The ‘17 Sierra 1500 6.2L idle is a little weak and its knocking or ticking some. This is the first time I changed the oil, other times by dealer. Oil pressure looks normal.

 

I put in the required 8qts 0w/20 dexos 1 Gen 2, dipstick is fine, put on the a new oul filter (same as others), and all Acdelco as it has been. Do these motors take a little bit to run correctly after an engine oil change? Never had a motor do this.

Try some CRC GDI  I put a can into the intake just before every oil change and all of my stumbling goes away.

Was it doing anything differently before you changed oil?

Nope.

this freaking dipstick. It’s reading above hatch mark now and below the dot by the tip on the other side. That’s a huge difference.

And was after I took 16+oz out, basically a little over a quart. I gotta imagine there’s quite a bit left in there even after draining for 30 to 45 minutes, becuase the new oil is dark when I drained that amount. 

 

So I have 7quarts new in there, plus whatever was left in the system from the drain, puts it over hatch and under tip dot. Freaking baffling dipstick and changing oil is not something new to me.

Lets keep this simple to start with.

8 quarts with a filter change is normal right?

Owners manual info.

Oil change will not cause motor problems.

It just decided to have a problem at that time IMO.

I would start here.

Put some Sea Foam in the gas tank and clean the throttle body.

Drive it and see what happens.

My guess is putting 8qts in with the stuff left in the system was causing a lifter or something issue. I took a qt out and the noise went away. I hate how the dipstick reads. 

After sitting over night, the hatch mark side, inserted facing the firewall, showed plenty over top hatch. I took out a qt and its still over hatch and the opposite side of the stick reads at below the dot by tip. Say what? 

I think this stick reads weird.

No lights or DIC oil warning.

6.2L = 8qt

and diyer2, an oil change can cause motor issues e.g., too little, too much will cause issues.

Just shy of 19K. Noise went away with taking 1qt out. Have no idea whats really in it now, but my guess is even after draining for 45mins, there’s at least half to 3/4 qt, maybe more, old oil in there given how dark the new oil was when I took out the qt. There has to be a lot of places for the oil to sit in these motors. I drained the pan and then took the filter off and oil just gushed out from the filter tube. So I can just imagine areas where it sits and cannot flow down on its own.

I'd just leave it how it is now and just put some sea foam or additive in the oil like Lucas oil additive

No need for fuel addivtives or fuel cleaners. I’m 99% sure the noise was due to oil being over full. It’s incredibly stupid how different the dipstick will read from 30mins after running the motor to a few hours later. Just need to figure out this freaking dipstick so I can get real oil readings. Annoying shit.

      Help purchasing a touch screen digitizer

      By mark249 · Posted

      Brought my 2015 Colorado into the dealership to check my touch screen issues, had that ghost touch thing happening. They said I needed a new touch screen and they could either order me one for $500. The lady at the service deck was nice enough to tell me I could order a touch screen online for less, she did stipulate that the touch screen had to be factory OEM, you can't pair an aftermarket screen to my radio seeing it was 2015, it had to be a GM factory OEM only. I found a few on Amazon and Ebay by the numbers on the back of the old screen, DJ080PA-01A GM# 22740886, Some said "OEM" in the description and others just said "Replacement". Would a replacement be the same as a OEM as long as it had the same numbers on the back of the screen? In some of the descriptions they also show different brand names but same numbers, is that an issue?

      I have both but typically use the 4 legged walker (wheels on front, ski's on back).   The four wheeler is starting to be used on "longer" outdoor walks.  The 4 legged walker is particularly helpful in practicing good walking posture.  Both of my knees are at different stages of recovery and I'm trying to not develop poor habits.  I can actually manage with a cane but it's very difficult not to favor one leg over the other.  My PT recommends I continue with my 4 legged walker for a while.  Yesterday was four weeks since my last knee replacement and I'm excited about my progress to date.  It has been a hell of a rough journey so far but it is exciting to witness  systematic and continuous improvement.  I went for years watching the decline of my "mobility".  It seems that everyday now I am alerting my wife to something I can do now that I couldn't a day or two ago!  I encourage anyone facing the prospect of knee replacement to share any concerns with others who have had the surgery.  It isn't an instant fix but rather is a considerable amount of short term pain for long term gain.  Recovery time and pain levels vary for individuals post surgery but the end results are typically very positive and I've never encountered anyone regretting having had the surgery.

      The lifter issue can be dealt with by shorter oil changes and quality oil IMO.

      Wiring Help, Please

      By Core-Lokt · Posted

      I'm putting in an A-pillar pod/gauges, and I'm asking if anybody can identify a (preferably) fuse for a switched power and illumination circuit on the driver's side interior fuse panel. Offhand, everything I checked with a test light was constant-hot, and I'd much rather uses a piggyback fuse. I can certainly find a wire, but I'd rather not half-tap.   Thanks in advance for any help.
