Hi

Hopefully this is the right spot for this. 05 1500H.D. crew 6.0 l Okay so the basic question is that I notice and have for some time a slight shutter at idle off the motor. Runs fine at speed and generally any other time. Holds the idle okay just a slight shutter now and then. I have no check engine light so I think that would mean no codes that the computer is picking up. Fuel mileage is as it is all the time. This isn't really a big problem just something I notice. In the past when you could work on a car I would think a vacuum leak or maybe wires plugs etc. . I have replaced, after codes both knock sensors that cleared said codes , plugs, and wires, cleaned the throttle body and maf ( no reason just maint,}, and do run a K& N filter pack. Just regular stuff. Truck has about 63k on it. I would think that if there was anything wrong the computer would pick it up. I had thought that perhaps maybe slightly low fuel pressure at idle, but again wouldn't the computer pick that up? Just wondering where to start or if it is even worth it? Would a tune fix this? Ken

Its not uncommon for these engines to do that. I don't think I'd worry to much about it. LQ4 motor is pretty solid. :)

Mine has the shutter too.

 

 

Thanks for the input. I have read that here and on other boards but thought I would ask. I guess that I just go back to my youth when I could tune an engine to purr at 400rpm and idle like butter. Great board and thanks again. Ken

When our 2008 Yukon XL Denali has a stutter or slight hesitation, I change brands of gas for a few thousand miles. It usually clears right up with a new full tank of different tier one brand.

 

I have been told that the additives are different between brands and by changing brands (and then running the same brand for several thousand miles) minimizes the deposits.

      Correct.  2019-2021 model years are serviced by a different p/n.  19420611.  Recall 2021s use 19420611.   The recall engines 2022-2024 model years are serviced with 12740076.     The difference between 19420611 and 12740076 is GM changed injector size for 2022.  The injectors are smaller on 12740076 with smaller injector bores in the cylinder heads to match the smaller injectors.  So you can't install a 19420611 in a 2022-2024, and you can't install a 12740076 in a 2019-2021.     Both engines are the replacement engine p/ns that are in the L87 recall.  So both of these are the updated engines.     Here's a version of the L87 recall with the p/ns for all the parts needed.    RCRIT-25V274-7075.pdf   Note it shows 19420611 and 12740076 with an asterisk to a footnote "Use the VIN and the GM Electronic Parts Catalog (EPC) to determine which part to order if two or more part numbers are listed for the same part, as it may vary by vehicle options."

      Looking for advice from this group. Took my flawless 2020 6.2 TB to an unnamed shop for routine rear brakes and oil change. Tech forgot to put oil back in after the full service and needles to say, destroyed my engine.  It’s all on their shop video so they are responsible.   I had my Chevy dealer do the analysis and they confirmed its compromised and said engine replacement. The manager said they only get GM reman engines from GM with full 3 yr warranty and the one they would put in is not same as what’s they are swapping out on 21-25 for recall.    I am looking for advice why that would be a different engine because obviously I had the good 6.2 year and replacing it has my concerns with that recall for 21-15   Also what’s the pros and cons of accepting the engine swap vs telling the shop that bricked the truck to pay up so I buy a new truck. I’m concerned about stigma resale eventually if I just decide to get rid of it after the swap or other issues showing up after the swap out.

      Just looked up my records.  I've never gone over 5000 miles between oil changes.  At 46K miles, I have 10 oil changes.  I hope that will help.  I also installed the disabler last year.  I've still had a few times when it didn't seem to engage (which I can tell because the start stop feature kicks in), but for the most part, I think it's working.  For some reason, GM did not include the number of cylinders running in the information screen like I had on other models.  In my Cadillac, it shows me when it's running on 4 cylinders on the fuel milage screen.  I can't find that on my '21 Denali.

      Melling I believe is/was the OEM on the lifters who explored this problem some years ago. The white paper they generated on the topic indicated two items of note when I read it. 1.) They only fail on the switch. Prevent the switch, prevent the failure. 2.) The majority fail due to deposits messing up the timing of that switch. Anyway that's what I got from it.    Mine have always been active, 195K+ now, and my oil maintenance is surgically clean.    Of course this assumes good parts. That is no heat treat issue or machining flaws. I get comfortable that these issues are in the rearview mirror by about 30K. IMHO naturally.
