Ok, so it's relatively easy to get to for replacement. Knock on wood mine is still good at 107xxx miles. 

Yes you could do it in minutes, if you can get those odd press fittings to release off PCV and fuel vent side to release without breaking, I will post a pic in a few. Still

waiting for ECM reset to clear evap test.

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

They got 6 in today.....I had to go back in for MIL code that did not reset with my old scanner. Plugged in the GM laptop and updated and checked everything. My Scanner still shows a waiting code so we shall see.  Waiting for ECM to finish checks again.  Runs great no matter before or after.  

The story for engine oil usage is that PCV and CCV system is too strong for design.  Hmmm.

Does anyone have one over a 100,000 miles on it with no major problems? 

@fondupot reports over 105,000 no major issues I am aware of.

I am over 107,000 miles now. No major issues, other than the oil consumption issue. I just keep an eye on it and top it off periodically as needed. Knock on wood. Truck has been great. I replaced shocks all around at 95,000. I'm on my second set of tires. Original brakes. Oil changes have been every 5000-6000 miles. Trans, diffs and T-case all serviced 50k intervals. Purrs like a kitten.

That’s great to hear! My truck has 40k on it with no issues. I was going to get the transmission, diff ect… changed out and the dealer said not to unless it was acting funny. I’m going to take it to the next town over’s dealership I think. Has your oil consumption stayed the same? Mine might use a little oil sometimes but it certainly hasn’t gotten worse. I change my oil between 3000-4000 miles. The evap systems on all new cars are a huge pain, we live on a dusty farm and all of our cars end up with clogged or malfunctioning evap systems eventually, no matter what the brand.

I personally think the trans should be serviced at least every 50k. The fluid and filter can only last so long. Especially with hot and dusty usage... I have an independent trans shop do it for me and I think it costs around $250 for a pan service and filter. Worth it in my opinion haven't had any issues with my transmission. It's cheap insurance.

All codes cleared for a day. P146B showing as the MIL code. Solenoid on top of vac canister under truck my only guess sustem

Well I pulled the trigger on a 2024 silverado crew cab 4x4. Went with the 2.7. Been driving it for 2 days and it actually runs better then my 2015 GMC with the 5.3. Really happy so far with truck.

Scheduled appointment next Wednesday and while the truck was idling the MIL extinguished.  Maybe this truck is demon possessed? @Grumpy Bear thoughts?  LOL   Maintenance Supervisor things the new pump is bad. 

 

I am consistently getting 26-28 MPG @ 65 mph on HWY 160 here in CO.  I love this stout 4 popper. Heck these things run in 2 cylinders most of the time cruising.  

 

Oil usage update.  I added 11 ounces of RLI BIOSYN 5w30 @ 2000 miles.   MPG noticeably increased changing the oil back to 5w30 vs 10w30.

      2027 GMC Sierra: Official Discussion

      I hope to high heaven this is wrong. My Chevy farm trucks frame is lasting way longer than a newer Nissan Titan XD I got for a steal, and it only pulls trailers. A decade younger and it's frame is already way rustier than the waxed Chevy I drive across longs and ditches. Also, hasn't Ford been having tones of troubles with rusted frames?

      Batteries don’t always show signs of a few years ago my vehicle started fine in the morning and took me to work. After work the battery was completely dead and I needed a jump. No, I didn’t leave anything on and the battery was only a couple months old. It was replaced under warranty.

      AFM is confirmed in the Corvette engine, so I'm assuming the higher volume trucks will get it as well

      If his battery was that bad I would think it would have been showing signs before this that were ignored. Stinks that it happened the way it did in rush hour traffic, but this seems like a pretty fringe scenario. I don't mind it that bad and never turn it off. The only slight annoyance for me is the slight delay between brake to gas, but I have gotten used to it and figure if it can save a little gas why not.

      Intermittent no-code issues on 2022.5+ V8 trucks — what did the shop fail to capture?

      By bluev8 · Posted

      That is a good correction. I think “severity” was probably the wrong word for what I meant. What I really mean is closer to event priority, relevance, and actionability — not “this code is severe” or “replace this part.” I agree that a truck can have a lot of trivial or historical communication codes, and if the product starts pushing alerts for every stored or low-value event, people will ignore it very quickly. So the alert logic would need to be filtered. For example, I would not want a random old communication code to generate a push notification by itself. A useful alert would probably need to be based on things like: - new vs historical - active vs stored - repeated vs one-time - duration of the event - whether it happened near the driver-marked symptom - whether it happened together with voltage drop, reset, bus-off, misfire, oil-pressure change, etc. - whether the same pattern repeats under similar conditions So instead of saying “severity,” maybe the product should organize events by affected system and priority. For example: Misfire event: Show misfire counts / roughness first, then fuel trims, RPM/load, DFM/AFM state if available, coolant/oil temp, voltage, and related DTCs. Oil-pressure event: Show oil pressure first, but only in context — RPM, load, oil temperature, coolant temperature, DFM/AFM state if available, voltage, and baseline comparison. Communication event: Show which module/network/message dropped, whether voltage dropped, whether the recorder reset, whether it was active or historical, and whether it repeated. Voltage/reset event: Show battery voltage, crank/wake/sleep state, module reset, communication dropouts, and what came back online first. That also solves the display-order problem you mentioned. The main report should not always show the same fixed list first. It should show the system that appears abnormal first, and then the supporting values for that system. I also agree that the truck already has an oil pressure gauge and MIL. The point would not be to duplicate those. The value would be in showing what else was happening before and after the warning or symptom. For example, if the MIL comes on for a misfire, the truck already told the driver there is a problem. The useful part would be: - which cylinder or bank looked abnormal first - whether it happened after an AFM/DFM transition - whether fuel trims were already moving - whether oil pressure or voltage changed at the same time - whether the same pattern happened previously without a MIL On the OBD port point, I think you may be right for a consumer-facing version. OBD is much easier for the average owner: - easier install - easier removal - inside the cabin - easier phone connection - easier data download - easier to include a pass-through port for another scanner OBD is also the right place for DTCs, freeze frame, VIN, calibration information, Mode 6, and normal scan-tool parameters. The reason I was looking at ECM-side recording is that some events may be gone by the time someone plugs in a scanner, and some powertrain-side network evidence may not be available the same way through the DLC. But I agree that if an OBD-based version can capture enough useful evidence for most owners, that is probably the cleaner consumer product. Maybe the split is: - OBD/DLC version for most consumers - ECM-side version only if it proves it adds evidence that the OBD version cannot get - shop/pro version if deeper powertrain-side event evidence is actually useful So I would not want to force the inline approach if the OBD workflow solves most of the real-world problem. Your last point is probably the key product requirement: the report should be specific to the system showing the abnormality. Not “here are 50 parameters.” More like: “Misfire-related event detected. Here are the misfire/fuel/DFM/context values.” or “Oil-pressure-related event detected. Here is oil pressure compared with RPM/load/temp/baseline.” or “Communication event detected. Here is what dropped, when, and whether voltage/reset happened first.” That is a much better way to think about the report.
