THE ONE IN OCT. 2011 CAUSED MY ENGINE TO CONSTANTLY GO TO HIGH RPM'S ABOUT 5K & I HAD TO PUT TRUCK IN NEUTRAL , PULL OFF ROAD AND TURN KEY OFF.

MY 1995 SILVERADO WITH THE 6.5 TURBO SEEMS TO BE HAVE PROBLEMS WITH THE PMD OTHERWISE KNOWN AS THE FSD. THE VEHICLE HAS STALLED GOING DOWN THE FREEWAY ONCE TODAY AND 3 OTHER TIMES, AND STALLED WHILE IN TOWN DRIVING 4 TIMES ALL IN THE LAST 2 WEEKS. STALLING ON THE FREEWAY IS NOT ACCEPTABLE AS HAS PROVEN VERY SCARY. AS THESE TRUCKS DO NOT STEER WELL WITH NO POWER. NOR DO THE BRAKES WORK WELL WHILE IN A STALL. TONIGHT IT WOULD NOT START WHILE AT A BUSINESS. I HAD TO SIT FOR 45 MINUTES WAITING ON A TOW TRUCK. ONLY TO HAVE THE TRUCK START ONCE THE TOW TRUCK ARRIVED. THE FSD APPEARS TO BE THE PROBLEM. MY VEHICLE HAS 107,030K MILES ON IT. THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM WITH GM DIESEL PICKUPS. WHY HASN'T GM REPAIRED OR RECALLED THIS BAD DESIGN? I HAVE BEEN READING VARIOUS CHAT ROOM BOARDS TONIGHT FINDING THIS IS A BAD PROBLEM THAT HAS BEEN AROUND FOR SOME TIME. *CB
