I apologize if I missed this topic. I have searched high and low. I, like many others, had to have my 6.2 replaced after having it die while on the Interstate. Fun. It took a little over two months to get it back from my local dealer. Right away I noticed an issue that was not present previously. At idle and between approx 1200-1500 RPM's (usually only after warming up, but possibly when cold as well) I get something between a shudder and full out battle between the engine and transmission. The same dealer lamed it on poor fuel and said it was an issue with detonation. So the next 5 fill ups were with 91/93 octane fuel (depending on what I could find) and the 91 was always ethanol free. NO IMPROVEMENT. I reset the system every way the internet tells you. It reset, but not what I need to be reset - assuming that's the problem at all. The worst part of this is that I never had this issue previously and they aren't willing to do anything with it except charge more time for diagnostics. Part of me thinks they screwed something up, although I am aware it could be an odd coincidence. I would appreciate any insight or tips beyond the basic things I have found. I have a basic scan tool which verifies that there are no codes. Pretty frustrated. New tires and new engine but she's a driveway queen aside from the times I decide to roll the dice. TIA.

Not the same truck, but I guess a similar problem. Had a pushrod break in my 2016, engine replaced and had so many problems the truck ended up being a buy back from GM. One of the issues I did experience was dying while driving at freeway speeds. I cannot be sure but am confident they did not do the relearn correctly when installing the new engine causing a communication problem between the truck and new engine.

    • This is interesting. My quote tagged here is different from my original quote. After I’m driving them longer. That isn’t me. I don’t talk that way. I definitely wouldn’t express myself that way. Interesting.
    • I have the same running boards on my truck and I do agree they are bulky. I also find myself stepping over them when getting in and out of the truck. Besides providing protection to the rocker panels, they aren't very useful.  I will be replacing them soon with the Amp Powersteps.

    • Thanks newdude!  By the time manual selection is needed, I'm probably too much of a control-freak to depend on the transmission sensing braking to activate automatic downshifting.  I would be anticipating the situation and already be manually downshifting.   This truck replaced a 2004.5 LLY diesel with the Allison 5-speed.  Putting it in T/H made noticeable differences (when the torque converter locked, upshift points, downshift behavior).  On this 2024 gasser with the 10L1000 I haven't been able to detect much, if any, difference.  Ok, I can never tell now when the torque converter locks up.  But I also don't notice differences in shifting.  For downhills, I've probably already manually downshifted by then anyway.  Since it's also more awkward (than the 2004.5) to engage/disengage I don't even bother.  Or maybe it doesn't really matter with just a 3k lb. camper in the bed?   Thanks also for the list of reasons the charging system might select various voltages.  However, what I am seeing doesn't fall into any of those categories.  It very definitely, and very consistently, rises after coasting/braking.  Maybe not immediately, but not very long after coasting/braking.  Very consistently drops voltage when no longer coasting/braking.  It might also be interacting with the camper battery charging (I might disconnect the camper and see if it changes the charging behavior).  I also need to recheck turning on headlights for when I want to force it to charge the camper.   Another JR, in June I converted the camper to LiFePO4.  Since it's not a good idea to try to charge lithiums directly using truck, I installed a Victron Orion XS DC-DC charger (which BTW is AMAZING!!).  Being cheap, I only had to buy that one item (besides the battery, of course) to do the conversion.  The camper OEM 120v battery charger (only 19 years old and works perfectly) and the truck feed the input to the DC-DC charger (not at the same time).  But I didn't want the camper charger feeding back to the truck so I kept the old separator.  I considered replacing the separator with a 30amp diode but that means more work and might add another 1/2 volt drop.  One thing that surprised me was the voltage drop over the long 10awg wire run, so I can only charge smoothly at 8 amps (because the DC-DC charger is completely configurable).  Another reason I don't want an added voltage drop with the diode.  I might also be a little lazy but all this work is being done under the sink with a small cabinet opening.
