Anyone else with a vmax notice what appears to be a miss while slowly accelerating at cruising speeds? It seems to happen between 1500 and 2000 rpms while cruising in OD. Also seems to be worse when running the AC.

Yep, I have it also. It's real bad when under a load. Pulling a trailer it's really bad.

The engine really surges at that RPM.

I would be curious if there was a service bull. on it. (I know, you can't share it with me, but maybe there is a "re-flash" for It out there)

Mine does that once in a while pretty badly, but it's not a vmax engine. Mine is probably due to an intake gasket leak.

Anybody else have any info. on this issue? GM techs, engineers, parts people, tuners. :D It is the only real gripe I have about my truck right now :lol: . One of the mechanics at the dealership I bought at has a vmax with the same issue and he hasn't figured it out yet either.

Mine too, but change to 93 OCT and see what happens. Mine cleared up, so after a while couple of tanks i went back to 87 and it came back. That is my best guess on it currently.

i thought all 6.0 engines only ran high test fuel?

 

I've run nothing but 87 octane in mine since I got it in June. I had Justin do my tune based on using 87. I know I would get a lot better performance from 91 or 93 but my VMAX runs ok on 87 (for now).

Anyone else with a vmax notice what appears to be a miss while slowly accelerating at cruising speeds or trying to maintain speed on a slight grade? It seems to happen between 1500 and 2000 rpms while cruising in OD. Also seems to be worse when running the AC.

 

 

Just thought I would bring this up again and see if anyone has anything to add from almost a year ago. My truck still has the same problem :) and I have not found a cure.

I don't have the VMAX, but my 6.0 starts misfiring and flashing CEL's while on the highway at about 65 mph and a constant 2600 rpm's. The mechanic from the dealership said it was plugs n wires.

Well I'm glad nobody else has this problem, but It sucks that I'm the one that does have it. Tried the dealership once already for a fix, guess I'll try again.

Stay on them... I would keep bringing it back till your satisfied. I makes me mad when dealers use the phrase "Normal condition" or "Cant reproduce the issue" Just means they didn't look close enough. Not all dealerships do that, but anyone that's had service done has heard one of those phrases. I'm just glad I don't have all these little issues with mine.

 

Only issue I've had in 30,000 miles was the rear-main seal and trans seal. But I heard that was pretty typical of the GMT-900's so I'm not worried about it.

I still have it also. I haven't been to the dealer for anything yet. Although, I should take it in for the heated washer fluid stupid thingy.

:(

I have yet to go back to the dealer for any service either. That's a good thing. I may have to give in though just to get this looked at. I know one of the mechanics there and he has the same truck with same issue and has not figured anything out yet.

      My brother has an Escalade. The warranty has expired so he told his wife to go to the Valvoline quick lube he uses some times. They told her if her car was a 2020 and newer 6.2 engine they wouldn’t touch it. Hers is a 2019, so they did the oil change.

      2026 6.6 L5P oil cooler leaking oil at 4,000 miles

      The oil filter has NOTHING To do with oil leak. GM sources parts from 1,000's of vendors and as with anything mass produced, flaws are unavoidable.    Putting a larger oil filter will do nothing but satisfy emotions. The OEM filter is designed for the engine and perfectly capable of handling the demands on the engine. Oversize oil filter could result in reduced flow and overall lower oil pressure.

      You're better read than that Atlas. 😏   British science fiction writer Arthur C. Clarke formulated three adages that are known as Clarke's three laws, of which the third law – that "any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic" – is the best known and most widely cited.   Stribeck and the pivotable Hersey Number isn't voodoo nor snake oil. That part is physics. It's what marketing and bean counters do with it that is snake oil and voodoo.    Stribeck is the relationship between Hersey and the Coefficient of Friction. Within the Hersey Equation if viscosity and viscosity is 'Dependent' on.......heat.......and.......viscosity index or the temperature to viscosity slope.    Specifically Hersey is the viscosity AT THE TEMPERATURE IN THAT LOCATION FOR THAT SLOPE.   Hydrodynamic lubrication exist when the film thickness in the location is 3X the Ra roughness of the surface. This is irrespective of the hardness of the substrate. To obtain that thickness X viscosity is required for Y velocity at Z load. That's a lot of moving parts. It is also impossible to maintain in an ICE but nearly possible with a turbine under constant load.    What does that mean? Error heavy and operate light. Wear is inevitable but the rate of wear and the milage obtainable are a function of prevailing conditions and HABITS. The only penalty is viscous drag and at fractions so low as to be well worth the effort. Double the life, half the manufacturing carbon foot print. Greed is the only impediment.    The materials generated by SwRI are the RESULT not an estimation or a hypothesis.    Don't delude yourself sir, EV's have as many pitfalls as ICE's. We just don't know what they are yet and it will take longer to sort as MARKETING and GREEDY CEO's have had more time to polish the turd they are selling.

      You can always count on greed to prey on ignorance and stupidity.    Friend bought a 2019 Ford Flex and asked me about using Valvoline R&P 5W30 in it. Told him give the miles on it and the fact it wasn't yet using oil that it was a good plan. He uses a Valvoline quick change shop for his oil service.   First they tell him that isn't the oil the OEM recommends. He told them he didn't care what the OEM thought. Then they floated the, "But it will void your warranty"    His reply was it's a 2019, there is no warranty and informed them their knowledge of the law was lacking.    Then they tell him 'But it will ruin your motor"!.    Mine to ruin he says. Finally they give in and charge him 150% the semi-syn price    Point it the brainwash is so embedded that even the service industry is drunk on their swill. The public is right behind them. Echoing the same lies on every forum and media platform. If the end goal is indeed EV then I'd say that ship is about built.
