OK so how does that change PCV system on every GM gasoline engine since 1967? 

 

I think where we disagree ( best I can tell from your commentary)  is that the venting you describe is still not raw air from atmosphere and when you fire the engine the air coming into the combustion chamber will be super dried from that combustion event.  If it has some form of cyclonic separation or directional turn or vent deflector no GM engineer will keep his job sucking untreated air into system, from any of the vents you mention.  

 

I have no idea what your talking about. You obviously know what your talking about but I don't think you've actually visually looked at what GM has done here. On paper, or hands on it doesn't matter. Once you see how simple it is, it will make sense.

Absolutely!   What people are thinking is oil condensate is fuels dilution. Use a better oil, tune your engine up.  Generally only  need for blow-by capture or catch cans are racing entities who have

No Sir, I am here to learn because I AM NOT A GM EXPERT.  Get past your panties being wadded up and inform us. Man up, woman up, cisgender up? 

 

I don't know what to say, defend your position if its correct. I want to know FACTS not your opinion.  I like to act on facts for my cars.

Show us the diagrams that show unfiltered, un-conditioned ambient air entering the engine anywhere by design. 

 

The exhaust system holds condensate air thats unfiltered and on start you see that but its not the same as your claim that our crankcase systems on modern GM spark gasoline engines are not Positive crankcase vented.  

 

I'm not from Missouri but show me.  Seriously.

This isn't stuff I just have saved on my computer. 

 

Do the leg work. I did my own research on the subject. There's plenty of articles out there where gm talked about engine functionality, to tsbs, to cutaway engine models etc. 

 

I'm sorry to say, but this is old news. In no shape or form is this knowledge a secret that I've just released on the world. Lol

Here's the problem; you are making claims that are unsubstantiated, great for someone selling aftermarket things that may or may not help.   

 

But for the benefit of a reader here blasting through who wants to believe you, might wrongly  agree with.

 

Sadly you are wrong and as I can I will pull up the intake and emissions vent systems you wrote about and post them here as I can.  Specifically for a 2017 6.2L. 

 

Not because I want to win or I am insecure  but because having done automotive science for 42 years professionally I am tired of regular consumers being lied to and smoke being blown up their "tail pipes".  

 

You are a weak defender of "your truth"  my friend.   Selfish too when it comes to being open and honest about something that could help other readers here.  

 

You are smart enough to do better than that. I am beginning to see why old farts here blow gaskets with folks who spout but cannot assure with facts.

Here is the pcv hose running from the valve cover to the intake tract.  I believe Mickey is saying that because there is no valve within the hose, or on either end of the hose, that there is a direct avenue for ambient air to progress from the pre-manifold intake tract, to the crank case.

Wow... Yes I am wrong. You can die happy now knowing you're a champion. 

 

You say this is about information. But your post and their context point hostility directly towards me. You need to your facts straight before sharing what you think is fact.

Exactly. But it doesn't matter what I say. He's made this personal...

Not unfiltered to environment.

@customboss really said there is EGR on these trucks and then expects us to believe him lolololololol

EGR is accomplished by valve-train, VVT, cam phasing etc. Solenoid  controlled.  You can't meet emissions with no EGR system.

Sure, you can absolute reduce emissions through tuning. But there is no egr system. It's not a diesel it has cats.

      Where is the Ambient Air Temperature Sensor on a 2021 Chevy Suburban?

      By newdude · Posted

      Yea that's pretty normal to be off a few degrees.  Usually 2-4 degrees from say a weather app or thermometer.

      Where is the Ambient Air Temperature Sensor on a 2021 Chevy Suburban?

      By studly · Posted

      I just replaced the ambient air temperature sensor.  Easy as pie. I simply had to remove about 10-12 clips on the plastic cover over the radiator and remove two T-10 torx screws on the hood release lever to liberate the cover (Amazingly, none of the clips broke.  All came out and went back in with zero problems). Once the cover was removed, the temp sensor is easily accessible. The sensor cable snakes through a few guides and can be pulled out for even easier access to the sensor. I was able to work the sensor out of the mounting hole.  There is a red sliding catch on the plug that must be pulled back to disconnect the cable.  The plug was quite tight.  I had to use a screwdriver to pry it out. I plugged in the new sensor ($6.45 from RockAuto), snapped it into the mounting hole and re-snaked the cable. I put the radiator cover back on and reattached the lever arm to the hood release.  All done!     I started up my Suburban.  The temperature read 82 °F. Other thermometers at my house read 80 °F.  Close enough.  It might be reading high as my vehicle was sitting in the sun.

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

      By Atlas · Posted

      That one looks decent for the price   BUT..I want something that also supports OBDI/1.5. A lot of the prosumer-grade scanners don't have legacy support in order to keep costs low. I believe the Autel does if you go higher end with them.   For fun, I reached out to a local Snap-On rep because I was interested in the 2600. $1895 MSRP, says he can do $1595. That's still a lot, but then again, that's not a horrible discount for just asking out of the blue. Could probably do better if I was a regular buying off his truck, but I'm not.   Not sure if I mentioned but I didn't realize with USED scanners from Snap On that you need to make sure a) the serial number isn't flagged as stolen. On the newer ones, SnapOn can remotely disable the device if it's flagged in their system. And, customer service can tell you if it is, if you're thinking about buying used. B) Make sure it's paid off. If the seller still owes money to the truck or if they financed through Snap On, the device can be remotely disabled until the balance is paid. It's less clear if SnapOn will tell you if a balance is still owed; I didn't make it that far with the used model I was considering. I did read that SnapOn has no way of tracking any "truck financing" deals between the SnapOn rep and buyer, only if they financed through corporate. So there's that extra caution needed.   Still waffling on whether I go with a ~$500ish Autel/TopDon or spend bigger money. The value seems to be in the prosumer brands. I'm not giving them enough credit TBH, actual production repair shops use them daily BUT I'm still allergic to certain kinds of underdog products trying to unseat American companies with solid reputations. SnapOn's scanner isn't wholly made in the US, but it is assembled here and they have US support and probably the most proven/ robust legacy support.   Something to think about. Value, or principles? There's a $1k difference.

      Winter Returned

      By Atlas · Posted

      I'm thankful to live where we don't have extreme weather. We might all be blown to smithereens when Mt. Rainier goes, but 80 is warm enough in the summer and I can generally count the number of hard freezes in the winter on one hand. The cars here don't rust and they don't get sun-baked, either.   We have finished off many of our average 52 days of "clear/sunny" weather, though. Sunsets are coming earlier, the nights are a little cooler. It's right around the first week of September when we get our first warning that summer is coming to a close with overcast skies and the start of "hoodie weather" temperatures during the cooler parts of the day. By October, it's usually time to ditch the shorts. By November, it's mostly raining.
