Are you me?

 

You just described exactly what I'm having AND I had to drive a loaner for the last 2 months that didn't do this at all. :lol:

 

Yea.. try this out though, mine will idle rough (like.. omg is this thing going to stall out?) rough in DRIVE and ONLY when warm. If its cold, no problem, if its rolling, even a little bit? no problem, reverse? no problem. ONLY drive.

 

Is that that what you're seeing?

 

You should see the water bottle I keep in my cup holder. It's a trip.

 

If its nothing actually WRONG.. I can put up with this, my concern is that there's some component thats gonna blow at 60,001 miles and put me like $20k in the hole for a new engine.

 

The only time i have noticed the rough idle so far is in drive. I have not noticed it in any other gear so far however i have not tried. I notice that that RPM gauge fluctuates between what seems to be 400 RPM and 500 RPM

Mine shakes some while at a stop but in gear. The tach is just below 500. Very annoying and I've had passengers ask me about it.

 

I took it into service when I had the first oil change and all the advisor told me was to get used to it as its normal.

Not normal.. I've driven 5 K2 trucks now and 1 out of those 5 has done it. Exactly what you've described here. ~500 idle, stumbling down to 350ish and then back up to 500. At 600 (reverse or neutral it sits at 600) its smooth.

 

I have an appointment Thursday to hve the shop look at it.

 

I'm so burned out on GM's problems that if they tell me its normal I'll likely just learn to ignore my brand new $43,000 truck running like a 59 year old carb'd 283 with a poorly tuned motor.. but at this point.. I think my GM fanship will have ended.

Doesn't seem like a motor mount issue to me? I mean the RPMs hunt up and down. Maybe they always do this and I dont notice?

 

I dont want them pulling my motor.. I'd rather just live with this if thats what it is.I dont want them touching my powertrain again.

Agreed. I think a retune with the idle rpm at 550 or 600 would fix my issue

I do too. 600 is smooth as glass. I'd just assume consume a tiny bit more gas than shim it with washers.

 

Shame though that I'd have to void my warranty to do that though.

From my understanding if you remove the tune before it goes into service and reload the stock tune you should be ok.

I've had a rough idle, even after tuning to idle at 600RPM. Last night I Seamfoam'd the intake and no more rough idle! Smooth as butter

How many miles does your truck have? Mine has 280.

Get some 89 octane gas in it soon, and don't use anything but 89 octane.

 

I am tuned to idle at 600rpm, and use only 89 octane from Top Tier stations. My truck idle's very smooth.

Is there any way to have GM adjust the idle rpm like that? I mean I could talk to blackbear but considering my truck was assembled by a 2 year old on a friday at closing time.. I dont know that I want to risk my warranty.. (I hate to be so down on my truck. It's really attractive to me and when we're rolling faster than 4 and slower than 70 its wonderful. :lol:)

      Clunk when putting truck into drive and reverse.

      By Matt Parker · Posted

      I have a 2000 Silverado 1500 LS, whenever I put it into reverse and also in drive it clunks, the truck also feels sluggish when driving. Any advice/ideas ?

      Some Assembly is Required

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Missing pieces of the Assembly   Detergency vs Solvency   Not the same thing. Detergency is the mechanism that surrounds solid particulates preventing amalgamation. Usually accompanied by a Dispersant whose job it is to keep those encapsulated particles in Suspension. Solvency keeps things that can be dissolved in solution.    Salt is a solid that can be dissolved. Pepper is a solid that cannot be dissolved. A detergent/dispersant is effective on pepper but a solvent is more effective on salt. As long as the solids remain in either state, dissolved or dispersed then they can be be removed with the oil upon change.    How many wranglers does it take to herd cats? Depends on how many cats your herding. How much sponge does it take to soak up water? How much water is there to soak up? Point is most oil blends start with some herding ability and next to zero sponge and recently even fewer wranglers are being sent to do the same job.    So you start with a dozen cowboys and zero cows but at the drive progresses you pick up cows along the way, but not cowboys. At some point you have more cows that the wranglers can handle and some leave the herd. Deposits. And the API has an acceptable number of cows they are willing to let loose. In the ideal world zero is the right number for he rancher but to the butcher....a few lost is fine. This cow is beat to death. Let's move on....   Solvency isn't something oils on the Walmart shelf care about AT ALL. Problem is, you motor does. Fuels driven varnish sticks rings and only a solvent can keep them in check. The bet is that the solids driven portion that plug the expander rings and the oil drain backs and VVT screens and AFM screens will be an issue long before varnish is. Not that it wont be but if they market well enough the consumer can be kept ignorant enough to either believe it is "normal" (A quart in 1 or 2K is normal) OR is kept at bay longer than the first owner is likely to hang on to the unit. Solvency cost money.    Now the OEM's have John Q. Public buffaloed into the belief that the number cows accumulated along the trail is a known and predictable CONSTANT. It isn't. Nor is the rate at which they crossed paths with them. Only the number of wrangles is constant. Or was. Each new generation of oil sees fewer and fewer of them.    So what happens when the number of cowboys is lower (lower TBN) with each seasons trail but the trial is longer (OCI) and the number of cows along that trail continues increase? (Conditions that promote deposits).    For awhile the blenders were on to something. Better bases are harder to degrade (fewer cows) but that was overtaken by a longer trail (OCI) and improved breeding (More cows) while continuing to reduce the cowboy staffing levels (TBN/Aniline #).    Marketing has been successful. We've fired most of the staff, cows breed line bunnies, the trail is ten times longer and we've convinced the boss his ranch is in better shape that it ever was.    That kids is just the cleaning side. The side few pay attention to.
