Maybe. 54k miles now. Still liking it.

I think the reflash helped… for the most part. For my truck, it will not start on the second or third try. I have to disconnect and reconnect the battery for whatever to clear so the truck will start. I have a 10mm socket in the glovebox just in case.

Im guessing this is a computer thing. When it was trying to start it said low battery in the info screen. It mentioned something about going into battery saver mode. Thats a new one. I unplugged the negative for a minute, reconnected and the truck fired right up. It did ask me to roll the...

So….. I had the reflash done a while back and just had the extended crank, no start…. Again… tried twice in a row, no go. I unplugged negative battery lead for a minute. Tried again and it fired right up…

The urea should go back in to solution I would guess. unless the def tank is an open system and water is evaporating to cause urea to crystallize out. I hope that wouldnt be the case.

Calcification sounds like they are not using distilled water. IMO

Went to my dealer to pick up a fuel filter today. $77.78. Ah… $28 bucks plus shipping at Rock Auto. Wow. I think the last fuel filter was like $40 at the dealer. Doubled in price from December 2021. Dang inflation.

I think that is just hill descent control. My 2021 has the same button.

How powerful of an exhaust brake should be expected for a 3.0L engine? I’m guessing it should be noticeable but nothing like a 6.6L duramax.

Wow. I wish GM would have spent more time with this engine before updating it. Keep us posted on what GM has to say about it if you take it in.

Didn’t happen to me until 25k. It did it 3 times before I had the reflash.

Hopefully the reflash works for you. It worked for my truck. The engine turns over noticeably longer than before. That’s about it.

Interesting. Another interesting thing I’ve learned… No magnet on the oil drain plug…

As high as $5.39 in central indiana. $5.55 at truck stops.

They all have their problems. The new tundra and waste gate solenoid. Ram and that gawd aweful 8 speed trans not to mention the eco diesel. I also had a ‘14 Silverado with 5.3. After 70k. I burned a quart of oil every 5k. I had computer issues that locked the steering wheel in place while I was...

Maybe the LZ0 is the version that is so efficient it doesn’t need DEF…. Glad they can design a new engine but struggle to optimize their DEF system from tank to “indicator.” Just poking… I am still happy with my LM2.

Sorry to hear some people have had so many issues with their trucks. Best of luck with the ZR2. 6.2 should be a good engine. After this LM2, I don’t plan on ever owning a gas fed truck again. Time will tell. 31k miles I’m still happy.

I had a 2015 Ram Hemi. Went through 3 transmissions. Heaviest towing was 4500lb snowmobile trailer maybe 2000 miles/year. Had both exhaust manifolds replaced, one head, and a pressure sensor in the fuel tank. All in 104k miles.

Ha!! Great pic. And. Nice Truck!!

Couple of YouTube videos and articles about Platinum DEF causing trucks to throw codes. There is another video that discusses a stabilizer in platinum DEF. Not sure what that stabilizer is and what it does to stabilize urea in water.
