| Description of the problem | I have been having problems with the engine and brakes since i bought this truck. I have had it to the dealer numerous times and they throw parts at it and it does not fix it. At beginning of acceleration there is a dead spot in the throttle and when you push past it slightly you find the vehicle accelerates rapidly and sometimes spins the drive tires. A few days ago i was pulling out into a break in traffic that was more than adequate and the engine started o. K. Then hesitated putting me in danger of being hit by now closely approaching traffic. When i bring the truck to the dealer they try their best to find the problem but can't. They said it was bad turbos and replaced them that did nothing to help, they also said the plug wire boots had tracks on them and the spark plugs were misfiring, all was replaced to no avail. Also when you are driving at city speeds and push the throttle to pass or accelerate in traffic there is a noticeable lag in depressing the throttle and the engine responding. This is also a dangerous problem. I brought the truck in for overly sensitive brakes and i was told by one service writer that the tech found fluid in the booster and another writer said it was assembly lube. They changed the booster but not the master cylinder. |
