Just updating everyone on the crank no start issue on my 21 Silverado.  It has happened 3 times so far 1500 mi 4800 mi and 6070 miles.  It has always been with a warm engine.  it always starts second try perfect.

With less than 3500 km's our truck has had long crank/no start 5 times. The last one was a cold start in the morning. All were using push button start.

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

Mine has happened on a warm engine and a cold one. Only thing in common was that I was in a hurry both times, pressing the brake and the start button at the same time. Foot definitely was not on the gas pedal. Normally, I press the button, put my foot on the brake, and press the button again to start. Never had an issue that way.

Has anyone has the “shim” installed on the cam shaft position sensor long enough to know if that fixed the issue?  

I got my shim added a few weeks ago, just went on a 5 hour drive & back for a week long vaca with it but no issues as of yet....

Has anyone ever had the truck fail to eventually start after one or several of the long crank/no start issues? In other words it never started and you had to have it towed?

With mine, i would get the long crank/no start & would have to wait over an hour for it to finally start again. I would try multiple times to start it to the point where the battery almost died bc it wasn't starting. Both times the tow trucks were on their way/just arrived & then it finally would start with no issues.

Hi Camille. Hopefully your truck had the 4 hour procedure to add the shim, and not the "cab off" method.

There are two separate issues. 1. Camshaft position sensor reluctor wheel bent. 2. Camshaft position sensor shim installed. The TSB on either requires removal of camshaft cover. It is my understanding that the shim addition is added if the camshaft reluctor replacement does not fix the problem. The cab off procedure makes it easier to work on the engine. It is not mandatory.

They got the shim on a monday & then it was ready by tuesday afternoon so i'm 99% sure they never took the cab off thankfully!

See previous post and pictures, they removed my front end and took the motor out… but thank goodness, GM is going to re-purchase/reimburse me for my truck.

I thought I read earlier someone left their truck with the dealer to drive to see if they could replicate the problem with a computer hooked to it. Was there ever a response posted as to what they found?  How many have had the shim installed?  I see Camille with no issues yet. Anyone else?

Dang Gruggas.  Is this the same truck that got the exciter wheel replaced?  I thought they were buying yours back.   Just got done with my first oil change and got an ecm  update. I’m sure I’ll be back at the dealer soon.

Just picked mine up from the dealership and was informed that they were able to recreate the crank no start issue and they “fixed” the problem. I was then told they updated the software and instantly my excitement faded away. They also did something to the regen cycle. It was in regen on the way home and I heard no knocking.  In my state it takes 4 repair attempts and 20 days at dealership for the same issue to use lemon law, so one down 3 to go. Due to the fact that I am interested in a buyback I have to record every time I hit the start button for proof. Will post updates.

Did they say what they did to correct the regen knocking?

I just had the no-start happen repeatedly in a parking lot. I disconnected the battery for a little bit and the truck started right up after reconnecting.

I have 6K on my truck and have had the issue about 10-12 times... Never on auto restart. To me it seems like the firmware is not starting the fuel flow but the starter engages, the next time you hit the button fuel flows and all is well but the dealer can't reproduce so they say it's in my head.

      The engine was done as part of the 6.2 recall?   You'd have to see if your VIN also has the 6.2 engine special coverage on it.  Coverage number is N252494003.  If you have this, your engine is covered under this and NOT the GM replacement part engine warranty which is 3yr/100k from the date of install.  The 3yr/100k mi warranty is in effect for non warranty purchases.     This is not any different if it was replaced under warranty without a recall or special coverage.  So if you had a 5.3 and it popped at 3 years in at 50,000mi during the 5yr/60k powertrain, the replacement engine would not get the 3yr/100k, and instead gets the remainder of the 5yr/60k as coverage.     So N252494003 gives 10 years or 150,000mi of coverage, which ever comes first, starting at the vehicle in service date.  So if your in service date is 01/01/2022, N252494003 gives you special coverage of the engine until 01/01/2032 or 150,000mi, whichever comes first.  So if your start date was 01/01/2022, you'd have left 5 years and 4 months (lets round to august 1st), or 62,000mi left of coverage.   So you need to know your in service date to know how much coverage is left.

      Injector update

      By CamGTP · Posted

      Okiee dokie there bud, way to take things to the extreme.   I guess you missed the whole point and take things way to serious. I installed different EV6 style injectors that just so happen to be larger in my car running the same LQ4 engine and with a better spray pattern than the stock style injectors and I noticed no difference in the idle quality. Kinda was my round about way of saying that even if you put the same size but better style injectors in your truck, you will likely see the same thing.    I'm sure you're great to have conversations with in person if that's how you act through a keyboard. One little things sets you off and now I guess my dick is all up in your face.

      I can't believe that could possibly be the case. It should be 36mo/100k miles from installation. Then again, it also seems like since a dealership installed it, it'd all be in the system and you wouldn't need to worry about registering, either. Shows you what I know. 😄 Hope this one outlives the warranty!

      I haven't seen inventory recovery from COVID.    In the few random times I 'build my own' truck or SUV, no one has the exact one I want.   GM has been working to lower incentives too for a long time.    A $500 incentive isn't getting me off the couch to go truck shopping.
