I finally got the invoice from my dealer. It says that they replaced the “run/crank relay” PART#: 13500114

 

Maybe this is related to the part shortage that caused GM to temporarily stop production of this motor.

There’s nothing you did that will avert it happening again, and as of now GM has no clue how to make this problem go away. They are 0 for 3 on bulletins to fix it, and tightening fuse block bolts, hol

Googled that part number.   It is a pretty genaric relay of the type used to isolate the higher current load circuit from the lower current control circuit.  It is a $10.20 part.  I can't see how it could be related to the parts shortage since almost any GM suppliers of electronics could make this part.

Huh, that is a compressor relay, used back from the mid 90's!

 

There are gobs of them around.

The guys at the dealership seemed pretty confident the problem was a bad relay. The invoice said the factory relay was tested and found to be “sticking”. Time will tell I guess.

I just took mine in and they applied "PIP5823b" to flash the ecm. It cranks for about a second longer now when you start the engine, but it starts. If I have issues after this I'll reply back here. This is the only fix I've tried - I avoided all of the stuff with the shim.

glad to see im not the only one.  Have a 21 denali carbon pro,  its done this 2 times....once at 800 miles, other at 2100.  Nothing since.  Been into the dealership twice and they cant figure it out.  Going back in friday for tonneau cover install.  Guess we will see.  its just 80grand right?

From krillab's post, it's already the PIP has already been updated to version 5823B,

but it seems to apply to all 20 and 21 LM2

Made appt by phone at dealership to get 1st oil/filter change and discussed the long crank/no start issue and gave her PIP5823b. Arrived at dealer and reminded her of the long crank/no start issue with a great audible description. They called 4 hrs later stating truck was ready. She indicated that the tech said PIP5823b did not apply and he could not recreate the problem. Got in truck and read the ticket.

 

"Customer states vehicle intermittently shuts off. Technician found no trouble."

On my second 2021 3.0 Sierra with crank no start issues. First truck was taken back by dealership with x1 episode after reading this forum. Second truck same model has had x3 episodes now. Was scoped after second episode to diagnose bent   Wheel. Wheel was not bent and shim installed. Yesterday was the 3rd episode of crank no start and will be getting pip5823A performed this Monday. Also mentioned the relay part and was told national back order but has one ordered. Everybody that is getting this service done needs to update this forum every 300-500mi or so we have paper tail for the dealerships. My dealership didn’t even know about the recent pip and it was bc of this forum I made them aware. Guys/gals it’s power in numbers that gets this fixed. I’ll update after my fix if it fails before the mi mark. Also I was in a hurry each time not hitting button first then brake to button sequence. Starts second try every time.  Ttyl

I have one of the trucks that had the above mentioned relay replaced. Just for poops and laughs I removed that relay and tried starting the truck… it still started. I’m not convinced that relay has anything to do with it. 
 

nvm I had pulled the wrong one. It didn’t start.

I had the pip5823b done about 300 miles ago. So far so good. As everyone who has had it done states, it cranks over a hair longer then it used to but it has started every time. I don't even second guess or think about it not starting anymore

My truck has three of those same relays in the underhood fuse box.  One for start, one for the headlights, and one for running lights.  If someone wants to see if it the relay, just rotate it with one of the ones doing light duty.   It pretty easy to tell if your lights still work.  My guess is your dealer didn't know what to change so they changed the cheapest part they could find.  These relays sell for about $10 from GM OEM dealers.   Dealers seem lost when it comes to troubleshooting this problem.

 

I wish GM would explain what they changed in the ECU program.  My guess is they are adding some time delays to give the ECU time to see all the inputs in what is likely a long list of parameters.   Or, perhaps they are just giving the fuel pump and little extra time to spool up.

      He has his dad’s newer truck he’s put away. He has several old cars he rotates between him and his family. I’ve seen a restored square body and a SS Chevy truck he’s sometimes drives. He did raffle off a new suburban recently. As much as he is watched if he drove new stuff as a rule we’d know it. It would be fine by me. I don’t care what people prefer. I got one more new one in me. I’d rather my wife get one. I can’t get her out of the Genesis. Don’t tell anyone. I want her to get an electric truck. I want to put a generator in the back. Just because. She hasn’t bit yet.

      Yes, you must have seen my thread on the Blazer. HOT GARBAGE, but I love them anyway. I'm convinced every car guy has a soft sport for an S/T series somewheres. Probably even a Panther too, if I'm being an honest car guy. That doesn't mean they aren't junk. And they definitely don't get better with age. I sometimes play with old cars, but that's by choice. I don't rely on them and they aren't my everyday fleet.   Derek plays the common man on Youtube and that's no doubt where he started. Now he has Youtube money (and Motortrend, etc). You think his crews and his wife ride around in old beaters when they're chasing him and his wrecks across the country? No he's got newer and nicer stuff for that, you'll see glimpses of it in the footage.

      You refuse to own anything made in this century yet you reportedly own... a 2007 Silverado, which is now almost 20 years old. The dissonance.... turn up your hearing aid?   You clearly don't understand the government contracting process, brother. We send people to die on front lines, keep the public safe, and make people's husbands, wives, children enter burning buildings with equipment from .....wait for it.....   ...the lowest bidder....   Just because something is used for a long time doesn't mean it's good. But it might be cheap and plentiful.   Please, continue to whine about new trucks in a thread dedicated to new trucks, which you've said you'll never own. We get it. Go tell everyone how you're stuck in time on a Panther forum. I mean, Jesus, an 86 isn't even one of the good Panthers.

      It really is comical when people don’t agree or see the reason some people prefer the older vehicles. They become condescending. All the while they may be busting their knuckles on old vehicles. I have found memories of swapping out engines in my old GM cars in a weekend without much hassle. Unlike today. One wrong move a computer will shut you down. Even on something as easy as a brake job. There’s a pretty comical YouTuber called the car wizard. A garage owner who puts it all in perspective. Another Vicegrip garage that’s shows just how tough the old stuff is.

      I was around and remember that era very well, so I'm calling b/s on that statement. If they were that bad no police department or taxi company would've bought a single one ... but they were used in both services (and fire) for DECADES. They were bulletproof and proven. Even the early 21st century ones weren't too bad! The early models were legendary.   Mine is proof, but people like atlas are blinded by agenda and refuse to believe facts right before their very eyes.   Even decades after they were built, a new generation started driving them, posting all their builds and shenanigans on Grandmarq.net and Crownvic.net. The failures would show up then, since they all were deep past 100k-150k miles by that point, and younger drivers tend to be a little aggressive, especially with vehicles than can lay a one-tire fire for as long as you hold your foot in it. They've more than proven themselves over the decades.   The only thing that'll really take them out is road salt. The bodies and sheet metal were garbage. A victim of the cheapout FoMoCo and GM have been partaking in before then, and since.   Today it's the stuff that counts - the undercarriage that rots away first!    GMs Caprice was no slouch either. Reliable as a stone ax - the opposite of what they build now.
