Mini heart attack this morning. I remote started it from my kitchen. And watched it shut off after about 30 seconds. Hopped in and started it up. CEL again. 
 

Got my scanner and read the code. P0496 - EVAP purge system code. Hmm….
 

So I popped the hood and poked around. The EVAP purge solenoid wasn’t seated all the way in my intake (I have a Cold Air Inductions intake). I think I popped it loose when I was working on the cat replacement. So the intake was sucking unmetered air...no bueno. Good thing I only drove it a few miles before I figured it out.
 

So I decided to take it off and put the factory intake back on. Cleaned the MAF, MAP, and EVAP Purge sensors while I was at it. 
 

Cleared the code cranked her up. Purring like a kitten.

Here is the Catalytic converter replacement procedure video, as promised. Hopefully this helps someone in the same situation.

Your video isn’t sad it’s great.  It’s sad this thing was using so much oil on regular synthetic oils and they killed it. I honestly think mine burning E15 and running top flight synthetics or no phos or zinc group II made a difference.

Thanks a lot. The RLI oil seems to have cut down on consumption. Currently at ~3000 miles on the oil change and the level is still midway to 3/4 up the stick (top at fresh oil change). I haven't added any oil on this interval either.

 

I try to run 89 E15 or Ethanol free gas at ever all possible. Not sure if that makes any difference.

E15 leaves less deposits. 
RLI is low cost and effective. If it gets to exhaust system it burns clean!

PS it’s cheaper than every other synthetic out there! Until the overstock is gone.

Well I no longer have the 2022 Silverado LTD 2.7L. My company needed a new work truck, so we shuffled the fleet a bit. We have a guy who was driving a 2015 with 275k on it, kept having repairs and issues with it. So we found a low mileage 2024 Silverado 2500HD Duramax to replace that with. Having seniority, I gladly gave up my 2022 to go to the other guy driving the 2015. And I graciously took over the "new" 2024 Duramax. Thing is beast. I've put about 1000 miles on it since picking it up. It has just over 28,000 miles on it. Mileage is great, unloaded I am seeing 20-21 mpg on the highway. It's an LT trim, so not quite bare bones, but not quite tip top fancy. Good enough for a work truck for sure.

 

I will miss the 2.7L. It was a good little motor. And my coworker promised he will take care of it. But now I got this Duramax to mess with. Giddy up.

 

Here's a pic of the HD the night I drove it home.

I've had my 2024 silverado LT for about 7 months now and am super happy with it. Coming from 10 years 2 other trucks with the 5.3 as much as I hate to say it i think I actually like this 2.7 better. Definitely seems like I don't have to press the gas pedal nearly as much to go up the same hills as my I did on my 5.3. Definitely alot more responsive.  I would definitely recommend it to any on the fence about it.

      Of course refrain from political debate but I myself have very dismal hope for what is all going on up here every where we turn so I nodded my head when I saw this joke.

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

      By Atlas · Posted

      While waiting for parts I have been working on installing the AC compressor, new accumulator, and orifice tube. Also changed out the high side ball valve (original). The orifice tube that was in there wasn't too bad. Slightly dirty, a little bit of junk, but not blocked. Glad I changed it out.   The accumulator, which should have been a 5 minute job, may have just burned $50. Put some PAG in it, wrote the date and mileage on the side, fresh o-rings and gooey'd up the threads and rings with Nylog. Got everything connected and snugged and was going to vacuum down the system, and....   My manifold gauge won't fit on the port. It's not an R12 service port. It LOOKS like an R134 service port but the diameter is a hair too large. There's a sticker on the accumulator that says it's designed to be used with R12 and R134a systems only. So it's not R1234yf. Even if I reduced the diameter slightly with a file, the shoulder on the port is too large so the quick-connect valve won't lock on. I'm stumped. It's going back, and 50/50 on if they'll give me a refund.   Also, I did a fuel pressure test.... Key on, the gauge spikes to about 60psi and quickly bleeds off, like 2psi per second. The fuel isn't going into the plenum, no smell, starts fine, so I'm guessing there's a bad check valve in the pump and the fuel is just draining back into the tank. oh, hell. But, it shouldn't be a problem, pump primes just fine and the truck starts right up. It just means I can't really ever use fuel pressure to verify a leak at the injector or intake.
