GM doing away with auto stop on 6.2 trucks? Why

I have a 2020 Chevy Silverado RST. with 6.2 engine. It has the auto stop when you pull up to a stop sign. I see now you can't get that option on the 2022's. But it is still available on the 5.3 engine. I just wonder if anyone knows why they did away with it on the 6.2. I leave mine off most of the time anyway. But wondering if there was a problem with that feature on the 6.2's?

It was left off of several models due to the chip shortage.  Some versions didn't even have DFM and now there are some without HD Radio.  All due to a shortage of chips.

Yup as mentioned above.  No more heated/cooled seats either for 2022.

My new SLT (build date 10/21) has no backup sensors, side mirror indicators or DFM; but I still have start/stop.

 

GM's gotta do what it has to do in order to sell their vehicles.

GM foolishly shut down their chip making plant and off shored production to Communist China.  Only a fool trusts Communists.  They opened the plant again to make ventilators and are ramping up chip production again.

The chip shortage mainly affects the options on the lower end builds.  There will be some higher end builds with options deleted, but GM is being selective about which models lose options.  The Cadillac lineup isn't loosing near the options that the lower end Silverados are, and there is a very simple reason for it.  💰

no one buys a 6.2 for fuel efficiency anyways, my 21 came with dfm and auto stop, disabled both with pulsar

 

would have rather saved  the money it cost them to put it in lol, i want to know how turbo motors handle that auto stop after a few years when that oil flow stops and the turbo is still wound out, atleast i still got the heated seats and steering wheel

Father has 100k miles on a turbo diesel Audi with auto stop. No issues so far. It is tuned as well but not to disable auto stop just for power.

Picking up my 2022 at4 today. Told me about no auto stop start I was thrilled and because of chip shortage they credit me with a whopping 50$. Jokes on them I’d pay a lot more to never have this

It's twice as funny when you think about it because it would cost 10x as much to have the functionality added compared to the credit they provide for it not being there.

I shut my auto-stop on every time I turn on the truck. I'm willing to get rid of my chip if anyone wants it!!   😂

No kidding, if I had to replace the chip (never would) definitely more then 50 bones, got the truck just a little bit ago, all that power is nice

      2 speed transfer case optional now?

      By newdude · Posted

      This is a 1/2 ton thing ONLY.  All HDs 2020-2026 have the two speed transfer case, with Autotrac as an option.     1/2 tons 2019-2026, regular 4x4s come with a single speed case (no 4LO!), and trucks with Z71 ordered, or all Trail Boss trucks come with the 2 speed case.  2 speed case is also an option on WT, and is also standard on High Country.

      Different requirements for oil filters?

      By newdude · Posted

      2013 5.3 still to this day calls for the PF48 filter.  Which as a 15psi bypass pressure.     There is a TSB, 17-NA-157 that talks about the PF-63 and PF-64 filters which have a higher bypass rating of 22psi.    TSB HERE - temp.xml   "Beginning in 2012, the oil pumps began to regulate main gallery feedback instead of pump out pressure. This means that the oil pump now does not begin to regulate until pressure is built up to the main gallery. This change reduces the amount of time it takes to provide oil to the engine bearing and lifters during extreme cold start conditions.  Main gallery feedback oil pump control systems are present on the following engine families which use Spin-on oil filters: Small Gas Engine (SGE), Large Gas Engine (LGE), High Feature (HFV6) Gen2 and Small Block Gen5 gasoline engines. These engines with the main gallery feedback oil pump control systems are factory built with an ACDelco® oil filters"   It also calls out what engines use those filters.  The gen 4 small blocks were not on that list (LMG, LC9, L9H, L92, L94, L20, L96).  Gen 5 small blocks use the higher pressure filter.          That all said...   Your 7045 Napa filter is the PF63 equivalent, with 22psi bypass.  You are already using the higher bypass pressure filter.  You CAN keep using it, you don't technically have to use it though.

      Do you know WHY the filter relief setting was increased to 22 psig?    When the new system goes into the second stage the pump volume ramps up considerably. It was found that the 15 psi filter bypass setting put the filter in bypass on a warm engine when the second stage was activated. Raising the filter bypass setting forced the filter to do what it designed to do. Filter. Preventing debris from circulating during high load, high rpm operation.    So next question is how did GM find this out? VLOM/lifter failures and a deep dive by Melling Corp.    Last question. Is it required? Look at it like this; a motor may be equipped with a rev limiter. But it only works if the set point in reached. That 22 psig setting only matters if the pressure differential across the filter media exceeds 15 psig during normal warm operation. Second stage kicks in around 3000-3500 rpm.    I can't answer your question because I don't know you and how you use the truck. But I think there is enough information here to let you decide for yourself. 😉

      2020 Trailboss 6.2 replacement

      By newdude · Posted

      Probably not their first rodeo, so it should go as planned most likely.  Typically the service manager or tech doing the swap will put some seat time to shake it down after they get it all put back together.  We usually put 50-100mi before we hand them back so if something happens, its not after you get it.  A coolant leaks, oil leaks, a ground left off or loose, vibration, etc.     The new engines so far have been good?  There's been a couple that have popped out there again (the replacement engine) but most have been okay.
