Weird my 2015 is doing the same thing except it's making a sound like the battery is dead. I jiggle the negative battery cable then it starts sometimes. Scared to turn the thing off when I go out. Has anyone gotten theirs fixed with a positive on what's causing this problem?

I'm also curious if this was ever resolved. This has been happening to my 2016 Silverado the past 2 years I've had it. Just when it's cold at night and warming up in the morning causing condensation. After it sits out for a while/heats up it starts fine. I'm not a mechanic or anything but I am pretty handy for the most part. I've tested the battery and the load is fine still, so the battery shouldn't be an issue. I even tried jumping it when it would start and it wouldn't jump. My internet research is suggesting it might be a bad starter? I would like to know if this is really it before taking it in to get replaced.

Very same issue with a Chevy 2500 HD 2016 (variety of blinking console warnings, starter won't activate on moist cool mornings), and here's the solution!!!  THERE'S A GROUNDING STRAP FROM THE COMPUTER MODULES DOWN TO THE FRONT WHEEL-WELL LOCATIONS ON THE FRAME, BOTH DRIVER AND PASSENGER SIDE.  WITH AGE AND CORROSION, THESE GROUNDING CONNECTIONS BECOME INTERMITTENT WITH MOISTURE.  FIX IS QUICK:  (1) Find a 10 mm wrench or socket, remove the bonding bolt, (2) Use a piece of sandpaper or emery cloth to remove the corrosion on the strap eyelet and the frame, (3) re-apply the grounding bolt.  THE DRIVER SIDE STRAP APPEARS TO HAVE THE MOST SIGNIFICANT IMPACT, BUT CLEAN UP BOTH!

      Exhaust Question

      By C. Hart · Posted

      I have seen different people in different places post different sizes of exhaust as stock for my 2014 Sierra L83. Some say 2.5 some say 2.75. I am considering replacing the muffler with a Dynomax Super Turbo, perhaps 17739.  I had the factory L83 5.3 replaced with another L83 5.3 from Jasper Engines. I also put new Walker Cat / Y pipe on. I would appreciate opinions suggestions about what would be a good muffler setup. My main interest is a low rumble and the best flow / fuel mileage I can get. Not interested in straight through glass packs or loud exhaust. Those days are way behind me now.  Thanks Guys.

      Cold start Miss, oil in cylinder

      By newdude · Posted

      Its coolant disguised as oil.   TSB 20-NA-166 -  20-NA-166 1..3   "To inspect for this concern, add coolant dye to the system, run the engine through warm up, pressurize the cooling system after warming the engine to operating temperature (let the engine cool overnight) and inspect the suspect cylinder with a borescope for coolant dye evidence. At times it may be necessary to remove the head for inspection. If the head casting line is the concern, the intake port will be wet with a coolant oil mix"     I'd say its the head, and its either leaking at the casting line and dripping down the intake into the cylinder, or its another spot on the casting itself at the cylinder that is getting wet.

      Can you sample the pooled liquid, enough to confirm it is oil?   ...That its not fuel or coolant.   Also, make sure combustion gases aren't entering the cooling system.   Simply put, either oil being pushed up past the rings (this really isn't possible), oil leaking past the head gasket, oil leaking past the valve, oil entering through the intake air path. If none of this is likely - it may not be oil.   What could be likely is the fuel injector leaking down. A puddle of gas would still smoke and rough idle. (Same cylinder has the same problem after injector replacement?)   What is the crank time first thing in the morning, when the puddle would be present? Does it seem like the high pressure fuel pump needs an extra second or two to rebuild the pressure that injector 8 may have let bleed off? Check the fuel pressure via a scanner prior to starting the engine.

      Good information!  I didn't know about the dementia aspect and asked for a general for my second knee. I'd heard that recovery room time is usually shorter with a general.   The anesthesiologist talked me out of it and I had the spinal.  Inconvenience and/or discomfort is a small price to pay for reduced risk!

      This is for those over 70 years of age contemplating joint replacement surgery involving general anesthesia. Even some 55 yrs. ago when I took my pharmacology class the dangers of developing dementia in the elderly that had general anesthesia were beginning to be recognized. Over the years there has been some refinement in the cautionary warnings, avoid general anesthesia if possible if you've had close to 10 priors, especially over the age of 70 and/or a family history of dementia. I'm not including the twilight anesthesia induced by propofol often used in cytoscopies or colonscopies. Seriously think about seeing a neurologist and undergo cognitive testing before proceeding if any of those criteria apply to you. Spinal anesthesia may be an option in some cases. I'm in the above camp and although I could use a new right knee, I get fidgety according to a prior orthopedic surgeon when the bone saw spools up or maybe it was the smell of saw blade meeting bone, anyhow I may have one general anesthesia left in me which I will pocket for now and I'm choosing mind over mobility, anyway where did I leave my damn cane!
