Has anyone on this forum had their Duramax tow vehicle injector pump to fail from normal use (no programmer on the engine). I bought a 2012 and I am concerned about the expense of letting it fail or going ahead and upgrading to CP3 before the CP4 dies.

yes, last year 2013 Silverado with Duramax. They called it a catastrophic failure; the truck came to an abrupt stop while traveling Nevada hwy. My DH managed to coast our truck & 5er to side of road. We were towed to Reno where cost of repair was 11,000. Fortunately the replacement was covered but left me feeling very vulnerable-wondering what would prevent it from happening again?
What made this more unnerving for me was we had just completed a 6 week trip and at one point traveled over Teton Pass. The thought of that failure happening then still leaves me feeling queasy.
