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.

      Intermittent no-code issues on 2022.5+ V8 trucks — what did the shop fail to capture?

      By bluev8 · Posted

      That makes sense, and I think you are describing the real product problem. Capturing data is the easy part. If the owner or technician has to manually dig through five minutes of millisecond-level logs, the product has already failed. The device would be at the ECM harness, not at the OBD port, so I agree that data retrieval and event marking need to be thought through carefully. The way I am thinking about the architecture is: The recorder itself should not depend on a phone, app, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, or cloud connection to capture the event. It should always keep a local rolling buffer and lock the event locally. A button, phone app, or small cabin device would only act as an event marker. If the driver feels a stumble and presses the button 10–30 seconds later, the pre-buffer has to already contain the useful data. For data retrieval, the practical options would be a sealed service USB lead, Wi-Fi download, or a phone/cabin companion device. I would not expect the owner to remove the ECM-side module or work with raw files directly. The cloud or AI side would be for interpretation, not for capturing the event. The truck may have no connection when the issue happens, so the evidence has to be saved locally first. After that, cloud processing could help decode the data, compare it against baselines, and generate a readable report. For the first version, I would keep the automatic triggers conservative and objective: driver event marker bus-off error passive voltage drop / brownout device reset FIFO or queue overflow a normally periodic message disappearing side-to-side communication mismatch, if the topology supports that For “learning normal,” I agree with your point, but I would not want to overclaim it as automatic root-cause diagnosis at first. A realistic first step would be learned baseline comparison for that specific vehicle and operating condition. For example, a value would only be compared against similar conditions: RPM range load / MAP throttle position gear / vehicle speed coolant and oil temperature battery voltage AFM/DFM state, if decoded and validated Then the report could flag things like: this periodic message disappeared compared with its normal timing this value deviated from this vehicle’s normal range under similar conditions the same abnormal pattern repeated after the same type of event the anomaly occurred together with voltage, oil-pressure, misfire, or communication changes But I would still call that “abnormal pattern detected,” not “replace this part,” unless there is enough validated repair data behind it. So the intended product would not be “here is a huge log.” It would need to be an event package: what triggered the capture how much pre/post data was preserved what changed before and after the event whether the device itself reset, overflowed, or saw a bus error selected graphs around the event raw data only as supporting evidence From your perspective, what would make this kind of report useful instead of just another datalog? For example: What are the top 5 parameters or events you would want highlighted first? Would you trust a learned baseline for that specific vehicle, or would you prefer fixed thresholds? How much false-positive flagging would be acceptable before you stopped looking at the reports? What would a one-page report need to show for an independent shop to take it seriously? For misfire, AFM/DFM, oil pressure, or U-code complaints, what would you want the tool to flag automatically?
