Known issues on the 2011 Savana 3500. One owner complaint is logged with NHTSA for this model year, and it concerns the fuel and propulsion system. That is the area where this van is least uniform, since the 6.0L V8 can be built to run compressed natural gas or flex fuel and the 6.6L diesel runs on neither. The manual keeps those apart, giving fuel delivery procedures, specifications, torque values and diagnostics for each engine rather than one generic set that fits none of them exactly.
