Computer issue

[evan0810]

We were heading to Asheville, NC is December in our K3500 DRW Duramx Silverado. We were about 1 mi down the interstate when a message saying something about "reduced performance" appeared on the DIC and it felt like the engine quit running. I pulled over and the truck wouldn't run over 40 mph so I limped it back home. The message said something about changing the fuel filter even tho it had over 50% filter life left the day before. I changed the fuel filter (which wasn't fun) and the engine ran for 15sec and quit. Wouldn't restart. Had it towed to dealer and drove my wife's 2-wheel drive car. The next day Asheville got 17" of snow. I could have chewed roofing nails because my big 4-wheel drive truck was sitting at the dealer. I'm just glad we didn't have the 5er behind us as I wanted to tow when we first planned the trip. As it turned out, the computer had to be completely reprogrammed. Not sure what was the cause (no aftermarket goodies). I know this isn't a Duramax issue per se, but has anyone else had a similar experience?

I'm sorry for your trouble. I would not have imagined that the ECM on your D-Max would loose its programming. I'm still trying to figure that one out!
