@customboss glad the video helped! It's def not a tough task, but supermanning on the radiator support definitely makes it a little tougher. I wish I had one of those engine bay creepers when I did mine.

Mine is a trail boss so that 2" lift really stressed the neck fusion as my fatass hung over the grill !

I just picked up a 24 with the 2.7L. For some reason I am drawn to small displacement turbo engines, owned a couple of the Ford 2.7s also. Every Youtube video I have watched on this thing though, everyone seems to ****** on it. I can only assume it was the same way when Ford started the ecoboost line.

This design is so much better and simpler than the Ecoboost versions and it makes less carbon on valve train. Read up here and enjoy, WELCOME 4 popper turbo new guy!

Update on my 2.7L oil consumption using Mobil 1 5W30 High Mileage formula. I currently have 3000 miles on my current oil change interval. yesterday I checked the oil and it was on the very bottom of the hash marks of the dipstick after sitting overnight. The level has dropped from the initial level about 3/4 up on the hash marks. These seems to be on par with previous oils used, I added about a 1/3 quart to bring it back up to around halfway on the dipstick. Will continue to monitor over the next 2000 miles on this interval.

 

Still no leaks, this baby just likes to eat that oil.

Yesterday the check engine light came on (2023 Sierra 2.7 Turbomax). No info from truck or GM app. All seemed fine. Ran fine, no issues. This morning the light is no longer on.

 

I did a google search and it says this can happen on these engines and its due to a loose wiring connection to the transmission. Anyone come across this?

All depends on the code it set.

Never had that and it may not have set a code of wire loose or making intermittent contact.

Thanks for update. On second oil change of Chevron Delo 600 10w30 that has no ZDDP. No oil usage in 3700 miles of use. Total miles on 2.7L 2022 LTD is 53,900. 
You are way over 100,000 right? 
Amsoil PI going on Maverik E15 today to keep injectors clean.

Additional note: 

1) been trying to do 1 min idle cool down to allow temps on head and turbo stabilize. I suspect that temp rise not being stabilized cooks our oils. Which would volatize or coke/varnish enough over a drain to consume some volume of oil. 
2) I check oil in am after being shut down all night same position in garage. 
 

I'm getting more consistent oil readings with those two techniques.

The light has come back on and stayed on for the last few days. I can't bring it in to the dealer until the 29th, but I put a code reader on it and got: U0285 (lost communication with active grille air shutter actuator 2)

      Travel Trailer 2024 2500 HD 6.6 Gas Engine ?

      By Tyler Gibbs · Posted

      The curb weight on a 1 ton crew cab long bed is around 7k lbs.  Now, I don't know where you went to school but 9k is not more than 2x 7k lbs. More than 2x 7k lbs would be 14k+.   With that said, obviously yes you're going to feel a 9k lb trailer when slowing down.  I already said, when accelerating.  When changing lanes?  No.  But if you look at the context of what was quoted, the original person said, "after a mile or two..." which means that would be after the accelerating portion and you're driving a generally steady pace.  Please do learn to read and comprehend.

      Like I've said before. Di and Carbon buildup is not that big of a concern. Engine had minimal buildup, and that engine was obviously not super well maintained. Do regular oil changes, and you're gtg as long as the rest of the truck lasts. Also, the High Pressure FP that people ****** about, but can't tell you why.  Now, I wish they'd trash the variable oil pump. No real world issues with them, but I'll gladly eat whatever miniscule MPG it's saving me in favor of more oil at all RPMs.    Curious to see his assessment of the 7.3 compared to the 6.6. I expect he'll praise the port inj, but from a structural standpoint, the 6.6 is as robust as any engine out there.    Not to take away from the 7.3. I feel it's equally as good as the 6.6.     As to heat on the rear cyls, I'd have to see numerous examples before I'd say it's an issue. Especially not knowing the history of that engine. For all is known, they could have blown a rad hose, and ran it hot, and the 2 rear cyls may be the first to get hot in a low coolant situation, but not be an issue aside from that.

      "Life is getting back to normal."    I'm driving again and all new joints are operating as expected for this stage of recovery.   My most recent joint replacement still requires a lot of attention but experience has taught me that time will quiet the remaining pain.  I joked with my surgeon that another joint replacement would take my mind off my most recent surgery and he responded by saying the next will be a hip!  There are no plans for another surgery but, unlike me, I don't think he was joking!  I certainly wouldn't refuse further replacement  if required but hope to spend time out of the "post-op"  period.  I can't stress enough that if you have been recommended for total hip, knee or shoulder replacement that you welcome the offer.  Post-op "recovery" may sound daunting and painful, however, this is far better than the insidious erosion of mobility you are currently experiencing.  Imagine what it would feel like to wake up most mornings feeling better and more mobile than you did the previous day!  Prior to my first surgery in June 2025, even getting out of bed was becoming a formidable task.  Since the day after my first surgery, I get out of bed everyday easily and unassisted.  Making the switch to feeling a little better each day rather than a little worse, is hugely motivating!
