Hello, I have an 03 Silverado with a 4.8. It keeps going into limp mode with p0220 code. I've replaced the throttle body, tested and tightened wires and pins in the connector. After clearing the code, I have driven 15 miles on the fwy to test it with no problems. After parking and restarting after a minute or so, everything works as normal, but after sitting for 10 minutes, the light comes on and it shows the same code, without turning on the engine, but just turning the key to the on position. I'm at a loss. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

most likely a broken wire behind the connecter. it will look ok but will be broken inside the insulation of the wire. use a multi meter to find it

I had check all the wires already. Sorry, I forgot to mention that. There were no open circuits.

I had error code PO 0220 and error code PO 0650 last week. I took the throttle body off the manifold and cleaned it twice, two different days, then reassembled. I had cleared all the codes before this clean job and I had disconnected the communication cable before this as well. I also sprayed electrical contact cleaner in the male and female junctions. 

Its worked great for two days. I reset the ECM for idle by using a 3 minute cold start then wait 60 seconds in the key off position, then ran 3 minutes. I did this three times this morning. The engine is running smoothly around 400 RPM. It was below 0 degrees Celsius this morning. All is well with idle today.

  I had also added a few ounces of Seafoam cleaner to the crankcase, to help quiet the old lifters. The truck has 290 K Kilometres on the 6.0 litre engine. Its running nice and smooth.

      You can always count on greed to prey on ignorance and stupidity.    Friend bought a 2019 Ford Flex and asked me about using Valvoline R&P 5W30 in it. Told him give the miles on it and the fact it wasn't yet using oil that it was a good plan. He uses a Valvoline quick change shop for his oil service.   First they tell him that isn't the oil the OEM recommends. He told them he didn't care what the OEM thought. Then they floated the, "But it will void your warranty"    His reply was it's a 2019, there is no warranty and informed them their knowledge of the law was lacking.    Then they tell him 'But it will ruin your motor"!.    Mine to ruin he says. Finally they give in and charge him 150% the semi-syn price    Point it the brainwash is so embedded that even the service industry is drunk on their swill. The public is right behind them. Echoing the same lies on every forum and media platform. If the end goal is indeed EV then I'd say that ship is about built.

      2026 6.6 L5P oil cooler leaking oil at 4,000 miles

      By Brendan C · Posted

      New to diesel trucks. I happened to find my oil cooler leaking oil externally with only 4,000 miles on the truck. I didn’t realize this was an issue until I started researching it. Dealer is going to replace it under warranty but I’m wondering if there’s anything GM is working on to fix this issue. I’ve heard the oil filter used is the same as they use on their V6 motors and that’s what is causing the problems. Should I switch to a bigger filter or keep using the OEM recommended?

      Seems to be Missing a lot of Updates

      By Vu1can · Posted

      So, GMCustomerService:  Judging by the Update History pictured above, is this truck missing any updates that it actually needs. If it's just for the infotainment system, the radio is working fine and no trouble with SeriusXM. and Android Auto is working fine wirelessly with my phone. Some months ago, an update notice was sent to my truck. I approved the update and it finished saying that the update was successful, but it seems that whatever that update was, it didn't actually get installed - at least not if I'm to go by the Update History shown above.   So, again, are there any updates that this truck really should have? I've checked with my dealer but they're reluctant or commit to anything and if I want them to check, they require a $200.00 fee just to check it out and then I'd have to pay for the actual update(s).    Ignorance is bliss, and if none of the updates goes to fixing any mechanical discrepancies, I'll just leave things as is.
