Friend has a first year DEF 2500 Duramax and complained long and loud about how there was no dash light or indication of his running out of DEF. In fact, the dealer he bought it from never even told him about needing the stuff. He ran out not too far from home and had to limp to the dealer for about thirty miles. Has GM fixed this yet?
Your friend is part right. There is no warning light, and still isn't. However the Driver Information Center (DIC) displays warnings from the point the vehicle has 1000 miles left on the remaining fluid until it starts limiting top speed. While I can believe the dealer may not have told him about it (my salesman was truck knowledge impaired), he would have found out about it if he bothered to read the owner's manual.
