Rough Idle 09 Sierra Hybrid Crew Cab HELP!!!


Recommended Posts

Posted

I Have a 2009 Sierra Hybrid 6.0L crew cab that has started to idle rough. I took it to the shop and after hooking up to it the codes p0300 and p0302 were given. 300 was for random cyclinder misfire and 302 was cylinder two. I had the number 2 injector replaced and the problem is still there. The guy working on it says he believes it is the ECM (Electronic Control Module). Now I have an appointment set up at a GMC dealearship to have them run tests on the ECM. That is a week from now does anyone else have any ideas as to what it could be?

How many miles are on this truck? I would have replaced spark plug or coil pack first before replacing the injector. I would check those before paying dealer diagnostic time.

145,xxx. I am going to replace the coil pack today and see if that works out.

Ok if not that then check/replace the spark plug. If that fails then maybe take it to the stealership.

Here is a little more information on the problem: The rough idle/shaking feeling occurs when starting up in park while at 1000 rpm or less and also in drive and reverse under 1000 rpm. When driving around town the truck runs fine with no problems. Why would it only occur under 1000 RPM?

Ok so after taking my truck to the dealership today they have dtermined the same injector is still not functioning propely because the previous mechanice put an aftermarket injector in and not an OEM GM injector. Could this be true?

Its possible. However, most aftermarket parts exceed what the OEM specs. I would want something in writing that states if the OEM injector doesnt fix the problem then Im not liable for the cost of parts and labor. As far as the issue only being noticed under 1000rpm it could because the engine is not under that heavy of a load under 1000rpm and that any rpm above that the engine is under a heavy load and getting more fuel that makes the symptoms not as noticeable

    • This is a 1/2 ton thing ONLY.  All HDs 2020-2026 have the two speed transfer case, with Autotrac as an option.     1/2 tons 2019-2026, regular 4x4s come with a single speed case (no 4LO!), and trucks with Z71 ordered, or all Trail Boss trucks come with the 2 speed case.  2 speed case is also an option on WT, and is also standard on High Country.  
    • 2013 5.3 still to this day calls for the PF48 filter.  Which as a 15psi bypass pressure.     There is a TSB, 17-NA-157 that talks about the PF-63 and PF-64 filters which have a higher bypass rating of 22psi.    TSB HERE - temp.xml   "Beginning in 2012, the oil pumps began to regulate main gallery feedback instead of pump out pressure. This means that the oil pump now does not begin to regulate until pressure is built up to the main gallery. This change reduces the amount of time it takes to provide oil to the engine bearing and lifters during extreme cold start conditions.  Main gallery feedback oil pump control systems are present on the following engine families which use Spin-on oil filters: Small Gas Engine (SGE), Large Gas Engine (LGE), High Feature (HFV6) Gen2 and Small Block Gen5 gasoline engines. These engines with the main gallery feedback oil pump control systems are factory built with an ACDelco® oil filters"   It also calls out what engines use those filters.  The gen 4 small blocks were not on that list (LMG, LC9, L9H, L92, L94, L20, L96).  Gen 5 small blocks use the higher pressure filter.          That all said...   Your 7045 Napa filter is the PF63 equivalent, with 22psi bypass.  You are already using the higher bypass pressure filter.  You CAN keep using it, you don't technically have to use it though.  
    • Do you know WHY the filter relief setting was increased to 22 psig?    When the new system goes into the second stage the pump volume ramps up considerably. It was found that the 15 psi filter bypass setting put the filter in bypass on a warm engine when the second stage was activated. Raising the filter bypass setting forced the filter to do what it designed to do. Filter. Preventing debris from circulating during high load, high rpm operation.    So next question is how did GM find this out? VLOM/lifter failures and a deep dive by Melling Corp.    Last question. Is it required? Look at it like this; a motor may be equipped with a rev limiter. But it only works if the set point in reached. That 22 psig setting only matters if the pressure differential across the filter media exceeds 15 psig during normal warm operation. Second stage kicks in around 3000-3500 rpm.    I can't answer your question because I don't know you and how you use the truck. But I think there is enough information here to let you decide for yourself. 😉
    • Probably not their first rodeo, so it should go as planned most likely.  Typically the service manager or tech doing the swap will put some seat time to shake it down after they get it all put back together.  We usually put 50-100mi before we hand them back so if something happens, its not after you get it.  A coolant leaks, oil leaks, a ground left off or loose, vibration, etc.     The new engines so far have been good?  There's been a couple that have popped out there again (the replacement engine) but most have been okay.
