So in February I bought a clean 2016 Double Cab 1500 Z71 Silverado with 33k Miles on it. The odometer is at 36500-ish miles, and yesterday morning it was shifting hard, not as much power and the check engine light came on.

 

I went to Auto Zone and pulled the code P219B which is a bank 2 air/fuel in balance. I took it to the dealer and made a appointment for it to be worked on.

 

I purchased the Platinum protection package and the power train warranty is still in coverage, but if it's a bad O2 sensor or fuel injector I'm not sure if I will have to pay out of pocket, which is frustrating considering the truck JUST went out of bumper to bumper warranty and I just bought the truck a few months back so needless to say I'll be pissed if they make me pay out of pocket for a repair....

 

Today however, the CEL is still on but driving the truck to work was driving as normal again and I was getting 17.7 MPG in the city, which yesterday it was getting between 12-14 mpg.

 

I'm hoping that maybe it was just bad gas, but this is really irritating to say the least.

Try something simple first. Spray some Seafoam or CRC into the intake. Follow the instructions on the can (spray it downstream of the MAF) and hold about 2000 RPM while spraying.

Probably just a little carbon built up.

I am getting a P219B. I just finished with the CRC and still no good. Under the hood it sounds like a air leak. No other codes but idle is rough. I did see a good amount of smoke after the 30 minute wait period so I know I didnt waste 30 bucks on nothing. I guess its off to the mechanic cause it seems to be getting louder.

      Tire psi

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      I will admit I haven't experimented much with pressure drops beyond the numbers I put in and part of that is that the numbers I used are fairly low and then found out it would trigger regardless at that 35 psi. Having said that I had tried before had changed the placard pressures and being that I have a 1 ton set to 80 on the placard for the rear I believe it triggered close to 60, the front I don't recall now for sure but thought maybe it could get close to 45 from that factory 60 placard pressure. So I never did figure out if it was a number of psi from placard pressure to the alarm or a percentage of the total placard number as some figured it was like a 25% drop from placard pressure would trigger it. So as to try and answer your question, I believe I set the placard pressure on the front to 47 or so and while I run the front tires at 40, they have dipped below that some if its colder and I haven't put "winter air" in yet and never once have had the front alarm go off. I would say that the answer your looking for is no, that if you set your placard pressure to 45, you have a certain amount of room to drop below that pressure before the alarm will go off.    The pressures you decide to run in your truck, that ends up being what makes sense to you based on what your carrying in your truck or if towing, then have to bump them back up to something that will carry the load in the rear and the fronts typically left at the same pressure. It all comes down to that chart I put the link to and using an accurate roadside scale to be your guide, both unloaded and then loaded to know your minimum safe pressures.    I just wish GM would allow a person to change the readings for the tire pressures to the English system of pounds as I have to look at that goofy metric reading that will never ever jive in my head and will go over and change it just to figure out what they are if need be and then change it back.

      No Software Updates - Old Build

      By TrueBlue · Posted

      That part I understand, that the dealer can do it. But I'm not understanding why updates that were available to the truck since it left the factory, or the dealership originally, would not still be available to it without dealer intervention.   I'm thinking along the lines of recalls. They stay available until they are completed. Why not updates as well, especially since some of those can be safety related also?

      Tire psi

      That's good to know, but I don't think I'll even be running them under 45 in the rear  unless it's on the sand or something but will only be for a short distance anyways!    I didn't read all the instructions in the booklet yet, but do you know let's say I set the rear psi on the placard to 45, will the warning light come on soon as it drops under 45 or is there a percentage it has to drop from the set value before the warning light is triggered?

      Would this CV Shaft be bad?

      By newdude · Posted

      That's bad.  Like, its probably destroying the stub axle the CV slides into.   Do you have a proper lift installed with differential lowering brackets?  Did you install AT4/Trail Boss factory CV axles?

      Hot? New Jersey? Today? I was working on my old 2000 Silverado 1500 today. Believe me, it was boiling hot today. As it has been.
