My truck has the new "duramax" engine in it. And it has had the fuel injectors go out 4 times. I feel like I live at the Chevrolet dealership at times. The bad thing about this engine is when the motor has a problem it shuts down. And if your on a freeway your going to be ran over. It shuts down anywhere at anytime and you cannot start it.
