Very odd. A Google search comes back with lots of "Duramax" hits . The code is: "Fuel System Leak Detected - Large Leak"Some fixes that I found were replacing the fuel filter, others changed the FPRV (Fuel pump return valve?) When you're pulling a trailer there is a much greater load (air resistance) even when just cruising. Empty or fully loaded, it's mass won't matter, it's the extra fuel required at every phase of your drive. If the fuel filter is getting clogged, it's possible that some sensor is showing a pressure that is beyond predetermined limits. Try the fuel filter replacement first to see if that fixes it.

I doubt we can be of much help long distance. If I were the mechanic, I would be checking the injectors among other things. Fuel in the tank could also be the problem, or the fuel filter.

Mine was in the wheel the contactee that turns back and forth had just enough wear that it didn't always have contact might check that real close

The best way is with a scan tool, but you can disconnect the negative battery cable For a few minutes ! Do you have a check engine light on ? Even if you clear the codes the light will come back on if there is still a problem !

does the starer click when u turn the key,u could have a bad ground from the batt to the body

How do you remove the face of the radio to get to the bulbs?

The easiest way I found is..have someone with a conductive electrical tester or timing light.i prefer the timing light..Just clamp it over the wire coming fro the coil and plug .Then start your car or if it won't start turn the engine over a fastest speed it can..point the timing light to the under hood or where the light will show..if it blinks as the engine is turning it is working if not it is bad..good luck.

Sounds like the reverse band or servo has gone out. Transmission shop needed for a confirmation.

There was a tsb on this issue affecting your vehicle as well as suburbans. Their recommendation was to replace the bulb socket.

blue smoe is the sign of burning oli. it ban be rings or valve seals

Hi roger-dodger,here's a link to your starter,you will have to stroll down more than half way to get to the 6.6 diesel engine,

1. Disconnect both battery negative cables. 2. Raise the vehicle. Refer to Lifting and Jacking the Vehicle. 3. Remove the right front tire and wheel. Refer to Tire and Wheel Removal and Installation in Tires and Wheels. 4. Remove the right front fender wheelhouse inner panel (1). 5. Disconnect the turbocharger exhaust pipe. 6. Remove the battery positive cable from the starter motor. 7. Remove the solenoid wires. 8. Remove the starter motor bolts. 9. Remove the starter motor assembly.

Well there are quite a few things that casue a "surge" in a common rail diesel. You will need to check injector flow rates (scanner only). Fuel pressure regulator for pulsing (scanner only). Supply side fuel system for air leaks (seeing if it is sucking air into the system).
My bet would be the injectors, because you say the rpms aren't going up and down, which is usally what happens when the regulator goes bad, and when you **** air into the supply they have an extended crank. Report back with your findings.

If you have an owners manual it explains it in there.. I have a 2002 Chevy express van and you have to turn the key to the on position ( do not start). fully depress the accelerater twice then start the engine. this turns the oil light off in my van. ( this was in my owners manual)
