I HAVE HAD THIS PICKUP TRUCK FOR ABOUT 3 YEARS AND FROM THE TIME I GOT IT HAS BEEN STALLING DOWN WHILE DRIVING IT. IT JUST SHUTS MY ENGINE OFF W/O ANY WARNING AND I PULL A TRAILER ALOT AND SO FAR I HAVE BEEN LUCKY TO BE ABLE TO COAST OFF ROAD W/O CAUSING ACCIDENT. I AM NOW GOING TO BE ON MY 4TH PMD AS MY LAST ONE JUST QUIT AND MAKES IT HARD TO RESTART DIESEL. I JUST ORDERED ANOTHER PMD. NOT ALL PMD'S WENT BAD THE SAME WAY. THE ONE IN OCT. 2011 CAUSED MY ENGINE TO CONSTANTLY GO TO HIGH RPM'S ABOUT 5K & I HAD TO PUT TRUCK IN NEUTRAL , PULL OFF ROAD AND TURN KEY OFF. I TALKED TO ORIGINAL OWNER AND HE SHOULD ME RECEIPTS FOR SAME PROBLEM AND CHEVY DEALER CHANGED FUEL INJECTION PUMP & PMD THAT COST OVER 2K. THIS IS PROBLEM THAT CAN COST MY LIFE OR OTHER PEOPLE ON THE HIGHWAYS OR ON THE RR TRACKS. I HAVE ABOUT 159,000 MILES NOW. I BOUGHT THIS TRUCK USED AND HAD ABOUT 108,000 MILES & GOING ON 4TH PMD. I LIVE IN FLORIDA AND HOTTER CLIMATES CAUSE MORE PROBLEMS WITH PMD. *TR

TRUCK WITH 6.5 TURBO DIESEL WOULD SPORADICALLY HICCUP AND STALL WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD CAUSING LOSS OF POWER TO OPERATE STEERING AND BRAKES PROPERLY, PUT TRUCK IN NEUTRAL AND ATTEMPT TO RESTART, SOMETIMES IT WOULDN'T FOR SEVERAL MINUTES, OTHER TIMES IT WOULD, REGAINING CONTROL OF THE VEHICLES POWER STEERING AND BRAKES. ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE WOULD HICCUP THEN START ACCELERATING ON IT'S OWN WITH NO WAY TO REGAIN CONTROL WITHOUT TURNING OFF THE IGNITION AND COASTING TO A STOP. SOMETIMES I WOULD NEED TO TRY RESTARTING IT SEVERAL TIMES BECAUSE THE ENGINE WOULD RACE OUT OF CONTROL. I HAVE HAD THE FUEL INJECTION PUMP REPLACED AND SEVERAL PUMP MOUNTED DRIVER MODULES "PMD'S" FROM BOTH STANADYNE AND D TECH WHICH GM HAD AUTHORIZED TO MAKE THESE PARTS FOR THEM. I ALSO HAVE A 1998 CHEVY K3500 WITH THE 6.5 TURBO DIESEL THAT HAS HAD THE SAME PROBLEMS NUMEROUS TIMES. *TR

DRIVERS SIDE SEAT FRAME/BOLT IS BROKEN. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 1995 CHEVROLET K2500. ONE YEAR AFTER THE VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED, IT BEGAN STALLING. SPEED WAS NOT A FACTOR. THE FAILURE OCCURS WITHOUT WARNING WHILE IDLING OR WHILE DRIVING BETWEEN 5-65 MPH. THE MOST RECENT FAILURE OCCURRED ON NOVEMBER 6, 2007. THE CONTACT RECEIVED A SAFETY NOTICE FOR THE FUEL INJECTION PUMP THAT COVERED THE VEHICLE FOR UP TO 120,000 MILES. THE RECALL NUMBER WAS UNAVAILABLE. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 160,000 AND FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 8,000. UPDATED 12/12/2007 *BF UPDATED 12/12/07 *TR

MY 1995 SILVERADO WITH THE 6.5 TURBO SEEMS TO BE HAVE PROBLEMS WITH THE PMD OTHERWISE KNOWN AS THE FSD. THE VEHICLE HAS STALLED GOING DOWN THE FREEWAY ONCE TODAY AND 3 OTHER TIMES, AND STALLED WHILE IN TOWN DRIVING 4 TIMES ALL IN THE LAST 2 WEEKS. STALLING ON THE FREEWAY IS NOT ACCEPTABLE AS HAS PROVEN VERY SCARY. AS THESE TRUCKS DO NOT STEER WELL WITH NO POWER. NOR DO THE BRAKES WORK WELL WHILE IN A STALL. TONIGHT IT WOULD NOT START WHILE AT A BUSINESS. I HAD TO SIT FOR 45 MINUTES WAITING ON A TOW TRUCK. ONLY TO HAVE THE TRUCK START ONCE THE TOW TRUCK ARRIVED. THE FSD APPEARS TO BE THE PROBLEM. MY VEHICLE HAS 107,030K MILES ON IT. THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM WITH GM DIESEL PICKUPS. WHY HASN'T GM REPAIRED OR RECALLED THIS BAD DESIGN? I HAVE BEEN READING VARIOUS CHAT ROOM BOARDS TONIGHT FINDING THIS IS A BAD PROBLEM THAT HAS BEEN AROUND FOR SOME TIME. *CB

TIRES WERE INSPECTED AND AIR PRESSURE CHECKED ABOUT 2 HOURS OR 120 MILES BEFORE SEPERATION, NO PROBLEMS WERE FOUND AT THAT TIME. NO WARNING OF ANY TYPE, HANDLING, STEERING, RIDE, OR NOISE, WAS PRESENT PRIOR TO THE MOMENT OF TREAD SEPERATION IN EITHER CASE. *AK (DOT NUMBER: AO11DOA225 TIRESIZE: LT24575R16)

THE FUEL PUMP HAS GONE OUT 4 TIMES IN 125,000 MILES. EVERY DEALER KNOWS WHAT THE PROBLEM IS AND SAYS THEY REPLACE THIS MORETHAN ANYTHING ELSE. OTHER PEOPLE I KNOW CARRY SPARE FUEL PUMPS.
