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.

      OCI, not when but why?

      What’s missing in all this is patience and investment in the future. Buy a 170K starter home. Ten years later sell it invest in a more expensive home. Eventually you’ll have a 600K home and pay starter home payments. Buy a starter car. Maintain it well. Save the payments after it’s payed for then buy an expensive car if you desire. Buy a tumbler make your own coffee, pack your lunch. Cook your own dinner. Most importantly take care of your car.

      People mislead themselves. Statistics are highly useful indicators.   Here's the tie-in to this thread. If an oil sample tests shows a wear indicator of 7 using cheaper ACDelco oil, and a wear indicator of 2 (lower = less wear) using a particular brand of Mobil oil, and wear has a linear relationship with engine lifespan, anyone could assume that Mobil is reducing wear by more than 50% (let's just say a 200% reduction for you red state people trying hard to do math) which leads to increasing engine life by 2x. Perhaps, in a vacuum, by itself, when dreamed by AI.   Yeah?! That's what the statistic is saying, isn't it?   No, it isn't. It didn't come out and say engine life is doubled. That's a very bad assumption, and a case of severe myopia by assuming something potentially untrue about the only data point in focus.   Average cost of a new car is 50k. You bet it is.   The median cost of a new car is more like 35k. Expensive cars are skewing the perception that "average" now means a $50k price of entry for a very average automobile. And that's not true. People who don't understand statistics twist the living heck out of them to mean all sorts of things they don't actually mean.   "Average" new car payment is $1000/month. Yep, it is. And in that number are all the $35k new car buyers who bring significant equity, and the $25k new car buyers who finance the car for a month just to get a rebate, and then pay it off. Know what isn't in that number? All the payments made by people who don't finance a car.   Picking one's own data point (don't have a car payment, never paid $50k for a new vehicle, my house cost $170k, I afforded a middle class lifestyle on $4.50/hr) is just a data point. Just like earning $25/hr in an area where the median home price is almost $1 Million is a data point. In fact, it's a lot of data points given that 80% of the US population lives in/around major cities. They're not idiots; the vast majority of them do it to make a living because that's where the big money is.   The highs have become higher, lows have become lower, and how your personal mileage varies is not truth for an entire country. At the same time you can't NOT acknowledge the data. While it doesn't paint YOUR personal picture, it certainly tints the reality that you also live in, as does your single data point.

      Poll: Does your truck have the rear window leak?

      Glad you had success with it. I did as well, but about 5-6 months later it returned. Tried again, same result. This was after the dealer made several attempts and never even got it to slow down.
