I received notice of recall t51 after being made aware of the issue ~ september 2017. Since that time i have made multiple (lost track) requests for service. The last one i was told there are over 100 on the list "in front of me" and that with their allocation of 2-3 per week it'll be "over a year" until i am able to get the parts required to complete the recall. This is totally unacceptable. The recall is for a…

Dead peddle, very slow response time when trying to accelerate from a dead stop or trying to leave a parking spot. It can take up to 8 seconds for the truck to really get going. Very dangerous, almost got hit a few times with my family in the truck. Have to learn how to drive this truck, need to give twice the distance to cut across traffic. When you use the go peddle it should respond. Worse cummins i ever owned to…

My truck has raw burning diesel exhaust coming in the air vents on the dash that poisoned my family for an entire year before we were aware of the problem. You can smell the solvent/spray paint type smell 100 foot diameter on a calm day. Parked 99% since may 5th because 1 dealership says its unsafe to drive and the other refuses to document the problem. It is now being towed to a third dealership. My son and i had…

On 6.7l cummins diesel there can be an unpredictably long ( up to 2 second) delay between when the accelerator is pressed and when the truck actually begins to accelerate. This is not turbo lag (which may limit the amount of power until the turbo spools up). This is not a stumble. This is an actual delay in the computer applying fuel to the engine. It is total dead time as if the accelerator was not pressed at all.…

Dead pedal on cummins diesel engine. If accelerating then let off the accelerator pedal, then press it again, there will be a momentary "dead pedal" for several seconds or more where no engine power is applied. The harder you press the pedal the second time (i.e., the more you need the power), the worse it is. I have experienced this when trying to merge in heavy traffic, when crossing intersections, and other times…
