Hmm seems like that makes all trucks in here 8/20 builds.  Mine is also 8/20, 900 miles,  LZ352412 So a USA build, but I think engines all come from the same factory.

Was it able to crank and start at all?  I think I remember some on here with some crazy error codes like that due to extremely low or discharged battery.   I've got a 2020 6.2 Sierra as well

I have to say.  Suttle Motors is not a bad place to do business.

At another to the ever growing list. 2020 6.2 AT4 - i dont know the build date but i assume it's around the 8/20 mark.

I've had mine for 5 days with about 250 miles on it. I was driving down the highway when suddenly i get an adaptive cruise control disengage warning, parking brake failure warning, steering assist failure warning, and then it completely died all within about 10 seconds. All the interior electronics worked and it would let me shift between gears, but it wouldn't turnover.

 

I was going 80mph in the left lane of a 6 lane highway when all this went down. Luckily i was able to coast it over and some truck drivers were able to help block traffic to let me get to the shoulder. When i opened the hood i could hear the battery ticking, but that's the only thing i could tell. I thought it may be the alternator cable recall, but since all the electrics were working i'm worried it could be the valve spring.

 

I had it towed to the dealer and am waiting to hear back.

Sorry to hear you were affected as well, I'm glad you were able to safely get to the side of the road- that could have been really bad. 

I've had my truck back from the dealership for about a week, but am still nervous that I'll have another valve spring break .. Wish they would have changed all of them.  I'm also still waiting to hear whether they will offer the 100k mile coverage component letter/warranty that the OP received.  Not how I envisioned the first few weeks of owning my dream truck, frustrating to say the least.

So is this something I should mention to my dealer or let it play out see what happens? My truck is a ft. Wayne Texas truck it says on the door. All 6.2 motors are assembled in Tonawanda I think?
No. Many are built in Silao, Mexico too.

Were you going downhill when this happened? I had the same exact issue about 4 weeks ago, but since nothing mechanical was going on I was able to pull off the freeway and get to a truck stop. I called my brother since he's a mechanic. Told him what happened. It amounted to nothing more than an electrical gremlin. He said to turn off the truck and then turn it back on. When I turned it back on everything was cleared and fine. A few weeks later I took my truck to the dealer for an accessory to be installed and told them about what happened and asked them to check for codes. No codes found.

Dealer finally got the truck in to look at it, it’s going to be there awhile, valve springs are on back order and they don’t have an ETA. Again the customer is the one inconvenienced and having to drive one of their loaner cars instead of a brand new AT4.

How do you find out where your motor was built?

I don't know. I just know that GM's facilities in Silao, MX include a propulsion systems assembly plant where they make only V8 gas engines that include the 4.8, 5.3, 6.2, and supercharged 6.2. They also produce 6-speed and 8-speed rwd transmissions.

Does it make a difference?  Are the bad springs in motors built in Mexico or U.S.A., or both?

Are there any USA built trucks in here that have broke a spring?  Your two letters before the last six numbers in your VIN would let you know.

 

LGXXXXXX  is a Mexico build

LZXXXXXX  is a USA build

Would that tell you were the vehicle was built or the engine? Where the engine was assembled is what we are trying to find out. Are the engines assembled right there at the final assembly plant or are they assembled elsewhere and shipped in?

yea not sure, just wondering really, and I'm sure your right that engines are shipped in...so truck vehicle build wouldn't matter at all then...

I'm not an expert, but I would assume the LG engine codes have VINs that start with 3, and the LZ engine codes start with 1.

 

For example, my truck VIN starts with 3 and engine code is LG. If love to see the VIN breakdown of these broken springs occurring.

      Mangoal or FitcamX OEM Dashcam?

      By MANGOAL · Posted

      Late reply, but yes—it works on the SLT trim. Compatibility comes down to the plastic shroud shape behind your mirror, not the trim badge itself. On the SLT with auto-dimming, it uses a plug-and-play Y-harness off the mirror/rain sensor power, so no need to run wires down to the OBD port. If anyone's ever unsure about fitment, just drop a photo of your mirror housing and we can double-check it.   Appreciate the detailed feedback on the install! On the windshield glare—we actually took feedback like yours and developed a dedicated CPL (polarizer) filter to cut down dash reflections on sunny days. If you're still running the cam, shoot me a DM. I'd be happy to send a CPL filter over for you to test out—no charge.

      Yes, every time the developer updates his code, you must recompile. I will private message you with the latest because it changes pretty much with every version.

      Transmission Temperature Hitting 220s

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      After I wrote that reply I went for a ride. 85 F out. So trans started at 85 F and it shifted the same as it did an hour latter at 168 F. I've never actually recorded the to cold to shift point but it is under 32 F before they start hanging on to a lower gear or leaving the converter unlocked. Both intended to heat fluid.    Yes, brake or bake. Absolutely.      Your welcome. True research ended decades ago. Field trials are still in play.    There is a thing called oxidation onset temperature. This is the heat related oxidation not the O2 exposure kind. For mineral oil that starts at 140 F. So what happens after 140 F? Each 20 F cuts fluid life in half! Does using a Full Synthetic improve that? Yes! By how much? Depends on the base oil type and a few other factors. But enough to notice. Some esters are even higher. There are even synergies between types the will raise it higher than any one component is alone.    Then there is "Hindered" oils. Antioxidant additives. Hindered Polyol Esters can sit at 500 F for years in a turbine.   When a blender brags his oil will 'take 500 F" in service he doesn't specify for how long. Water will dance on a 500 F hot plate for several seconds. @newdude put up a chart showing the relationship between fluid temperature and it's life in an automatic transmission. Here's a version of that chart for Group III based oils. These temperatures are those in the pan as observed as 'normal'. that is you drive as you do for as long as you do under what load you ask of it and whatever that temperature is this graph applies to. Flash temperatures of a few minutes isn't what his means.    Note that fluids held at a constant 240 F have a service life of only 20K miles. 220 F explains the factory exchange limit, eh? My equipment I keep under 180 F and I'm good if the cooler will hold it as low as 140 F. But that's me.
