Well crap!  Almost sounds like a bad harness connection or something maybe...

 

No issues starting, driving, etc.  Zero issues before this.

Ok, that was on my way to the park and ride this am.  Just got back to truck about 30mins ago.... went into limp mode, pulled back in to parking lot, put in park and killed it... except it says “Put into Park” now and won’t totally turn off.  Motor is off but dash and radio still on.  Waiting for tow truck now while having a beer in ac at sportbar by park and ride lot...

 

2 months old and 2200 miles... sad!

Your only "vehicle" now is beer, let it choose your path🤔😬🍺🍺

 

Good luck on the truck, hope it is something easy and simple to fix.

Thanks!  Me too!

 

I will update when I know more, hopefully tomorrow.  It just got offloaded at the closest dealer, they said they would look at it tomorrow.

No, I thought about it but decided to let them have it as is rather than it maybe start again and then wonder when it quits or they say they can’t replicate it.  Things are so computerized/electronic these days, it’s nice when things work but little things can be very frustrating!

 

When I first saw the O2 sensor code, my first thought was someone stole my catalytic converter last night, but it was still there.

Well, looks like it was as simple as a bad battery... time will tell.

 

They tried to charge it (wouldn’t turn completely off before I had it towed, so battery drained overnight), and it wouldn’t take a charge at all.  They replaced the battery and truck is acting normal. Guess all these dang electronics are extra sensitive, never had an issue like this with my Camaro and the battery gets kinda low frequently as I don’t drive it a lot.

Yes todays cars and trucks can not run on a lame battery like the did in the old days. You also can not jump start a battery which i didn't realize until recently, and thankfully not learning it the hard way.

When did this happen? 

Is there a year cutoff?

I did a quick search to find this article but i heard a mechanic on a car forum discussing it and didn't realize it could have damaging effects. Glad i have not had the need for a jump in many years now.

It is carefully worded. Very carefully worded. You used the word (CAN"T) be jumped. I'm not being nit picky here but rather precise. It certainly can be. 

 

Is there a risk? Yep. How big? In his own words:

 

How serious is the risk when neither engine is running? I admit, it’s pretty low if the dead battery is just slightly discharged but still above the 9.6-volt threshold, but it’s not zero.

 

Post is littered with the words "maybe", "might", "could", "is possible" 

 

The thing that creates doubt for me is two fold.

1.) GM still prints jumping instructions in the manual.

(They are on the hook for the damage during the warranty)

2.) He goes straight to the sale of a jumper pack

 

This follows basic marketing strategies: 

  •  Create a fear/doubt
  •  Create a solution
  •  Create a profit

I like jumper pack's. Own one. They are convenient, small, easy to manage and don't require a circumstance of a passer by being handy.

 

If you read the manual and follow it you will note that there is a method of assuring this voltage spiking does not happen.

I don't think he is trying to sell anything, there is a risk of damage being done so why take that chance? Regardless of it being minimal it would suck to get a jump and either damage your vehicle or the one doing the jump and it is proven that it can indeed happen.

 

As you said jumper boxes are more convenient and as stated in that article are the safe way to jump a dead battery in todays cars and trucks. No need to take chances to save what 50-100 bucks for a jumper box.

      2027 GMC Sierra: Official Discussion

      By Jus Cruisin · Posted

      I was the GM of a Lincoln Mercury dealership back in the 80's. The service lot was always full with "broken" ones. Plenty of transmissions, power windows and a/c repairs. The only one I'd consider owning would be the Marauder at this point and it certainly wouldn't be a daily driver.  My 2025 GMC Sierra 1500 Denali Ultimate is my "Lincoln Town Car" in my retirement. I want all the "stuff". Big infotainment screens, one touch power windows, Supercruise (I won't buy another vehicle without it), hands free pretty much everything. I'm going to swap my current truck for a 2027 Yukon Denali Ultimate so I can have the air suspension and surround vision recording along with all the other "stuff".

      The Denali Ultimate's grille is tinted, but the "regular' Denali has a bright chrome grille like the current models.

      Because that is IDIOTIC, much like this question. They've already been forced to do it by past administrations - why would you roll that back when it's a GOOD thing?  WHO IS ARGUING FOR LOWER MILEAGE???? 😂  NOBODY IS!!   I'm certainly not! What I want is RELIABLE vehicles again that are worth the price paid!    I don't get your logic here ...   In 2003 I paid $2,200 for our '86 Grand Marquis. It's STILL running and I've never been inside the engine, aside for the timing cover since it was leaking, so I threw a new timing set in since that makes sense. Transmission is ORIGINAL. Electric pump in the gas tank is ORIGINAL. Rear end is ORIGINAL. I'd have to hit my head REAL hard to want to pay $60k or more for a car that still can't come close to the comfort, seating and storage space, or reliability of this one. Nothing is even in the ball park! Hundreds of thousands of brands and models have been built and sent to the crusher while this one keeps on going!   https://postimg.cc/Z9XRrCSg   I've got a whole fleet of cars, motorcycles, and a truck close to this age for summer and winter. No one could pay me enough to buy anything built this century. I have zero use for any it.

      Since I'm the one who has to fix them when they break, I'll take vehicles over 30 years old all day, EVERY day, over ANY modern crap. Have you attempted any repairs on anything built after 2006? It's a friggin nightmare, and gets worse the newer the model year.    If I had the will or desire, I can make any car of any age outside of a Model T (I don't have THAT much will ...) just as powerful, comfortable, and have all the tech the new stuff does, and get pretty close in mileage, too. I prefer SIMPLICITY. The less the vehicle has, the less to fix WHEN it breaks, not IF.   I'm glad you snot-nosed punks don't like them. More for us, plus that keeps the prices from climbing more than they already have.👍
