Defroster design issues

Windshield defroster is a very poor design. Was not tested in ice and snow conditions. Wipers are below where the heater blows on the windshield. Wipers get iced up all the time. HOT air even on high does not reach the far outsides of the windshield when in snowy conditions enough to keep it clear. You have to keep getting out to clear the windshield so you can drive. Very poor for plowing.

Chevy Money PIT

I love my Chevy Silverado 2500 HD Diesel, when it not in the repair shop, Every few months its in the shop, multiple times had to replace almost all 8 fuel injectors, twice had to replace the DEF fluid pump, The most expense thing is replacing the engineer harness's leading to the fluid injectors 4 times, and now the two main harness's going to the main engineer having to replace. GM told my mechanic that the harness's are defected, but no recall on them yet.

New purchase

This is the second day I've owned the vehicle I am impressed with the power and the handling of this truck. Driving it is most comfortable compared to what I trade it in for it

Great vehicle that seats 6 comfortably!

This truck gets up to 26 mpg and seats six. When needing to haul anything it does it with ease. Great vehicle for anyone's needs.

Be aware of the Duramax 2018

My truck is a 2018 duramax with 25,000 miles on it. I purchased it brand new. I love this truck but I feel like there might be a manufacture design problem or something going on. While I was driving with my brand new baby girl just 7 weeks old and something started to smell really bad and toxic and it filled the entire truck up with what smelled like diesel fuel fumes. It smells like someone dumped 10 gallons of fuel inside my truck and I can't pull over and It is freezing outside and my baby is getting exposed to this and breathing it in.. The inside of my brand new beautiful truck is poisoning my brand new beautiful daughter and I had to drive for 20 minutes before I could pull over and get some one to pick her up for me. I had to continue driving it to get it home. I have been feeling extremely sick ever since I got out of the truck. My head hurts and I can not think very clearly. I love Chevy trucks, I am a loyal fan and customer. This incident could have killed my daughter and I will be contacting a lawyer just in case. I don't plan on trying to sue or anything like that because Chevrolet is a good company and things do happen, but I expect for them to help me out on this. This happened to me over the weekend and I am going to be waiting for Chevy to contact me next week so I will see how they handle it. I plan on writing at least 50 reviews a day for 6 weeks to try to warn people.

L5P Duramax has no comparisons

I?ve owned Ford and Dodge diesels in the past, nothing compares to the L5P. The truck is comfortable, quiet and has an impressive torque range. Have not had it long enough to gauge mileage, so far it compares to the LML when it was new.

Best truck I've ever owned.

This truck is powerful, comfortable, plenty of leg room up front and in the back. Since it is a high country model, it has all the bells and whistles. Even a heated steering wheel, which I love. Only owned it for a year and will not give it up.
