Any mention of the diesel? The power ratings and limited availability of the 6.2 would seem to be pushing buyers toward the oil burner.

Personally I have no issue GM’s choice to keep the power ratings the same. This generation is about losing weight and gaining fuel economy with the 10speed. I have a strong feeling that once MPG figures are released in the coming months the HP/TQ will be the last thing we talk about. Keep in mind that the current trucks can tow between 12-13k when correctly optioned. That’s right on the cusp of HD territory. At this point HP/TQ are just shit and giggle bragging rights anyways. Just my .02

Actually, that's well past some 6.0l HD territory...

Some say they can't offer 6.2 because of fuel mileage standards. I call bullshit on that as it gets about the same as the 5.3. Also how come the other mfg's let you pick any engine in any model including regular cabs. Think about it they get no better mileage than GM trucks and maybe a little less lol. And on top of that they offer more gear ratio options.

Agreed. Imagine a WT reg cab pickup 6.2 with 3:73 gears? That thing would be fun as hell and still get good gas mileage.

I'm confused as I was not being rude.  I corrected his incorrect facts and he got defensive and rude about it, so I said you don't need to get defensive, and that's in turn, rude?  I don't agree with that.

 

The discussion was not about the Ecoboost or turbo engines, it was about Fords 5L v8 making 460hp and GM's 5.3 only making 355hp which I stand by my original statement of apples to oranges.  One is tuned for a car running premium gas and one is for a truck running 87 octane and a tow rating of around 12k lbs.  It's irrelevant. 

you didn't correct any facts

 

The FACT is that ford makes N/A smaller displacement V8's that make much more HP per litre than GM @ the moment. Your "facts" were semantics - just like its semantics trying to argue the point that the 6.2 LT1 is "entirely different" than the 6.2 Ecotec - sure it is. You must not have alot of experience w/ dyno tuning results......

 

So my point is (& so isn't shif_grinds) that there are ways to make more HP w/ smaller displacement while still getting good MPG & reliability. If ford can do it than so can GM.

 

One thing that I like about GM motors is they are architecturally much smaller than Fords....a chevy 6.2 is "smaller" than a ford 5.0

Sure I did. Your post was and still is full of incorrect and irrelevant info.  

 

You were trying to make the point Fords engine is only 4.95 liters.  It's 5.04.  Don't use exact numbers to the hundreth decimel if you don't want to be corrected for being wrong.   

 

And you want to compare Fords high performance 5l Mustang engine to GM's base 5.3 truck engine?   If Fords v8 is the same in their Mustang as it is the F150, why is there a 65hp difference in the rating?

 

The LT1 is nearly the same as the L86.  You're arguing with yourself on that one.   It's also common knowledge GM's small block is physically smaller than Fords 5l. You are the one talking about GMs low power per liter.  Are you arguing both sides of the argument?

      2016 Sierra 5.3L L83 new injectors now runs rich.

      By JAI3 · Posted

      I had a evap sol go bad a couple weeks ago. . I replaced it.  While watching live data at the time I saw I had some cylinder 1 misfires. No MIL but on live data I could see ~50 at startup and about 70 more after an hour a drive all on cyl 1.  I also noticed that the LTFT were -5% to -15% always.  And that bank 2 is always -3% richer than bank 1. Even across all driving modes, city, highway, etc it’s always 3% richer than bank 1. So I start with the misfire. Swapped coil, plug, and plug wires from 1 to 3. No follow. I got an Injector reseal kit, pulled the D/s injector rail, swapped #1 and #3 injectors, resealed them, reinstalled and retested.  The misfire followed to 3. So I ordered and replaced all 8 injectors, spark plugs, and plug wires. Also replaced the 1 time use fuel pipes under the intake manifold.  Injectors that were in the truck since new were  Part # 12668390.  I replaced them with # 12742701 Got from RockAuto. Pretty certain they’re genuine and the correct ones. I called a friend at a parts store who told me “the 12742701 were the correct superseded part # for the originals I was replacing”. So started truck after replacing all that and it’s running -15 - -30 LTFTs. I reset the fuel trims with GDS2 and drove it for a 60 miles trip each way. There have been no changes in the LTFTs.  I checked if the HPFP was leaking into the crankcase. I removed the pvc and watched the trims. No difference.  I checked the alcohol content and it was at 10%  I’m out of ideas here. Truck seems to run great. Just always rich on the fuel trims.  Anyone with any help or ideas would be greatly appreciated.  I ran an injector balance test just for the heck of it and it came back this. I’m confused.  I have gds2 and some other diag tools if anyone knows of anything I should test next.

      Fix one problem and find another.   Truck didn't have a thermostat in it so I flushed out the system today and refilled with 50/50 Dexcool. This truck is so old (LOL) that it has a sticker under the hood alerting people to the fact that it contains such. There is also an orange supplement with the owner's manual alerting the owner that "Your vehicle is one of a number of late production 1995 General Motors vehicles that use a newly developed engine coolant in the cooling system..."   I was still a little flummoxed by what seemed like a rich condition (exhaust smell, and a puff of carbon with a punchy rev). While watching the coolant temperature and testing the thermostat with my scanner, I happened to notice the IAT (incoming air temperature) to the intake was -40F. I know the temp is below average today, but I can still feel my face, and I was wearing shorts.   D'oh!! I realized I had never plugged the IAT back in, and the airbox was out while I was doing coolant. So I paused, reinstalled the airbox and plugged in the IAT, and viola. Things cleared right up, and I watched the coolant temp climb to a reported 198 degrees on the scanner (195 thermostat) and then it dropped to 194 (open) and then back up to 198 and held. Let it cool, came back, checked the coolant level and was satisifed.   Victory lap?   It needed more than the couple of gallons of gas I put in it from almost bone dry, so I ran it up to the gas station. It had earned it, or, at least I was pretty certain I wouldn't be draining or removing the tank anytime soon.   CEL popped on just as I was cruising a nice steady 40mph, just after coasting down a slight downhill curve.. Of course, it did, because, why let me enjoy not having dash emojis for a little while.   I just happened to have the scanner plugged in. I don't text and drive but I might scan and drive. Don't tell the police.   P0401, EGR flow insufficient.    Well, hello, EGR... ...my old friend! Welcome to the party, now that the engine reaches the factory-programmed operating temperature. I'm sure it was gagging on hostile, rich exhaust and carbon this whole time so I'll take it off and look again.   At least it's easily accessible, and worst case, about $65 to replace.   To keep, or to sell... Hmm. I want it running correctly either way. It's easier to sell when there are no fault codes.   It needs tires (they're aged out and cracking)   It could probably use an oil pan seal, or maybe the timing cover gasket/ junction with the pan needs redone because I've got an issue there that leaves a drop of oil on the floor.   If I do tires I'm sure they'll say the ball joints could use freshening, and, and, and, and.... At some point I'll have to stop. I can't (shouldn't) make it perfect, that's not what this rig is.

      Take it back. That's about all you can do.  Mark
