Hi everyone been a while since I posted been a members in the 90s but had to make a new profile anyway I’m having issues with my 2019 2.7 L turbo I have 20,000 miles on it the issue is when it’s below zero outside and you started in the mornings it goes into limp mode I’ve had it in the dealer several times they replace cam sensors cam actuators they even took the wiring harness out and inspected it apparently I’m the only one at this time that’s having this issue and they been  working closely with the GM engineers now other people are starting to have problems got a phone call from my local dealership last week saying now that GM wants my motor so they’re gonna replace my motor with a new one and GM wants my motor to do some tests on it they’re going to stick it in the big freezer hook it up to some monitors and find out what the issue is and then when they figure it out they’re gonna put a service bulletin out my question is has anybody else had this problem needless to say when talking to my salesman I am going to be ordering a 3 L diesel here so in two weeks the truck goes in for a new motor we will see what happens thanks

No they’re going to put a brand new 2.7 L in what I meant is I’m ordering a new diesel pick up because I am not keeping this one since GM won’t buy it back

That's B S.

Tell them they can have the motor if they give you a new truck. Even trade.

You can just swap the gas motor with a diesel?

 

Would be a lot more than just an engine swap. 

 

3.0 is always mated to the 10 speed,

2.7 is never mated to the the 10 speed. 

 

Would also require adding a def tank and fill system.

Emissions and exhaust are different.

Likely different radiator/cooling system. 

etc

 

 

I was wondering if the replacement 2.7L would be the newer high output one....

Pretty sure that's not how warranty works...

GM would have hundreds of thousands of vehicles bought back if warranty worked that way lol

 

Lets see here, $1 billion dollars in used dead trucks or $100 million in warranty work for engines/transmission. Doesn't take a genius to figure out what option they are going to take.

Oh ok, lol. I didn't care for the 2.7l when I test drove one. I got the 5.3, and it has been rock solid this far.

 

Agreed. 2.7l was boring.  Nothing replaces v8's, and if you think otherwise, stop smoking that weed and start realizing its real life

Does the 2.7T have active grill shutters?  If not, I wonder if the dealer or GM even thought about the intercooler freezing up, since the OP mentioned it happens below O degrees F. This has been a problem in the 1.5T found in the newer Equinox/Terrain lineup. The solution there was in some cases an intercooler replacement but in most cases GM just provided those in cold climes a radiator cover to be used during cold weather.

Yes. It has active grill shutters.

I'm thinking about buying the 2019 2.7 leader turbocharged to tow a 2465 Lance almost 30 ft trailer that's only 7 to 8,000 lb when full. Will that be a problem? And I didn't quite understand if you had a gasoline or diesel engine. Diesel is known to be thick in cold conditions. But it sounds like you have a gas so, luckily I live in Texas and we probably won't travel anywhere below zero.

      Trim level custom/pro

      Are you going to take long trips in it?  If so, try out the seats in the various trims. For me the lower trim level seats were not comfortable.

      I have a 2016 that I bought new and still own. I'm around 129,000 miles now. The biggest problem was a transmission failure about 2 years ago around 95000 miles. No warning, just failed while driving down a back road. A reman GM transmission installed and it's been fine ever since. A few other minor problems along the way. I am in no hurry to replace it. It's been paid off long ago and do plan on driving this as long as I can.   I will admit I am leery about all the additional electronics in the newer models and feel that it is just more potential problems. I think there's actually more than I would have wanted in this 2016 but so far so good. I think even if something major like lifter failure happened, it would still be cheaper to at worst, drop a new engine in than buy a new vehicle.

      OCI, not when but why?

      I’ve own several successful businesses. I’ve bought homes and lived in different states. I’d witness several generations buy homes and survive in different economic circumstances. You get awful sippy when people have different experiences than you do. You live a life. I’ve lived a life. It seems our experience has been different. You can point out generalized statistics. Some people learn how to thrive when the odds are against them. Living in different states does make a difference in a persons quality of life and economic outcomes and opportunities. That’s a fact Jack. It’s my truth, my life. Hard work and long hours the right environment made my families life easier. And yes moving to a different state increased the odds of that happening. Stats are generalized. People who thrive don’t make excuses. They beat the odds. Others get mad and point to those statistics. I guess that’s you. My post pointed out how you helped people beat the odds. Somehow your panties got in a wad. Go figure.

      Good question, I don't remember for sure but I believe it was the HD. I will check and get back to you.

      Point of the post sir was that while both wages and cost are rising EVERYWHERE; the cost is rising faster EVERYWHERE than the ability to buy EVERYWHERE. We're not going down the location rabbit hole. I'm aware of what economic migration is. I've lived in four states including Texas.   It's what "Purchasing Power" means.   I'm not telling you what I think. I'm telling what the government, your government, data shows.   It wasn't an argument. It wasn't a suggestion. It was a statement of FACT. You are absolutely entitled to your own opinion. Your not entitled to your own facts. If you and I were, they wouldn't be facts.    fact /făkt/   noun Knowledge or information based on real occurrences. "an account based on fact; a blur of fact and fancy." Something demonstrated to exist or known to have existed. "Genetic engineering is now a fact. That Chaucer was a real person is an undisputed fact." A real occurrence; an event. "had to prove the facts of the case." The American Heritage® Dictionary of the English Language, 5th Edition • More at Wordnik   If you'd like to disagree call your Senator or Representative and let him know his departments are in error. But you and I? We are not doing this.
