Ok so a while back I posted about my 2500HD running rough, I changed the Injectors  (2 weren’t firing) and then it ran  as bad if not worse and started knocking.   

 

Well today day I finally got around to pulling the engine apart to find #3 rod broke in half and into pieces.   Anyone have any ideas  on what happened?

I have owned the truck since it has 15000 miles it was a GM program vehicle.   It now has 130,000.    

 

I currently can’t prove this but my brother and I both believe the injector was bad and pumped the cylinder full of fuel and hydrolocked the engine causing the rod to break.

      Converting Gen 3 LS to Gen 4 Vehicle
      By Dillion Padgett
      I recently bought a (Gen 3) LQ4.
      I'm trying to swap this into an (Gen 4) 07' Silverado which uses 58x Reluctor, 4x Cam Gear, Front Timing Cover/Crank Sensor, and 2 Knock Sensors located in the sides of the block.

      I have a (Gen 4) Truck, So the timing cover/ crank sensor/ knock sensors can be used. I also have a (Gen 4) ECM/Harness.
      I know I need to get 58x Reluctor Gear put on & get a 4x cam gear already

      My questions are as follows:
      1. Can I put a 4x Cam Gear on a (Gen 3 Cam) ? or do I need to get a (Gen 4 Cam) for the (Gen 4 Cam Gear) to work ?
      2. Can I use the (Gen 4 Knock sensors) on the side of the (Gen 3 LQ4) ? Just drill/tap & mount them ?
      3. If I keep the (Gen 4 Fuel Setup) could I just install that on the (Gen 3 LQ4) ?

      Any help or advice will be appreciated.
      I'll be documenting everything so others will have better knowledge when putting a Gen 3 Block into a Gen 4 Vehicle. 
      Thanks guys !

      Vin number on new truck orders
      By Jackson Hyde
      I ordered a GMC 2500 At4 6.6 liter gas engine on April 4th 2022. After I got the order number I found out how to get on gmcs website to check on production with the virtual assistant on 4/10. That day I found out my vehicle was already produced however it is now 4/20 and i still do not have a vin number so that my dealership can set up tracking. does anyone know how long it usually takes a finished truck to get its vin number??? accidently posted this on someone elses forum the first time sorry new member to this sorta thing

      2021 2500hd trans problem?
      By Daler442
      New to the site, have a 2021 2500hd  with 6.6 gas. Yesterday was turning around in my driveway and heard a bang, then check engine light,  trac light,  reduced engine power,  service parking brake  lights all came on. I can run through the gear shift, but it won't engage any gears. When I have it in r or d if I touch the gas it revs up and speedo keeps going up. Looked at shift linkage and it does move, so I'm guessing a serious internal trans issue?? Anyone else have an issue like this? Thank you , 
      Update, just pulled code p215b , output shaft speed correlation

      ABS Light and Service brake light on, truck stuck in 1st gear
      By Chevy25002007
      Hello,
       
      I own a 2007 Chevy 2500HD Classic, I was driving around when suddenly my ABS light came on as well as my service brake system light came on. When this happened my transmission became stuck in 1st gear in drive mode, but when I used the manual mode to shift it into 2nd it worked, also when I put the truck in reverse it stalled on me, these are a very strange group of symptoms and they’ve all started happening at once, also the speedometer stoped working as well.  I have no idea where to start with this so I’m hoping someone has a slight idea of where to start, Thank you!
