2005 Duramax Smoking


Recommended Posts

I Have a 2005 Duramax that was blowing a little bit of white/blueish smoke 2 years/ 60,000 miles ago. I took it into my local chevy dealer and they changed all the injectors right away. My problem now is it is smoking out of control now, you let it idle for a minute then drive away and I am affraid the people behind me are going to crash into each other due to the smoke. I have taken the truck to the same chevy dealer and they have charged me $277 each time to check the injectors, both times they just said they were a little dirty, but none were failing - so they can't be replaced under warranty? It is smoking 10 times worse this time, but they can't replace them now? They said just run some GM cleaner through them and they should clear up. Well 10 bottles and 5,000 miles later, it has gotten worse. The problem is I only have 17,000 miles left in my warrenty. Do any of you have any suggestions?

I would get a hold of the service manager and have him/her look at it. It sounds like a pretty obvious problem so there shouldn't be a question that something needs to be fixed. Make sure you let them know you did room their recommended actions with no effect.

If they don't want to help get on the phone and go up the ladder from the dealer. Talking to someone at corporate will change attitudes quick!

Sounds like a bad injector to me to, but no luck with the GM dealer. I talked to the service manager and the dealership manager, also with no luck. I am going to have it checked in Green Bay, wi. in september when I go visit the inlaws - it will be interesting if I get a different answer.

    • got this tackled today took about 3 hours to get both sides done. Didnt even get to use a torch....   Thought I was golden with just jacking it up and I could get to everything but no luck. Had to remove the entire axle hub and brake assembly to get to what I needed. Was a pain but still better then taking off the entire pivot arm.    Axle bearings were already greased and in great shape thankfully. Got both leaf springs installed and its ready for the road again.   Probably going to have my electric brakes checked, I am not touching anything with the brake drums. Based on what I saw it doesn't look like my electric brakes have been working anyway. Brakes are nice to have if its slippery out
    • By The way that didn't work either!! Screw it I'll just use the cellular. 
    • It’s done automatically.  You might need an actual person to clear that log in stuff up.   Trash your laptop history if you haven’t tried that already.
    • 😂 yea pretty amazing how b o o b i e s gets flagged, but they can't respond or tell me why I  can't get logged in here on my laptop but I can on my cellular  😪
    • I grilled some brats yesterday, maybe next weekend will the next round...  
    • You got word censored cuz you said        B o o b ies….. haha.   Yeah, no… grilling is on hiatus for a bit.
    • Chicken mine,  melded in Mccormick poultry seasoning for 24 hours.  Grill will get a break till the frigid temps go away!
    • we had some nice weather yesterday and this conundrum was driving me crazy  so I drove up to the house to take another look. I got a bunch of goodies via ups yesterday (cables,  winch ratchet parts, handles, leaf springs etc).   I wanted to make sure the new leaf springs I got fit. I got everything laid out and ready to go. Will be busy this weekend with kids stuff and too cold to fish anyway, but I will try to get back up there again next weekend and get it done. I don't think it will be bad once I get it lifted up.    For anyone in the google verse, the leaf springs are 4 leafs and measure 25 1/4" eye  to eye per Yetti. I didnt want to pay their markup so just got something else comparable rated for the same weight.   I am a first time wheel house owner, this is all new to me. My house didn't come with any handles for the rear cables? I was told this week by someone in the industry that cordless drills do not have enough brake to lower it slow enough and it can damage the cables and the ratchets in the winches.  I put on a handle last night and it is 100% better than using a drill, unfortatenly I found out the hard way lol and will only use the ICNutz to raise the house now.
