New bulletin/Campaign for '21 -"24 Silverado, Sierra etc with 6.2 L87 engine. Has to do with engine sudden stop (blown). Very early. No parts available at this time. NOT ALL 6.2's are involved. Which ones is unknown. Dealers have a list of inventory to inspect and stop sale if inspection fails. No much of an inspection though. Check for P0016. If it is there then stop sale. If not then change oil and filter to 0-40, change oil fill cap to reflect new oil grade, send it. Again NO PARTS at this time.

the real issue here is Metaldyne Performance Group who supplies most of the powdered metal forged and machined rods ASSEMBLED by Tonawanda.  As recent as 2021, JD Norman Industries sued Metaldyne over

Update(s)   GM sent dealers a new special tool to use with an existing tool, the Picoscope (fancy high end oscilloscope plus a whole bunch of other fun stuff it can do).  Its a knock sensor

WTF?

 

 

Corvette/Camaro/Blackwing 6.2 LT1, LT2, LT4 and LT5 use it currently as of 2019.  Nothing new.  0w20 was/is in the pickups solely for fuel economy reasons.

Boy oh boy GM has blinked. Metallurgical issues exacerbated by fuel dilution will only be DELAYED using 0w-40R by Mobil.

Buy enough time until they can get enough engines for full replacement perhaps?  Because I think that's what they might be trying here.  They know they won't be able to meet demand for it so why not stratify it.

It will be interesting to see if they cover past warranty, knowing there was a defect, or is it covered forever if the specific parts fail past warranty?  

 

There is always a better oil option. :)   https://www.amsoil.com/p/amsoil-signature-series-0w-40-100-synthetic-motor-oil-azf/?zo=521390

Most likely. @Black02Silverado has run Amsoil 0w-20 in his 6.2 with do far no issues.

After one year of being in charge of manufacturing this leader is resigning. Related? Maybe.

It would have been cool to be a fly on the wall in all of his meetings and offices to hear what exactly is going on.

Glad you posted that 0000 was for all of us and 0001 was just for dealers. I tried to get answers from two dealerships today and they said they dont know what to tell me lol. They see the recall but say there is no remedy for it. I said It says at the bottom to inspect then change the oil. They stated again it says at the top no remedy so there is nothing they can do.

The defect is the 0W20 oil 😏

Name it...the exact metallurgical ISSUE. Can't be done. Again, attempting to 'say a thing true'. :nonod:. PROOF! and failing motors is proof only that they are failing. REASON...LOGIC....

 

Not the OEM's first rodeo on oil related failures. Anyone remember taking all the Phosphorus/sulphur out of flat tappet cammed motors just before roller cams became standard fair?  And the hideous number of lifter/lobe failures? NOT metallurgical. Motors are not moron proof.

I am due for an oil change, I wonder if I should just swap out the 0W20 I recently bought for the 0W40 and go on from there.

      Tire psi

      By jgaudet99 · Posted

      Thanks for all the help so far!   I did try right from 2026 right down to 2021, and only from 2023 down lets me select the option for tire psi change, but I get the vehicle not supported error!   I'll definitely try it under Chevrolet after work today, and I'll get the sensor number from gm for my truck tire sensors. And I'll let you know if it works for me under Chevrolet!   And if that doesn't work, I'm going to guess that what @Atlas said about maybe I have a different body control module could be true!

      2010 Avalanche 5.3 not running correctly after engine swap.

      By Jsdirt · Posted

      From where I'm sitting this sounds like a compatibility problem. I'm assuming the 2007 was a 900-series truck, and not an 800-series (they were sold side-by-side in dealerships that model year), since it starts and runs.   This is why I HATE post-2006 vehicles. Everything becomes a huge problem when you try to keep the thing running for longer than the manufacturer has designed it to.    I can't remember when Global-A architecture started - either '10 or '11. For your sake, you had better hope it's '11, or you're going to be spending some BIG money to correct this cluster-eff. That's something you need to find out before doing anything else. You may have several computers bricked ... but the fact that it runs tells me you MIGHT be ok here.     EDIT: Just did a quick refresher. You're screwed. This is Global-A. The 2 systems are NOT compatible in the slightest. Once you get the correct engine in there that IS compatible, you're going to need to see how many computers are locked. Absolute NIGHTMARE to straighten out, too. Your buddy might be better off cutting his losses and finding something else.   Welcome to post-2006 vehicle electronics. This is why I quit the industry, and drive nothing built after 1994. This stuff takes all the fun out of wrenching!

      Tire psi

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      True, hard to say what differences there may or may not be between Chev and GM as well as a production year or mid year part change either.    I just found it odd that under the Sierra choice on the Autel that many of the last few years of production year did not include the choice of changing the tire pressure but if that is an Autel thing or a GM thing as to why the choices were not there. Knowing what tpms sensors are on the truck should give some guidance into which choices on the tool even make sense to try as I wouldn't give up just yet with the tool but I guess he will see what if anything he comes up with if he finds out a bit more info and tries a few more things on the Autel.

      Needing this part.

      By davester · Posted

      I'm sure if you went to a junkyard where you go in and pull the part off the truck yourself, not a used part place where they do it for you, you can get that part on it's own.  Depending on if and what else you would be buying, and time of day, they might even just skip over adding it as a item to the bill.
