I am aware of the head gasket issue but have heard and read about several others.
But all have been from other wrenchs not owners of the NS motor. Mine has 114k and runs great I performed a block test before buying the car. Motor is free leak ( at this time) . Just looking for common things that gone wrong.

I work at a GM dealer so I plan on checking for updates and such but being that it is so old it may not be online on our system. Been to busy fixing those Dura max engines :annoyed: , To check for recalls.

I do not work on them very often ( cadillac)and when I do it is very minor things like brakes or some small trim items to get it ready for re-sale.

Thanks

wait... whats wrong with the durmax motor. I have a friend who swears by them and i still think they are junk (i'm a ford guy by nature). but whats wrong with them?

on commom "problem" is the half-case seal leaking and the high oil consumption that GM claims in perfectly normal.

They have injector woes, high oil usage :bonkers: Among the other dozen little things that go wrong. I get to work on them on a daily basis I would not take on if you gave it to me. It is better than the older model I guess... Dont get me wrong not starting a pissing contest with DM owners if there are ony here and you like them great,.... keep them. I too drive a ford truck a 03 SD 250 CC 4X4 with the PS motor. LOVE it no problems runs great, did I mention that it has been problem free?

Gm has some growing pains with it I hope they get it right fast, as warranty time SUCKS.


Back to my question any thing I should keep a eye out for??

I am aware of the head gasket issue
