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.

      Of course refrain from political debate but I myself have very dismal hope for what is all going on up here every where we turn so I nodded my head when I saw this joke.

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

      By Atlas · Posted

      While waiting for parts I have been working on installing the AC compressor, new accumulator, and orifice tube. Also changed out the high side ball valve (original). The orifice tube that was in there wasn't too bad. Slightly dirty, a little bit of junk, but not blocked. Glad I changed it out.   The accumulator, which should have been a 5 minute job, may have just burned $50. Put some PAG in it, wrote the date and mileage on the side, fresh o-rings and gooey'd up the threads and rings with Nylog. Got everything connected and snugged and was going to vacuum down the system, and....   My manifold gauge won't fit on the port. It's not an R12 service port. It LOOKS like an R134 service port but the diameter is a hair too large. There's a sticker on the accumulator that says it's designed to be used with R12 and R134a systems only. So it's not R1234yf. Even if I reduced the diameter slightly with a file, the shoulder on the port is too large so the quick-connect valve won't lock on. I'm stumped. It's going back, and 50/50 on if they'll give me a refund.   Also, I did a fuel pressure test.... Key on, the gauge spikes to about 60psi and quickly bleeds off, like 2psi per second. The fuel isn't going into the plenum, no smell, starts fine, so I'm guessing there's a bad check valve in the pump and the fuel is just draining back into the tank. oh, hell. But, it shouldn't be a problem, pump primes just fine and the truck starts right up. It just means I can't really ever use fuel pressure to verify a leak at the injector or intake.

      SERCICE ESC message?

      By No F-bdy Bs · Posted

      Got this yesterday out of nowhere. Truck is a 25',6.6 gasser with 8k miles.  Only semi anomaly is that the truck had been sitting, uncranked for 6 days. Elec Stability Control showed immediately upon cranking, not while driving. No drivability issues, just the message. Battery didn't seem to be weak when cranking over.  I drove it, killed it, let it sit a few hrs with no avail.  Truck is 100% stock. No damage.

      This can be done.  It is not cheap and requires an instrument cluster swap with custom programming, new steering wheel with the controls on it, and a special jumper harness.   The cluster upgrade - 12.3” Digital Cluster Upgrade – 2022.5–2026 Silverado / Sierra (T1 Refresh Pickup) - WAMS   The wheel upgrade - Steering Wheel Upgrade Kit – 2022.5–2026 Silverado / Sierra (T1 Refresh Pickup) - WAMS   The column harness upgrade - 2019 - 2026 Silverado / Sierra: Steering Wheel LIN Bus Harness - Harness Dr. - DIY Done Right     The problem with doing all of this?  You pretty much can't have any programming done to your truck that involves the cluster ever again.  The dealer won't be able to program the cluster as GM's system will only pull data for the cluster the truck came with.  So it would be advised also to turn off over the air updates.   TLDR;  Should have bought an LT double cab?  You'd have a power seat, the wheel controls, the cluster, all things that you've been seeking in your various posts so far about your new WT regular cab.
