Have a new issue, just started happening. Seems to happen at higher rpms. Truck will lose all electrical power, but not completely, dash, stereo, flashes on and off, check stabilitrack and steering warnings come on. engine kinda stutters but not much, i was passing someone when it happened the first time and it downshifted going down a grade and it happened again. Any ideas?

You talking about the nnbs recall back in like 08? Went out this morn and clock had reset and i had to roll down and up my window? Kinda weird. Ive read some stuff about bad grounds so ill probably start there

New truck read the battery draw and shut down things to save battery cool idea but mean your battery needs to be 100%.

My 2 guesses are already said. The battery cable going down to the starter. Or the most common with them, and mine, was the ground cable right at the a pillar behind the tweeter. Its not maki g a good connection because some insulation is under it. Remove the cable, cut the insulation, reinstall cable. Problem gone. The clue is the stabilitrac issue. None with the battery cable problems had stablitrac issues.

Thanks everyone, i have noticed it only has been acting up under load, like when passing. And usually when it happens and i shut it off, it loses memory power to the radio and one time no power at all, nothing, wouldnt crank. But then i messed around and all of a sudden started up fine. Nothing obvious. I took the das panel off and the matting didnt look pinched, i cleaned up the frame ground as well. Havent had an issue yet.

This should be a sticky at the top of the forum.

I agree!  I got that PIT from somebody else on this forum a while ago so there may be a newer version.  It solved my electrical issues! Maybe somebody could find the latest one and attach it then create a sticky thread.

I did the same.  When I opened the dash I didn't see the insulation trapped under the ground nut but I removed the nut and cable, cleaned/scraped around the stud, and reinstalled the nut as tightly as I could.  While I had the dash open I did the one on the passenger side too.  I have not had any issues since.

      Oil Consumption

      By KARNUT · Posted

      No I didn’t watch a video of a person who analyzes oil for a living explain general oil usage. For clarity I did ask my brothers one who runs our equipment business. The other who runs our old ROW business about oil usage. Nothing has changed since I retired. Their personal vehicles or work vehicles use no oil. Not enough to see on the oil checking device. Then I pondered. I like to ponder. In this extended oil changing world with oil change countdowns or lights. If engines used say a qt every 2500 miles or up to even 4000 miles. With oil changes reaching as high as 15000 miles. Normal for most people is eight to ten. Vehicles should potentially be seizing up all over the place. Especially in hilly terrain. Just how many people actually check their oil? Maybe 10 percent. Those are the people that probably change their oil early. I like to research used car listings. I have five favorite dealers I check. They all list carfax with their listing. It’s rare to see vehicles with anything but extended oil changes. Transmission service, forget about it. I’ve seen Honda and Toyota certified vehicles up to 100K miles and ten years old. With nothing but normal maintenance. Isn’t nice we all have different experiences and believe our way is the best. You certainly get backup for whatever you believe. Life would be boring otherwise.

      RUMOR / INSIDER: 2027 Silverado Dealer Reveal NEXT WEEK

      By RobbertClaus · Posted

      Interesting rumor. Dealers near me have been tight-lipped so far, but if this reveal actually happens next week, I'm really hoping they finally give the HD a proper interior overhaul. The competition has been eating their lunch in the cabin department for a while now.

      Oil Consumption

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      There are a few good takeaways in that video that pertain to this thread, certainly the possibility of the oil control rings having buildup, the fuel injectors and how clean or not that they are ending up affecting the pistons rings carbon buildup, and the fact that its normal up to a point for a given engine to use some oil, and that the oil quality that is being utilized is part of that ring clogging up issue as well.   I was talking with a neighbor yesterday who has a baby LZ0 duramax and he had bought it slightly used but it does consume some oil and he has switched over to 5W-30 Euro spec oil and in this case that never made a difference in consumption over the factory 0W-20 recommendation. He finds it uses a quart in about 3500 miles and as he goes a ways over that distance he adds oil to full and goes another 1000 miles or so and then changes oil and is typically at 40% or so left on the oil monitor at that point with his use case of quite a lot of highway miles and more limited in short run use. I don't know what other LZ0 engines are doing for oil consumption but that is what his is doing.

      Ok well I guess Lake disagrees with me on a few points. I call oil consumption pretty basic. Rudimentary. He calls it "really complicated." I think 1qt consumed in 3k miles is a lot. He says that's normal. In 22 minutes, he'll use his natural talent to explain oil consumption to anyone watching this video. He covers everything from obvious engine damage to how normally functioning healthy engines consume oil by design. Lake explicitly states how you drive will impact oil consumption.   Shut up and watch:
