I installed my longtubes over the weekend and decided to check the codes with my scanner and seen I had a C0300 code. Says rear propshaft speed sensor. From what I’ve googled. Never had this code before the longtubes so I’m assuming I did something during the install. What exactly is this sensor and where is it located?

It should be at the rear of the transmission for 2wd, or the rear of the transfer case for 4wd.

 

I'd be looking around the headers/exhaust to see if any wiring has come close and melted, or if something was pulled or if the connector was unplugged  and not fully reinserted.

I checked and didn’t find anything. Run the code reader again after I looked and it was gone. Actually did it twice and wasn’t there either time.

Sorry this is off topic but I'm looking to install long tube headers on my 6.2. Did you more noise in the cab at freeway speeds? Thanks.

There’s definitely more noise. I went catless as well. It does have drone nothing crazy but definitely noticeable. I can also hear what sounds like rushing air under the floorboard at light acceleration. It doesn’t sound like a tick or ping like people say with a leak. I don’t have leaks at the collectors or where the y pipe goes together that i can feel or see. I also re torqued the header bolts after 3 heat cycles and don’t see spot or any evidence of a leak there either. May be normal this is my first set so I’m not sure what’s normal.

Excellent description. Thank you. From what you describe it sounds similar to my old 5.7 OBS chevy with headers. Thought 2014+ body style might different.

Was this the only code?  Its not coming up as a good code in the GM service manual.  Doesn't come up in the master DTC list either for a K2 Sierra.

      AFM Experience

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Question @diyer2 on this line if you please. Are you saying the shudder is the system turning on and off at the frequency of the shudder? Guess I'm asking if you are saying you have seen it do this with the bi-direction scan tool in graph mode? If so have you been able to discern the 'trigger'. Something is telling to cycle rapidly.    My truck just started doing this recently. 197K on the clock. My response has been M5 anything under 55 mph. I treat it like a lugging stick shift. Gear down and let it spin a bit. Engauge M5, then tow mode and then M6 lets the trans stay in 5th but the AFM is active. Smooth like Skippy.    My thought was that as a machine ages the friction gets lower and as the system is load based, the lower friction would allow it to turn on at ever lower rpm until it reaches the lugging point. And yes I am ignorant of any minimum rpm requirement for the system. If you know that would be useful information.    As you know I run a Scan-Gauge II which allows me to watch the On/Off of the signal to the VLOM. While in the shudder mode I'm not seeing is cycle at that frequency or at all for that matter outside the triggers @newdude posted a few years back. Now is it possible that the refresh rate isn't fast enough to catch it? Maybe. It is why I asked my first question about graphing and trigging parameter.     As we have observed from members here the failure point is all over the map miles wise as you note yourself in your opening post. That by itself begs a few questions like fellows that comment on these lifters failing even after the system has been disabled. Long after. 😬   https://www.enginelabs.com/news/tech-tips-replacing-ls-active-fuel-management-lifters-with-melling/   The Gen5 lifters operate the same as the LS versions. In fact they are the same lifter.    https://www.enginelabs.com/tech-stories/sorting-out-gen-v-lt-lifter-failure-with-a-simple-valvetrain-fix/

      14-18 Sierra 1500 Heated Steering Wheel Help

      By SwitchBladeSierra · Posted

      UPDATE 2: Steering wheel control backlights and control of the cluster can supposedly be achieved by adding a wire to pin 20 of the cluster and tapping it to pin 2 of the main clock spring harness. I'm going to give it a shot - will update

      Seems to be Missing a lot of Updates

      By newdude · Posted

      GM Global A pickups 2019-2022 can do OTA programming for the radio.  GM VIP (GM Global B) can do OTAs for almost every module on board.  So a 2022.5 and newer pickup can do OTAs for recalls like the 2.7 fuel flow recall.  EVs get OTAs that improve one pedal driving, radio issues, HVAC issues, updated battery management software, etc.     So age of the vehicle/what GM electrical platform its on will alter what amount of updates can be pushed on OTAs.

      Upgrade to a 2026 AT4 with the 3.0L Duramax

      By Blade8971 · Posted

      Thank You.   So far my new ride is making me look like a genius for going with the 3.0L, as my first fuel refill occurred over three weeks from when I took delivery.  This engine combination is very amazing.  So far no issues and had not done a regen yet.

      Correct way to service 2024 l8t allison trans?

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      I am curious as to how much fluid you put back in the transmission ( assuming you had replaced the filter to compare to my findings ) and then went through the process of warming up the trans before pulling the check plug to drain out the excess and if you measured how much came back out.    I just found it surprising that some claimed a certain amount less fluid being put in and then draining some back out. The attitude of the truck as per if the surface is level and how the trucks stance is would make quite a difference since the check plug is right at the front of the transmission.
