1996 chev. 1 ton dually 6.5 diesel, engine automatically shuts off while driving like it's starving for fuel. After reading the following website with the dozens of exact same problems i realized this is an on going problem that chevrolet needs to address. What if we would have had our 4 horses and 3 children with us on a highway and this happened? why are so many of us spending hundreds of dollars trying to find out what the cause is and replacing so many parts when the dealerships are apparently aware of this ongoing problem? http://www.dieseldoctor.com/messageboard/data/119.htmlthere should be a recall on these lift, transfer and fuel pumps and a wire check (to ensure no wires have been destroyed) to prevent a serious disaster.

Motor shuts off at anytime,parked or on highway. The dealers say their is a problem with the design of the injector pumps. This is a very serious problem in that , this vehicle is designed to haul and pull very heavy loads. I continue to have this problem andg. M. Refuses to assist in anyway. I contacted customer assistance and was told that my vehicle is out of warranty and g.m. Is not responsible,even though it was being worked on for this problem before the warranty ran out, actually the mileage went over warranty while it was being repaired. I have tried to explain to them that this vehicle could kill someone ,if the engine shuts down at the wrong time e.g.down hill with travel trailer in tow, crossing a railroad, or any other scenario you may think of. How many unexplained accidents and deaths have occurred due to the design of this injector pump.i am told by many mechanics that the change took place after 1994 and they have had problems with them since.i can not stress enough the importance of this safety issue and would appreciate something being done. I noticed that someone else has the problem and filed a complaint withyour department . Ref , odi id: 814633.
