LS stuff usually doesn't like Bosch sensors. Only run AC Delco/Denso sensors in these trucks.

Lol. Denso is good, but other brands are ok too. You contradict your sentiments by purchasing from Amazon, which is notorious for suppling counterfeit parts (including spark plugs and o2 sensors; amon

do your plug wires have steel heat shields on them?  Try taking all of them off and running it.

I had the P0300 and it got to where it would not run well enough to get out of the driveway.  Was checking spark on #8 and was lucky to be in a spot that I could see arcing  between the heat shield and the plug boot on #6.  Took all the heat shields off and the problem was gone.  My wires were originals with 195K mi. and had checked for continuity and resistance, but no check for the insulation breaking down.  You got new wires so I don't think it is causing your problem, but it  is an easy test to try.

is it always #1 cylinder misfire. Going through the same thing on a 2011 6.0 with 209k miles and I’m thinking it’s possibly a broken valve spring, even tho compression tests fine. Did you ever get any closure on yours?

Hello, I know it has been a long time since I have been on here. I since bought a new truck and this one has been collecting dust in the yard. I got around to working on it again today as I have a buddy that is buying it from me. Turns out this whole time, the fix was a DENSO 02 sensor. Part number 234-4563 for the upstream sensor. If anyone ever has a 02 sensor code and you need to replace the sensors. MAKE SURE AND USE DENSO 02 SENSORS. THE OTHER BRANDS DO NOT WORK. All this time and a simple $37 sensor on Amazon fixed all the issues this truck had.

Lol. Denso is good, but other brands are ok too. You contradict your sentiments by purchasing from Amazon, which is notorious for suppling counterfeit parts (including spark plugs and o2 sensors; among other items) via their commingling practice. Your best bet for legitimate parts is going to be a brick and mortar store, or the dealership. Rockauto is acceptable as their shipping is directly from auto parts distribution centers and jobber suppliers.

      Lower trims ( WT, Custom, Silverado ( aka LT )

      By newdude · Posted

      HD at the moment, are kinda their own deal.  How LTZ sells on those vs on 1500, there is a difference.   They are merging most of the mid trims on 1500.  LT, RST and LTZ are replaced by one trim, Silverado.  LT and RST are a BIG portion of sales.    Bad naming choice aside, the new Silverado trim will offer the spread of options that those three trims offered.  So expect to see things like the tech package for example, and memory seats.  And LT Trail Boss will now just be "Trail Boss" (formerly LT Trail Boss) but will offer content spread like the new Silverado trim will.  The press photos showed the Trail Boss (formerly LT Trail Boss) has access to Super Cruise now, which on the current truck was High Country only.       Here is the Trail Boss interior.  Memory seats and Super Cruise are present.  All things the LT Trail Boss it replaces, and the RST it was based on didn't get on the current gen.  You had to go to LTZ or ZR2 for memory seats, and High Country for Super Cruise.

      2021 vs 2026 handling (1500 X31 Sierra)

      By dennismc · Posted

      I installed a Hellwig rear sway bar on my 21 Sierra SLT, it made a huge difference on how the truck handles, no body roll, the trucks much more planted now. Not sure of the suspension differences between the 21 and 26,  if its body roll your having a sway bar will solve it.

      frustrating P0446 code

      By Old Bay · Posted

      So a follow up and my fix. I found in online searches the live data to look at on a scan tool to verify the fuel tank pressure sensor was working.  It showed an spec number towards the lower end of the rang, but in spec.  Then while it was running opened the gas cap and the pressure should change.  It didn't change even a tiny bit.  The data for the purge valve said it was open...never changed. So then I measured the voltages on the plug for the fuel pressure sensor and they matched what it should be.  So local car quest parts had the sensor in stock...it was a bit of a pain to remove and an even bigger one to get it to actually go back in.  It helped to unbolt the driveshaft and bungie cord away from the gas tank to give a bit more room to work. So fuel tank pressure sensor in I cleared the code, and started it up.  I went to the scan tool's live data and... Eureka! The pressure number was different and fluctuated a bit.  So took it on a short drive and pressure number varied saw the purge valve go from closed to open and back to closed.  Drove it to and from work for roughly a week plugged in the scan tool no codes.  I took it in to get tested and passed.  In my state's infinite wisdom (oops meant greed), since I pushed the test with the maximum extensions I have to take it back in by Feb '27 to 'get it back up to date', then my next test won't be until Feb '29.
