I have a Duramax 6.6 in my one ton '02 Silverado, it has about 90k on it. Late in '06 I had to have all fuel injectors replaced due to them sticking open at high altitudes. I also had the fuel tank cleaned out and replaced the fuel filter. My problem is:
When the temp outside is around freezing or below my truck will start, in about 10 seconds it loses its prime and will not start without priming it several times, sometimes one prime, other times 5 or 6 primes. It will start and run normally afterwards, I have only experienced this in cold weather, starts excellent when it is warm outside. I have had it scanned and found no codes in it. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
BTW- Chevrolet covered the costs of my fuel injectors, it had about 82k when I replaced the injectors......According to Chevrolet, the injectors and labor are covered for 200,000 miles, no time limit!! I left from there $89 lighter, for cleaning out the tank and the price of the fuel filter! I was quite pleased, however, they did not cover my $600 tow bill! :shock:
