LT295/65R20 Two Nitto Grappler G2 which were on the rear of my truck, the internal belts of the tire have separated, causing a buckle of the tire. The separation caused a bouncing rough ride. This is a safety issue when riding the vehicle and I believe eventually it would have blown. The two tires were replaced by Discount Tire under my extended warranty that I purchased with the tires. I did contact Nitto Tire and attempted to have them replace the remaining front tires, I believe they will be separating very soon. Nitto refused to replace the tires, due to the tires being over 5 years old. The tires are not worn and have 11/32âs thread. I believe Nitto has a problem with the tires separating and should be addressed.
Cp4 failure, left me stranded and cost me 11k in repairs. 69k miles on truck 6,427.40$ for the Bosh disaster kit. Plus additional fluids, gaskets, ect that are not included. And 3900$ in labor. This cost me little under 11k. I have full invoice at total performance diesel at 300 west robles ave, Santa Rosa. This really affects my life. And itâs a common thing for the cp4 pump. 7,500$ deposit and 2,698.38$ was my final payment.
When pulling out into busy traffic the TCM quit and lost all power to the wheels. Could not move. Luckily the traffic seen we had a issue and swerved to go around us. We found out later this has been a huge issue for GM with TCM on units like mine. If traffic would not have been paying attention they would have hit us and caused injuries to my family and probably theirs. Glad we were not pulling out onto a highway with high speed traffic.
TCM failed. Vehicle is at the dealership awaiting new part for over three months now. Continue to get extended ETA on the part, latest communication was maybe November before it ships. Last vehicle dealership had took a year for the replacement TCM Vehicle immediately went into âlimp modeâ on highway, was very unsafe because could only go 20-25mph. Confirmed by dealer upon them working on pickup it was the TCM. They, as well as we researched, and found stated that this is widespread problem in 2011-2016 year Duramaxes. We were left vehicleless. We tow trailers for our business and fifth wheel camper for personal use. Very detrimental to our livelihood.

While I was pulling my trailer up a grade on my 2014 Chevy Silverado 2500HD diesel truck, the fuel pump had catastrophic failure resulting in total loss of power. I had to unsafely maneuver to the shoulder of the 10 freeway west near Cabazon, CA and exit the truck near high speed traffic. I was lucky to make it to the shoulder without getting run over by the trucks in the slow lane. Had to wait hours for a tow and now have a roughly $10k repair bill. This is a known issue with the Bosch CP4 fuel pumps that Ford and GM refuse to address. Ram/Stellantis recalled their diesel trucks for 2019 and 2020 using this fuel pump. Dealer has confirmed total failure of the Bosch CP4 high pressure fuel pump as the reason for total loss of power. No warning signs whatsoever, just immediate loss of power while traveling 55 mph.
