3.0 Duramax engine replaced under warranty
GK Hill replied to GK Hill's topic in 2019-2021 Silverado & Sierra Troubleshooting
Agreed BIGDOGx. Sucks. I have an image of a few extra parts laying around that never made it back into the truck. I hope I am wrong. Next will be an exit strategy. Back in the truck a week. Runs good so far, but it doesn't feel like my old truck. I found one molding clip in the bed of the truck. Who knows where it goes. As long as the MFer doesn't leave me stranded again I will be ok. 1st world problems. -

That looks like the same area, just a zip tie on the heat shield (foil) on my truck. Thank you for this. -

Truck is done. Took it for a drive and performed a quick inspection. I found a few issues under the hood. Loose coolant res bolt, firewall grommet not set, and a possible missing bracket. Can someone please post a photo of the passenger side of their 3.0 so I can compare? -

New long block arrived last Friday with the fuel system attached. Everything else needs to be swapped over. The technician working on it seems like a good dude and I feel bad for him. I hope he isn't losing too much money on this job. The old engine had piston #3 jump into the valves. No words. -

No it's Moss. Cookie cutter GM dealership bays FTW. -

October 2020 is build date. Dropped in today to check things out. Looks like the bed is full of underhood pieces. So far cylinder #3 low compression is the reason given for engine R&R. Waiting on parts to come in. -

Truck needs a new engine. First time having a dealer installed new engine in 36 years of vehicle ownership. Also, my first American truck purchase. Irony. Engine should arrive next week from MI. I feel the wrong engine oil was added at the dealer, but invoice states oil part # 19370138. No reason given for the engine failure. &:$;$;&;&4/@&£_£|€~^}+#£<<£_=[!,!,?>]^ -

Not yet. I found a 2500 gasser similar to my 1500. I need seating for 6. MSRP 58k, but I am sure it will sell before my case is done. -

Exit stage right and Encore Test drove a 2500 SLT DURAMAX which was very nice with a $12k mark up.
