Any more issues since the floor mat correction? 

Ever since I noticed that, have had ZERO no-start issues

I have the same issue, started yesterday on my 2020 Denali 1500 with the 6.2. I purchased the truck new the end of April and it currently has 4900 miles on it. Crank and crank with no start. I did eve

A video of it not starting is of no use to the dealer or GM. It's not that they don't believe you but they cannot duplicate the concern. Watching it not start isn't any help diagnosing the issue.

True, but if you have a video with indisputable proof that the error is occurring, it will at least leverage them to take you more seriously and give more time to do tests needed to try and replicate

I’ve had my 2021 Sierra Denali for 3 weeks and have 900 miles so far. The non start issue has now happened to me twice so far. Have an appointment Wednesday at the dealer. Hoping it’s as easy as flashing the ecm. 
 

reading the other thread of the camshaft position sensor exciter wheel doesn’t sound like a fun fix having the truck taken apart.

My 2021 Silverado is having the same issue. This is the third spell. It will turn over and keep turning over. Won’t fire up. When parked for 20 mins or so it usually restarts fine. I have paid a ton of money for this truck and I expect it to start on time, every time. Can someone please post the solution so I can relay that information to my dealership, since they can’t seem to figure it out. Please and thanks.

If you read this thread you’ll see that No one can post the solution because it isn’t clear. Plenty of speculation and potential causes but no smoking gun at this time.

Silverado’s for the last few years have left the factory with packing grease on the motor instead of shipping with oil due to epa regulations, the dealer is responsible for stripping excess grease upon receiving it at the lot. Sometimes the mechanics tasked with getting this grease off the motor are less than thorough. While the engine runs and heats up it makes the grease thin and runny causing it to basically get blown all over the place by the fans and belts and can get on electrical connections causing power to not get to where it needs to go, ie vehicle turning over but not starting right away. Sometimes the engine light will come on temporarily because the vehicle computer knows something wasn’t quite right but won’t give a code because it doesn’t know what’s going on and eventually goes back off after starting it up successfully a few times

This is just stupid.  Nobody packs grease on either the inside or the outside of the motor for shipping.

What info made you believe this is true? 

Unbelievable.

The problem IMO.

How on earth would they be loaded onto and off of shipping trucks, boats or trains?

This happened on my 2021 Silverado 3500 gas. It did it the first time at about 1500 miles and I torqued the fuse box pins at that time and thought it was fixed. Happened again a couple of weeks ago at 6500 miles. First time hot sunny day running errands around town. Second time towing a 10,000# trailer in the rain for 200 miles and stopped for fuel. Both times restarted after 15 or 20 minutes. The second time I kept cycling the retained power by opening and closing the door and then locking it. After the 4th or 5th attempt it started like normal with no codes. Took to the dealer today for a scan and found no codes. They installed the ECM software update in the previously listed service bulletin, and also a recall on the infotainment system. Hope this is the fix. I have looked at the gas pedal thing and that is not the issue here as I have the  Z71 mats that are installed correctly and always use my right foot on the brake pedal as everything I own has that requirement. I have had a couple of times when the dash indicated the remote was not found but it started anyways so that may be a sign of where the issue starts?

Anyone experience a permanent fix with this issue? My truck has the 3.0 duramax and I’m wondering if it’s potentially a different issue. Almost seems like the truck isn’t getting fuel while attempting to start. Always stars on the second attempt and never throws a code (which makes it real fun when dealing with technicians). 

I have the 3.0.  It has happened to me 7 times within the first 5k miles.  Been to the dealer 3x.  Last time they claimed to have re-torqued the fuse box bolts.  Other than that they say they can't replicate and usually mention that they "checked all the software".  First new truck i've bought in a long time so its very disappointing performance from a $60k truck.

To recap what my truck is doing
First two times, i was using key fob, and the start would spin but not fire.
3rd time - starter spun but would not fire, then it would not crank after at all for multiple attempts.  I had it towed to dealer but it actually did crank as he was putting it on the tow truck.
Times 4 - 7, push the crank button on dash, starter runs for ~10 seconds but no fire, and I can't get it to stop.  Then it has crunk on 2nd attempt every time.

This is being discussed in detail in the 2020 HD forum on this site. There is currently no fix for this problem, even after having the entire truck torn apart for the camshaft bulletin.

      2015 Sierra Denali L86 cyl 5 misfire at idle

      By Gkistler · Posted

      Hi friends - first time poster. I have a 2015 sierra Denali with 150k miles, I’m the second owner and she’s given me 75k of great service. I run a pulse AFM disable device. Starting Thursday when I exited the freeway after a short local ride it started idling rough, with an obvious misfire shake and was down on low end power.  I got it home and hooked it up to my scannner and found no codes but in live data a pretty bad misfire on cylinder 5. I replaced the coil, plug and wire with all new OE replacements (Delphi gn10165 coil, acdelco wire and 41-168 plug). It’s still behaving the same way after firing the parts cannon at it.   I know cyl 5 is a non AFM cylinder so I am not thinking this is AFM related but I’m kinda at a loss. injector? Bent pushrod? It’s running too well over 1k rpm to suggest those IMO. Has anyone chase this issue before and what was it? Any suggestions?

      Pulsating Noise 4Cyl Mode

      By zibzer2 · Posted

      2017 Silverado L83 5.3l 6speed transmission Hello, not a new member but havent posted in a while and my old signup info isnt working so had to create a new account. anyways, I have an issue with my truck and hope someone can spread some light on whats happening: -when it goes to 4cyl mode it makes a clunk sound (but not when coasting or going downhill) -when in 4 cyl mode and under load it makes a load pulsating sound (not a tick). -goes away completely when in M5 gear or when plugging in an AFM delete. Im guessing it is one of 2 things but im not convinced of either to be honest. 1. lifter stuck in v8 mode 2. torque converter shudder realistically it doesn't seem like the TC as there is no physical vibration , and it never happens in v8 mode. but maybe? and wouldnt a lifter make a sound whether with load or not? any ideas let me know please. thank you!

      Some Assembly is Required

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Which has made me wonder with the various engine failures of a few brands in the last few years, is it sub par materials such as lifters etc causing failures, or bearing clearances on the crank etc or perhaps bad designing of an engine physically or causing too much load on the components due to the hp/torque they can push out of them. Or is the oil viscosity and additive package of current oils or a lack of oil flow by an oil pump not able to supply sufficient oil at idle or under high load at low rpm. Or is it every item I listed that combined together has pushed the limits so far to the left that there is hardly a margin of safety left and add in some fuel dilution and too long of an OCI and premature engine failure is the result ?.

      Some Assembly is Required

      He is not saying that an SAE *W20 will have more viscosity than a *W40 due to MORE VII polymers. He is saying that although multiple *W40 may post in the PDS the same or similar 100 C and 150 C viscosities that the blenders choice of modifier TYPE and AMOUNT to get his chosen base to grade will not give identical real world viscosities in shear and at temperature. All will pass the SII test but not all will pass the 100 C HTHS (unpublished value) testing the blender does and relies on to get the required by law "percentage improvement' referenced to his last great work.    Tis the problem with the lie. Once told others are required to support it.

      Parking Brake - Automatic Engagement Questions

      By PunchT37 · Posted

      I have a `25, 1500 that auto sets on incline. Never knew that at first. I have the electronic shifter. Just think if it didn`t do that? Unlike a mechanical shift that you can muscle out of park, how would you get this thing out? That would be a problem.   What I found out later is, I don`t have to push the button to release. Just put it in gear.   Setting parameters? Don`t know if it`s possible.
