| 2003 GMC SIERRA 2500 HD PICKUP WITH 6.6 DURAMAX LB7 DIESEL ENGINE-TRANSFER CASE | 12Relevance | 5 years ago | AZRIDER1955 | Submit Your Question HERE | |
| Hi, Scotty.. am a big fan. Watch your show more than Netflix! I am having an issue with my above mentioned vehicle and I trust your experience and expertise to put me in the right direction. I noticed a clunk with the truck, when sitting at a light lets say, when I release the brake pedal and then put on the gas. I originally thought it was a brake issue and had the brakes totally redone with new rotors but did not fix, so that wasn't the problem. So, now I checked for u joint issues. No nothing there but did notice some slop in the driveshaft, where it comes out of the transfer case. Took to local mechanic and the did find shavings in the transfer case fluid. I have no codes on my DIC. Do I assume I need a complete transfer case overhaul? I have not had any issues shifting or driving. No noises coming from underneath the vehicle? Just the periodic annoying clunk which like I say. Note the truck has 223,000 miles and only towed a 5th wheel the 1st 4 years of it's life seasonally.. so she really never has worked per se. In fact the 1st set of brakes ever were just put on a month ago. Any thoughts? Thanks for your time taken. AZRider1955 | |||||

| Called temperature will often effect 2 things. Hwin you could have a bad gasket or faq you hoes that want to get cold leaks and sucks air from being more brittle. Or 2 you could have a problem with the temperature sending sensor not giving the right temperature to the computer so it can't compensate for the cold | |||||

| Buy the new Ford 7.3 big block or the 6.7 powerstroke, way better than a Chevrolet. If you want a reliable diesel buy a 7.3 powerstroke for a 5.9 cummins | |||||

| My asnwer would the 6.2L v8. More reliable to have, easier to work on and parts are cheaper and more readily available. My expert opinion would be to get the 2500HD with a diesel to tow properly. Now the best advice is to get a Ford F150 with the V8 option, forget ecoboost baloney. Get the F150 and never look back | |||||

| Answer to: What would be the most reliable full size suv? | 11Relevance | 2 years ago | Dad2LM2 | Submit Your Question HERE | |
| You left out the correct answer, which is the GM 3.0L duramax, which is available in the Suburban and Yukon. It has its faults, for sure, and diesel is not everyone’s cup of tea. It also has only been out 5 years. So long term reliability is still TBD. But so far it is building a good reputation. (Full disclosure, I have it in a Sierra. 55,000 miles so far with no trouble). But of course the real correct answer is: whichever one you maintain properly. And by properly, I mean actual properly. Change the oil every 5000 miles, not just whenever the mes ... | |||||

| Best 1-ton pickup for 2024? | 11Relevance | 2 years ago | LRClark | Submit Your Question HERE | |
| Scotty: I have a 2012 Chevrolet Silverado 3500 dually with a 6.6 duramax Diesel and Allison Transmission. It has 110,000 miles. Aside from replacing the glow plugs and the DEF system (under warranty), with routine maintenance I have been very happy with the reliability and performance of the vehicle. We use it primarily to tow our 38-foot 5th wheel. My question is: If I was going to buy a new tow vehicle this year (which I am not), what is the most reliable 1-ton truck (engine, transmission, etc.) for 2024? Thanks, Lance | |||||

| I agree with @scottykilmer on the ecodiesel. Long term reliability with those has been quite poor. However: I don’t have any personal experience with them, but I did do a little research on them when I bought my 3L duramax in 2022. Most of the problems with the ecodiesel come from inadequate maintenance. They are very fussy for a diesel (not bulletproof like, say, an old 7.3 Powerstroke). They must be maintained ah-gressively! Don’t follow the owners manual or trip computer for maintenance, but do this: oil and filter every 5000 miles, no matter what ... | |||||

| Towing rules out all the mid sizers. Less than 6-8000 pounds towing, I’d get the Tundra or the GM 3.0 duramax. More than that and I’d get a heavy duty truck (which one is a tough call) | |||||
