  1. on my 2.7 it was where the exhaust attaches to the turbo, would have never found it without taking the heat sheild of
  2. check your rpo codes and you will find that your truck is not equipped to program trailers
  3. i thought it would be snake oil, but i have to admit valvoline restore and protect does work. my 2.7 would use 1.5 quarts in 4500 miles and i would change the oil. my last 2 oil changes i used valvoline and it has reduced my consumption by half a quart already
  4. we have had 5 days of rain, creeks are rivers and a lot of farmers fields are under water. yesterday afternoon we finally got some sunshine and 72 degrees, short lived, today more rain and sunday it is supposed to snow
  5. the pre cat sensor is reading to much oxygen and the ecm is adding fuel to compensate which makes the post cat read rich. you either have an intake leak on bank 2 or possible weak injector which could cause the random missfires.could also be a valve problem, hook up a vacuum gauge and if it is steady around 18 to 20 then that would rule out the valves
  6. i would double check for exhaust leaks, considering they would have taking it a part. he is some good reading on the 451 code
  7. higher altitude thinner air and less cooling Efficiency, your engine temp was also probably higher
  8. known problem in that generation of trucks, a diode shorts out in the wiper motor that causes the problem
  9. i would also go for the turbomax, i don't tow ahything heavy anymore maybe 6k lbs. my 2020 has 120k miles and for the most part has been very reliable
  10. glad you got it, my next suggestion was to get a thermo gun and look for a hot spot
  11. have you replaced the ground strap behind the front wheel, known issue that can cause a lot of problems
  12. 1.75 per litre = 7.96 a cdn gallon
  13. fuse block maybe, the fact you can can change how the symtoms change by pushing on the block still suggest wiring or connection. i would do a wiggle test on every wire in the plug that plugs in to the fuse block.
  14. does your reverse light turn on when you put it inreverse
  15. there is a tsb which covers most of your codes chrome-extension://efaidnbmnnnibpcajpcglclefindmkaj/https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/tsbs/2023/MC-10231640-9999.pdf
  16. 115 k miles now, second oil change with valvoline restore and protect, oil consumption has actually reduced but now having turbo issues
  17. have you had the ground strap replaced benind the front wheel liner
  18. you are really at the mercy of the dealership, you could take it to them and tell them it is seveer and you are afraid to drive it. hope they can give you a loner and just leave it.
  19. my battery was 5 and half years old, one morning at the begining of winter i put the truck in servive mode and it gave me a low battery warning. the truck started fine but i replaced the battery anyways. old battery is still starting our manlift. but i guess it doesn't take much to turn over the 2.7 as compared to a v8
  20. unless the clutch is jambed, then the valve body is leaking to apply the clutch
  21. wanted asmall portable one and use my phone, the autel is a large tablet type scanner
  22. i just got the topdon topscan master, it won't do half of the things they claim on my 2020 silverado. i contacted them and they said it should and to reload the software, still a fail. they claim my truck has a connection problem. funny i can hool up my autel and it works fine.
  23. a little more info is needed, engine, mileage and maybe location
  24. my son still drives my 2014 with 205k miles and everthing is still original, i can't believe the 6 speed transmission is still going.
