5,000 miles and my truck is running great!!!!!
#17
Over 5,700 miles for me, and no problems, no reflashes. Mine tows great too! I have been debating about doing any flash updates. I picked up my truck in March of this year, and other than an optional, free oil change, I have never been back to my dealer.

A little over 5000 miles lots of mods for a 6.7 not one trip to the dealer. I think all of the flashes have changed the problems with the emmissions. You shouldnt expect to by a new truck with a new engine and emmissions and expect to have no problems at. But it is nice when it happens.
?????????????? when we pay over 40,000 dollars for one of these trucks i expect that a percentage of that money is going to pay their engineers--research and development and ground testing.
they should be road worthy when the customer takes delivery. An occasional oversight is one thing but major engineering flaws are unacceptable ( IE: air conditioning in 06"s vp44 and lift pumps in the second generation's ect. 06 unfused trailer wiring)

But we should expect some little things here and there. I disagree with people that say it is the lsd.

I have 17K on my personal truck (2500 6.7 with revision B flash) and NO PROBLEMS!!! (other than poor mileage!)
I have a 6.7 company truck Cab and chassis and it has 31K and is now in the shop for its 4th DPF!
Personally, I think that the majority of the problems are fuel related.
Change the Fuel filter EVERY 15K.For the $16.00 I'm doing mine every 2 oil change and the longest I go between changes is 5K

I am coming up on 3K and I must say that I do love my first diesel. I have had two problems. The first was the turbo had to be replaced at 500 miles, they think it was a bad bearing when it was built. The dealership took care of this promptly and had me back in the truck in 4 days. The longest part was waiting for the turbo to come (two days). The second was a check engine light at 2500 that cleared itself, so I guess you could say that it was not a problem. I LOVE the way this truck pulls my TT.

4200 miles here no problems, no flash or codes since recieved 06/01/07. Other than codes generated by me checking things over.
Also, I may have to adjust the valve train, at start-up the valve lash sounds excessive. After it comes up to temperature it does seem to quiet some. Will pop the cover and run a feeler guage over it this weekend.
Love the truck tons of power!

X2...exactly the same scenario .

Running great!!! 7700 miles with oil changes at 2000 and 7000. No problems at all. Fuel mileage couild be a bit better, however it seems to be improving. Ran 400 miles this weekend at 70-75 mph and hand calced at slightly over 17. I had the opportunity to put a couple hundred miles on a friends Duramax while driving him on his antelope hunt. Only thing I would trade for is that allison tranny.
