That's false advertising if I have ever seen it! Between engines spinning bearings and kicking rods out the block to transmissions that can't even make it out of warranty, GM should be ashamed of themselves.

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 that is wired to be used with the Pico.  This is for recall N252494000 which is still in "incomplete/remedy not available" status.  

 

Trucks with N252494001 are still the verify P0016 is not set, if not, switch the truck to 0w40.

 

N252494002 has been appearing as "open" on some VINs.  This one is the put an engine in it recall #.  The one we have that is currently already getting an engine actually has this recall as open status now so GM knew by VIN that either the original or the replacement engine are/were suspect and therefore it was given the 002 recall version and to put an engine in it.  

Thank you for posting these upates. I, for one, really appreciate you keeping us in the loop.

Do we really believe this has been fixed for the 25 model years? Let’s say your dealer wanted to do you right and traded you into a 25. Would you have concerns?

Don't see why not 🤷‍♂️

 

GM knows the window for the problems, March 1, 2021 to May 31, 2024.  Post May 31st 2024 they had the improved production in place for whatever concerns were going on.  Is it possible that one bad one could sneak out here or there?  Sure, can with any of the engines they have, but I'd imagine if one popped up that GM would nip any issues in the bud quickly after this whole fiasco.

So my engine build date is 21 Feb 26 ... Truck build date 03/21 and it is on the list.

Is the recall for Engine build date or Truck build date? My build date was 6 days after yours on 3/27.

Sorry to hear. That’s the next thing. Lots of opportunities for them to screw things up during such an invasive repair. I could never get dealers to do the simple things correctly let alone something like this. They completely destroyed multiple pieces of the interior on my Silverado fixing the rear window leak twice. And then the Ram “wing” of the same dealership installed a shock backwards on my other truck and destroyed that. $1200 repair they had to eat at least. 😂

I'd trade in a heartbeat! My local dealer has a 25 that's an exact duplicate to mine and I would not hesitate if they offered me a real good deal

I believe it is the engine build date. There is a sticker on the back of the left side engine cylinder head with the date code. The engine build date will precede the truck build date but not by much, natch. A few days, maybe a week.

Does it matter in terms of the recall?

My truck is on the recall list by the vin # and the engine built date is Feb. 21.

Per the NHTSA 25V-274 (N252494000) document....

 

"GM’s updated field data analysis identified a build period from March 1, 2021, to May 31, 2024..."

      Cam chain tensioner question

      By B14Sierra · Posted

      So I'm in the middle of a DOD AFM delete on my 6.2 L86 Sierra. I had a pick holding the tensioner but after I got the Cam phaser gear off I was cleaning off all the rtv and apparently I didn't have the pick seated far enough in. I bumped it and the tensioner sprang forward.  I think everything is good but I want a second opinion. The top of the tensioner is just a looped piece of plastic that rides in that channel right? There is no spring or anything is there? I got the gear and chain back on and it seems tight and everything looks right. I'm hoping nothing fell out.

      No low range 4 x 4

      My 2015 1500 LTZ Silverado suddenly won't go into 4 x 4 low. It will go into 4 x 4 high.

      Transmission Woes :-(

      By asilverblazer · Posted

      Yep, just a quick reference point.    My main point being I’d do a thousand other things before I’d pay 10k for a transmission.    Speaking in ignorance cause I don’t look at these trucks, what is it worth? 20k?

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

      By asilverblazer · Posted

      I think users are going to want to pick their monitored parameters, which parameters they want to see first.    It should probably start with baseline at a minimum and adjust to learned, but be able to overlay baseline for comparison.   A simple severity level would be able to determine what type of alerting is appropriate or user selectable.    Why not use the OBD port though?   I think a phone connection would be a good idea, push notifications type deal.   Number 1 issue is having data is useless if you don’t know what the data should be under normal conditions.

      summer road trips in the 2026 2500HD

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      I thought I would use your thread and add to it as I just did my first longer drive with my truck in the last couple of days. I drove from the Grande Prairie area of Alberta down to Edmonton and most of where I drove in the city was the ring road so fairly free flowing but a bit of stop and go as well in the city. Stayed the night and returned home and not too many stops along the way each way but every restart and certainly every cold start sets it back for fuel mileage. Why I say that is I see some people will cherry pick a fuel mileage leg after the vehicle had been warmed up driveline wise before hand and its a forgiving ( easy rolling drive leg for example ) and call that their fuel mileage which can give a false perception of reality. I was not heavily loaded at all but never the less the flip bak cover, rubber bed mat, various tools etc and extra jerry cans of fuel all way up to a few hundred pounds of dead weight so its not an empty truck. The cold inflation tire pressures are set more near the freezing point so once they are warmed up driving I was showing 45 front and over 40 rear and realize high inflation pressures would help a little in fuel mileage but certainly not the ride on our crap sections of highway. The weather was good so was not raining as that can really drag mileage down, in fact I had a bit of a tail wind on average driving home. Most people on here would never have driven on that freeway to visualize it but its got a fair bit of rolling type of landscape with numerous river valleys. For the most part I had it on cruise set to 62 although kicking it off if I caught it in time before it started down shifting and self braking going down the grades. Most of the more substantial grades its shifting into 7th I believe as 8th just doesn't have it. Total distance round trip was 643 miles and my overall average and I did refuel three times in all, figured out to 17.65 miles per US gallon. My best fuel mileage section refuel within all of this figured out to 18.46 and these are all hand calculated figures. I find if anything that the trucks computer can be over optimistic, sometimes its pretty close but other times its stretching it. On paper persay in theory the truck would have just about made it on fumes for that whole drive without refueling once.    Which made me think of the topic thread of the wonder if these trucks could do 20 mpg and that is a good question, certainly would have to be on an easy going flat highway, no head wind, the right temperature, not packing around a bunch of dead weight and puttering along even slower than I was I would suspect and going steady and not stopping to smell the flowers or take a piss !. It probably is possible but not without effort to attain that with the wind resistance and weight of these trucks. Of course on my drive most people are passing me if they have the power as per loaded highway tractors, never mind a lot of speedy vehicles but the speed limit is 68 and most are at or well over that.
