I took mine in today for the third visit for the engine whine.  Some older mechanic who said he’s been in the business for a long time rode with me to hear the whining.  He tried to tell me he couldn’t hear the noise.  I said really! You don’t hear what sounds like a fire engine siren in the distance coming from the front of the truck? Then he proceeded to tell me that he was deaf in his left ear.  I laughed and said that would be my luck! Then he eventually heard it and drove it himself to see if he could feel the degradation of power as well.  He said he didn’t know how it felt when it was new so he wanted to test drive another one from the sales lot.  Not sure where that ended up because I had to get to work so I left it.  They gave me a loaner.  This visit here will take me into the time window for the lemon law. I already spoke with an attorney and started the process.

Good luck. Keep me posted cause im also curious how yours will play out. Still waiting to hear from my lawyer

It’s not just in your head.  My 6.2 Trail Boss has the 18” wheels with the GY Duratracs but mine used to feel so much more powerful.  Only have 2500 miles on it!

I don’t blame you. I love the truck, just want it fixed.  But I too am getting alittle tired of letting it sit in the shop more than my driveway!

The worst part about it is i loved my truck when i bought it and loved it after ive put some work into it with tint, lift, tires, etc. But now that its been in the shop and just been a PITA for me i lost some of my love for it. 

Looking forward to hearing from my lawyer. 

If you dont wanna post it here send me a private message i wanna know what yours says

 

Also my friends dad had a new silverado with a rear end knock that that they couldn't figure out. They bought his truck back minus $2k my friend said and gave him a new one. Didnt go into much detail but i cant imagine he lost money on it. At this point i wouldnt even take a trade in

I don't hear any knocking, It sounds normal to me. But maybe your picking up on something you can't hear through the video. As far as the power loss goes.. If they did work on the transmission they would have re-programmed or updated the tcm/ecm. Unfortunately these updates are most often are geared towards fuel economy/emissions or part longevity, not performance.

 

My 17 had an update done at one point to address low speed shifting problems. The update helped shifting slightly, but the truck didn't have the same fire it did before.

 

They said they re-built the transmission? Do you have the work order with parts/service performed?

I think it more sounds like a lower end mettalic ticking to me than a knock. Prior to the transmission repair i could hear the knock and the ticking. But either way BOTH are new compared to what its been doing the last 11k miles. 

 

I thought about that with the tranny. Asking if they can reflash it to see if that helps maybe. 

 

I still want to have them let me drive another trail boss to evaluate for myself. Cause thats the only piece of mind ill have. It never made any noise (the engine) than all of a sudden Started to make noise. 

 

I dont have the service record with me. But i know they replaced a bunch of seals and they broke 3 manifold bolts off in the process-_-

Any updates? I know it's been months but I got a 2020 6.2L LT Trail boss couple months back and I am currently having the whining noise issue.

      Wow I'm in a pickle. (Broke down truck) and a story.

      By Atlas · Posted

      So, do I go elbow-deep on this thing or list it for sale and play dumb? Seems to "runs good."   I'm about $1200 away from having: -a rebuilt injector ($300) -a new cat ($250) -a new cat back exhaust (OE style) ($300) -a new AC compressor ($200) -AC refrigerant charge ($150)   In theory, this should rectify the obvious detracting issues from its value and operability. Cold AC with a non-squeaking AC pulley both sounds and feels good. An exhaust that isn't cut/hacked in 17 different places and doesn't vibrate on a crossmember would make it sound and feel less janky. A working cat would help the stink, and will save the earth, but *if and only if* the fuel system is working properly, which would also address the intermittent "rich" CEL.   Heard a good one... CEL for "Rich condition" means you haven't spent enough money on the truck lately, and it's letting you know.   Rebuilding the injector would seem to be the most important part. Replacing the cat would be secondary. I don't think mine is plugged or overly restricted, but it might be a little restricted? I have no good way to tell other than seat of the pants feel. I hate the smell.   The current theory is I have a rich idle problem: A bad fuel pressure regulator, or a leaking injector(s) being the highest probabilities. I already replaced the FPR but that doesn't mean its replacement isn't also bad. It was a new part from Dorman, but the packaging looked like it had been sitting on a shelf for 20 years.   This is the (single) upstream O2 sensor shown at idle. I'm getting a lot of "rich" it seems. Sometimes it stays high like that and doesn't drop down. That makes me think it's processing injector leaks or a partially stuck open injector.     Other times it looks like this. Nice oscillations between rich and lean, which is what I think it should be. Under load and at speed, the oscillations are nice and tight and uniform looking, high and low.     Fuel trims suggest the PCM is compensating pretty hard at idle to pull fuel out. But it's not enough to trip a CEL. Something about slowing to a stop: brake vaccum booster, EGR, or the EVAP purge is delayed, or there's pooled fuel in the intake again that's draining into a cylinder is enough to set the CEL. Of course, in two days of driving, it hasn't set. I was hoping to actually look at the freeze-frame data when it sets. IAT is high because it's idling on an 83 degree day here.

      Gasser Subforum Has Been Quiet - - So, Regenerative Braking and Using L10

      Have considered installing a DC to DC charger in your camper to replace your isolator?

      Common failure.  You need to replace the fuel door housing.   The painted cover transfers over to the new housing.  To remove the old one there is 4 spots where you poke the plastic to release it.

      Gasser Subforum Has Been Quiet - - So, Regenerative Braking and Using L10

      By newdude · Posted

      No such thing as regenerative braking on a pure ICE vehicle.     Regenerative braking is the re-capture of energy from electric motors and stores it in the battery pack.  So hybrids, PHEV and EVs have regenerative braking.     What you are seeing is the charging system changing modes is all.  Its likely entering charge mode for some sort of reason is all.  All of the charging modes will be listed below.   As for L10 vs D.  L10 turns off automatic grade braking.  L10 puts you in control of grade downshifts where in D it will automatically do it based on brake pedal position and other factors.  Otherwise L10 and D drive exactly the same aside from that one aspect.    Battery Sulfation Mode The BCM will enter this mode when the interpreted Generator output voltage is less than 13.2 V for 45 minutes. When this condition exists the BCM will enter Charge Mode for 2–3 minutes. The BCM will then determine which mode to enter depending on voltage requirements.   Charge Mode The BCM will enter Charge Mode when ever one of the following conditions are met:   Windshield wipers are ON for more than 3 s. Climate Control Voltage Boost Mode Request is true, as sensed by the HVAC control module via serial data. High speed cooling fan, rear defogger, and HVAC high speed blower operation can cause the BCM to enter the Charge Mode. The estimated battery temperature is less than 0°C (32°F). Battery State of Charge is less than 80%. Vehicle speed is greater than 145 km/h (90 mph) A current sensor malfunction exists. System voltage is determined to be below 12.56 V When any one of these conditions is met, the system will set targeted generator output voltage to a charging voltage between 13.9–15.5 V, depending on the battery state of charge and estimated battery temperature.   Fuel Economy Mode The BCM will enter Fuel Economy Mode when the estimated battery temperature is at least 0°C (32°F) but less than or equal to 80°C (176°F), the calculated battery current is less than 15 A and greater than −8 A, and the battery state-of-charge is greater than or equal to 80%. Its targeted generator output voltage is the open circuit voltage of the battery and can be between 12.5–13.1 V. When fuel economy mode is active, the generator is not charging, only maintaining open circuit battery voltage. The BCM will exit this mode and enter Charge Mode when any of the conditions described above are present.   Headlamp Mode The BCM will enter Headlamp Mode when ever the head lamps are ON (high or low beams). Voltage will be regulated between 13.9–14.5 V.   Start Up Mode When the engine is started the BCM sets a targeted generator output voltage of 14.5 V for 30 s.   Tow/Haul Mode (if applicable) Pressing the Tow/Haul Mode button located on the center stack, the vehicle system voltage is raised and the remote (non-vehicle) battery will be charged. Having the headlamps on will raise the system voltage and if the Tow/Haul button is applied it will not serve any purpose. The voltage is regulated between 13.9-14.5 V.

      Hello from Australia Just sharing that there is now a way to delete the active shutters entirely with just a plug in module. Opens up tons of room to light bars etc.
