(Fig. 14) Since the Service Information is updated regularly, it\u2019s important to always review the service procedures for a repair in order to confirm the latest procedures are being followed.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-11634\" src=\"https:\/\/techlink.mynetworkcontent.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/F14-procedure-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"740\" height=\"480\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gm-techlink.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/F14-procedure-1.jpg 740w, https:\/\/gm-techlink.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/F14-procedure-1-300x195.jpg 300w, https:\/\/gm-techlink.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/F14-procedure-1-85x55.jpg 85w, https:\/\/gm-techlink.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/F14-procedure-1-200x130.jpg 200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 740px) 100vw, 740px\" \/><strong>Fig. 14<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>As part of an initiative to develop innovative approaches to repairs, GM continuously reviews service procedures to ensure each step provides a safe, effective and efficient repair. The focus of the most recent updates was to reduce the need to remove the engine for procedures that could be completed on vehicle. The new procedures avoid pulling the engine to complete a repair and, in many cases, eliminate the need to evacuate, recover and recharge the air conditioning system. The changes also result in a reduction of the number of mandatory replace bolts and gaskets required to complete the repair.<\/p>\n<p>Some of the major repair operations that were changed based on the revised procedures include:<\/p>\n<p><strong>2015-2016 6.6L Diesel Engine (RPO LML)<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Cylinder Head Replacement Right\/Left<\/li>\n<li>Head Gasket Replacement Right\/Left\/Both<\/li>\n<li>Turbocharger Replacement<\/li>\n<li>Fuel Injection Pump Replacement<\/li>\n<li>Other procedures related to the removal of the above<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>2016-2019 Cruze 1.4L Engine (RPO LE2) and Malibu 1.5L Engine (RPO LFV)<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Piston, Connecting Rod, and Bearing Replacement<\/li>\n<li>Piston and Ring Replacement<\/li>\n<li>Cylinder Head Replacement<\/li>\n<li>Cylinder Head Gasket Replacement<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Check the appropriate Service Information for these updated service procedures.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><em>&#8211; Thanks to Rich Orbain and Steve Bruder<\/em><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The GM Service Information on the 6.6L diesel engine (RPO LML) and 1.4L and 1.5L gasoline engines (RPO LE2, LFV) was recently updated with several new service procedures and labor [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_exactmetrics_skip_tracking":false,"_exactmetrics_sitenote_active":false,"_exactmetrics_sitenote_note":"","_exactmetrics_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-11648","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/gm-techlink.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11648","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/gm-techlink.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/gm-techlink.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gm-techlink.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gm-techlink.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=11648"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/gm-techlink.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11648\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":11661,"href":"https:\/\/gm-techlink.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11648\/revisions\/11661"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/gm-techlink.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=11648"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gm-techlink.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=11648"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gm-techlink.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=11648"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
