They’re finally looking into the 6.2

My wife's 2018 Yukon Denali decided to go south on us over Christmas at 106k miles on odometer. Dropped a new Jasper 6.2L in it deleted. Was not going back with a factory engine and couldn't afford the wait of when/if I'd ever get one. Jasper came with 3yr/100k mile warranty. Cost me $10,800 installed, took about a month for engine to come in and then a few days for install/testing at shop. May trade it in a few years but she loves the truck and didn't want to get rid of it since it's paid for.
 

I got a little more detailed info from my dealer Tuesday. I had to take the thing in after an 1100 mile trip with a trailer that the truck kept telling me the whole trip it was not connected. They tested the truck and said it was ok and the issue was my trailer. Funny the trailer works fine on several other non GM trucks. Anywho I asked when would they be ready to test my trucks engine. He said I’d get a letter with a number block on it telling me when to bring it in for the picoscope test they preform. Which essentially says passed or failed. GM is breaking this all down into blocks of vins to keep the invasion of customers coming all at once to the dealerships. He told me so far they’ve tested a few and one failed in a Yukon. So I patiently wait my turn and the letter from the mother ship. Bright side of things the truck did great on the trip except for the connection to trailer issue. MPG pulling 6x10 trailer with a 400cc dual sport and a 1000cc street bike at 70 mph on cruise was 14.6 on over priced premium fuel. Which cost more than diesel now days. I even used 4wd for the first time ever in it. lol I went through a low spot on grass and buried the trailer foot into the ground. Truck spun a rear wheel and I pushed 4 hi and boom it easily pulled it out. No damage to trailer the ground was super saturated from the recent rains. Operator error on my part. I suck at pulling a trailer.

My 21' 1500 out of the blue gave me a similar message when pulling my trailer. Then the trailer brakes locked up while exiting an off ramp. The best I can tell this was when the trailer light control module bit the dust (common issue). After that my trailer lights would be on when ever the 7 was was plugged in (with truck off). I replaced the module and everything has been fine since.
