Engine failure

[Tuckertruck]

My truck started ruining rough, made it home then went back a few hours later and started it again. Well it caused at least one piston to break and a hole in the engine block. Plus about 14 codes came up. Anyone else have this issue?

Don't recall seeing any other posts like yours.

WOW!!! How old is the truck and how many miles on the engine?? I have over 7,500 miles on my truck.

[Tuckertruck]

The truck is less than 6 months old and around 7,200 miles on it. I've seen a lot of stuff about electrical failures but I'm just waiting for the dealership to give me some kind of answer.

Sorry this happened.  Sounds like a flaw in the material on that connecting rod.  Very rare but it can happen.

Man, that sucks! Glad it happened under warranty. Hopefully they can get you back up and running with a new engine soon. And give you a loaner in the meantime. Keep us posted on the failure results.

Injector failed open and caused hydraulic lock?

So update on truck is Dealership found water stains and small amount of something in the intake. They said it is water but I don't go off roading with my truck, I have a side by side for that. Also it hasn't rained here in a few weeks. All in all the dealership says it's not covered under warranty. This is exactly why I didn't take it to them without seeing what was wrong with it myself. I did see water stains but there are water stains in the entire engine compartment. I found no water inside the intake and the oil was perfect. Changed 1 week before. So now my insurance company is involved. Anyone known if there is anyone I might be able to call with GM to help?

Wanted to post code list that my truck pulled up. I'm seriously starting to wonder if anyone at Chevy knows what the **** they are doing.

Oh wow sorry you're dealing with this.  What a crappy dealership, which one is it?

Are you sure you’re truck didn’t get flooded??

[Tuckertruck]

It's in Florida and I'm absolutely positive. Unless washing the outside of the truck isn't something you should do. It was never in water.

They can't just say it had water introduced in it, they have to prove. They are ****ing you by saying this.

Get GM corporate involved since your dealer is not competent.
