2016 Chevrolet Silverado 2500 HD

Reliability tier: verified - see /disclosure/

Engine: 6.6L Duramax LML (Duramax, 6.6L)

Bosch CP4.2 high-pressure pump (the only Duramax generation with a CP4 - the contamination-prone pump the L5P's Denso HP4 replaced), 29,000 psi piezo injectors, first Duramax with DEF/SCR aftertreatment (5.3-gal DEF tank, DPF retained), Garrett VVT turbo; Allison 1000 6-speed behind the diesel (context only - engine platform). B20 biodiesel-capable.

Platform recipes (4)

• Bosch CP4.2 contamination repair for the LML (mode fm-lml-cp4-pump-failure): the pump's roller wears through and floods the high-pressure circuit with metal
• DEF subsystem repair for the LML (mode fm-lml-def-system) - the first DEF/SCR Duramax, and the early years carry the heaviest complaint load
• Low-pressure fuel system health for the LML (mode fm-lml-cp4-pump-failure's prevention side and fm-lml-injector-failure): the LML has an in-tank lift pump feeding the CP4, and a rail relief valve that opens under overpressure
• Cold-start repair for the LML (mode fm-lml-glow-plug): glow plugs fail open with age and the control module's drivers fail with or without plug faults
