Interesting... My truck threw a CEL this week (emission message, 160 miles until limited speed 65 MPH)  this was the second time in 800 miles and my truck only has 3800 miles on it. I have had 5 CEL s

Dang man, that is the exact thing mine was doing, right down to the crappy fuel mileage.  Mine goes in next week for the glow plug.  I will ask them then what they think about and ECM problem.  I have

Got my truck back yesterday. New electric water pump installed, running much better and power is back!

Turns out this pump water for the turbo intercooler which is a liquid cooled unit. 

GM is offering me 35000 GM points as a good will gesture for the parts taking so long to arrive.

I told the 50,000 would seal the deal for me but they won't budge. So I'll play the waiting game....

65k miles on my 3L diesel. Truck goes in next week for a second electric pump replacement. Had the first one around 30k miles. Truck doesn't have near the power towing and used a tank of DEF in 525 miles.

I wonder if they’ve updated the pump, or are they still using the same design when they replace them.

Mine goes in tomorrow.  Been a long winter with no remote start.  In the time since the part came in and the repair appointment was made last week I have a new CEL, P1338.  Also got a service brake monitor system on the dash yesterday.  Hoping they can fix all of them tomorrow.  
 

also was driving it the other day and with no warning went from 1k miles of DEF to zero and said tank was empty.  I check it usually each tank and last check was half full.  So seems to be using it much faster now.  First winter owning the truck so maybe the different fuel blend builds up faster in the dpf? 
 

not gonna like, really starting to miss my F150.  I love this truck but damn, seems like it’s always something.

Dealership just called. Apparently from some diagnostic testing they don’t think it’s the pump that is the issue but now believe it’s a faulty ECM that’s been the issue all along…and guess what else…the ECM is on back order! 🥸

Thanks for the update. Did they mean gm thinks now that the ecm has been the problem all along for all the pump failures, or just yours individually?

Got mine back earlier in the week.  Dealer didn't know if pump design had changed but said he has only seen a few of these failures. (I have heard that before though)  My other code was due to a faulty glow plug.  Was testing just under spec.  Goes in for that next week under powertrain warranty.  

 

So far so good, truck runs great again.  Saw a slight fuel mileage decrease with the bad coolant pump.  Not sure exactly why but have gained at least 2-3 mpg back.  Also nice to have remote start back now that the CEL is off.

Mine has thrown an intermittent glow plug value outside parameter code but seems to clear and go away. Dealership here thinks a faulty ECM might be causing both issues.  I am also getting poor fuel mileage and excessive DEF usage when the CEL is on.

I’ll ask them again when the ECM comes in. Supposedly both issues I’ve had where it called for the pump replacement was in end of January early February up here in Michigan. They said it was safe to drive and I went to Nashville this past weekend. Warmer weather and it cleared the CEL on its own. Coincidence maybe. Took it in to have the pump replaced the other day when part arrived. Told them it cleared up so he went in and manually opened the pump gate but couldn’t get flow to turbo so they think it’s an ECM and maybe tied to the glow plug outside parameters issue. 
 

I’d really like this motor if it didn’t have all the junk attached to it.

My fuel economy and DEF usage is back to normal since the pump was replaced. Power is back also. I forgot how good this truck goes! Let us know how the ECU issue pans out!

Any updates to this.  I've had #2 Glow plug replaced a month ago and now for the second time have code P3196 at tha same time of year last year with 40,000 km intervals so seems odd to have the pump go again.  Seems like a programming issue not a parts issue.  Did they replace the ECM and if so how is the truck now that it has gotten colder agian?

      Stabilitrak conversion to Z71

      By teamjnz · Posted

      Sounds like converting will be a bigger endeavor than I was thinking. This truck doesn't have 2Hi like the Suburban did. The Tahoe has 4Hi and 4Lo and a button to turn of traction control.   From what I understand the Stabilitrak uses open diff in the front and rear. When wheel speed is not the same the stabilitrak uses the ABS system to slowdown the spinning wheel(s) to transfer power to the slower non-spinning wheel(s). I thought the transfer case was open too. Being able to transfer power either more to front or rear depending on wheel spin. Maybe I miss understood some information with you saying and power transfer is 50-50. Thanks

      OCI, not when but why?

      My brother has a 2007 Avalanche with afm 5.3. It`s got 176,000 miles. Runs like a clock. Never been apart. Co worker has a 2010 Tahoe with afm 5.3. 230,000 miles. Never been apart. Runs like a clock. So, even though cyl deac is a weak spot, they can go the distance.   BUT, these engines had the oil changed regularly, AND had 5w30 as spec. I wonder if they would have lasted this far on 0w20? I`ll bet not.

      I certainly could be wrong but I hear of pickups far newer than that 2007 cutoff which may not be going to the wrecker but are having engine work done and be that a reman engine or new engine or trying to repair the existing engine. Some of it would be design issues as per the cylinder deactivation system that GM has and one of those lifters wiping out the cam and the question of oil changes moving the needle or not on that whole mess, or in the case of Ford pickup engines that have the long timing chains and wearing them out and the roller followers and phasers and some of that certainly goes back to oil change intervals. But in those various cases the truck has all sorts of life left in it and so the unfortunate owner and may be original owner or used market owner that is pouring money into repairs so the truck is not seeing the salvage yard yet but damage is happening by infrequent oil changes. A friends son had bought a 2018 I think it is half ton GM and it had some sort of extended or used dealer warranty on it and of course the lifter issue bites and its rattling and so the dealer had to swallow the bill and was at least 7000.00 and I think they only replaced what they felt they had to replace so yeah, I can see that being a ticking time bomb in the not too distant future. Would frequent oil changes cure all these engineering "marvels", probably not but some engine designs have shown that they do much better if the oil is changed a lot more often then if the manufacturer service claims are followed. New trucks cost so much that there is an incentive to keep the existing truck on the road by repairing.

      Tranmission stays in Low

      get a good code reader, and find out what problems the truck has noticed by reading codes. cheap ones can only get basic engine codes, you may want to get one that can get codes from all the computers in your truck.

      This is sort of my point, salvage yards aren't overflowing with all these 'poorly' maintained trucks - excellent/good/servicable condition otherwise, salvaged only as a result of a bad engine from poor oil change regiment.    In my area, there are no 2007 to newer gm trucks/suvs in any salvage yards. A few are in the 'recyclers' with very obvious reasons for being there - wrecked.
