GM diesel techs?

[elliottw]

Anybody else work at a dealer? It would be nice to talk to some other mechanics that have to deal with this tier 4 stuff all day and talk trash about engineers together.

The millions are all yours if you can design a better system at equal or less cost. The engineers are not the limiting factor.

Tier 4 is a joke, it doesn't matter which platform (ford Chevy dodge) this was more of a callout to any techs that have to suffer working on them so we can help each other out on ghost issues.

Was at a GM dealer for 7 years. Really bad when 80% of the repairs coming through are emission equipment failures.

Same here, half the techs would be out of a job if it wasn't for emissions equipment

If the Duramax had a factory lift pump and no emissions equipment my days would just consist of LB7 injectors, FPRV's, and the occasional water pump lol.

What are the emissions issues. I don't frequent any other duramax-specific sites with many stock trucks to really ever hear about the epidemic of emissions equipment issues. An overwhelming majority of them are deleted on most of the forums I frequent.

I could type a bible on this pickup I'm working on right now. Long story short I installed 3 brand new def tanks that we're all faulty. Thanks dude who assembles tanks.

Lots of nox sensors, dpf pressure sensors, failed def heaters, leaking def injectors, leaking 9th fuel injectors. Plugged dpfs so bad they can't regen enough to clean, bad egr recirculation valves(those are horrible)

And here I wanted a stock lml to just leave alone and drive.

Hey now, lets no beat up on engineers, usually the design is great till upper management comes in and manages the logic right out of things.
