To each his own. One could bring up 5.3 piston slap into your argument. :)

 

Lines like "Every time I have driven a 4 cylinder car with a few thousand miles on it.. they rattle and vibrate and sound like heck" are ridiculous.

 

"Nope." ?

 

The ignorance of armchair reviewers never ceases to crack me up.

You can have your 4 cylinders. I dont care how much power it makes... or feels like a V8. The sound of 4 cylinder is is terrible IMO. I hear ecoboost V6 trucks running around with aftermarket exhausts and they even sound out of place. 4 cylinder.... nope. ?? Every time I have driven a 4 cylinder car with a few thousand miles on it.. they rattle and vibrate and sound like heck.

 

Nope. Hahah.

The 4-cylinder in my car sounds amazing.

Nope. I love the sound and so do all my friends who've ridden with me. It's naturally aspirated, though.

You have to love how this thread has digressed into a "I would never have an I4 in a truck" thread.  Almost no one has ACTUALLY answered the OP's question about whether or not anyone else has seen a problem with the I4. 

 

Well, except for the guy with the buyback.  Sorry Dude, Chevy screwed you.  But, they really don't seem to care.

 

Amazing how people have somehow lost the ability to stay on topic and choose once again to express their opinion of what engine "should be in a real truck".

+1 on the being off topic. Unfortunately every thread about it gets dragged down the same hole by ignorance.

 

I will say this about my case - I gave them ample opportunity, I told them I just wanted it fixed right (not to have a 1 month old truck with a hacked up harness), they refused. They ran themselves out of time, I asked for them to replace or buy back the truck and they declined - in spite of the letter of the law being on my side. I sued - and could have forced a buyback, however in MD the manufacturer can keep up to 15% of the MSRP back to cover costs. We went back and forth and I ended up getting enough of a settlement that I can walk away from this truck in December/January when the diesel GC comes out and not lose any money. They screwed me up front, but I feel like I won in the end.

 

Every 2-3 years I buy myself a new GM truck, and in the past 3 years I've bought a Colorado and 2 Cruzes (1 for mom, 1 for us). Because of one smarmy engineer, GM lost quite a bit of revenue from this 1 customer. Granted it is a drop of mist in a bucket but it is something.
 

To the OP's point - if GM will replace it with the later harness (which has an updated part number), I would bet it would solve all of the issues. At the beginning of my saga, the part number was the same - and during this fiasco it changed, but GM wouldn't reverse course and put the proper part in.

This is because they no longer care about their customers.  Though, I am not sure they ever did.

 

All that matters to them is profit.  Nothing else.

Sorry for contributing to the off topic-ness. Can't remember if I said it in this thread or another one but, if I were going to buy a brand new engine like the 2.7T, I'd give them 2 or 3 years to work out all the kinks. I'm looking at a 5.3 with DFM and I'm still waiting until 2020.

I took a risk in doing it. I have zero concerns with the durability of the engine itself, personally. It's about the most overbuilt thing I have seen - it's the stupid accessories/electrical that make me cringe. Well, that and the horrid transmission that I have grown to hate.

Per your earlier comment, looks like they've come up with a redesign for that harness, so others should be able to have confidence they can buy a 2.7T and not encounter that same issue. It's just too bad GM wouldn't fix it right for you. 

 

The other reason I'm (now) waiting for 2020 instead of letting me dealership push me into a late build 2019 is so I can get the 10 speed. Maybe they'll pair that transmission to the 2.7 eventually too.

Ha. Everytime I have driven a 4 cylinder this has been the case. Seems to not be an armchair "review".  So say what you want, doesn't bother me. ?

BUT, since we have off topic replies here ( guilty ) Sorry about the issue you had.... hope that it does not become a large issue and GM gets it fixed. I agree... I would not want my harness lengthened either. Just asking for problem possibilities down the road, 100% possible.

*shrug* Your ignorance is your bliss.

 

You can't compare the NVH, power profile or drivability of a large bore, long stroke 4 cylinder with a 5,600RPM redline to another 4 cylinder of dissimilar specification.

 

Again, what I do know. I only have 2 engineering degrees, a background in automotive engineering, have been a member of the Society of Automotive engineers for 20 years. Oh, and I actually own the engine...

 

Sounds like an armchair review to me.

Editing to blank. Just poking. Not trying to have a pissing contest.

      Travel Trailer 2024 2500 HD 6.6 Gas Engine ?

      By KARNUT · Posted

      Starting at 17 running parts for my father’s construction business to haul our equipment. Eventually doing shows, sales and training after purchase. I drove a minimum of 50K miles a year. Half hauling something. After retiring 30K miles a year to the last 2 years 15K miles a year. 2/3rds highway driving. The major contribution to fatigue for me is from anticipation and awareness. I just don’t relax. Too many idiots on the road. There’s two kinds. The group that never leave the left lane tied together afraid to let anyone in doing 80. They’re mostly on weekends. Then the left lane sleepers usually next to a tractor trailer not advancing. Eventually the tractor trailer will drift over the sleeper will wake up. The train moves and the tailgaters who are usually mad as hell. You definitely don’t want to mix with them. The tail wagging bumper puller’s with under powered trucks are holding the tractor trailer up. That bunch are dangerous. I usually pace ahead all that. Unless there’s a gap when I can chill and let the speeders pass. I tried all different types of driving. I stay to the right except to pass, it’s the law that’s getting in forced more now because of road rage. I was so happy when my wife didn’t want to do the camping life. I had enough of pulling for work. The family has a bus and fifth wheel. I haven’t driven either one since retiring. No thanks.

      Travel Trailer 2024 2500 HD 6.6 Gas Engine ?

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Yesterday a suggested youtube video thumbnail caught my attention so I watched through it and it was a bunch of short clips someone gathered together of people pulling trailers, a lot of them were bumper pull holiday trailers and a pickup or suv pulling it. a few fifth wheels as well, some motorhome crashes also. The tail wagging the dog theme was quite evident in numerous self inflicted accidents that took out vehicles around them sometimes in the process as the unit finally swung around and flipped over in the middle of the highway. Or the other classic which literally could be called "I forgot the trailer was back there" in passing another vehicle on a multi lane one way freeway and then cutting back in line before the back of the rv trailer had passed the front of the passed vehicle and often in front of a tractor trailer and that never ended well. Or the wide kick out swing of the rear of a long travel trailer as they have so much overhang behind the axles and the trailer smashes into the side of vehicles in the next lane over ( typically sharp turns in city driving ). It makes one leery for good reason to be near an RV trailer after watching a video like that and be it on the highway, in town, or at a gas station where that rear end comes swinging around due to the fuel station being so cramped and not intended for larger trailers. I wonder how many officers have heard those words though "I forgot it was back there" as they investigate the accident LOL.

      Just because a person can buy a travel trailer or a motorhome doesn't mean they can drive it properly. My observation during my RVing years.
