Hello all, thought I would share some problems I have recently started having with my truck and curious if anyone else has seen or heard of these problems. I have a 2021 1500 custom with the 2.7 and absolutely love this motor and truck but earlier this month I started the truck like normal and pulled about 10ft and felt loss of power and a strong vibration. I got all kinds of codes and lights pop up including CEL, service brake, traction control turned off, serve TCM. I noticed the indication for the shifter was gone and the truck would barely drive. It would slam in reverse when I would try to cycle the shifter. When I turned it off and restarted it acted the same. I noticed I could not get my key to go all the way back when off so it would not come out. It would drive but never shift like it was in limp mode. I pulled up to a safe spot and turned the truck off again. Looked over battery and fuses then tried cranking again and nothing would happen. 2hours later when tow got there, truck cranks right up like normal. Got it towed to dealer and they said it was wiring harness problems and ordered parts. Fast forward 2 weeks they call and say everything is good to go. Pick the truck up and not even 1/4 mile down the road I stop at a red light and bam, all the same lights and codes pop up. Same problems I had before but this time I could hear a slight grinding noise under the truck. Get it towed once again to dealer and truck still would not crank for them. Next day they tell me they have a torque convertor on order. Got the truck in May and only have 11k miles on it and have never had an issue with it until now. Sorry for the long post.

My son in law had a problem that sounds like yours. He had a custom with the 2.7. The dealer never could fix it and finally replaced his truck. He had about 1500 miles on it. They tried several things, including the wiring harness, but never found anything that worked.

Got a list of any of the codes they found?

No I do not have a list of codes at the moment. When I get them I'll post on here. They told me the computer will not talk to the torque convertor module after an attempt to reprogram, so they are waiting for a new module to come in. This will be this dealers second attempt to fix the problem. guess ill get it towed to another if they can not figure out the problem. At what point should I contact GM about it since this is attempt #2 and almost 30 days in the shop.

Dumb question but a valid one.  Any modifications to the truck?  Aftermarket devices like a speedo calibrator?

Just an update. Picked my truck up today. They replaced the TCM and did a reprogram. Drove home and the truck did fine so I'm happy and hopeful no more issues. The code they were getting is U0100 when they diagnosed it.

They didn't find all the chafing areas and repair.  Hope this link helps you get help.  I have a 2022 LTD and I am inspecting that they corrected these contact points myself.

Was just looking at the techlink. Someone posted end Jan. still an issue on some of the 2022's with the 2.7. Good idea to give this techlink a lookup.

I'm at around 2500 miles so far, drove it off the lot 12/31/22. I bought the 2.7L Custom LTD. Now that I've read over this thread, it really makes me thing about the few times that my 2.7 custom shifted really hard into second gear or when shifting into reverse. It's been pretty random. I did also notice this afternoon while rolling in traffic that there was some slight hesitation and jerking for a second or two...

      Lets Talk Z60 Suspension

      By ryan35205 · Posted

      Did the KYBs keep it the same height in the front? I was concerned that pre-assembled assembly would raise it up an inch to standard non-z60 height.. I guess which it would make the rake 1 inch instead of 2 inches.

      OCI, not when but why?

      Thank you for keeping the train on the tracks and for a thoughtful engagement. I enjoyed the reflection on a previous stance to refine and improve your position. I like that inquisitive flexibility about you Atlas.    No the process isn't sterile. Hundreds, perhaps thousands of miles of piping, vessels, pumps. Chevron, the people I worked for, were keenly aware that there is a market for what is known as their "ISOCLEAN" line of lubricants. These are lubricants that are the same as those sold bulk that are further processed by filtration to a level your particular application demands. They will filter and package and provide lab documentation as required. Do not kid yourself. Every gallon of oil that goes into a Chevron Turbine, reciprocating compressor, generator is prefiltered and tested before being charged. Lest wise it was when I was there in the plants I worked in.    There are requirements set by manufactures for the cleanliness of the oils used in their equipment. OTR such as CUMMINS has standards shared with customers on this. Commercial interest selling to Ma and Pa do, but don't share that information. Not even upon request but internally, they do exist.    The GM study sited, (Graph from Machinery Lubrication in previous post) only shows "relative" importance.  I find that fascinating. By constructing the graph like this they admit there are dozens of factors in engine life and via scientific method determined the effect of 'relative cleanliness' on engine life not in miles but in 'FACTORS'. This allows a certain amount of reverse engineering does it not?   They even provided some touchstones. Beta 75 as a reference point. Wonderful stuff!!   Smaller blenders CAN and some DO take the time and effort to do better than a refinery or large bulk blender, like Warren Oil, in improving the "in the can" cleanliness. No I don't have a list but testing could generate that information.    Again, but one of several levers we can pull to improve engine life. The simplest is keeping a clean work station while doing your own oil changes.

      Thank you. I'll give it a try

      I just spent the last 45K miles doing samples every oil change over more than a full year to get the data for seasons and break-in to broke in.    I found the same thing to be true. Something was always teetering on done or had stepped off the cliff long before the OLM was DOA. In fact, I found about a thousand mile difference between summer and winter. That is during the winter half the OLM was STILL too long. Even the severe schedule was to long in the winter.   Now having done the work I can say I was NOT DISAPOINTED. I saw nothing I didn't already know. Nothing my father hadn't already demonstrated in his 2K OCI's pushing dated iron on dated oils and weak filters to mileages well beyond 300K.   Building on his work through use of Lab testing it wasn't hard to find the correlation between 'sight/feel/odor, the things dad relied on, and test results. Use of current viscosity stable chemistries & filters has pushed that marker for my motors out to 3K summer, 4K winter.    So the early lies were 3K on conventional oil and the lie upon the lie was 7K+. turns out to be off by a factor of two.    So... it is true that modern chemistry has doubled the useful oil life. But the base milage that came from was off by double. It's how good lies work. Partly true, sometimes mostly true so that your meter isn't set off. It also means that non-shear-stable shelf oils are only now as good as the old oils were in their best case scenario.    So the question now is how do we improve on that? Thus the question into cleanliness among the other items listed in the post quoted below.    If this bores you, feel free not to participate.

      2027 Chevrolet Silverado: Official Discussion

      By newdude · Posted

      Is it though?  Like LTZ, not a high take rate.  Current Sierra has AT4, Denali and Elevation as its main bread winners.  Each trim accounting for 25-35% of sales for Sierra.  SLT makes up about 10-15% at best.        Like others have predicted here for GMC, it will be:   - Pro (equal to WT Chevy)   - Elevation (replaces SLE and SLT)   - AT4 (and X)   - Denali (and Ultimate).
