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.

    • Truly sorry to hear that duffman! I know that feeling.  Keep the good memories  
    • Chamois passed away this weekend a couple days short of her 13th bday. What a great dog to hang out with here at home and on distant adventures. Gonna miss ya big time my little big girl.
    • Sounds pretty sweet, alright. I will check them out, thanks.
    • If you really want to treat your wife (and yourself) with a remote operated trolling motor, the Minn Kota Ulterra is about easy as it gets.  Auto stow and deploy is pretty awesome.  You just have to turn the motor on when you go out and that the last time you have to touch it.   24V 80lb.  60 inch shaft is probably the right length for your boat.  They ain’t cheap - about $3k - but neither one of you would have to leave your seat to use it all day.
    • Wanderer, thanks for your reply. I do intend for it to be 24 volt, with a thrust of 70-80. Spot lock is a must (my wife is looking forward to not being the anchor person any more).  With my old boat we did quite a lot of pulling shad raps and hot n tots, using the trolling motor. Unlikely that we will fish in whitecaps, did plenty of that when I was younger. I also need a wireless remote, not going back to a foot pedal. We do a fair amount of bobber fishing. I don't think I will bother with a depth finder on the trolling motor. I am leaning toward moving my Garmin depth finder from my old boat to the new one, just because I am so used to it and it works well for me. I am 70 years old and kinda set in my ways...
    • Dang, new content and now answers.   First, congrats on the new boat!   My recommendation is to get the most thrust you can in 24V, assuming a boat that size isn’t running 36V.  80 might be tops?  I’m partial to MinnKota.     How do you plan to use the trolling motor is an important question too.     All weather or just nice weather?   Casting a lot or bait dragging?   Bobber or panfish fishing?   Spot lock?  Networked with depth finders?  What brand of depth finders?
    • We have bought a new boat, which we will be picking up this spring. It is an Alumacraft Competitor 165 sport with a 90 horse Yamaha motor. I will be buying and installing a trolling motor,  wondering if I can get some recommendations on what pound thrust I will want for this boat?  Also, I will be selling my old boat, is there a good way to determine the value on an older boat ( mid-80's with a 75 horse 2-stroke  Mariner motor)  I will appreciate any help with these questions.
