which these dont have, right ? Any help appreciated.
The special policy 04039A covers the injectors only for 7 years or 200,000 miles from the Vehicle In Service date. Which ever happens first. What is your VIN? I can tell you your in service date. :)

Wow that was fast, Thanks .So, I'm good until 6/6/08 correct?
Also looks like that is a good truck. Very little warranty work done...
Yea, thats what i thought too, i may have got lucky, Went to Ft.Worth saturday and got it, made the trip home just fine (6hr drive) and got 19 mpg. I was pretty happy with that.The only things i had to do was grease the slip yoke splines and the tensioner is bad, one on order. Runs strong and shifts out good.
No problem. :D

I sent the info to your buisness website e-mail. :)
Ok, I'm about to join the ranks of changed injectors also. My 2001 truck was still running well and getting good mileage but it had developed an idle surge and the injectors had become noisy (like a valve ticking) when accelerating. With 75,000 miles and a little less than a year left on the 7yr/200,000 mile warranty I figured I better get it checked. The tech determined the #5 injector was failing and will replace all the injectors per GM's bulletin. I only have to pay $100 deductable which is not bad for a job that costs several thousand. I'll let you know how it runs after I get it out of the shop today or tomorrow.
NO $100 deductible, per the bulletin. Your warranty that would require the deductible is only for 5 years and 100K miles, and should be gone by now. It's good your dealer is doing all 8 injectors, in accordance with the bulletin, but they aren't supposed to get any money from you for it.Quote:

There are several bulletins that may apply. It will be according the the model year, VIN, and symptoms. They all say the same thing in the end....All 8 injectors at no charge to customer.Quote:

I just bought an '07 Classic. Are the injectors on the '07 covered to the 200k also?

No. The 7/200K warranty only covers LB7's. Yours is an LBZ.Quote:
