Now that had to be an expensive experiment. Is there fuel in the oil? Same symptoms on a 4cyl Equinox would take me directly to a high pressure fuel pump. Same basic pump.

I would check O2 sensors first As something is telling the computer to add fuel. If it is the down stream vs the up stream. Many things can demand fuel Maf being one of them But it has many codes for that. These truck run rich from the factory but to throw codes...... It could be as simple as air Getting to the o2 but again don't think so.

Involved Region or Country

North America

Condition

A vehicle may have a concern with a SES lamp on and a rich running condition DTC's P0172 and P0175.

Cause

Possible high pressure fuel pump 

Correction

If SI does not Isolate the cause of the rich condition the following may be help full. 

Disconnect the dirty air side of the PCV system 

Plug the vacuum supply 

Start the engine and monitor the fuel trims in closed loop. 

If the fuel trims return to normal this is a good indicator that the high pressure fuel pump is leaking. 

With this concern we do not see a lot of fuel in the crank case, so changing the oil may not isolate the concern. 

When the high pressure fuel pump leaks the PCV will pull the fuel mist straight into the intake causing the concern.  

Note: This is a preliminary temporary diagnostic and repair.

As more investigation information becomes available this PI will be updated or advanced to a bulletin.

I have a '14 5.3 and it just starting throwing this code this past summer. I just got 100k miles. It happens when I let the truck idle for 15 minutes or more (while hooking up my TT) but the CEL turns off after a couple normal drives.

My truck has a Diablo tune btw but I don't think that's the RC.

      Electrical Problem - solved

      Hey everyone, I recently had an issue with my 07 2500HD GMT900. My DRL’s stay on at all times. Right front turn and right mirror turn signal indicator stay on solid at all times. By “at all times” I mean the only way to make them go off is disconnecting the battery. I tore the headlight assemblies out, tried disconnecting the harnesses to eliminate bad wiring at the harness, I unplugged the headlight switch, no change and the mirror turn signal still stayed on. My first thoughts were : Bad bulb and/or socket somewhere, under hood fuse panel bad, bcm bad, tail light or trailer wiring problem, or some random short to power in the harness.  Possibly a bad ground but unlikely. I had a big clue in the fuse panel, it had a burnt smell. I started pulling every fuse that had to do with DRL or right turn/park lamp. Nothing made the right directional turn off but pulling the DRL2 fuse made the DRL’s go out.  After studying wiring diagrams, I found that both problems had that fuse panel in common, the bcm also controls both problems but knowing the fuse panel had a burnt smell I removed and disassembled the fuse panel and found a little corrosion on the printed circuit board.  I ordered a new fuse panel from Amazon for like $260. When it arrived I installed it, and put everything back together, the problem was fixed. I figured the fuse panel needed to be replaced anyway so that was a logical place to start. Hopefully this story helps someone in the future. Regretfully I didn’t scan for codes before I did everything.

      That stinks. I’m sitting on the side of the road right now with the same issue. Never had an issue before taking it in for the ground strap recall. Now I’m outside of warranty and they’ll probably want $200 just to diagnose what they already “fixed”.

      “It should be recognized, however, that there becomes a point where fuel economy oils do not make much economic sense for the end consumer—we talk about a fuel saving of ~€100 compared to a risk of €1000 Euros if the oil is too thin and causes increased engine wear rates. However, the benefit of these oils accrues to the car manufacturers. If their vehicles can save 1–2% fuel by using a special fuel economy lubricant, then that OEM can drastically reduce the amount of fines they need to pay.”   I liked this and the following paragraph as well but it’s really only touching the beginning of the benefits OEMs see from spec’ing these oils. After you factor in “out of warranty” service work and new car sales when these engines fail before their time, it’s a good racket for them. Just because you're paranoid doesn't mean they're not out to get you!
