I should mention I took that diesel out for a drive again today. Drove it home in the country and back again, did a bit of running around in town. It was 15mpg, 1mpg better than mine according to DIC. Sent from my SGH-I337M using Tapatalk

My LML averaged 17.5 on the highway before the lift and 33" Toyo's, after it was right at 15. The mileage looked great until it went into regen then it would drop the whole tanks average down at least 2 mpg before it was complete. If you drove it strictly in town you would not get anywhere close to the 15 you were seeing because it would stay in regen most of the time or eventually limp the motor for it not being able to complete the regen after numerous attempts. Don't get me wrong they are amazing trucks but the emissions systems and associated emissions problems is why I got rid of the one I had. If you are debating getting one plan to give it a good highway run at least once every tank. The regen will take about 45min running 75 with a light load.

I think if I was a salesmen I would research the products I would be selling. I wouldn't like it if a customer came in knowing more than me.

Mine gets pretty bad mileage at 180 mph. Maybe I should get a bed cover.

This was taken last week when I filled up. So far I have put this many miles on the truck. Hopefully it stays like this. We will see.

Regen? Lets not do this regen thing then. What did the doctor tell you when you told him it hurts when lift your right arm all the way up? Doctor said Quote "Do not do that!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

Ha! That was the plan till the feds stepped in and started smoking everyone for offering delete programming; if they would have come out with that ruling a month later I would still be driving the LML.

I did a highway trip and decided to reset about Andrew Square a little south of Boston. Took the Boston Byepass through Logan and headed to the North Shore. Being a little unfamiliar with the route I was doing 45;50 mpg and was shocked. 27 mpg for 20 miles when I started hitting stop lights and traffic. Did my business and started heading back. I came down 93 and wondered what straight highway would do . So I reset again and headed south to Boston and South Shore at 50/60 mph. I almost got to my exit when road work turned good driving into bumper to bumper stop and go. So I pulled out the cell and snapped a pic. Not as good as going north but I was driving faster.

The dealer told me it was, they left the programmer in the truck for me, but i think it could be gradually off as my speed differs from speed trap signs, maybe I'll get it checked next time I'm in the dealer

They told me mine was too but what they did was flash over the Hypertech program when they did the fire recall. If you are passing everyone on the interstate or getting there quicker than expected you need to check it out. Easiest way to find out is to download a GPS App on your phone and compare.

What speed was your truck registering and how was the temp outside? Both make a difference. Only reason I'm asking is I want a lift but will probably go with a 4" and 33" tires. Don't want to knock my MPGs down too low though

What tires are you running? If you plug up the hypertech it will tell you what they have input if you go into the programming section. If it does nothing they overwrote the hypertech program and you will have to call them to have it reset. Install the hardware on your computer before calling them so you can update it accordingly. I run ProComp Xtreme MT2 tires. They are listed as 34.6" OD but actually with the truck load on them they are 33.67".

      Manufactuer's Defect - Paint Failure - Cherry Red High Country 2021 Suburban

      By AlVeron · Posted

      This is NOT impact damage nor neglect. There were previous class action lawsuits because of such paint preparation st GM manufacturing plant. Not just the Cherry Red Color. This paint is applied in three processes to obtain the desired color.  The manufacturer will cover for 36 months or 36k miles only. That rust is actually corrosion because of the paint process failure. Corrosion is covered for 100,100 miles or a certain months. However their corrosion doesn't include this type. Go figure. Clearly manufacturer knew from previous paint issues. This started 3 weeks ago out of the blue.

      Is it time to put a piece of tape over the CEL?

      consider doing electrical testing?  I would guess some power or ground wire/connection has a problem.   alldata.com has wiring diagrams, connector pinouts and diagnostic procedures you can use to find where the problem is.

      My First Project and GMC has me stumped

      By davester · Posted

      can you tell if the reader is actually trying to get codes, and the pcm is reporting none, or is your reader just silently failing because it's not communicating with the pcm?

      Any joy with this truck seems to be short-lived.   The CEL for P0172 ("bank 1" too rich) is now "intermittent".   I'm not sure where to check, or re-check, and my energy to keep chasing problems with junk is wearing thin. The P0172 seems to set as I'm coming to a stop, completely off the throttle, when fully warm. At least, that's what it's done the 3? times it's set.   Everything appears normal on the scanner EXCEPT long term fuel trim. There's only one bank on this vehicle because it's an OBD 1.5 with only one upstream O2 sensor. At idle, it's around -16.4% and will dip to -18% occasionally at idle or off-throttle. LTFT approaches 0 when throttle is held at 2500rpm. Short term appears normal, much closer to zero all the time. The LTFT tells me the engine is running rich at idle but compensating at higher load. But, why?   The EVAP purge valve doesn't appear to be leaking/sucking fuel vapor continuously. Is it sticking just as I come to a stop and the engine is choking on fuel vapor and sets the P0172? But that doesn't explain the persistently negative LTFT. Disconnecting the purge valve doesn't seem to make any difference.   I suppose that leaves another dang issue with the fuel injector. A leaking fuel pressure regulator, a new leak in the spider, or a leaking fuel injector/poppet valve I didn't see, or a small crack in one of the spider legs.   The vacuum line leading to the fuel pressure regulator doesn't have raw fuel in it. It doesn't even smell like fuel when it's pulled off, not until you suck air through it, then you can tell it leads to a fuel component. I'd consider that normal? Nothing is signaling this is a FPR issue from the outside, at least.   The oil smells like fuel but it's not building volume. I've noticed most oil in most engines smells like fuel to some degree so it's hard to say if the smell is an issue or not. Or if the engine just still smells like fuel because the crankcase was full of it a few hundred miles ago. But it's been changed twice since that original issue of the leaking fuel line dumping fuel into the intake.   Patience is running very thin. Every win seems to be accompanied by two steps backwards, or another issue that leads to removing at least the top half of the intake manifold. Enough! LOL
