So my dads truck, NOT the one listed in my sig, is a 07.5 chevy, it's completely stock. I Noticed the other day that the tailpipe had soot in it. and when my brother was pulling a trailer off the yard i noticed it puff a little black smoke. Shortly after dad got the "clean exhaust filter" and after a run down the highway fixed that but the check engine light stayed on. Took it to the dealer and they said a plugged air filter was the problem. That didn't sound convincing to me. Any thoughts?



I will note too that a few weeks ago, my brother was pulling a goosneck flatbed loaded up and the check engine light came on. Onstar was called and he was told the turbo had overspeeded itself. but since then that hasn't seemed to be an issue.

I don't have to try very hard to convince my dad to huck the piece of crap in the garbage, but it's on warranty until next spring...it'll be gone in a week after that. He's fed up with it...until then though...
