I have a Superchips tuner which also has the function to keep my 6.2 in permanent V8 mode. That supposedly will help prevent lifter failure issues. It's when the cylinder is deactivated then suddenly needs to come back to life at 5500 RPM's that is giving these lifters a hard time. Or so I heard.
Update: The dealership called to tell me that after they got everything back together, the catalytic converter was destroyed, due to the dumping of fuel on it and now needing to be replaced so they had to keep the truck longer and order that now, and won’t be till next week. I also argued that they should replace both sides with new lifters, rods, etc, but was denied due to their being told by GM to only do the failed side or they would not approve the warranty costs. I told them I’d pay for the parts to just do the other side since they were already there and there’d be no extra labor cost, but was told it was unnecessary and a waste of my money because from what they have seen, only one side or the other has failed, not both.
Hopefully they use different lifters on those.
Sell! Sell! Sell!
Your powertrain warranty would still cover it
I bought the pulsar Lt tuner to keep it in v8 mode, so I should be good to go now
Yes I also have a catch can. No issues whatsoever. It's quite surprising that the can is about a third of the way full after 3,000 miles on a newer engine. They are worth the money for sure!
What codes did it set? You say it’s running strong but it’s limited to 62mph?
