I see noone is placing their bets, other than 12V who thinks I need a built trans and a re-gear on the truck that ISN'T broken...lol.
So I'll provide an update.
Dealer says module(s) not the issue, replaced whatever modules and no fixey the issue.
Say its NOT the trans and it's engine related. Shcecked spark plugs and injectors and they're grrrreat! (I could have saved them that effort, lol)
Now they're heading into the innards of the engine! :( I'm not actually sad, but I will be if they turn a perfectly good engine into a leaky pos with issues by taking stuff apart that they can't put back together right)
Seems the known 5.3/6.2 lifter issue could be the culprit. Will see!
Entirely different engine, entirely different dealership, ultimately different problem, but same brand on my older truck: once the stealership got into the "diagnostic engine teardown", the truck was never the same. It runs, it pulls more or less like it used to, but it just ain't the same. Not quite at the POS stage, but not the dependable vehicle it was, even if part of that is my gut feel. That stealership lost (since then) two new vehicle purchases and maintenance on 5 vehicles from me.
I hope your problem is soon identified and falls in the dealership's wheelhouse.
