Yeah, I am shure that 91/93 will fix your problem. Let us know how it turns out. And if all is well then it will be time to get a Blackbear tune to unleash the potential of that 6.2

I have the same truck, same set-up. My truck made the same noise when I picked it up from the dealer. I figured they gave me 50$ of reg gas.... yep. Topped up the tank with 93 it got better instantly. Next fill -100%. I don't always get a chance to put 93 but no pinging with 91 Octane. It's a 6.2 lt. giver what she needs. Fyi - you'll likely get better gas mileage. Just FYI - I kicked a 5.0lt 2017 Ford last weekend and I was pulling a heavier boat. He put $60 regular and my 6.2 took $46 same distance.... he didn't talk much about his Ford rest of the weeken!!! I'm Actually impressed with the gas mileage for a 6.2. and It never stressed me out when I bought it.

 

Who buys / drives a new truck and then comments they can't afford the gas...??? Sorry had to be said.

Excellent! They are and have been only good to look at really....When it comes down to it, FERD's actually going to make yet ANOTHER V-8 because GM kicked their asses with the 6.2!

Well shoot rackaddict82 run a few tanks of 93 octane and see if the noise goes away to test the "Infidels" theory. I never ran anything but 93 octane in my 16 for over 19,000 miles and plan on doing the same for this 17 for however many miles I keep it. No strange detonation noises except one time when I had a hand held programmer on it. I of course removed the tune immediately. Are you using a tuner/programmer?

Oh and what kind of user name is rackaddict?

Some people might get the wrong idea there!!!!

I have a 2017 GMC Sierra. 6.2L w/ Max Trailering pckg. The issue I'm having is when the truck is under power while I'm towing something or while going up a hill, I can hear like a clattering or rattling sound coming from underneath the firewall area. Once the vehicle down shifts and gets to a higher RPM it stops. It almost sounds like the old "pinging" noise from bad gasoline in older vehicles. It's driving me insane! I have tried to do a video/audio while it's happening but it doesn't turn out with my iPhone.

Did you ever figure out what caused this?  Had it happen today and it freaked me out.

Yeah I started using 91/93 octane gasoline and it quieted down right away! Try that and let me know if it works for you too. [emoji846][emoji1360] Good luck man!

I have a 2011 Chevrolet Silverado 5.3 has same issue. I understand the deal with octane from 87 to 93 octane but I question it  with the rattling and pinging the truck almost seems as if it should downshift sooner. Just like driving a standard if you don’t downshift on a hill or what not it starts to rattle and ping  same exact noise.

Like I said a paragraph before seems like the truck needs to downshift sooner

Yep I put 28 gallons of 93 in it last evening.

I'm sorry if my user name offends anyone, (not really though) hahahahahahaha. I'm a Whitetail fanatic and I am obsessed/addicted to antlers/"racks". Here's a rack I chased for three years before I was able to harvest him this fall. 2573333c9b9383b894e4a94b2f18b601.jpg I also love to look for shed deer antlers every spring as well. It's a passion, obsession, and an addiction!

      Fred was in the fertilized egg business. He had several hundred young pullets, and ten roosters to fertilize the eggs He kept records, and any rooster not performing went into the soup pot and was replaced. This took a lot of time, so he bought some tiny bells and attached them to his roosters. Each bell had a different tone, so he could tell from a distance, which rooster was performing. Now, he could sit on the porch and fill out an efficiency report by just listening to the bells. Fred's favourite rooster, old Butch, was a very fine specimen, but this morning he noticed old Butch's bell hadn't rung at all! When he went to investigate, he saw the other roosters were busy chasing pullets, bells-a-ringing, but the pullets, hearing the roosters coming, would run for cover. To Fred's amazement, old Butch had his bell in his beak, so it couldn't ring. He'd sneak up on a pullet, do his job and walk on to the next one. Fred was so proud of old Butch, he entered him in the City Show and he became an overnight sensation among the judges. The result was the judges not only awarded old Butch the "No Bell Piece Prize," but they also awarded him the "Pulletsurprise" as well. Clearly old Butch was a politician in the making. Who else but a politician could figure out how to win two of the most coveted awards on our planet by being the best at sneaking up on the unsuspecting populace and screwing them when they weren't paying attention. Vote carefully in the next election, you can't always hear the bells.

      High Country Suburban build confirmation

      By 3CarSeatDad · Posted

      Can someone confirm if the GM order workbench terminal is able to validate a custom build sequence:   1) Initialize the Allocation Base: Open a new vehicle build queue, select the 2026 Chevrolet Suburban 4WD, and pick the High Country (3LZ Preferred Equipment Group).   2) Select the Diesel Powertrain: Go directly to the engine configuration screen and choose RPO code LZ0 (3.0L Duramax Turbo-Diesel). Ensure it maps to the MHS 10-speed automatic transmission.   3) Deploy the Seating Swap: Navigate to the Interior Options screen and enter RPO code ATT to replace the standard captain's chairs with the power-release 60/40 bench seat. Because you are not trying to force a separate luxury or air-suspension bundle, the standard, premium D07 Fixed Floor Console remains active. The system will accept this change immediately without triggering a warning message.   3)Apply Heavy-Duty Hauling Capability: Input RPO code NHT (Max Trailering Package). The commercial terminal will automatically bundle the required trailering hardware and software modules to support the diesel engine's maximum towing capacity.   5) Layer the Premium Tech and Glass: Separately add code C3U (Panoramic Power Sunroof) and code UKL (Super Cruise) to the order screen.   6) Run the Final Validation: Click the "Validate Order" button at the bottom of the interface.

      Looking at ordering a '26 WT because I want a std cab, std bed

      Spent the last hour or 2 googling and reading up on the spacer thing. I don't like the loss of thread contact on the slip on spacers, but it appears you can get "extended" lug nuts that reach into the hole of the wheel to get back the lost threads. Looks like the only true hubcentric slip on spacers are at least .375". I'd want as little as I could get away with and don't want to cause other clearance issues going any thicker. Bora seems to offer what appears to be a well made .375" spacer and extended lug nuts. I searched here and did find a couple threads recommending Bora. But not cheap. By the time I buy spacers and lugs, new TPMS sensors, then pay a tire shop to install the new sensors, I suspect I'm going to be in over $400. Thinking about running out and getting some washers to put behind the wheel to see if .375" is enough to clear calipers, turn lock to lock without rubbing, and to see if the wheels/tires look strange pushed out a little. This would just be to check fitment.

      Road Master Active Suspension

      By Core-Lokt · Posted

      Roadmaster makes some quality parts; I have their sway bar. I considered the RAS, but I ended up bagging. I didn't know what kind of ride I'd get with RAS, and the bags have interior jounce bumpers, so I can run 0 pounds pressure. I figured I'd have the best of normal suspension ride with assist on-demand. But it seems you got pretty much the same in one item.
