Good news is I picked up the new LBZ today - bad news its it broke down 5 minutes later! First went to pick it up and it was hard starting, would start, spuder then die. Finally started, the pedal seemed to really do nothing, held it to the floor & it didn't change the RPM's (I know the GAS GM's call this reduced engine power), but it didn't give me any sort of message. Finally starts & seem to idle. I get to work, it won't start again. Starts, dies - starts again & I let it idle. Go to leave, put it in drive & it says something like "shift indicator inhibited". Put it in Neutral, then back & drive & it goes out. Drive it down the road & im' stuck in either 2nd or 3rd gear - won't shift like its in limp mode or something (like it had a bad shift indicator? did one in my last truck). Shut the truck off, put it in park & now it shifts fine. Truck has a check engine light on "U0101" that comes back to lost communication with the TCM.

Other than that, whoa boy does that turbo sing!

HELP! I like the truck but this sucks
