    Extended crank but no start issue

    Yes, mine seems fixed also. But I would love to know what was updated to create the fix, much more difficult now as I no longer work for a GM dealer. If anyone knows what the re-flash addressed please share it. Thanks, rbdjr

    Engine Oil Analisis results?

    My concern with the high iron count is this was 3rd oil change in 9000 miles, (yes overkill for sure)the first change at 1000 miles used a DELCO UPF66R Gold filter and 7 quarts GM Dexos D 0w-20 oil. 2nd change at 5000 miles, used DELCO UPF66R Gold oil filter and 7 quarts GM DEXOS D 0W-20. 3rd...

    General Observation..

    All GM engines since the 4.2 have been built on the platform of 150,000 miles min, that has not been the case though. I agree the 4.2 good engine as long as you kept the oil changed, as with most, the 4.2 downfall was the MPG, and the reason it was dropped from the lineup

    Mobil 1 oil

    I think Amsoil meets all GM specs for Dexos D, But they won't pay GM licensing fee. But it does meet all the required specs.

    Extended crank but no start issue

    Nice, have you monitored fuel milage since any changes? Other than the 1 second longer crank time on startup, I have not noticed any other changes as of yet? But now with winter months ahead, I do expect a bit lower mileage because of winterized fuel and me warming up the truck for a bit.

    OIL Analysis

    I bought 2 kits, 1 for the DexosD oil and another kit for the Amsoil oil, gonna do both to see if any difference from one to the other both will be approx 5,000 intervals on change.

    OIL Analysis

    Nice! now I wish I understood more about the topics and numbers, Did you have to tell them what kinda oil? I purchased through Amsoil, just wonder if they could determine which oil is which? Since I bought the kit at Amsoil I don't want to tell them what brand oil it is? wonder if I can leave...

    Extended crank but no start issue

    Ok had the reflash completed on my truck on Friday/Yesterday 11/5/21 (8600miles.) time will tell? What I have noticed already is the normal crank time. Before the reflash my truck would start instantly with almost no crank time/revolutions and would be running in a blink of the eye, except for...

    I have my fingers crossed and make much more sense now than a shim-in sensor, something at times is a corruption signal. We will see? time will tell, I need to schedule my truck to have reflashed, I have encountered the Crank No Start about 1 time every thousand miles, 7700 miles on my truck...
