Got everything else I need from Amsoil today to change fluids in both differentials and the transfer case.

Bought this truck this past Thursday in Ohio. 2015 Silverado LTZ with the 6.2L V8. I have many plans for this truck and I absolutely love this thing!

Nice!  How many miles are on it?  Don't forget the transfer case fluid.  Easy to change out and the ATL comes in a squeeze pack which makes it easy to do.

Got the intake tube installed. Sure does make a difference in engine noise, and I love it! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Sure am. I think I may switch to Amsoil motor oil too for this truck.

I got the catch can installed a month or so ago. I don’t exactly like the placement of it, but it’ll work for now. I also ran a can of valve cleaner through the engine and it almost cured my rough idle. I’m going to run another can through it soon.

This is what I caught between emptying the can two times in about 400 miles. I also missed catching some of what drained out both times too.

Got all of the fluids drained and replaced with Amsoil. Also added the GM Accessories skid plate package to the truck.

So it's been a few months but I've still been doing some mods here and there. Added the "Glowtie", new wheels and tires, some LED headlight and fog light bulbs, window tint, Hawk brake pads and rotors, and last weekend I started to clean out the rocker panels and spray them with inner panel rust proofer. I only got the the passanger side done so far, but I'm hoping to get the drivers side done this weekend. Probably over kill since this truck will never see winter weather if I can help it, but better safe than sorry. Wheels are made by ION and the tires are LT275 65 R18.

Haven't done anything to the truck lately, but I did take it to the dealership over two weeks ago now for a hesitation when shifting from Park to Drive. Turns out they have to replace the torque converter and the transmission. Hoping to have it back soon.

Just before winter I noticed that the truck wasn’t running like it should. Looked under the hood and noticed that it looked like the PCV valve was puking oil. My best guess was it was clogged since I had previously run CRC GDI cleaner through it twice to clean out the carbon/oil residue.

 

So I decided to gather up everything I needed to perform a walnut blasting to the intake valves when spring came. Last weekend I was able to get this done. The valves weren’t as bad as I was anticipating, but either way I wanted them to be as clean as possible. The truck now idles almost completely smooth which is the main issue I was having. I also replaced the spark plugs & wires while I was at it since I took the spark plugs out anyway to make it easier to turn the motor over by hand when checking that each valve was closed before I began blasting it. Below are some pictures from before and after.

      The engine was done as part of the 6.2 recall?   You'd have to see if your VIN also has the 6.2 engine special coverage on it.  Coverage number is N252494003.  If you have this, your engine is covered under this and NOT the GM replacement part engine warranty which is 3yr/100k from the date of install.  The 3yr/100k mi warranty is in effect for non warranty purchases.     This is not any different if it was replaced under warranty without a recall or special coverage.  So if you had a 5.3 and it popped at 3 years in at 50,000mi during the 5yr/60k powertrain, the replacement engine would not get the 3yr/100k, and instead gets the remainder of the 5yr/60k as coverage.     So N252494003 gives 10 years or 150,000mi of coverage, which ever comes first, starting at the vehicle in service date.  So if your in service date is 01/01/2022, N252494003 gives you special coverage of the engine until 01/01/2032 or 150,000mi, whichever comes first.  So if your start date was 01/01/2022, you'd have left 5 years and 4 months (lets round to august 1st), or 62,000mi left of coverage.   So you need to know your in service date to know how much coverage is left.

      Injector update

      By CamGTP · Posted

      Okiee dokie there bud, way to take things to the extreme.   I guess you missed the whole point and take things way to serious. I installed different EV6 style injectors that just so happen to be larger in my car running the same LQ4 engine and with a better spray pattern than the stock style injectors and I noticed no difference in the idle quality. Kinda was my round about way of saying that even if you put the same size but better style injectors in your truck, you will likely see the same thing.    I'm sure you're great to have conversations with in person if that's how you act through a keyboard. One little things sets you off and now I guess my dick is all up in your face.

      I can't believe that could possibly be the case. It should be 36mo/100k miles from installation. Then again, it also seems like since a dealership installed it, it'd all be in the system and you wouldn't need to worry about registering, either. Shows you what I know. 😄 Hope this one outlives the warranty!

      I haven't seen inventory recovery from COVID.    In the few random times I 'build my own' truck or SUV, no one has the exact one I want.   GM has been working to lower incentives too for a long time.    A $500 incentive isn't getting me off the couch to go truck shopping.
