Here is the first post that started it.
"Wife & I are out in BFE, enjoying a long deserved vacation with the horses and catching fish. Max temp is 78 coolest in the low 40's. Elk everywhere & fishing is great (Caught about 50 in 3 hours at Reservation Lake one day), nary a cloud in the sky. The wine was cool, the beer was cold, the flies were minimal, and the stars were terrific. What few people we met were horse people or fishers. What's wrong with this picture, I kept asking myself?
Then it happened - - - Injectors? no. Water pump? no. Fuel pump? no. Tranny or NBSU failure? No. The last thing I would ever have thought ---- Low Washer Fluid warning!! I am just beside myself! What the devil is a guy to do? I mean with all the failures that these Duramax's are famous for, and now this! I swear, I am ready to just bag it all & fetch another tall cool one so I can clear my mind for the next step.
AND IT JUST GETS WORSE!
Got home last night about midnight. Filled up this morning and discovered that after the trip home pullin 14,500# plus down from NE Arizona I only got 10.2 MPG. I swear I am thinking of going back to the 454 & the 5 speed tranny! Like heck I am!

When is Fred going to post some pics of his truck ? I joined DeiselPlace but still could not access the thread. Also found out that HOOT can no longer post to DieselPlace he was BANNED. He had some good posts over there, I guess they cant stand a CTD owner spreading "cheer".
