What 'more' are you referring to?
I'm not asking anything more than what the LS engine has been doing basically for nearly three decades.
They aren't spinning significantly faster, I doubt the loads placed on those components has changed significantly.
Even the oil weight has been the same since at least 2007, when 5w-20 was the spec for my Silverado. (The 2016 might be 0-20... don't fault the memory)
I wonder if a manufacture would ever do a 'limited' lifetime power train warranty, that covers more or less a long block, block (rotating assembly, heads, cam, LIFTERS, timing set) plus transmission internals.
I don't need an alternator, O2 sensor, radiator, etc. warranty, but if it requires a machin shop to fix...
Oddly enough, Kia (I think) used to offer something ridiculous on the power train, GM used to have a 5 year 100k power train, and some dealers offer 'engines for life' here. Without delving into the fine print...
Maybe I missed that...getting old. Yes, I would use Techron first then use the Chevron gas to help keep them clean.
Back in the day, I was a Service Manager for a BMW dealer and we would use the walnut shells to clean the exhaust port in the head, but, everything had to come apart and a special machine would blast the chamber with the shells and vacuum it out at the same time. It is not for a "Harry home owner" to do. I wouldn't bother if it is running smooth.
There my nickel. LOL
OK.... so I think it is fixed this time.
New updated program required to get this running is #PIT6504 dated Apr 1 , 2026.
Appears the applications cover numerous Chevy and GMC vehicles with fwd col, AEB, and LKA options.
Hopefully this helps someone out in the future with these issues.
I just delt with this this morning. Already replaced my condenser two years ago. I didn't have to replace my blend door actuator, I just had to do the relearn process and it worked.
