Bought a 2016 GMC Yukon XL with 52k on it last November, this spring it started throwing this code, we would put in Lucas and it would go away after a day and stay off for weeks to a month. In August it became an every other week deal, 3 weeks ago it also had a Cylinder 6 misfire where we changed all the spark plugs, it does run better overall since changing but has since came up with the same code once again and isn’t going away this time...husband and his uncle who is a mechanic are stumped, we are supposed to drive to Florida in 3 weeks for a family wedding so we’d really like to get this figured out, it’s not in warranty anymore with 75K on it now...anyone have any similar issues and resolutions!! So frustrating to have such a new vehicle with these big problems as we had to replace the condenser in it also this summer!

Had something similar but on a Chevy.  Pull the number 6 fuel injection wire and check the condition.  If good, pull the injector and clean or replace and see if the idle levels and code disappears.  If you replace, you could probably do it for about 60 bucks, cheaper than renting a vehicle to catch the wedding.  If this works, drop some STP concentrated fuel injection cleaner in the tank for a little insurance.

Special policy for injectors depending what state you are in. Most likely injector failure.

 

Some 2016 and 2017 model year Cadillac Escalade, Cadillac Escalade ESV, Chevrolet Silverado, Chevrolet Suburban, Chevrolet Tahoe, GMC Sierra, GMC Yukon, and GMC Yukon XL vehicles, equipped with a 5.3L or 6.2L engine, may have a condition which affects fuel injector function. Under certain circumstances one or more of the vehicle’s fuel injectors may deliver an improper amount of fuel to the engine. If this occurs, the Malfunction Indicator Lamp (Check Engine Light) will illuminate, the engine may idle or run rough, and the vehicle may stall. A diagnostic trouble code related to the fuel injector may be set. This special coverage only applies to vehicles in these states: California, Connecticut, Delaware, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Jersey, New York, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Vermont, and Washington.

Just in case anyone starts having this issue...

There's your golden ticket. Just had mine done last week. I was sure it was an AFM lifter failure, turns out it was #3 and #5 injectors gone bad. Keeping the notice for when the others go out...

Does anyone know why Texas is not a state listed?  I have this problem but they are telling me that the notice doesn’t apply to my vehicle because I live in Texas.

Because those states have adopted California or CARB emissions.  Only 13 of the 50 states.

      Transmission Temperature Hitting 220s

      By TrueBlue · Posted

      Thanks, so being a different beast altogether, anyone know what the "optimal" temp is for the 10L80/90 for proper shifting?

      Some Assembly is Required

      How many years have I pointed out every point in that link to the folks here and been avalanched with criticisms and outright hostilities at times? I ran counter to even the great CUSTOMBOSS and Lake Speed Jr and the half dozen experts on YouTube and in the final.....GM, Physics (Stribeck) backs that Grumpy old Bear.    Honestly, I never said a thing engineering hadn't studied silly and laid in concrete during WWII. But I'm old, the information is old and yet, the Laws of Physics are eternal.    Okay there is one exception. I vehemently disagree with their use of the word 'tolerances' when what it meant is "clearance".   The clearance is the distance between two objects. The tolerance is the degree of acceptable variation permitted in that clearance. I.E., piston to bore clearance is 0.004" with a tolerance of +/- .0002" so the clearance is in specification if it lies between 0.0038" and 0.0042". Cutting that 'tolerance in half has ZERO impact on lubrication requirements. Makes for more difficulty in manufacturing.  But a tighter clearance 'MAY'. Depends on finish. Anyway....   It's one of those statements made by people to make themselves look smarter than they are to convince people who are as un-enlighten as they seem to manipulate their behaviors. But hey, the blind leading the blind puts them both in the pit.

      Gas Prices

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Out and about yesterday on a long Saturday drive I passed a lot of Shell stations. My preferred, so I pay attention. Lot's of small town Illinois so not six stations in three blocks like the city.    Everyone of them over a radius of say 100 miles had regular at $4.19 but one which was the one closest to home at $4.15. However Premium pricing varied greatly between 85 cents over regular to $1.50 over. I'm not counting the price of the station with the lowest regular so the reference is the same for the remainder and all within the same brand. However the spread discrepancy holds across all brands.     @txab, any thoughts on that?

      Future GMC Jimmy

      What are your thoughts? The Chevy Blazer relaunch was an epic case of 'lunchbag letdown'. Jeep Wranglers and Ford Broncos stick out like a sore thumb.    The AI photos do not look like a 'retro version', but shrunken Tahoes. Get away from the 'futuristic look'. I've seen two concepts. One had rectangular headlight like a Rivian and the other way to big should include dual round headlights like the early version.   If not this would look OK   At least it has GM styling (albeit the K2XX) A lot of the images floating around look like Bronco IIs or the current Bronco. Looking at the Broncos in my area (central Ontario, it seems to be a mix of 2 doors and 4 doors, 'mall rated' to ones that could go offroad.    I'm sure a AT4 and AT4X RPOs could be outfitted similar to a Rubicon if the braintrust understood the whole offroad scene. Crosing my fingers that if it does see the light that the front air dam/bumper doesn't extend below the center line of the tire...

      Silverado 4500-5500-6500 are they still being produced? Would have sold better as GMCs as well
