Well. Gals and Gents this topic was started for people who want to like or appreciate a new innovation. It will be a lot more fun to keep the negatives for another forum topic.   Yes it's a new engi

Did spark plugs on my 2022 LTD (non-HO) 2.7T yesterday. Not a bad install. It can be done in less than 1 hour. The biggest PITA is loosening/removing the nuts on the bracket that sits right over top the cylinder 4 coil pack, so you can move it out of the way to remove the coil and plug. The old plugs looked uniformly worn, although the gap was all over the spec, so it was definitely time to replace them. The old plugs didn't indicate any issues with the engine that I could tell.

 

Fun fact. GM Recommends 60,000 mile spark plug intervals on these engines. I was at 95,000...

 

Made a video documenting the process. Give it a watch and a like. I appreciate it.

have you noticed any change in how the engine performs


I only took it on a short drive to the store. It seemed to about the same. I have some serious highway driving this week, I’ll see how it feels and report back.

Do we have any high-mileage owners of the the four banger? My 20' just ticked over 60k no problems, and I have a 23' no problems so far!

Correct me… I have just noticed GM gives a longer powertrain warranty up to 100,000 miles for L3B (2.7T) engines. Is this applied to 2024 model only or 2019-2023 too? Mine is 2022 LTD. Thanks.

The only thing I've had to do with the 2020 that I have is the EVAP Purge Pump/Valve whatever it is. They had to drop the gas tank and put the part in. It was a TSB. (59,800 mi)

Thank you so much for posting this here! I will do this for mine when hitting 60K. BTW, just want to know how much dealers are asking for this and also a transmission fluid change for our 2.7Ts.... Had anyone had these at dealer?

Nice video!  I always put a little bit of dielectric grease on the spark plug boots.  Makes the next change easier to get the boots off.

Interestingly, I don't think they put a oil temp sensor on these. I can get dam near everything else but oil temp.  Im gonna follow up with Banks though just to make sure I'm on the right config vehicle wise and if maybe doing the 3.0 diesel will give me more monitors. Right now it's just GM and sync'd with the base GM ECU settings.

was monitoring my truck with gds2 hooked to try and find why i get a shutter when i let off the throttle and reapply the throttle. while watching the camshaft profile i have discovered that pulling the 2 fuses for afm does nothing, the camshaft profile still shows the cylinders being deactivated and afm is part of the shutter. the only time i noticed there was not any afm activity was driving it in manual mode, did not try tow mode but will later

Roller followers have had a TECH bulletin for failures. The cylinder deactivation is mechanical unless you are in manual trans mode shift and stay in lower gears. Or automatic and it’s in lower gears but it will always upshift asap in normal cruise level etc. Not sure what year yours is.

      Doors lock and mirrors fold in while driving

      By BIGBOYS · Posted

      I have a 2015 Silverado and sometimes I can not get in to the truck. I use the key to unlock the driver door. Something is locking the truck when I unlock it, last night I left the truck open and this morning it was locked with the mirrors folded in. This happens while driving so it is now a safety issue. I reach down for the folding button and they open, then they close again.  Any advice, thank you,   Ed

      Wow I'm in a pickle. (Broke down truck) and a story.

      By Atlas · Posted

      tl; dr I've now reached the 6th floor of hell. I'm chronicling my journey for my morning readers.   Pulling the top of the intake apart was moderately easy but it involved a lot of parts, connections, and minutae. I was preparing for the new fuel lines to arrive ("nut and bolt kit" it's called). The fuel line connections are notched and held in place by the manifold and a metal plate with a T27 screw.   It's on the back of the intake, under the firewall, with little clearance, and two hard metal fuel lines in the way. I was using Franken-tools (weird combinations of 1/4 inch ratchet with/without an extension, with a bit holder for my T27) to get in there. One of my sockets and bits fell off and has yet to emerge on the floor. I lost a second setup and that's when I almost started throwing tools. But that was the point at which I had gotten traction on the Torx head, and it promptly stripped. No more traction.   I started humming "1-877-kars-4-kids" because I was about at that point. You know what? I'm $1500 into this thing and I can make it disappear just as quickly. This isn't fun anymore. I had spent a lot of time already "tidying" around the engine bay: Fixing all the "someone's been here before!" BS. The truck has been exclusively dealer- and shop- serviced and I'm reminded of why I never let other people work on my cars unless absolutely necessary.   Speaking of dealer service. This truck has a 1" stack of records going back to 1995. I put them all in an excel spreadsheet, date/mileage/description.   The CPI spider has been replaced 4 times in 85k miles. The EGR? Another 4. Multiple, multiple O2 sensors. One Cat. 4? Sets of plugs and wires, and I swear half the stack is diagnosis paperwork for "misfire, runs rough, extended crank, dies at stoplights".   GM was producing some proper crap back then. And it was still well within the era of brittle/crappy plastic. (Windows 95 was released the same month this truck was sold new, we HAD the technology!!)   There (was) a plastic shroud around the evaporator core and HVAC fan in the engine bay. I noticed a chunk of it missing so I poked at it some more and it literally shattered. Touched it some more and pieces were crumbling off. Had a good laugh. Clearly whatever plastic garbage they were using had broken down over 30 years and was literally turning to dust. That was a good half hour of using a shop vac to remove the rest of it.   Back to it.   I was going to give up for the evening but then decided I'm already level 10 pissed off at the stripped screw: G* D* it, give me my tools back -- and my JOY. We'll do this the hard way: The whole intake is coming off.   Blazer won Round II. After finally finding and accessing the 12 intake bolts and using a pry bar to unseat it from the heads, it popped loose in an explosion of gunk and grime raining down into open ports. Awesome.   6 times I reminded myself: Be careful of the temperature sender on the front of the intake.   YEAH, I forgot again and snapped it clean off in the removal. Add another $20 to the ever-growing list of new parts this thing is consuming.   The shame is, long before removing the intake, I had changed the oil in prep for Tuesday's momentous fuel line replacement that was going to be the magic fix and I'd have a running Blazer to tool around in this next weekend. The intake removal, including raining gunk, also gushed dirty coolant all over the valley. Of course it did. Welp, there goes another $35.   I now need an intake gasket set, bolt set, coolant temp sensor, another 5 quarts of oil, some RTV. Don't worry, I've already got 3 new jugs of Dexcool and a thermostat waiting. I'll fill it with clean water first to get it running, dump it, and then add the Dex later on in case... well, let's not go there. I'm only tearing this down once, next time the truck is going on Marketplace for FREE.   Oh, and I'm going to need vacuum hose for all the stupid connections placed at the rear of the engine which have since disintegrated. Come on, GM....tell me you don't do that anymore?   Oh, and the ears on the distributor where the cap screws down are both cracked. I mean, why not put a new distributor in it too. You get a distributor, YOU get a distributor, Everyone gets a new distributor!   This truck isn't out of the woods yet...I'm already questioning how much more time I'm willing to sink in.

      Bent valve in 2025 GMC Canyon Denali - Requires engine swap at 14K miles

      By William Aldrich · Posted

      NewDude, thank you for the suggestions!    I did follow up and the dealer indicates he has an open CX case and is working with DPAC (Dealer Parts Assistance Center).   Per the dealer, GM has had a quality spill and is not providing an update for when a replacement engine will be available.
