What owners wrote
While driving the engine dies. When taken to a chevrolet dealership the fuel injection pump was found to be faulty. GM dealers have not been able to diagnose what the problem is. The truck has been brought to the GM dealer 4 times.
It is a well known fact that there is a defect with the fuel injection pump on the GM 6.5l diesel engines. I have had a number of these pumps replaced by GM at their cost. However, the problem is not getting resolved. These vehicles die intermittently. When they die (stall), you loose your ability to control your vehicle with the loss of steering and braking (for the most part). There have been numerous times when I have almost been involved in an accident because of this issue.
