I purchased three c-5500 trucks. As of now I have two trucks with failed engines due to previous injector failure. I am currently out of warranty but not before I noticed the engine was making more noise than normal. I was told that it had to be broken before it could be repaired under warranty. That was 60,000 miles ago. Which should not be major mileage for a diesel engine. *Tr

I own 3 chevorlet c-5500 trucks. Two out of the three have had injector failure. After the injector failure the trucks engine seem to be noisier. I have complained about the noise and was told it has to be broken before repairscan be performed under warranty. Now I am out of warranty and have two trucks with major engine damage due to the previous injector failures. *Tr
