My '14 LML kept starting and then cutting out. Checked the primer and it seemed to be pretty tight(hard to push down). I have 80% fuel filter life remaining. Feel like I just replaced it. Truck has almost 42k miles on her and I'm about to make the last payment on her. After a bit of turning the engine over she'll start and be good for the day.

This started happening daily so I ripped the fender liner off or unfastened it and opened up the fuel/water separator. Let it drain, primed the filter again and she's been running good since.

I did read that some were having random issues with this and actually replaced filters, primer o rings or even the fuel filter housing.

This is my 3rd Duramax and never had this happen before. It was a easy solution if it's a permanent fix.

And...when you deleting and tuning?

Talk to us!

HA! Took my wife to Sig Sauer Academy today for Handgun 101....her for the intended purpose, me to get a piece of paper to prove to a couple states that I'm not an idiot. (can't believe it only takes one piece of paper...oh well. what they don't know......)

I'll be calling and hopefully taking the truck in tomorrow. I'm assuming it won't take two weeks for them to figure out the problem this time. I'll start the purchasing process once I get the truck back. I will keep everyone appraised as things happen :)

I don't have an existing autocal...hopefully that will save me some headaches even though it will cost me more money :)

It might be a little bit more than an autocal, but take a look at EZlynk

Yeah, I was drooling over one. In the grand scheme, I saved $350 having my own Autocal, and what?...$799 I think for an EZLink? If i had to start over, I would get the EZLink

Definitely, if I was starting from scratch, I'd have gone with the EZlynk... Though, unless you relocate the stock pyro when installing a downpipe that isn't bunged for it... No more pyro, lol.

But cloud access for tunes is pretty nice.
