Antone having any issues with the 6.2. Im close to getting mine bought back, Im not willing to drop another 15k on a 2500 so looks like Im gambling with another 1500. Maybe a more recent build date and a different engine will eliminate some possible issues.

Well folks, I did it. After all the failed attempts at the Chevy dealer I traded it in for a 2015 Ram 1500 Larame. I have to agree with the other folks on here that have done the same thing, it was th

Apparently you and the other customer reps don't care. If you or GM would care y'all would put more effort in the matter. Just coming on the forum and stating the same repetitive posts and being a 3

Bolt the flapper open on the exhaust and see if that helps, it took my v4 drone/vib away, and then go and have the dealer order you the updated exhaust if your truck was built before December 8 2013

 

 

My truck was built 03/14 and had vibration and squeaky between v4/v8. It also sounded like a turbo with as much as it whistled. No update IMO & its just crap their feeding us. I clamped mine and solved my problem myself.

Ok quick question, well two. One, where can I find this flap exactly some can do it and two would a aftermarket exhaust work better/ take care of the problem?

The adaptive valve is right behind the muffler and yes an aftermarket would eliminate the dumb @$$ valve. Truck sounds better as well with it open

a few pages back someone posted a link to the fix so I printed it off and took it to the dealer and asked if they seen this and they said no but then they popped the service bulletin right up on there computer. We went out and got all the info of my truck like the build date and the number that is stamped on the muffler and mine fit in the bulletin so they ordered me the new one

Just got mine back from the dealer after four days. They balanced the tires and said I need to break in my suspension and the vibration would go away.

That's a joke!

Take it back! Tell them to road force the tires or replace them, and then drive another new one on the lot and prove that your truck doesn't need "braking in"!

A friend of mine has a 2014 LTZ Z71 with over 17,000 miles on it and his vibrates at speeds over 70+ mph. I think it's the tires. But it's definitely not in need of "breaking in" at that many miles so I'm calling BS on that response from the dealer.

They road forced them and said it was only 10 pounds off. I drove another while they were working on mine and it was smooth as silk on the interstate. I bet I will be stuck with it

      You could try a used 1, they used that engine in the Astro vans, Plenty of them in the boneyard. Look for a wrecked or rotted 1 so the chance that it was scrapped for that reason and not a mechanical issue will be greater

      2018 Silverado Console USB Port Not Working

      By Tbhats2130 · Posted

      My centre console USB ports haven’t been working and the one in the glovebox is starting to act up. When I plug my phone into the cord the radio will go black and stop playing, and the CarPlay is inconsistent.   I checked the fuses and they were fine. I changed the USB port out and still nothing. Hoping for some advice on what I should be looking at.

      Wow I'm in a pickle. (Broke down truck) and a story.

      By Atlas · Posted

      The truck is a 1995 Chevrolet S10 Blazer, 4.3 VIN "W" engine. :cracks knuckles:   On a whim - because I needed a headache - this truck was for sale so I stopped to take a look. Doesn't run. Well, it does, but barely. Long crank, choppy idle, bad misfire(s), it REEKS of fuel. I can DO this..I'm thinking. Diamond in the rough. One owner until last year. A young guy is selling it, he bought it 6 months ago. It stranded him more than once, he's got a newborn. It was in the shop 10 days ago and he "thinks" they said it needs a new fuel injection system. He can't put any more money into it, needs it gone. I was thinking of upgrading my Macbook, which is a total want, not a need. For less than the price of a new laptop I can have fun for months tinkering on this truck and enjoying it. I'm taking this truck home. The guy was beyond thrilled, his wife was there, she thanked me profusely, I could tell they were hurting. They seemed like good people in a bind.   Some parts, a wash, maybe a set of tires, and I can have a few months of fun and then turn it for beer money (or the next project).   Sure enough, there's a work order from a shop last week in the INCHES of paperwork on this truck dating back to when the first owner bought it. They put a new distributor in it, fuel injection work describes basically opening the plenum and putting it back together. He said he couldn't afford any more work so he had them button it up and that's when he put it up for sale.   I'm not well versed in 4.3. I did discover 1995 uses the 1992-1995 SCPI "Spider" injector which is riddled with issues from splitting lines, clogged or cracked poppet valves and plastic spider legs that crumble over time. Cool. I'll just order me a ne---. Oh, the auto parts store doesn't have it? Rock Auto doesn't have it. eBay? $$$$$$ for used. These are UNAVAILABLE period end of story unless you know "a guy" who's still got one in a box somewhere.   Can't upgrade to the '96-'04 injector, it's a different plenum, wiring/pinout and sensor config.   There are a few kinda "know a guy" -guy rebuild services for these injectors out there for about $350. Okay, Okay... I'd like to know if anyone has used them? Anyone got a lead on these crappy 92-95 spiders?   I also don't want to send MY spider to Narnia and back without knowing if that's truly the problem. I guess I'll need to pull apart the plenum and do some digging.   I was also thrown for a loop. This 1995 model year truck has an OBD-II connector. The interface is decidedly not OBD-II. I can read and reset trouble codes and view live data, but there's not a lot of data. Like misfire count and on what cylinder, that's not there. It's OBD-1.5.   Nothing is ever easy. Now it makes sense why this guy wanted to disappear this thing for cheap. I'm guessing the shop told him the injector is toast, the part is unobtainable and they're not going to sort sending the thing to a rando offering rebuild service on craigslist, and the kid likely can't be without a working car for 3 weeks even if they'd facilitate that.   Experience with these early SCPI's? Stories? Things to check? Sympathy? (..Nah...)   This can sit until I sort it. But I haven't had a problem with a vehicle I couldn't easily solve in a long time.
