| I have a duramax diesel engine. i experienced the injectors failed causing my fuel to mix with the oil in my crankcase which caused my motor to seize. gm has stated that the injectors did fail but will not fix the other damage that was caused by the injector failure. i received a letter from gm last year letting all duramax owners know of this exact problem. the letter said 'don't do anything unless they fail. well they failed and gm will not fix my engine. they want to replace it to a tune of $13,000 to me!!!!!! please help me. i have talked to many other duramax owners who have experienced the same engine failure. *tr | |||
