They're cool for normal use; I've had my 03 DMax 4x4 for almost seven years now; I replaced most the front end suspension, bushings, tierods, bearings, joints, etc as a precaution about two years back; they weren't making noise and there weren't any vibrations; just seemed like a good time. I think it was at 68K miles when I did it. Still runs like a champ. Not my daily driver though.

(in city driving) recently the last two days my mileage counter is telling me 27.8 L/100 Km ...id usually get roughly avarage 20L/100 km. ive been filling up from gas light to 1/4 tank or half tank( moneys tight haha) just trying to get perspective from another dmax driver thanks

Might need to change the fuel filter/s. I had a bad injector once that was hazing (not opening and closing properly) but the only way to tel which one is to have it hooked up to a diagnostic machine unless you just replace them all. Could also be the fuel pressure regulator...but again needs to be plugged up to a machine to tell if it's bad. Shouldn't be anything serious if it's running reasonably smooth...my dad also has one he bought in 2002...no turbo issues or anything like that; his has over 500K miles on it.

And this comes from someone who has driven all 3 major manufacturers trucks and currently owns an older Duramax (the one advantage of the GMC, stock it will fit through a garage door). But I do know from experience, the GM drive train is weaker then the Ford, and the Duramax only outshines the Cummins because Dodge can't build a decent truck to the Cummins in. GM only has the best Transmission of the 3.

@NorthernMoose Allison, AAM axles, frame (now fully boxed). I will stop there for now, everyone likes to point out that IFS is weak, and possibly when it come to "offroading" it lacks, but these "weakness" are easy to fix and cheaper than an engine or trans which would be replaced in other trucks. And the fact is that these trucks (even Ford and Dodge) were meant more for on road use anyway. For towing (which is what these are meant for), IFS is far more benefical than a solid axle anyway.

@NickLTR Well its because when the trucks in four wheel drive; they're pulling and chewing as much as possible trying to pull the truck forward. With enough power and torque, the tie-rods will start to bend, twist and eventually break the tie rods because as your pulling forwards the front tires will just naturally try and pull inwards. Usually the inside breaks as thats where you can get movement and adjustability out of the tie rod. Thats exactly where the tie rod sleeve come into place.

Sorry man. This is wrong. Unless u use your truck strictly as a car, straight axles are 10x better. IFS sucks for off-roading and towing. That's what a truck is designed to do. IFS is for cars. Look under any serious off-road machine. Straight axle. Look under any serious towing rig. Like a kW or peterbilt. Straight axle. It's sad because Chevy would have a much better truck if they built them with straight axles. I own a 2013 Silverado. IFS just can't Handel the wait a straight axle can. IFS also can't articulate or Handel the shear power and torque a straight axle can. IFS in general is much weaker than a straight axle design.

A tie rod end, which are a major component of the steering system, the final link from your steering wheel to your front spindle, broke so you can no longer steer one of the tires in your front end and if you continue to throttle it, which caused it to break in the first place, the power you're putting to the ground steers it away from whichever side of the tire has more traction

These numbers are overall numbers though, so they include diesel and gas, in the diesel only market I believe you will find a different story, which I was referring to in my last post.

GM used a Detroit 6.5, which was terrible compared to the Cummins and 7.3. Took them 12 years to figure out how to get on the level of Ford, and Mopar.

judging by the different angles, and sunlight. I'd say this was over a week's worth of trying to find ONLY GM truck incidents at a Full Pull show. Bet you there were more Toyotas failing or none competin at all and Dodge and Ford breakdowns too!

I think trucks were made better back in the 70's & 80's....they were built to last better / built tougher to withstand whatever was thrown their way.

They make a million tie rod upgrades, it's better than the junk diesels Ford has been putting out for the last 10 years.

Billet sleeves run about 200 bucks that solves the problem. Every vehicle has its weak points.

Isnt there some aftermarket steering components to correct this? I know the stock tie rods are good for stock power output but after you bolt on some more power they really start showing their weakness.

Not to mention EVERY truck in this vid had a lift kit with larger tires... I am so sick of the gm bashing because of the week tie rods.. BIG deal its a 250 dollar fix for bulletproof tie rods. Or a 100 bucks for sleeves that will solve the problem as well.. Duramax Powerstroke Cummins, they all have there ups and downs. Ford has turbo and erg problems with the 6.0, the 6.4 has head and turbo issues, cummins is in a dodge with the same trans that the hemis get which is a major weak point

Please tell me that the 2015 Chevies don't have this same front suspension design.

Tie rods are an easy fix but, what is hard to fix is when your whole truck is shit (cough cough ford and dodge). Chevy rules and that's why they control the light diesel market.
