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) 

 

 

Lower grille shutter is likely failed.

 Is it ok to drive for another week? probably hurting my fuel economy and making the cooling system work harder?

Had this happen a few weeks ago.

 

You're fine to drive, but your cooling fans will be on full blast (the computers can't figure out if the shutters are open or closed).

 

There is a TSB on this. There's a wire that can get pinched and/or water in a connector.

 

It was less than an hour labor.

When i turn the truck off it does sound like the fan was running hard as I can hear it power down more than I normally would. Makes sense.

 

Considering the amount of rain storms I've been driving through lately maybe it is water related.

 

I'm glad it is just this. When the check engine light came on my first thought was "this truck isn't even a year old whats happening?".

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. 

 

My work travel schedule has been much lighter in the first third of 2024, compared to the entirety of 2023, so my mileage  is right around 103,500.

So i finally got the truck in for the check engine light. they replaced the air shutter, took it for a test drive, and the engine light came back on. They called and said its pulling a different code now (relating to temperature sensor) saying the truck thinks it is -40 degrees outside. 

 

All I gotta say is... ???

 

This is my first GM vehicle since 2003. My last vehicle was a Hyundai Tucson that never had these kind of issues 21,000kms in.

Try driving that Tucson in 3' of blowing and drifting snow up here at 10,000' msl ....I have 55,000 miles on my 2022 LTD 2.7L Trail Boss and it has not let me down and I beat the heck out of it.  Get it fixed under warranty and enjoy it.

Now they are getting a new code relating to temperature sensor. They told me they had to order a new ECM. They got one in, tried installing it, said they were unable to program it because it was defective, so ordered another one.

 

Is this legit or do they not know what they are doing?

Short term but great offer on BIOSYNTHETIC 5w30 Gonna test it in the Trail Boss.

 

$3.5/qt for case of 12 free ground shipping on $50 or more. 
 

Used to consult and test for RLI and they are a fantastic US Farmer family owned business in Ohio. 
 

I will test with RLI alone and then mix it with the Delo 600 10W30 to get that cold pump flow down in winter here. May experiment with Delo 600 10w30 and Mobil 1 5w30 for same reason. 
 

Delo has reduced oil usage to less than a qt in 6000 miles. 

 

RLI flash 448F vs Delo 446F 

 

For you guys who’ve wanted a high ester oil that meets or exceeds Dexos 1 Gen 3 that’s only reportable chemistry on RLIs SDS is ZDTP here’s the lowest cost deal in the universe for $3.50 a qt because if an overstock issue.

RLI has great products.  Looking forward to how it performs.  The price is great and anyone that wants to try it should take advantage of this low price.

      Replacing 2.7L on 2021 Silverado with 2023 2.7L

      I’m definitely interested to hear the end result here.

      Another 6.2L engine failure!

      By MASONV88888888 · Posted

      My 2025 Silverado 1500 had to receive a brand-new engine (long block) under warranty last month at only around 16,500 miles. Before the replacement, the truck repeatedly displayed "Engine Oil Level Low" warnings, even though the Oil Life Monitor still showed around 50% remaining after about 6,000 miles since my last oil change. After seeing the warning several times, I checked the dipstick with the engine cold, and the oil level was completely normal. The next day, the message escalated to "Add Engine Oil." At first, I assumed it was just a faulty oil level sensor, so I brought the truck to the dealership. After inspecting the engine, they found internal cylinder wall scoring and ultimately replaced the entire long block under warranty. Before this happened, I was planning to install a 4-inch lift and suspension upgrade on my truck. After needing a new engine at just 16,500 miles, I honestly don't see the point anymore. I also contacted GM to ask whether my vehicle qualified for a buyback, but I was informed that it does not at this time. Anyway, this experience has left me with serious concerns about the long-term reliability of this engine. I sincerely hope NHTSA expands the current investigation or recall to include 2025 model and performs a thorough inspection of affected vehicles. My biggest concern is that these engines may fail shortly after the powertrain warranty expires. If GM truly stands behind this engine, then at the very least, please consider extending the powertrain warranty to 10 years for affected owners. That would go a long way toward restoring customer confidence.

      OCI, not when but why?

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Without exception but then I'm the odd duck, right? I know what goes into that test, how it is calculated and thus how to beat it. But EPA values are often not beaten by the general public and the government has in past years adjusted the means and methods to come to those values to more closely approximate "Joe Average".    The only real trick to beating that EPA average is don't drive like "Joe Average".    It's the same method you used to profit from "Economic Migration" and in doing so beat the 'stats'. But you, like me, are not "Joe Average".     The thing you don't seem to grasp is this "Purchasing Power Index" isn't forward looking. It doesn't predict what it going to be but looks backward and states what it was. They are not telling us what the THINK, they are telling us what they MEASURED. Example:    Wife says "I'm going to lose 40 pounds by Christmas". May she does, maybe she doesn't but the doctors office who weighed her when she made that statement and again at Christmas only REPORTS what the RESULT was. You and I can banter about what was possible and what aunt Tilly did till the cows come home but the result is the result. Arguing otherwise is.....irrational. That's all I'm saying. This isn't about:      What you are calling a 'Statistic' is a RESULT not a CALCUATION and as a result the RULE. Like gravity as a rule, it can not be broken.

      Rattle in the rear!

      By MASONV88888888 · Posted

      Just wanted to say thank you for posting this. Years later, your thread is still helping Silverado owners.   I bought my 2025 Silverado 1500 in January 2025, and I've had what feels like the exact same rattle since day one. After reading your findings, I believe my truck has the same issue with the cable carrier contacting the rear sliding window. To be honest, I had pretty much given up on pursuing the issue. It wasn't until I recently drove another brand's pickup that I realized just how quiet their cabin was—and how noisy mine has been all along. On my truck, the rattle happens on almost any paved road, gets even worse on rougher pavement, and I can even hear it during braking and acceleration.   I actually referenced your thread when submitting my case to GM, hoping they'll recognize this as a recurring issue instead of treating it as an isolated incident. The reason I reached out to GM first is because my dealership told me they would need to keep the truck for at least two days just to diagnose the problem. I was concerned that even after two days, they still might not be able to identify the source of the rattle before giving the truck back to me. I had also asked a few dealerships about this issue during previous service visits, but none of them seemed to know what was causing it or had a solution. That's why I decided to contact GM directly first, hoping they might already have an official repair procedure or guidance for this issue.   I also hope GM eventually comes up with an official fix for this problem. I have a feeling there are many Silverado owners experiencing the same rattle, but most either choose to live with it or simply don't know what the cause is.   Really appreciate you taking the time to document your diagnosis. Your post is still making a difference years later.
