So as the title states. 2014 Sietra 6.2l with flashing CEL and TC light on. 94,000 miles. I had this problem before and it turned out a broken valve spring but I had a ticking noise. I could tell last time sonething happened because the truck skipped in was noticiable something happened. This time didn't notice anything except the lights. At 70 mph everything seemed ok. Pulled over it didn't start right away and had a bad miss. Got it home only a few miles and checked all the wires. Seemed ok. Took my other truck into town and changed all the plugs and wires still acting up. Plugs looked all golden brown and not wet. For the hell of it pulled both valve covers and ran it. Everything seems fine. Checked each rocker nothing loose. Had my friend loan me a cheap code reader. P0300 and I have had the cylinder five P0305 but it doesn't come up constant. Sometimes it does sonetimes it's not there. Had the rough cold idle one too but again it's not constent. I'm leaning towards injector or injectors. It's weird because if I let it sut overnight when I start it, it seems to feel like one cylinder but the longer it runs it gets way worse feeling like multiple cylinders. Also it runs better at higher rpms with a slight miss at times. Any ideas besides injector or injectors?

Also, I swapped cylinder 5 coil pack with a different cylinder and still ended up with a cylinder 5 miss.

Sounds like you did a good basic diagnosis. I'd check compression on that cylinder before throwing an injector at it.

if the compression test dont show anything on #5 then most likely injectors

 

or carbon build up on valves. if not both. 

 

if you chose to take it to dealership they can preform an injector balance test and determine what injector(s) are the cause. 

typically for just a diag fee which is usually 1 hr of shop rate. 

 

if it is injectors its the typical quote is about 5 hrs with the diag + injector(s) + seal kit + high pressure fuel lines ( 2) the run from the high pressure fuel pump under the intake to the fuel rails. typical out of pocket on an injector repair is $1000-$1500 depending on how many injectors. 

 

the 6.2 engines can have 1 of 3 different injectors cant know til they are pulled. the reason being is for engine balance, so they are flow tested and installed at the factory this way. you have to see the part # on the injector.

      Mangoal or FitcamX OEM Dashcam?

      Late reply, but yes—it works on the SLT trim. Compatibility comes down to the plastic shroud shape behind your mirror, not the trim badge itself. On the SLT with auto-dimming, it uses a plug-and-play Y-harness off the mirror/rain sensor power, so no need to run wires down to the OBD port. If anyone's ever unsure about fitment, just drop a photo of your mirror housing and we can double-check it.   Appreciate the detailed feedback on the install! On the windshield glare—we actually took feedback like yours and developed a dedicated CPL (polarizer) filter to cut down dash reflections on sunny days. If you're still running the cam, shoot me a DM. I'd be happy to send a CPL filter over for you to test out—no charge.

      There are no stickers in your glovebox?

      Yes, every time the developer updates his code, you must recompile. I will private message you with the latest because it changes pretty much with every version.

      Transmission Temperature Hitting 220s

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      After I wrote that reply I went for a ride. 85 F out. So trans started at 85 F and it shifted the same as it did an hour latter at 168 F. I've never actually recorded the to cold to shift point but it is under 32 F before they start hanging on to a lower gear or leaving the converter unlocked. Both intended to heat fluid.    Yes, brake or bake. Absolutely.      Your welcome. True research ended decades ago. Field trials are still in play.    There is a thing called oxidation onset temperature. This is the heat related oxidation not the O2 exposure kind. For mineral oil that starts at 140 F. So what happens after 140 F? Each 20 F cuts fluid life in half! Does using a Full Synthetic improve that? Yes! By how much? Depends on the base oil type and a few other factors. But enough to notice. Some esters are even higher. There are even synergies between types the will raise it higher than any one component is alone.    Then there is "Hindered" oils. Antioxidant additives. Hindered Polyol Esters can sit at 500 F for years in a turbine.   When a blender brags his oil will 'take 500 F" in service he doesn't specify for how long. Water will dance on a 500 F hot plate for several seconds. @newdude put up a chart showing the relationship between fluid temperature and it's life in an automatic transmission. Here's a version of that chart for Group III based oils. These temperatures are those in the pan as observed as 'normal'. that is you drive as you do for as long as you do under what load you ask of it and whatever that temperature is this graph applies to. Flash temperatures of a few minutes isn't what his means.    Note that fluids held at a constant 240 F have a service life of only 20K miles. 220 F explains the factory exchange limit, eh? My equipment I keep under 180 F and I'm good if the cooler will hold it as low as 140 F. But that's me.
