For once I'd love to see you back up the false info you spew; show me a case or cases of HPFP failing on Gm's.

I will try to sell everybody on the duramax everyday of the week as it is the best powertrain in my opinion, however I don't have blinders. Ill tell anybody straight up to not buy a diesel because it will never cash flow unless you do some serious towing. I also wont hide any problems they have. These pumps are failing on the Duramax engines as well. The reason you dont hear about it is because GM does the right thing and just fixes them. Does GM have as many failures? That I do not know.

Ever hear the saying good news doesn't make good news? Same holds true here. Not very many people get on the interwebby and complain about their pump failing if GM replaces it for them. The people that complain are when it isn't covered. Which is now why everybody you talk to seems to think ford will coid your warrenty if you hang a naked girl from your rearview mirror, and they think GM will fix anything on your vehicle "in good faith" no matter what. Two very out there conclusions but it shows in the publics eye GMs warranty looks good and Fords looks bad.



As for the guy worried about new diesels. They actually are running very very good compared to older years. Fords 6.7 is the best since their 7.3 and the LML duramax is flawless aside from this HPFP issue and the DEF sensor calibration.

This HPFP issue is common, but nothing on a large scale yet. Time will tell. Like I said earlier. Internet research is skewed. People like to complain more than they like to complement when they get on here. Not many start a thread to say thanks for replacing my pump or injectors , they start a thread to complain about them not being covered or failing in the first place. and nobody starts a thread to say "hey my truck has no problems".
