Sierra 3.0 - DEF crawl mode

Ok…so I have a 2020 GMC Sierra with the 3.0L, owned it since September 2020. 
 

I am doing a cross country military move and have approximately 18,000 miles on the vehicle. Have broke down THREE times now with a fault in the DEF system. This is my 8th night of being stranded from Utah to Colorado. 
 

The first two codes were P2382 and the third code is P2383.
 

Utah GM dealership replaced replaced the exhaust differential sensor. The Denver GM dealership has shot wires and tightened connections. Denver did a 90 mile test drive and couldn’t get it to duplicate after repair. I drove 18 miles from dealer and got the engine light and went into crawl mode. 
 

Symtoms:

- Check Engine Light

- Service Emmission System

- Engine cooling fans on full blow

- Rough idle +/- 400 RPM

 

Questions:

1. Has anyone dealt with this?

2. Has anyone had GM jump through their but to help someone stuck on a cross country move? 
3. Has anyone dealt with buy-back or lemon law? 
 

I honestly don’t trust this truck.

After the ecm and reductant operating system is discarded, the prkifur filter needs to be cleaned..we experienced this problem. We solve it without changing any parts..

After ecm and reductant programming is done with ac delco tds, parkour regeneration cleaning will solve the problem. you can be sure.3.0 dumax diesel wehicle. p2382 and p2383 codes.

I have a 2021 Sierra 1500 AT4 with the 3.0, it was in the shop for 2 months. They replaced the exhaust system twice and the Nox sensors once. They released it after thier third attempt saying it was fixed. Unfortunately, the light came back on after 48 miles. The code is the same P2382. Sense it is still under warranty and GMC is screwing me around. I retained a lemon law firm probono. GMC is obligated to buy your truck back and compensate you for any collateral damages.

      I love my truck but

      Not exactly what I was hoping for, but I do like it. I wonder if they'll bring back Smokey Quartz Metallic? 🤔 https://gmauthority.com/blog/2026/06/here-is-the-all-new-2027-gmc-sierra-1500/

      Whoever greenlighted the work truck matte black front bumpers on every trim but the AT4X should be fired!  I was hoping that was an AI mistake, but just realized they were on every model of the 2027 Silverado too.     Some parts of the interior do look premium, but the Denali Ultimate dashboard looks like an afterthought.  At least they appear to have lost the microfiber the high end Silverado models showed, but the '27 High Country dash looks better than the Denali.

      Intermittent no-code issues on 2022.5+ V8 trucks — what did the shop fail to capture?

      By bluev8 · Posted

      New member here. I am researching a read-first event-recorder concept for late-model GM V8 trucks. This is not a sales post. There is no product link, price, preorder, or mailing list. I am trying to determine whether the underlying problem is real before building anything.   Has your truck ever had a brief problem such as: - rough running or a momentary misfire - an oil-pressure warning or unusual pressure event - reduced power or a brief stall - a U-code or lost-communication problem - a symptom that disappeared before the dealer or independent shop could reproduce it   If so, I would appreciate the following details: - year, model, engine, and mileage - what happened and under what conditions - whether a DTC and useful freeze-frame data were stored - whether the shop was able to reproduce it - what the eventual confirmed repair was, if known - what additional information would have helped the diagnosis   The concept being evaluated is a removable leave-in recorder that continuously retains a rolling window from before and after an event. It would not tune, reflash, clear codes, or change the vehicle calibration.   I am also not claiming that it could predict lifter failure or see every internal ECM variable.   The real question is whether continuous event history would add enough useful evidence beyond freeze frame, GDS2, and existing scan tools — or whether it would simply be another unnecessary gadget.   For owners and technicians, which problem would make something like this genuinely useful: 1. intermittent misfire or AFM/DFM-related behavior 2. oil-pressure events 3. lost communication or electrical faults 4. none of the above Please be blunt. Negative feedback is just as useful as positive feedback.

      No tears over the SLE and SLT trim levels disappearing but I kind of loathe the "Elevation" name. It's a truck--skip the elegance.   The slab-dashboard design is decidedly different. Almost has a Hummer flavor to it. "Professional Grade" seems to be leaning very white-collar, tech-driven these days moreso than blue-collar, functional design.   The Silverado would be my choice between the two new trucks. Pleased with the engine lineup in both. The GMC is a little "too much" for a truck, IMO, and the Denali borders on ridiculous - but I do know there are buyers for luxury trucks out there. It's just not my speed.
