[A/S] RE:Diesel parts and Warranty problems??

["Tracey Estevez" <squirrelsaresoft@xxxxxxxxx>]

As for older GMCs....Our diesel 97 GMC 2500HD Sierra 4x4 has gone through 3 
injector pumps...2 on the PO's tab and one on ours... It has the Detroit 
diesel engine, which is known to have that problem. At $1600 a piece 
including labor, that truck will have a For Sale sign on it soon enough. GMC 
knows about this issue and refuses any compensation by saying that the 
engine manufacturer should be responsible since they are independent of each 
other.  Also the auto transmission also has issues that nobody, including 
the dealer, seems to be able to figure out. And yes, everything is way more 
expensive to repair on the diesel.

Hubby wanted a 5-speed, but hasn't been able to find one in our area for 
years. Looks like we'll be towing the A/S to Texas for a Dodge Cummins TD 
6-spd where they're a dime a dozen. That is , if the GMC tranny doesn't poop 
out on us first!
