Filled up at the local Shell. $67 Truck was running flawless prior to this fill up then 12 miles after the fillup the thing was bucking like a bronco idling and running rough. No low end power but still had high end power. It finally stalled and couldn't get started. Big brand new truck with flashers on in the middle of the road blocking traffic....what an embarrasment. Towed to stealer and removed the bullydog program. Of course stealer has no diesel tech and not sure when one will start.

You need to look at your reciept and make sure you put Diesel in it and not Gas. If that is not the case you probably got water. I would go back to the pump you filled up at and take a sample right out of the pump. It could cost you a lot of money if you got a bunch of water. GM will not cover it under warranty. You will have to try to prove the gas station is at fault.

Not trying to scare you but since you just filled up that is more likely the cause.

I may be dumb sometimes but...to answer your question it was filled up with diesel. I have my receipts... pump stops at $50 bucks and I have to put the credit card back in to fill it up. I am calling the station now.

they weren't filling the gas station tanks while you were there were they?? that usually gets all the trash up to the top and gets in your tank. I'd check the filter first thing..

You may want to try Connell Chevy. I don't think their service department is open on Saturday. I have been having injector issues, and they are providing me Stanadyne for each fill up for the first 6K miles. Who did your lift and how does it ride?

Outlaw Offroad in Lake Forest did the lift. The RCD is the best for this truck. I love ride much better than stock. Bigger tires and better shocks makes the difference. Here are some pics of the lift
