Welp, they have been nothing but helpful.  If you're in the area (NE Illinois) Ray Chevy.. kudos!   Getting a new engine and they're supplying me with another Silverado until it's done

I don't toss around 50-60k dollars like some.  It's pretty sad to spend this kind of money and be out for ANY length of time.   That said, it's 2020 and all ****ery is possible.

Cut and past from the GM notice posted elsewhere:

 

Some 2020 Silverado, Sierra; 2020-2021 Camaro; 2021 Corvette, Tahoe, Suburban, Yukon, and Escalade models equipped with the 5.3L engine (RPOs L82, L84), 6.2L engine (RPOs L87, LT1, LT4, LT2), or 6.6L engine (RPO L8T) may have a misfire and engine noise condition. The Check Engine MIL also may be illuminated along with several possible DTCs, including DTCs P0300, P0106, P0506, P3189, P318A, P318B, P318C, P318D, P318E, P318F, and P3190. These conditions may be due to a broken valve spring.

If it’s determined during an inspection that the engine has a broken valve spring, a cylinder leakage test on the affected cylinder must be performed.

 

5.3L and 6.6L Engines

On 5.3L and 6.6L engines (RPOs L82, L84 and L8T) built from June 1, 2020 to October 7, 2020, if cylinder leakage is not observed, replace only the affected valve spring. (Fig. 13)

 

6.2L Engines

On 6.2L engines (RPOs L87, LT1, LT4 and LT2) built from June 1, 2020 to October 7, 2020, if cylinder leakage is not observed, replace all valve springs on both cylinder banks.

Anyone with that build date with a 6.2 make it past 5000 miles?

Just at 7,000.   And it's been broken in rough.  A few trips down the 1/4 mile and some other "spirited" driving.

4000 miles here, 8/20 build, no issues with the engine yet, leaky rear window is an entire other story...

 

as a side note....It does seem like the lifters in these new dynamic fuel management V-8s are failing early in life cycles..

New dmf victim checking in 8500 mile failure

Guy walked in service department at the same time with 21 at4 suv whose pushrod was bent to all hell, dealer in Florida changed it and lifter job but app sent him alerts a week later so he pulled up to our dealer to show documents and codes,

 

 

didn’t sign up for this kinda failure, in 3rd year of a platform

Oh man, that's not good, I've heard of a couple guys here where I live too that have had issues with the lifters.  I was really hoping the older AFM lifter issues might have been resolved with this new DFM, but obviously not.  Its crazy this fuel management stuff has been around since like 2010 or something like that....you would think in a decade things can be improved to work without failure, especially early failure.  Your right, it really isn't acceptable.

I just had the exact same thing happen yesterday on my 2021 Sierra Denali with only 3800 miles on it... So pissed!!
 

 

Agreed.. it's not his problem.  He didn't design, engineer, or build the truck.  He just sold something he thought would be working.

 

@SILVER SLED, she barely can maintain idle.  CEL is on but OnStar says no issues.  I wasn't on it either;  I was at 50 mph and cruising when I felt what seemed like a flat tire at first.  Over a period of ~15 to 30 seconds it went from that to sounding like a lifter tick to a full-on bang sound.

 

Been a GM guy for 20+ years..... had two Fords with no issues.  This isn't leaving a good taste in my mouth

And at this point, the truck is owned by the bank (or the OP) , not the dealership, salesperson, or GM.

The dealer can call the bank and "swap collateral " if thats the route they go. I'd rather get a new engine that has been updated rather than another truck on the lot that may do the same thing. 

 

GM needs to get this under wraps pretty quickly...

Actually it is far worse than that as this has been an ongoing issue since they released the newer DI engines back at the start of the 14 model year, yes this has been an issue for 8 years now. Seems it has just been allowed to continue, you would think a part supplier or design change would of been implemented in the last 8 years but here we are!

Just to be clear, my case was NOT a pushrod issue.  It was a broken valve spring that grenaded the motor

Yes and like i said it has been an ongoing problem for 8 years now. Collapsed Lifters which lead to bent pushrods and valve springs breaking are all 6.2 issues that have been happening since the 14 model change.

The valve spring issue in the 6.2's is a completely separate issue from the lifter issue and is a much more recent event. 

 

A collapsed lifter, happening for a while now on GM's engines, will short stroke a rocker arm creating less stress on a valve spring, not more.

      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.

      Active Grille Delete

      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.

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

      By jake111 · Posted

      I have an observation and a question... 1) I watch the voltage closely because I have had to dial in the cut-in/cut-out voltages of the battery separator to my camper.  The "smart" charging drives me nuts.  Anyway, I noticed that when coasting for a while, and especially if lightly using the brakes (though not necessary), the voltage goes up from mid/high-13 volts to mid/high-14 volts.  Then it drops back down after stopping or going again.  Consistently!   The only explanation I can come up with is REGENERATIVE BRAKING!  Well, maybe that's a little bit of an exaggeration, but it's certainly free extra battery charging.   2) Driving on mountain roads I will use L and vary the max gear.  Things straighten out and I end up in L10.  Sometimes I leave it there for a while.  Is there any difference between L10 and D?

      Tire pressure for 37s

      Do you think this width might affect the chalk test with a higher pressure closer to 65psi? I think lowering the pressure makes sense to get the tread to lay flatter
