Morning folks,

 

I recently saw this article regarding this issue with some of the listed vehicles experiencing a  no start or long cranking situation when starting their trucks/SUV’s. I have a 2018 Sierra Denali 1500 and can honestly say numerous times when starting my truck I noticed that the starter is still continuously cranking the motor over for too long.  Hard to explain, but I’ve also noticed this a lot this winter when using the factory remote starter from key fob.   Is anyone else experiencing this with 2018 or older models ?

 

Thanks,

 

Joe

I have a 2018 Sierra all terrain and I have not noticed this on key starts or remote starts. Do you have a link to that article? I’d like to read it just in case.

Thx

Long cranks in the cold weather is pretty normal.

 

Direct injection and needing to build fuel pressure for the high pressure fuel pump kinda lead to this. If you pay attention to the tail pipe you'd also notice black unburnt fuel come out of the exhaust on start up. Sometimes it's several seconds of cranking when it's real cold for me.

Looks like it's just a TSB.
Not a recall yet. Probably won't be either.
GM has a knack for sidestepping schitt like this.

I don’t have the link unfortunately.  I saw it when you first go the website for GM-trucks.com.  It’s right on the home page.  Currently only a TSB for 19’ and newer model years.

      Is the 6.2L L87 in a 2026 Sierra 1500 ok?

      By asilverblazer · Posted

      What meaningful corrections were done to fix the "machining errors?"   I bet nothing, because the 6.2 is soon to be obsolete. Why would GM implement any fix let alone an "expensive one?"   Until someone can provide any convincing information that GM did ANYTHING to correct the engines - the 6.2 is no for me.    Which means keeping the 2016 Denali longer until the next generation (6.6?) proves itself.

      If my father took a Sunday off. We did the Sunday drive. Usually stopping at a Geno’s for dinner that we eat in the car. Six of us with my little sister up front. It was always a Buick growing up. In New Jersey you couldn’t get lost. Not like Texas.

      I suppose I am Atlas. It can always be worse, eh?   I had a friend once that rolled one payment into another until he was paying the price of Benz for a 10 year old back marker. Wouldn't be often you start a new payment the month following your old one.

      I still enjoy the drive   Some people fish when they retire; some golf. I drive. We've lived in the same general area now for twenty eight years and I'm still finding at least monthly some sweet quite little road to explore. When I tell the Mrs. I'm heading out for coffee she knows that could be a five hour event. Often she even goes along.    I like finding new rural routes used mainly by the locals that start nowhere in particular and end the same way. Many in the area of that type are narrow paved and twisty, hilly and run through field and timber. Often along creeks or wetlands. Unfarmable areas of great natural beauty.    After years of this type of exploration they start to fit together. One ending a mile or so from another and you start threading together a new path from a unfamiliar place to a new adventure. Sometimes to a little town of under five hundred that used to be something before the Interstate or some railroad or US highway bled the life out of it that has a small dinner with the greatest slice of pie you've eaten since grandma made her last. A little village museum or library or even a town square park with grand old oak, walnut and Osage orange trees to sit under while you sip you gas station coffee and chat up some locals.    Often they are full of stories about the main streets more interesting buildings and the who's who of the area. Sometimes some hidden attraction or unseen history. Our area is full of old coal mines.     A younger self used to do this going cross country by motorcycle. Only a general area as a destination with no time to get there and no time to be back. Sitting at days end in a 10 unit off the main highway motel under a Sycamore tree yacking with the owner or his one semipermanent guest while I adjusted valves or the chain. Always a wave and a shout "Hey there stranger"!  It's how I came by my love of old Brit iron. There is no such things as a ten minute gas stop when your on a Enfield or a vintage Triumph. Same being true of old cars.    If you take the time to really look I've found everywhere is someplace interesting. Illinois or West Virginia. Different and yet the same.    People are in a more relaxed mood and will talk about anything and everything and if they like you there may be a cupp'a or a lemonade and a sandwich in it. 😉
