Dealer called and the truck failed. He didn't know anything about something to drive for the 1+ months vehicle is not available to me. I called GM customer service and someone will be calling in 1-2 business days with an update.

 

Wish me luck. This isn't OK.

Any news?

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

She was all fire & brimstone after the Cobalt ignition switch fiasco... 

Her goal has been clear, maximum profits for the board. She does not care about GM as a company and it's perception among its customers, and this will come back to bite this company well after she has either retired, quit or been replaced. The damage she is doing right now will never be undone and will be permanent imo!

These truck and suv sticker prices are due to them attaching EV losses to them, you all who have bought trucks the last few years are literally subsidizing those who buy EV's. That and the government for many models, and now that the government is out, hopefully for good, I wonder what they are going to do because as you see up above the term FO is becoming more and more prevalent! We are now at 6 figures for upper trim 1500 models which is insanity imo.

I have a '21 Sierra AT4 w/6.2L.  At approx. 55k miles and 5k past previous oil change, low oil light came on.  Took 2 quarts of oil for any to show on dipstick.  After next oil change, low oil light came on after 3,300 miles.  Had it in shop cuz squirrel ate some essential wires.  Complained about low oil issue.  They offered to 'open recall' and perform pico-scope test for L87 propulsion issue.  Test passed.  They changed oil and filter, used 0w40.  

 

Should I expect this to clear the open L87 engine loss of propulsion recall?  If it doesn't clear off my GM account, I'll check with dealer early next week.

 

They also completed a recall for ECM software update.  Wasn't aware of that recall.

You should get the 10 year 150k mile warranty.

Even if he gets that warranty, I'm pretty sure GM will consider the oil consumption a completely separate issue so they don't have to warranty it under that rod bearings/crankshaft warranty.

Yes, that will clear the loss of propulsion recall.

Not worried about oil burn long-term other than being annoying.  Seems a common problem.  Was helpful in getting pico-scope test performed.  Hoping now it frees the recall so easier to sell.  I'm ready to move on to something else.

They way I see it if it passes how long before it does fail... I sold my 21, did not want to worry when and were I would be when it did fail as I used it for long distance trips pulling a car trailer to shows. Worst part was the loss in value!

      The engine was done as part of the 6.2 recall?   You'd have to see if your VIN also has the 6.2 engine special coverage on it.  Coverage number is N252494003.  If you have this, your engine is covered under this and NOT the GM replacement part engine warranty which is 3yr/100k from the date of install.  The 3yr/100k mi warranty is in effect for non warranty purchases.     This is not any different if it was replaced under warranty without a recall or special coverage.  So if you had a 5.3 and it popped at 3 years in at 50,000mi during the 5yr/60k powertrain, the replacement engine would not get the 3yr/100k, and instead gets the remainder of the 5yr/60k as coverage.     So N252494003 gives 10 years or 150,000mi of coverage, which ever comes first, starting at the vehicle in service date.  So if your in service date is 01/01/2022, N252494003 gives you special coverage of the engine until 01/01/2032 or 150,000mi, whichever comes first.  So if your start date was 01/01/2022, you'd have left 5 years and 4 months (lets round to august 1st), or 62,000mi left of coverage.   So you need to know your in service date to know how much coverage is left.

      Injector update

      By CamGTP · Posted

      Okiee dokie there bud, way to take things to the extreme.   I guess you missed the whole point and take things way to serious. I installed different EV6 style injectors that just so happen to be larger in my car running the same LQ4 engine and with a better spray pattern than the stock style injectors and I noticed no difference in the idle quality. Kinda was my round about way of saying that even if you put the same size but better style injectors in your truck, you will likely see the same thing.    I'm sure you're great to have conversations with in person if that's how you act through a keyboard. One little things sets you off and now I guess my dick is all up in your face.

      I can't believe that could possibly be the case. It should be 36mo/100k miles from installation. Then again, it also seems like since a dealership installed it, it'd all be in the system and you wouldn't need to worry about registering, either. Shows you what I know. 😄 Hope this one outlives the warranty!

      I haven't seen inventory recovery from COVID.    In the few random times I 'build my own' truck or SUV, no one has the exact one I want.   GM has been working to lower incentives too for a long time.    A $500 incentive isn't getting me off the couch to go truck shopping.
