Hey Guys

I've had mine 2020 AT4 HD in the shop twice now for engine light coming on.  Code is P20EE which has to do with to much NOX in exhaust, or bad DEF mix or something along those lines... When I took it in Monday because light came on again and I wanted to see if it was same code, which it was, service writer said a recall had just been issued that had to do with incorrect information being displayed on DEF fluid.  Not sure what all that means.  But they did it, took maybe 15min and light has not come back on since.  Curious if anyone else has seen a similar issue or know what the recall details was?

I know there has been numerous people posting about the codes, and generally speaking the dealers would simply clear codes and send them on their way.  Thus they are aware of the issues and are working towards a resolution.  Wonder if this is part of the resolution.

I had this same problem with my truck. I took it to the dealership and informed them that there was a known problem and a software fix for the P20EE cel code. Sure enough they checked and they were able to reset the cel and flash the ecm with the new program. It’s been almost a week and everything seems okay. 
I am getting nervous though, because I have over 1300 miles on my truck and as far as I can tell, it hasn’t done a regen on the dpf yet. This is my first diesel and I’m not sure how often it will do a regen. The first 1,000 miles were mostly highway or open backroads with little stopping. The last 300 or so have been shorter trips to work and back (11 mi each way). Any input would be greatly appreciated.

I don't think you will be able to tell when it is in regen.  On my 2014, I would notice the higher idle.  My 2020 has over 2K miles and I have yet to notice any sign of regen, which is how the manufacturers want it, so I wouldn't worry about it.

I have a Banks Idash, so i monitor regens.

2020 behaves much differently than my '18 did.

Regens have occurred between 700-800 miles, short trips don't seem to promote short regens as the '18 did.

I had the software update installed 2 weeks ago, 2 long trips and no SES light, seemed to work.

Thanks everyone for your input. I’m definitely feeling better about this issue. This is my first diesel and I don’t want to miss something and destroy a $10,000 engine.

      J&L OIL SEPARATOR CO

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Just did an injector/HPFP replacement on Pepper at 192,400 miles; close enough to 200K, RIGHT? (If 200K is considered life end and to me it isn't). But hey, to each his own.    Have never run a catch can on this vehicle. Back side of every valve looked like a new valve spray painted semigloss black. Port walls looked 'neat' (all a normal result of passive EGR via VVT) Zero build up even in AFM cylinders. Just color. It uses no measurable oil and never has.    At 155,000 I put her on E-85 and a borescope of the cylinders at plug change showed very clean pistons and valve faces. The replaced injector tips looked new. (It was the pump piston seal that was leaking). Oh well, have six good backups.    Still gets 28 mpg on gas (highway average) and over 20 (highway) on alky. UOA's look good and runs as good now as it did when I bought it. Better in fact.    What improvement would a Catch Can provide this motor?     And given all this I expect that IF I installed one I'd see some water/gas/oil vapor accumulation. Byproducts of normal combustion.   Having said that, IF my motor used an appreciable amount of oil I'd consider it a useful 'crutch' until I had the situation corrected OR if bore polished, until I junked it or rebuilt it to stave off repeated plug fouling.    I'm not telling you what I THINK. But what its DONE.

      Starting a new thread regarding mounting my 2014 OEM wheels to my 2026

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Love the look. I'm a SCSB lover myself.    Two items. 1.) A spacer changes scrub radius but this also changes when we use wheels of different offsets. A little isn't a big deal. 2.) Steel wheels, alloy wheels all have different thickness. Same effect on the stud and lug nut as a spacer. When hub centric the wheel isn't supported by the stud. It's supported by the hub. The stud just keeps it all together.

      2016 Sierra 5.3L L83 new injectors now runs rich.

      By JAI3 · Posted

      I had a evap sol go bad a couple weeks ago. . I replaced it.  While watching live data at the time I saw I had some cylinder 1 misfires. No MIL but on live data I could see ~50 at startup and about 70 more after an hour a drive all on cyl 1.  I also noticed that the LTFT were -5% to -15% always.  And that bank 2 is always -3% richer than bank 1. Even across all driving modes, city, highway, etc it’s always 3% richer than bank 1. So I start with the misfire. Swapped coil, plug, and plug wires from 1 to 3. No follow. I got an Injector reseal kit, pulled the D/s injector rail, swapped #1 and #3 injectors, resealed them, reinstalled and retested.  The misfire followed to 3. So I ordered and replaced all 8 injectors, spark plugs, and plug wires. Also replaced the 1 time use fuel pipes under the intake manifold.  Injectors that were in the truck since new were  Part # 12668390.  I replaced them with # 12742701 Got from RockAuto. Pretty certain they’re genuine and the correct ones. I called a friend at a parts store who told me “the 12742701 were the correct superseded part # for the originals I was replacing”. So started truck after replacing all that and it’s running -15 - -30 LTFTs. I reset the fuel trims with GDS2 and drove it for a 60 miles trip each way. There have been no changes in the LTFTs.  I checked if the HPFP was leaking into the crankcase. I removed the pvc and watched the trims. No difference.  I checked the alcohol content and it was at 10%  I’m out of ideas here. Truck seems to run great. Just always rich on the fuel trims.  Anyone with any help or ideas would be greatly appreciated.  I ran an injector balance test just for the heck of it and it came back this. I’m confused.  I have gds2 and some other diag tools if anyone knows of anything I should test next.
