19 SLT 6.2. 

 

I was was driving down the highway and noticed the engine would surge up and down about 150 rpm. I set the cruise to make sure it wasn’t me and it still did it. Didn’t matter the speed the cc was set at. No cel and everything seems to be operating as normal. Is this a part of DFM?  If so, this will get annoying in a hurry.

There are any number of software updates you probably need ...  visit the dealer, most are undeclared "recalls"

I would think they were all done when I took delivery 25 days ago.

Call service and give your VIN.  Ask them if any updates are noted.

 

they are not traditional recalls the dealer must address before delivery...

Stopped by the dealer today. They said there were no bulletins to address the issue. I might just have to leave it with them a day.

My 2016 did this and was annoying as heck. I was told that everything was operating normal. My 19 does not replicate this and I am grateful. I never figured out why the 16 did that with the cruise being on.

Drive home seemed a little better, rpm fluctuation still happened a dozen times or so, apparently it’ll get better and smoother within the next 100kms.

I was direct messaged if it worked, seems to have corrected the issue.

they also did a throttle body reset and the afm torque management all seem to be a part of it. But yes it did smooth out there are some surges but it’s as cylinders drop and it’s less frequently.

      Remote Start Noise 2024 2500 HD Gas

      By PunchT37 · Posted

      Those are parts changers. It can get expensive though. I was a mechanic for 30 yrs. My truck has made this noise since new. I really don`t know what it is. It really doesn`t bother me. I`m still in warranty but have not brought it to the dealer.   I`m not buying the oil pump prime thing. Screw the TSB. I believe it`s in the trans pump gears. They rattle when that piss poor ULV oil drains off after a while. I believe those sharp tooth gears, with backlash, can rattle when dry. Not a vane style oil pump. Wonder who`s right? Me, or the TSB?🤔   Maybe I`m wrong?

      On the PCM side, blue PCM connector, pin 18, solid gray color (no stripe) wire circuit 435.  That is the EGR low circuit which an issue on that line (be it the wiring, the PCM or the EGR valve or system performance) will trigger P0401 when it tests that code.     There is also a VERY old TSB that states to make sure you clear the DTCs ANY time the PCM is unplugged, reprogrammed, or if the EGR valve is unplugged or replaced as the PCM has an auto zero function in the PCM for the EGR pintle data   61-65-59: SMU - SECTION 6E - ENGINE CONTROLS - CLEAR DTC'S - (Nov 25, 1996)   "CLEAR ANY DTCS FROM THE VCM ANYTIME AFTER DOING VCM REPLACEMENT/ PROGRAMMING, TURNING THE IGNITION ON WHILE THE EGR VALVE IS DISCONNECTED, OR REPLACING THE EGR VALVE."   Some diagnostic aid notes in the GM diag on P0401 for a 1995 S10 Blazer:   Diagnostic Aids Notice: In order to prevent further damage if the EGR valve shows signs of excessive heat, check the exhaust system for blockage (possibly a plugged converter) using the procedure found on the restricted exhaust system check. If the exhaust system is restricted, repair the cause; one of which might be an injector which is open due to one of the following reasons: Stuck Grounded driver circuit Check the oil for possible fuel contamination if a stuck open fuel injector is found. Poor connection or damaged harness - Inspect VCM harness connectors for the following conditions: Backed out terminal BL 18 Improper mating Broken locks Improperly formed or damaged terminal Poor terminal to wire connection Damaged harness Intermittent test - If connections and harness check OK, monitor a digital voltmeter connected between terminal BL 18 and ground while moving related connectors and wiring harness. If the failure is induced, the voltage reading will change.

      HighMileage oils or stay with Dexos 1 ?

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      This biggest difference in a HM oil is in contains some  "Seal Conditioner". DEXOS oils and most shelf oils are "Dry" oils which over time harden seals. "Seal Conditioner" is more times than not, an Ester. Addition will soften the seals over time but will not repair one that leaks or has cracked. Esters also provide some cleaning but these HM oils don't contain enough to solve out hard deposits. Just the soft stuff.  Also a function of an Ester.    Ester's are not 'allowed' as a 'co-base" by license. Weird, right?  A certain amount is allowed as an additive. Bunch of game playing is what it is. It's why HM oils don't have a DEXOS approval.    DEXOS is a license 'with' a specification but is not a specification. Never was, never will be. It's GM's slot machine always paying the house. Use what you like.
