GM 2014 SIlverado 6.2L Cracked Push Rod - Help needed

[davidncurtis]

Metallurgical test on the pushrod? if found to have a weak spot you may be back in business. Bad metallurgy trumps tune every day of the week IMO. But it's GM so who knows.

 

Have you every used this before.

Update:

 

The Dealership has replaced the pushrod and the engine is running fine. We are still discussing everything with GM so no final word on the Warranty Issue yet.

 

Im still trying to figure out why this push rob is broken. The Lead Mechanic at the dealer ship is puzzled that nothing else is wrong with the engine. They have never seen this before on a 6.2L.

Just curious what was your bill?

Almost. Had The same thing happen with a set of Elgins for my GP. Was going to have it tested but Elgin sent me a new set to hush me lol

FYI, I don't think removing the tune before you brought it in would matter. The ECU counts changes and would flag that something had been changed. If GM didn't make the change (they keep a count/log of each vehicle's changes), they know that you had a tune and removed it.

 

Sorry about your problem. I'm skeptical about their claim that only the rod failed. Either it was a bad rod, or something caused it to fail.

Was it still one piece, or did chunks break off the cracked pushrod? If chunks broke off you might want to pull the oil pan and get the debris out. (No idea if that's feasible on these trucks.)

 

I'd start doing oil analysis too.

I don't see how a tune could make one pushrod fail either. The only way I can see a pushrod issue is if you revved it above it's limit but that would cause more than just one pushrod to fail. I'd push hard for GM to pay for this.

What was the final resolution?
