Anyone have a 2017 gmc that runs hotter than normal at times? My 2014 ran at 100 C at all times no matter what.

This new truck will run upwards of 112 c and then cool back off when you let off or resume normal cruising after passing. Dealer was no help, said it wasn't really overheating yet so don't worry.

I have had many, many gm trucks and this is the only one that does this.

My general rule of thumb is I don’t want to see anything above 210F on a 5.3. But in the direct injected times we’re in now, they can and will run hotter at times based on calculations made by the ECM. Mainly to burn fuel more efficiently and reduce emissions. Now, if the cooling fan isn’t coming on Your have a thermostat that doesn’t fully open, those could be issues.

Maybe the active aero shutters have something to do with this?

I've posted about this earlier, though mine is a 6.2, not sure if it's the active grill shutters or not, but I've driven several 6.2 trucks now and they all do it. I've been looking at possibly removing the top two shutters and let the other ones in. Hopefully when I get time ill look in to it. Also the thermostat in our trucks is 207 degree opening temp, while the Camaro and Corvette 6.2 use a 194, you can buy the housing with thermostat from gm for the Camaro and Corvette and it will bolt on. I may try this as well

My 2017 6.2 runs hotter than my 2015 5.3 did.  No problem and appears normal.

My 2017 5.3 runs goes a good bit over 210 under load (epically when towing), but cools down quickly. Not too worried about it

My 17 Camaro SS runs around the 190° mark, truck is always sitting at the 210° mark. I am tempted to order the OEM 194° from the LT1 and put it into the truck.

      Intermittent no-code issues on 2022.5+ V8 trucks — what did the shop fail to capture?

      By bluev8 · Posted

      New member here. I am researching a read-first event-recorder concept for late-model GM V8 trucks. This is not a sales post. There is no product link, price, preorder, or mailing list. I am trying to determine whether the underlying problem is real before building anything.   Has your truck ever had a brief problem such as: - rough running or a momentary misfire - an oil-pressure warning or unusual pressure event - reduced power or a brief stall - a U-code or lost-communication problem - a symptom that disappeared before the dealer or independent shop could reproduce it   If so, I would appreciate the following details: - year, model, engine, and mileage - what happened and under what conditions - whether a DTC and useful freeze-frame data were stored - whether the shop was able to reproduce it - what the eventual confirmed repair was, if known - what additional information would have helped the diagnosis   The concept being evaluated is a removable leave-in recorder that continuously retains a rolling window from before and after an event. It would not tune, reflash, clear codes, or change the vehicle calibration.   I am also not claiming that it could predict lifter failure or see every internal ECM variable.   The real question is whether continuous event history would add enough useful evidence beyond freeze frame, GDS2, and existing scan tools — or whether it would simply be another unnecessary gadget.   For owners and technicians, which problem would make something like this genuinely useful: 1. intermittent misfire or AFM/DFM-related behavior 2. oil-pressure events 3. lost communication or electrical faults 4. none of the above Please be blunt. Negative feedback is just as useful as positive feedback.

      No tears over the SLE and SLT trim levels disappearing but I kind of loathe the "Elevation" name. It's a truck--skip the elegance.   The slab-dashboard design is decidedly different. Almost has a Hummer flavor to it. "Professional Grade" seems to be leaning very white-collar, tech-driven these days moreso than blue-collar, functional design.   The Silverado would be my choice between the two new trucks. Pleased with the engine lineup in both. The GMC is a little "too much" for a truck, IMO, and the Denali borders on ridiculous - but I do know there are buyers for luxury trucks out there. It's just not my speed.

      - I like the outside but not as much as the Chevrolet.  They ICE'd the EV styling and it works, but I think exterior goes to Chevy on this one.     - SLE and SLT dead = Not.  Surprising.  Fits into the rest of the GMC lineup like this which (aside from Pro) matches the rest of the family.  Elevation, AT4, Denali.     - Interior.  Sophisticated Malaise era.  Why do I say Malaise?  Drawn with a ruler.  Rectangles everywhere.  Looks very premium though.

      I may be old school. But I’ll pass. I’ll stick with the old stuff. Thank you.
