Bob2C,

Thanks for the link. I read that and with the discussion I had from GM here in Canada on Friday as well as the dealer both telling me injectors are consumables and not covered beyond the 60,000 km warranty I am still wondering if they will see my point as I'm not into owning a $90,000 paperweight.

 

Cheers,

I am having issues with my brand new 2015 GMC Yukon Denali. I was so excited to get this new car. It had a leak in the back right rear window from the start. They had to replace the entire headline

I found this thread because my brand new, this weekend, 2015 Denali XL feels rough to me as well. Before I took delivery, I felt it and had them take it back to service and they put it on the computer

I'd like to know the issue. My Yukon has 17k miles on it and still has a rough idle. I just came from the dealer and they won't trouble shoot it because it is not giving a trouble code.

“This special coverage only applies to vehicles in these states: California, Connecticut, Delaware, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Jersey, New York, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Vermont, and Washington. “

 

This is the answer back from the dealer - short story it is NOT applicable to vehicles in Canada which is disheartening to know that there is a double standard. After 25 years of not having a GM product this sort of thing is ticking in the wrong column of wanting to...

That’s sucks. I never could figure out why things were different in Canada if the trucks were produced at the same factory.

Nor can I but it is what it is. My point back to the manager of the service department today is explain why then 2, 6 and 8 (all from what I know to be the same side of the block) have failed? only #4 outstanding. I'm thinking it is a common rail or a high pressure fuel pump or a computer issue...

No response yet. 

 

I'm not a mechanic but I can make things go fast...

Have you looked to buy them online and replace yourself? I have replaced injectors on other cars and it’s a simple process.

Well not specifically but having done it on a few diesels it isn't all that hard. Trouble is I don't have any specific GM scanner or any such thing like. Besides, if it is something else (as I think it is - being all one side of the block) I can't check for that in my garage. 

 

As well, the truck is only 22 months old and having to do this sort of thing that soon is not something a guy should have to do.

Well based on everything I have read so far, I will admit I'm a bit frustrated and stuck in this somewhat less than stellar warranty but the level of frustration is not worth trading it in (yet) and paying more for a new one.

I am in a slightly positive equity position on the sell vs loan prices but that still doesn't offset the increased burden in capital. So I figure I will put up with the hit and miss service issues and let them sort it out until I expire the warranty which for me is likely going to be around June of 2020. Then if I have any more to do I will only be looking at 1 or 2 to do somewhere else, or myself.

 

My issue with all of this is that that all the replaced items are all on the same bank so far (2, 6 and 8 ) replace 4 and that's an entire side. Not a single sales person who wants to sell me a new one has ever heard of this let alone of multiple injector failures which because I'm new to GM after 25 years I missed that as a major ask when originally looking at the truck.

 

This just bugs me.

 

Wife took the truck this morning so I can't get that data logger in until later today.

 

Fun times.

So, after another lengthy discussion with another service manager and offered some additional insight which was helpful. The last part of it was to contact customer care and open a case file. So, I am officially that guy. I'm not here to throw anyone under a bus - I just want a problem fixed and I will do my part to do it, fully understanding that there are a lot of it in my control. The big one, which I don't like is that I was told to use premium fuel, yet it states it is recommended, not required - ok fine. Next was to change the fuel filter, sure but perhaps a premature as again, going that far back in the system would beg that all injectors (both sides) are affected and not just one bank.

Anyway, that is where we left it today.

Are you throwing anymore codes? I had a shutter at idle while in drive after the car has warmed up so I did some digging. There is a tsb out for motor mount replacement for that exact cause. Had mine done last week. I’d say it’s about 95% corrected.

That's unreal.

 

I ran my code reader / data logger yesterday and no codes or for that matter unusual idle conditions. It is just frustrating that it doesn't happen enough to pin point the issue. Again, I don't think this has anything to do with the dealer as they can only do what is present and I totally understand that BUT I still think it is something that if not addressed will kick me hard when the warranty expires next spring / summer.

So, the GM customer care in Canada was little help - not entirely her fault but funny how the story she was provided from the dealer was not true. She was told that they were logging the vehicle misfire count and codes - and I said, that would be great but hard for them to do when they don't have the truck in their shop. She was like what? I said, yes, me as a consumer / owner have installed my own data logger and will be doing my own case development. She tells me that's not right and I agreed but right now I have no choice. 

 

I'm still looking hard at trading it in for a 2019 but don't want to get into another can of worms.

      MPG at 600 miles

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      There are probably a few threads talking about fuel mileage but this one seemed to fit the stats I have seen based on my typical local driven route but with different outcomes based on different seasons/temperatures. I have a few hundred pounds of items that consistently ride on the truck at all times such as a bak flip cover, rubber bed mat, tools and extra fuel so I would be something over 8100 lb without me in the truck. All these examples are based on a 100 mile round trip to a town plus running around town so maybe 110 to 120 miles in total for a trip. Using regular fuel and I assume it always has some ethanol in it but don't know the percentage they blend in. Also speed wise I am going at 62 mph and non aggressive driving although less speed yet if its crappy winter condition roads. I am going by an initial reset of the computer generated fuel use numbers averaged over a couple of thousand miles or so for each weather/season so they may be more optimistic then actual hand calculated numbers. Basically this is painting a picture of doing the same drive but seasonal conditions and temperature being the major variable to the end result. Oh and although I am in Alberta Canada, I am converting it to miles per US gallon so there is no confusion.    So winter time it gets cold here, no real surprise there and the roads can be clear at times but also often have packed rough snow or are are driving through loose snow ( they do a poor job of plowing the highways ) and yes this includes the extra idle engine time due to trying not to freeze ones butt off. 12.7 mpg is what I was getting during the winter months on average.    Then during the spring when it was around the freezing point and the highways are clear of snow, I was getting around 14.25 mpg.   Summer time, I have been getting around 15.15 on average but certainly some of the trips showed quite a bit better fuel mileage, so much depended on how much or little I had driven around town and number of engine restarts after sitting for a while at each location. But stating a best fuel mileage trip to town pretending that is what the truck gets on average is fooling ones self for sure !.      As I said in a different post, I had driven a 645 mile trip over a couple of days stint to a different destination then these other daily to town examples above, and was done during the summer with nice weather and not bucking a head wind, also keeping at 62 mph and its a rolling landscape type highway drive ( this isn't southern Alberta or Saskatchewan flat lands ) Hand calculated fuel mileage in this case though and it came out to 17.65

      Factory front brake rotors...defect?

      By Chris80s · Posted

      On my wife's 2020 Blazer (~69000 miles), we started to notice the brakes pulsating at faster speeds. Typically around town you don't notice anything, but highway/interstate driving you will notice it. I decided to pull of the front tires and look at the brakes. I figured with the milage, the pads should be wearing out to their life span, but they actually looked decent. Still with "meat" on them. One pad has a ridge wearing in it, and that same rotor is showing the ridge too. That's not the concerning part...the other rotor appears to have a raised bump on it!  The picture make it look like a pimple! Very odd and strange! NOTE: These are the factory brakes and rotors.   I'm attaching pictures of the front brakes and what they look like ate ~69000 miles.

      Remote Start Noise 2024 2500 HD Gas

      By BCGM · Posted

      2024 Chevrolet 2500 HD Custom 6.6 Gas Canadian built Truck  I tried to search for my previous thread on this topic but cant find it so my apoligies  for starting another one    #1   Since we have owned our truck purchased new it has this strange noise after using the remote start function  you press the remote start and you hear it start but right at the end of it starting it almost seems like it wants to start again after the truck is running .   There is no gap in time it is right at the end of the start . Almost sounds like when you have started a car/truck and its running and then you try and start it again and you get that grinding noise ,sort of     #2  You can only hear this if you are standing outside of the truck and near the truck  you cant hear it when you start the truck from inside  the cab . So it may very well be happening when starting the truck that way as in normally    #3   This only happens when it is started after sitting . For how long I don't know but it happens after sitting overnight for sure and it wont do it if you stop the engine after starting and then start it again  I have had it in to the Dealership before concerning this but they did not have the truck  when it was cold to hear it . Now its back in the Dealership left it overnight so they could possibly hear the problem . They said they tried and nothing happened . Well they did not know what they were listening for . I started the truck remotely and BINGO it makes the noise . Oh that sounds weird they say . We need to look into it ! I have left for this week at the Dealership    Does your 2024 2500 HD gas do this ?  Any of you fellas care to take the time and trouble to film this operation from a cold start  so I can hear what your sound like  Really  would like to know if this is anormal sound  Thank You Fellas !!
