The engine has cut off 4 times now in the last month while making a right hand turn from a stop. Cuts out while accelerating. No warning lights and will restart immediately and runs fine, just don't know while it stops. Any thoughts?

Don't turn right any more, three left turns = one right turn. Problem solved! :crackup:

 

A little more information would be helpful, like make, model, year, engine, miles on vehicle, etc.... :thumbs:

2015 GMC Sierra 1500 Crew Cab, 5.3L, 3.73 with Max Tow package, 8,000 miles. It does not do this consistently but by the way it cuts out, sounds like some type of torque safety or ignition safety and the engine just completely stops. It doesn't bog down or stall out, just like the ignition was turned off. Turn it back on again and everything is fine.

 

Have an appointment with the dealer tomorrow to have it looked at. Thought maybe someone might have an idea of what it might be.

Dealer could not diagnose the issue as no code was generated in the computer. Continue to drive is and document when it occurs to see if I can pinpoint the issue.

Sounds very much like a short to me, check your ECM wiring harness, it is very close to the steering wheel rod in the engine bay (ECM is the silver aluminum block heatsink). You can find it right next to the empty battery tray

And we are back to technicians not be able to diagnose anything without a code...

 

My truck dies, great drive it and hopefully do not get in an accident..

 

My truck vibrates, well there is no code, it must be normal...

Same thing happened to me this morning as I was on my way to pick up my girlfriend from work.

Stopped at a red light and when it turned green I accelerated to about 10 km/h (I'm Canadian) and

I heard a clank sound and the engine stalled. Put into neutral and restarted and the check engine

light was on. On my way home the check engine light turned off but I could feel a vibration in the gas

pedal. Only 6K on the truck and haven't done any crazy driving. Will take it in Monday and see if I can

get any results to post here.

Good afternoon Bozak,

I am glad to hear you have plans to work with a dealership to address the stalling concern in your Sierra, as I understand why you would want to have this addressed. I would be more than happy to connect you with our Canadian team so they can help set you up with a service appointment. Private message me with your VIN, full contact information and preferred dealership if you would like more assistance.

Have a good day.

      No 12v outlets in 2026 gmc Sierra

      By PhilB · Posted

      It is possible to add your own 12v outlet to your truck.  Check out this video:   I verified via GM Upfitters that pin 31 is the same on the 1500 trucks.  The wire is GM part number 84779405.   You can get the GM 12v outlet from Amazon  https://www.amazon.com/Genuine-Accessory-Receptacle-25774623-13549530/dp/B0F1H9YRGF EWAY 12 Volt Power Adapter for GM   https://www.amazon.com/EWAY-Chevrolet-Silverado-Cigarette-Ignition/dp/B0915RRW6Q/ref=sr_1_1?   I just haven't figured out a good place to put the 12v outlet in my truck.   Some people are getting USB-C to 12V adapters  https://www.amazon.com/WYMECT-Cigarette-Lighter-Socket-Adapter/dp/B0F87WNQKB/ref=sr_1_1_sspa? Not sure if they provide the correct amperage that a device like a tire inflator would need.

      Wiring Help, Please

      By Core-Lokt · Posted

      Thanks; I looked there a few minutes, and I think I can find something. I really never looked there, as I thought it was stuff like PTO/aftermarket bodies/accessories like snow plows.

      2 speed transfer case optional now?

      By newdude · Posted

      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.

      Different requirements for oil filters?

      By newdude · Posted

      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. 😉
