Hey guys, popped the hood to empty my catch can and quickly noticed it appears that something is living under my hood at night because my plastics are dirty,  but the real question i have here is... is the big air intake/silencer crooked ? I dont recall it being like this but... who knows.

 

Its a 6.2L 2015.

UPDATE:

As mentioned in posts below, something (or somehow) moved the intake up enough to make the bracket get misaligned from a knotch where it should be.  Crazy! This thing does not easily wiggle around so no idea how it happened.

 

Pics! Also I ended up wiping out the throttle body - it was kind of dirty but didnt seem too oily... catch can is working? Havent cleaned the throttle body since 33k miles ago when I installed the catch can at about 1200 miles.

That does look really crooked!  I think the only thing holding it in is the clamp to the throttle body.  Could loosen it and try to straighten.

Ill have to check into that.  I was kind of wiggling it around, it doesnt really move freely... so strange...  checked my phone for previous engine bay pics, none!

man I wonder what the hell happened.  I think the left side of mine needs to go back towards the firewall if I'm not mistaken.  Look at the tube, its bent outta wack... robbing hp and mpgs:D

 

I felt all the connections on it, everything felt ok so at least it appears that everything has been functioning.  Tomorrow after work I'll have to have to mess around with it and see what I can do.

 

Is anyone able to snap a picture of this from the passenger side of the truck?

There is a notch under the left side of the intake that slides onto, and sits on a bracket that keeps it in position. It looks like from your photo that maybe the intake has come off of the bracket so is now sitting crooked. Maybe the critter crawling around your engine compartment pushed the intake off the bracket?

I think I know exactly which bracket you are talking about, I remember seeing it yesterday when looking into the engine bay from the passenger side.  I remember seeing a notch in the "silencer" and thought hmm I wonder if the bracket should be slid into this notch... I gave it a little tug but it didn't really move much and I wasn't sure how hard I could start tugging on this thing.   I will check it today after work and report back tonight.

 

I can't believe a critter would have that much strength! lol

It's not factory nor do they come with them from the factory.  You can't see it in any of the pictures, I have it mounted where the spare battery tray is / windshield washer fluid area.  You can see the two hoses running to the can in both pictures where I capture most of the engine bay.

How much oil is it picking up? have to empty it much , I am not under the hood much only checking the oil  I think It would be just something I would forget ,  Not like years ago always hood up or under it, I think it was an excuse to drink some suds

In the summer time I'm only getting maybe an ounce or two per thousand miles.  In fact I drove 3,004 miles round trip last summer on a vacation and there was only a couple ounces of oil in there.  It's the winter time (not FL winters, MI winters etc...) where you really gotta be mindful of checking it often, weekly in my opinion.  It fills up a lot faster due to condensation.  There are a few threads in the forum here which have a lot of additional info.

      Notes 7/18/2026   3,400 miles on this batch of Mobil 1 Euro 5W40 since the GDI pump replacement. Alcohol runs very clean when ring seal is tight and the sump isn't getting hosed with fuel. Checked oil level at fill up today as is my practice and grabbed a white Kleenex to look at the color. What color?  I was going to change it but.....

      Gas Prices

      Interesting, I suspect I would have fueled up in Lee Vining as the day prior I would have filled up either in Laughlin or near there and maybe again before I entered Death Valley and once out the other side late that evening as I kept on driving into the night up near Lee Vining. Next morning I most likely fueled up in LV before heading over Tioga Pass into ( as I refer to it as "Yose .... Mite" 😁 ). And again that was 19 years ago but the price then must not have jumped out at me like the 5 bill a gallon theme of nutty cult hippy country Big Sir or head so far up their rear Aspen. I'd be curious to know where the highest prices are in the lower 48, I probably would not be far off to guess somewhere in Cali forn ie. Coldfoot and Prudhoe bay may have those prices beat but that is a whole other world up there and when prices are more normal elsewhere that is about what they can be up there I believe in no mans land. Anyway interesting that the 395 corridor is hosing people and the thing is, its tourist season and its not like there are a lot of competition options when driving up that highway from what I could see. Yup, big ole Boaterhomes and various other RV's ahead and behind me at the Yosemite entrance gate and they have to get their fuel somewhere.

      Those can be high, as well as the big California cities. The ones that will pop your eyes out are the 395 corridor on the Eastern side of the Sierra Nevadas. Lee Vining, $7.19 for regular and $8.89 for diesel is what the Google said right now.

      Correct.  2019-2021 model years are serviced by a different p/n.  19420611.  Recall 2021s use 19420611.   The recall engines 2022-2024 model years are serviced with 12740076.     The difference between 19420611 and 12740076 is GM changed injector size for 2022.  The injectors are smaller on 12740076 with smaller injector bores in the cylinder heads to match the smaller injectors.  So you can't install a 19420611 in a 2022-2024, and you can't install a 12740076 in a 2019-2021.     Both engines are the replacement engine p/ns that are in the L87 recall.  So both of these are the updated engines.     Here's a version of the L87 recall with the p/ns for all the parts needed.    RCRIT-25V274-7075.pdf   Note it shows 19420611 and 12740076 with an asterisk to a footnote "Use the VIN and the GM Electronic Parts Catalog (EPC) to determine which part to order if two or more part numbers are listed for the same part, as it may vary by vehicle options."
