Hello, 

 

I have a 21 with the 3.0 Duramax and so far am very happy with it other than the occasional crank no start that others have experienced. I've found very little info on if they're able to be def deleted and tuned or if anyone has done so with luck? I'm only at ~16500 miles and wouldn't want to do anything prior to my warranty being expired but assuming it's a reliable motor and be a long term vehicle, I would consider it with the hopes it would improve efficiency, performance, and sound better. 

 

I'm new to the diesel world and know very little about this so more of a curiosity question than anything. Any info or insight is much appreciated.

Take it for the programming update to get the crank timeout / no start corrected.

There are still no real tuning solutions for these engines and since this is the case, no way to do a def delete yet. You've got a long way to go before your warranty is up!

I was under the impression I had a 3 year/36K bumper to bumper warranty and that the 5 year/60K was optional. Am I wrong or is there a specific powertrain warranty I'm not aware of? If so great, but on Chevy's website I only see this and looks like it only applies to 2020 models.

If you’re looking for something that will change the way your truck responds I would look into getting a banks pedal

monster. I just installed one on my 3.0 and I really enjoy the results. Install was about 10 minutes there are plenty of YouTube videos on it. This module is not a tuner that gives you more performance but it does change the throttle response and you can adjust it to your specs. I found that the Duramax lacks a bit on instant power that I would like and this module takes care of that. Banks also claims the module doesn’t leave a foot print so you can disconnect it when you have to take a trip to the dealer for any repairs. Banks is also developing an actual tuner for our 3.0’s and you will be able to stack both mods without any problems. Hope this helps GL

This does not correct the issue. I took mine in this past Tuesday (1/25/22) for PIP5823B Intermittent Extended Crank No Start. Then 4 days later it did it again. Those of you have have had the shim installed, did that correct the issue? Or has anyone else had this update performed and still had the issue?

Going by what my dealer told me, they have to check the integrity of the wiring harness and would need to keep the truck for 2 days to accomplish this task. I don't know how factual this is, but that is what I was told by the service advisor. I will be trading my truck in for a refreshed 22 diesel, so I will let them accomplish that task once I receive my new truck.

They don't have to spend two days checking the harness before applying the update. 

(maybe I misunderstood what you're telling us)

 

Mine was in for something else today and the did the update while it was there.

Less than an hour total. 

 

Perhaps extended diagnosis if it it does crank/no-start after the update?  

If one is still doing and has already had the update, then that could require more diagnostics. 

 

Most have reported programming update corrected the problem. 

 

 

Otoh, it wouldn't be the first time a service adviser was wrong about what the techs do / need to do.

I order a 3.0 duramax in 2019 and i was one of the first to get my hands on and i drive 100k a year no problem, right now i have 156k and had no issue whats so ever the whole time, except now its in the shop and waiting for timing chain and belt parts, crank chain was streatched about an inch" dealer says its from using old oil, who in the crazy world would use old oil? I ask the dealer, i told them to pull up my history purchases and look for oil change records, all done by the same dealer, BANG back fire no longer was the issue of old oil, so warrenty is fixing the whole nine yards,

Any vehicle I purchased new goes to the dealership for maintenance. They can’t pull out the excuse book it’s all on the record. You don’t have to do everything they try to up sell, just get familiar with the manual. Some people say they have a kid doing oil changes. Well he does more oil changes in one week than most people do in a lifetime. I’ve been using the same couple of dealerships for 30 years. Sometimes spending a few more dollars, it’s paid off in the long run.

      2015 Sierra Denali L86 cyl 5 misfire at idle

      By Gkistler · Posted

      Hi friends - first time poster. I have a 2015 sierra Denali with 150k miles, I’m the second owner and she’s given me 75k of great service. I run a pulse AFM disable device. Starting Thursday when I exited the freeway after a short local ride it started idling rough, with an obvious misfire shake and was down on low end power.  I got it home and hooked it up to my scannner and found no codes but in live data a pretty bad misfire on cylinder 5. I replaced the coil, plug and wire with all new OE replacements (Delphi gn10165 coil, acdelco wire and 41-168 plug). It’s still behaving the same way after firing the parts cannon at it.   I know cyl 5 is a non AFM cylinder so I am not thinking this is AFM related but I’m kinda at a loss. injector? Bent pushrod? It’s running too well over 1k rpm to suggest those IMO. Has anyone chase this issue before and what was it? Any suggestions?

      Pulsating Noise 4Cyl Mode

      By zibzer2 · Posted

      2017 Silverado L83 5.3l 6speed transmission Hello, not a new member but havent posted in a while and my old signup info isnt working so had to create a new account. anyways, I have an issue with my truck and hope someone can spread some light on whats happening: -when it goes to 4cyl mode it makes a clunk sound (but not when coasting or going downhill) -when in 4 cyl mode and under load it makes a load pulsating sound (not a tick). -goes away completely when in M5 gear or when plugging in an AFM delete. Im guessing it is one of 2 things but im not convinced of either to be honest. 1. lifter stuck in v8 mode 2. torque converter shudder realistically it doesn't seem like the TC as there is no physical vibration , and it never happens in v8 mode. but maybe? and wouldnt a lifter make a sound whether with load or not? any ideas let me know please. thank you!

      Some Assembly is Required

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Which has made me wonder with the various engine failures of a few brands in the last few years, is it sub par materials such as lifters etc causing failures, or bearing clearances on the crank etc or perhaps bad designing of an engine physically or causing too much load on the components due to the hp/torque they can push out of them. Or is the oil viscosity and additive package of current oils or a lack of oil flow by an oil pump not able to supply sufficient oil at idle or under high load at low rpm. Or is it every item I listed that combined together has pushed the limits so far to the left that there is hardly a margin of safety left and add in some fuel dilution and too long of an OCI and premature engine failure is the result ?.

      He is not saying that an SAE *W20 will have more viscosity than a *W40 due to MORE VII polymers. He is saying that although multiple *W40 may post in the PDS the same or similar 100 C and 150 C viscosities that the blenders choice of modifier TYPE and AMOUNT to get his chosen base to grade will not give identical real world viscosities in shear and at temperature. All will pass the SII test but not all will pass the 100 C HTHS (unpublished value) testing the blender does and relies on to get the required by law "percentage improvement' referenced to his last great work.    Tis the problem with the lie. Once told others are required to support it.

      Parking Brake - Automatic Engagement Questions

      By PunchT37 · Posted

      I have a `25, 1500 that auto sets on incline. Never knew that at first. I have the electronic shifter. Just think if it didn`t do that? Unlike a mechanical shift that you can muscle out of park, how would you get this thing out? That would be a problem.   What I found out later is, I don`t have to push the button to release. Just put it in gear.   Setting parameters? Don`t know if it`s possible.
