Yeah they all have break in procedures I completely ignored in the past. During tests drives I would test them out. It seems today they’re sensitive so it’s probably a good idea to follow the procedure. The other would be changing the oil more frequently in the beginning.
Some common issues reported with the 2016 Silverado 1500 include transmission shudder or rough shifting, air conditioning problems, electrical glitches, power steering concerns, and occasional engine oil consumption. If you're considering buying one, check the vehicle's maintenance records and see whether any recalls or service bulletins have already been addressed.
Yes. If you haven't had a tank replaced yet for heater failure, its time. Those 3 codes are all for the DEF heaters in the tank.
Not gonna fix DEF heater codes. OP needs a tank. 2020-2022 is the most failure year for them.
Correct. You "should" see a poor quality warning and it would have codes stored for DEF quality.
Fluid swap won't fix OP's issue.
Correct. Once the tank is replaced, you have to command a couple of emissions tests via scan tool. DEF tank level reset and a reductant tamper warning test.
Break-in reality check? Very strange to such a cautious (and threatening) break-in procedure on a 2026 vehicle but yet Ram deemed this necessary on their DC650 sport truck.
This is a stock 5.7 Hemi with a blower bolted onto it. Internally nothing different from the engine in millions of other trucks, so why the “excessive” break-in? And why then wouldn’t a “normal” truck also benefit from following it? Rhetorical questions of course…
