Hello,
I am new to the forum and I apologize if this is an old and worn issue.....I have a 2002 Duramax with 69,000 miles. To make the story brief, the vehicle had been running well until yesterday when for several reasons I began to suspect that there was fuel in the crankcase. I drained five gallons (!) of fuel/oil out. The truck is now at my dealership, having been towed there. I am told the immediate problem is covered by an extended warranty on the injector system. I am also led to believe that this is not an uncommon problem with Duramax as the age. My question concerns the future....I have no idea how long I have been running diluted fuel in the crankcase. What does this portend for the future? Bearings, seals and who knows what. Are there suggestions as to what to do from here?
Thanks for your advice,
Craig
