the description and operation information will help you determine the correct symptom
diagnostic procedure when a malfunction exists. Reviewing the description and operation
information will also help you determine if the condition described to you by the customer is
normal operation. Refer to Symptoms - Engine Mechanical in order to identify the correct
procedure for diagnosing the system and where the procedure is located.
1. Perform the Diagnostic Starting Point - Engine Controls before using the symptom
tables, if applicable.
2. Review the system operations in order to familiarize yourself with the system functions.
Refer to Disassembled Views, Engine Component Description, and Lubrication
Description, and to the Drive Belt System Description.
All diagnosis on a vehicle should follow a logical process. Strategy based diagnostics is a uniform
approach for repairing all systems. The diagnostic flow may always be used in order to resolve a
system problem. The diagnostic flow is the place to start when repairs are necessary. For a
detailed explanation, refer to Strategy Based Diagnosis .
Visual/Physical Inspection
Inspect for aftermarket devices which could affect the operation of the engine.
Inspect the easily accessible or visible system components for obvious damage or conditions
which could cause the symptom.
Check for the correct oil level, proper oil viscosity, and correct filter application.
Verify the exact operating conditions under which the concern exists. Note factors such as
engine RPM, ambient temperature, engine temperature, amount of engine warm-up time,
and other specifics.
Compare the engine sounds, if applicable, to a known good engine and make sure you are
not trying to correct a normal condition.
Intermittent
Test the vehicle under the same conditions that the customer reported in order to verify the system
is operating properly.

Inspection Action
DEFINITION: Excessive white smoke and/or coolant type odor coming from the exhaust
pipe may indicate coolant in the combustion chamber. Low coolant levels, an inoperative
cooling fan, or a faulty thermostat may lead to an "overtemperature" condition which may
cause engine component damage.
Preliminary Inspection Verify that there are no external coolant
leaks. Refer to Loss of Coolant .
Isolate Affected Cylinders Cylinder balance test with scan tool
Cause Correction
DEFINITION: Foamy or discolored oil or an engine oil "overfill" condition may indicate
coolant entering the engine crankcase. Low coolant levels, an inoperative cooling fan, or a
faulty thermostat may lead to an "overtemperature" condition which may cause engine
component damage. Contaminated engine oil and oil filter should be changed.
1. Inspect the oil for excessive foaming or an overfill condition. Oil diluted by coolant
may not properly lubricate the crankshaft bearings and may lead to component
damage. Refer to Lower Engine Noise, Regardless of Engine Speed.
2. Inspect by performing a Cylinder Leak-Down Test. During this test, excessive air
bubbles within the cooling system may indicate a faulty gasket or damaged
component.
3. Inspect by performing a cylinder compression test. Two cylinders "side-by-side" on
the engine block with low compression may indicate a failed cylinder head gasket.

5. Apply shop air pressure to J 35667-A and adjust according to the manufacturers
instructions.
6. Record the cylinder leakage value. Cylinder leakage that exceeds 25 percent is considered
excessive and may require component service. In excessive leakage situations, inspect for
the following conditions:
Air leakage sounds at the intake manifold tube, may indicate a worn, stuck or burnt
intake valve, broken valve spring, incorrect valve lash or damaged valve train
components.
Air leakage sounds at the exhaust system tailpipe may indicate a worn, burnt, or stuck
exhaust valve, broken valve spring, incorrect valve lash or damaged valve train
components.
Air leakage sounds from the crankcase, oil level indicator tube, or oil fill tube may
indicate worn piston rings, a damaged piston, a worn or scored cylinder bore, a
damaged engine block or a damaged cylinder head.
Air bubbles in the cooling system may indicate a damaged cylinder head or gasket.
7. Perform the leakage test on the remaining cylinders and record the values.
The accepted rate of oil consumption, not due to leaks, is the use of 0.946 liter (1 qt) or less
within 379 liters (100 gallons) of fuel used. This rate only applies to vehicles under warranty,
maintained in accordance with the appropriate maintenance schedule, driven at legal speeds and
within design intent of the vehicle.
Oil economy should not be tested until the vehicle has accumulated at least 8000 km (5000 mi)
and the oil has been changed for the first time. During initial engine break-in periods before the
first oil change, oil consumption may exceed 1.9 liters (2 qts) or more per 379 liters (100 gallons)
of fuel used.

Diagnostic Aids
A chirping or squeal noise may be intermittent due to moisture on the drive belts or the
pulleys. It may be necessary to spray a small amount of water on the drive belts in order to
duplicate the customers concern. If spraying water on the drive belt duplicates the symptom,
cleaning the belt pulleys may be the probable solution.
If the noise is intermittent, verify the accessory drive components by varying their loads
making sure they are operated to their maximum capacity. An overcharged A/C system,
power steering system with a pinched hose or wrong fluid, or a generator failing are
suggested items to inspect.
A chirping, squeal or whine noise may be caused by a loose or improper installation of a
body or suspension component. Other items of the vehicle may also cause the noise.
The drive belts will not cause a whine noise.
Test Description
The numbers below refer to the step numbers on the diagnostic table.
2: The noise may not be engine related. This step is to verify that the engine is making the
noise. If the engine is not making the noise do not proceed further with this table.
3: The noise may be an internal engine noise. Removing the drive belts one at a time and
operating the engine for a brief period will verify the noise is related to the drive belt. When
removing the drive belt the water pump may not be operating and the engine may overheat.
Also DTCs may set when the engine is operating with the drive belts removed.
4: Inspect all drive belt pulleys for pilling. Pilling is the small balls or pills or it can be
strings in the drive belt grooves from the accumulation of rubber dust.
6: Misalignment of the pulleys may be caused from improper mounting of the accessory

drive component, incorrect installation of the accessory drive component pulley, or the
pulley bent inward or outward from a previous repair. Test for a misaligned pulley using a
straight edge in the pulley grooves across two or three pulleys. If a misaligned pulley is
found refer to that accessory drive component for the proper installation procedure for that
pulley.
10: Inspecting of the fasteners can eliminate the possibility that a wrong bolt, nut, spacer, or
washer was installed.
12: Inspecting the pulleys for being bent should include inspecting for a dent or other
damage to the pulleys that would prevent the drive belt from not seating properly in all of
the pulley grooves or on the smooth surface of a pulley when the back side of the belt is
used to drive the pulley.
14: This test is to verify that the drive belt tensioner operates properly. If the drive belt
tensioner is not operating properly, proper belt tension may not be achieved to keep the
drive belt from slipping which could cause a squeal noise.
15: This test is to verify that the drive belt is not too long, which would prevent the drive
belt tensioner from working properly. Also if an incorrect length drive belt was installed, it
may not be routed properly and may be turning an accessory drive component in the wrong
direction.
16: Misalignment of the pulleys may be caused from improper mounting of the accessory
drive component, incorrect installation of the accessory drive component pulley, or the
pulley bent inward or outward from a previous repair. Test for a misaligned pulley using a
straight edge in the pulley grooves across two or three pulleys. If a misaligned pulley is
found refer to that accessory drive component for the proper installation procedure for that
pulley.
17: This test is to verify that the pulleys are the correct diameter or width. Using a known
good vehicle compare the pulley sizes.
19: Replacing the drive belt when it is not damaged or there is not excessive pilling will
only be a temporary repair.

Diagnostic Aids
The accessory drive components can have an affect on engine vibration. Vibration from the
engine operating may cause a body component or another part of the vehicle to make rumbling
noise. Vibration can be caused by, but not limited to the air conditioning (A/C) system over
charged, the power steering system restricted or the incorrect fluid, or an extra load on the
generator. To help identify an intermittent or an improper condition, vary the loads on the
accessory drive components.
The drive belt may have a rumbling condition that can not be seen or felt. Sometimes replacing
the drive belt may be the only repair for the symptom.
If replacing the drive belt, completing the diagnostic table, and the noise is only heard when the
drive belts are installed, there might be an accessory drive component with a failure. Varying the
load on the different accessory drive components may aid in identifying which component is
causing the rumbling noise.
Test Description
The numbers below refer to the step numbers on the diagnostic table.
2: This test is to verify that the symptom is present during diagnosing. Other vehicle
components may cause a similar symptom.
3: This test is to verify that one of the drive belts is causing the rumbling noise or vibration.
Rumbling noise may be confused with an internal engine noise due to the similarity in the
description. Remove only one drive belt at a time if the vehicle has multiple drive belts.
When removing the drive belts the water pump may not be operating and the engine may

overheat. Also DTCs may set when the engine is operating with the drive belts removed.
4: Inspecting the drive belts is to ensure that they are not causing the noise. Small cracks
across the ribs of the drive belt will not cause the noise. Belt separation is identified by the
plys of the belt separating and may be seen at the edge of the belt our felt as a lump in the
belt.
5: Small amounts of pilling is normal condition and acceptable. When the pilling is severe
the drive belt does not have a smooth surface for proper operation.
9: Inspecting of the fasteners can eliminate the possibility that the wrong bolt, nut, spacer,
or washer was installed.
11: This step should only be performed if the water pump is driven by the drive belt. Inspect
the water pump shaft for being bent. Also inspect the water pump bearings for smooth
operation and excessive play. Compare the water pump with a known good water pump.
12: Accessory drive component brackets that are bent, cracked, or loose may put extra
strain on that accessory component causing it to vibrate.
A low pitch tapping, knocking, or thumping noise heard at or just above idle.

Diagnostic Aids
If the drive belt repeatedly falls off the drive belt pulleys, this is because of pulley misalignment.
An extra load that is quickly applied on released by an accessory drive component may cause the
drive belt to fall off the pulleys. Verify the accessory drive components operate properly.
If the drive belt is the incorrect length, the drive belt tensioner may not keep the proper tension
on the drive belt.
Excessive wear on a drive belt is usually caused by an incorrect installation or the wrong drive
belt for the application.
Minor misalignment of the drive belt pulleys will not cause excessive wear, but will probably
cause the drive belt to make a noise or to fall off.
Excessive misalignment of the drive belt pulleys will cause excessive wear but may also make the
drive belt fall off.

2: This inspection is to verify the condition of the drive belt. Damage may of occurred to
the drive belt when the drive belt fell off. The drive belt may of been damaged, which
caused the drive belt to fall off. Inspect the belt for cuts, tears, sections of ribs missing, or
damaged belt plys.
4: Misalignment of the pulleys may be caused from improper mounting of the accessory
drive component, incorrect installation of the accessory drive component pulley, or the
pulley bent inward or outward from a previous repair. Test for a misaligned pulley using a
straight edge in the pulley grooves across two or three pulleys. If a misaligned pulley is
found refer to that accessory drive component for the proper installation procedure of that
pulley.
5: Inspecting the pulleys for being bent should include inspecting for a dent or other damage
to the pulleys that would prevent the drive belt from not seating properly in all of the pulley
grooves or on the smooth surface of a pulley when the back side of the belt is used to drive
the pulley.
6: Accessory drive component brackets that are bent or cracked will let the drive belt fall
off.
7: Inspection of the fasteners can eliminate the possibility that a wrong bolt, nut, spacer, or
washer was installed. Missing, loose, or the wrong fasteners may cause pulley misalignment
from the bracket moving under load. Over tightening of the fasteners may cause
misalignment of the accessory component bracket.
13: The inspection is to verify the drive belt is correctly installed on all of the drive belt
pulleys. Wear on the drive belt may be caused by mis-positioning the drive belt by one
groove on a pulley.
14: The installation of a drive belt that is too wide or too narrow will cause wear on the
drive belt. The drive belt ribs should match all of the grooves on all of the pulleys.
15: This inspection is to verify the drive belt is not contacting any parts of the engine or
body while the engine is operating. There should be sufficient clearance when the drive belt
accessory drive components load varies. The drive belt should not come in contact with an
engine or a body component when snapping the throttle.
DEFINITION: The drive belt falls off the pulleys or may not ride correctly on the
pulleys.DEFINITION: Wear at the outside ribs of the drive belt due to an incorrectly
installed drive belt.

2008 ENGINE Engine Mechanical - 6.6L - Cab & Chassis Sierra, Cab & Chassis Silverado, Sierra & Silverado
A single piece cast aluminum upper oil pan contributes to crankshaft and block rigidity while
reducing overall weight.
Crankshaft
The crankshaft is a nitride hardened steel design with five main bearings. Crankshaft thrust is
controlled by the number 5 bearing.
Connecting Rods
The connecting rods are one-piece hot forged steel. The connecting rods and caps are of a
fractured split design to improve durability and reduce internal friction. The connecting rod small
end is tapered cut for reduced weight and improved durability.
Pistons
The pistons are a full-floating design. The piston pins are a slip fit in the bronze bushed
connecting rod and are retained in the piston by round wire retainers. The pistons have a piston
cooling oil channel cast inside of the piston. These cooling oil channels utilize an oil jet located at
the bottom of the cylinder bore to direct oil into the piston channel. There are two compression
rings and one oil control ring. There is a groove machined into the pistons between the first and
second compression rings. This groove reduces compression ring leakage by providing an empty
space for expanding gases, reducing the combustion gas pressure on the second compression ring.
Cylinder Heads
The cylinder heads are made of aluminum for lighter weight and rapid heat dissipation. There are
4 valves per cylinder and the ports are of a high swirl design for improved combustion. The
cylinder head gaskets consist of an all steel laminated construction.
Valve Train
The engine utilizes a mechanical roller lifter for valve operation. The shaft mounted rocker arms
have roller tips for reduced friction and wear. One rocker arm operates two valves simultaneously
through a valve bridge.
Fuel System
The fuel system is of a direct injection fuel rail design. A high pressure pump mounted within the
valley is gear driven directly from the camshaft. This pump provides a continuous and constant
high pressure fuel supply to the fuel rails. The electronically controlled fuel injectors receive their
fuel supply from these fuel rails. The fuel injection control utilizes a pilot injection method to
reduce the combustion noise that is common in traditional diesel engines. The pilot injection

method reduces noise by supplying a small amount of fuel to the cylinder just before the normal
combustion timing.
Turbocharger
The oil cooler lowers engine temperature by cooling the oil with engine coolant. Engine coolant
is directed from the water pump to the oil cooler by a coolant tube. The oil filter attaches directly
to the oil cooler.
Oil Pump
The oil pump is gear driven directly from the crankshaft. The oil pump drive gear is a slip fit to
the crankshaft.
Water Pump
There is a front engine cover and a flywheel housing, both are made of aluminum. The full bell
flywheel housing is cross bolted to the upper oil pan. The flywheel housing also supplies a
crossover passage for engine coolant. The front engine cover houses the gear train and provides a
mounting surface for the cooling fan pulley assembly.

2008 ENGINE Engine Mechanical - 6.6L - Cab & Chassis Sierra, Cab & Chassis Silverado, Sierra & Silverado
Engine lubrication is supplied by a gear type oil pump assembly. The pump is mounted on the
front of the engine block and driven by the oil pump drive gear on the crankshaft. The pump gears
rotate and draw oil from the oil pan sump through a pick-up screen and pipe. The oil is
pressurized as it passes through the pump and is sent through the engine block oil galleries.
Contained within the oil pump assembly is a safety relief valve that eliminates overpressurization.
Pressurized oil is directed through the sub oil gallery (5) to the full flow oil filter where harmful
contaminants are removed. Two bypass valves are incorporated into the oil cooler assembly
which will permit oil flow in the event the filter or the oil cooler become restricted.
The oil is directed to the main oil gallery (4), and from the main oil gallery it flows to the piston
cooling channel left bank (3), and the sub oil gallery (6) on the right bank. The sub oil gallery on
the right bank supplies oil to the right bank piston cooling channel (1). Located in the front cover
at the sub oil gallery (6) is an oil pressure relief valve which regulates oil pressure within
operating range.

Oil flows from the main gallery (4) to the vertical crankshaft/camshaft bearing galleries (2). From
the crankshaft/camshaft bearing galleries (2), the oil flows to both the camshaft bearings and the
crankshaft main bearings. Oil flows from the crankshaft main bearings to the connecting rod big
end.
Oil flows from the crankshaft/camshaft bearing galleries (2) to the number 1 camshaft bearing
(7), where it splash lubricates the fuel injection pump gear.
Oil flows from the crankshaft/camshaft bearing galleries (2) to the number 2 and 5 camshaft
bearings (8).
Oil flows from the crankshaft/camshaft bearing galleries (2) to the number 3 camshaft bearing
(9), where it exits to both cylinder heads and enters the hollow rocker arm shafts. Oil flows
through the rocker arm shafts and rocker arms where it lubricates the upper valve train
components.
On production LB7 engines through 2004, oil flowed through the rocker arms, through the
passage in the valve adjusting screw, and into the hollow pushrods where it was directed to the
valve lifters. Beginning with the 2004.5 engine (LLY), lifters with hardened rollers were used
and did not require hollow pushrods for additional oil flow. However, hollow pushrods were
used in production until approximately the start of the 2006 model year, after which the hole in
the push rod ends was removed. The hollow pushrods can be used for any model year, whereas
the pushrods without the holes in the ends can only be used for 2004.5 model year and newer
production engines.
Oil flows from the crankshaft/camshaft bearing galleries (2) to the number 4 camshaft (10), where
it exits into the turbocharger oil supply line to lubricate the turbocharger. Oil exiting the
turbocharger is routed through the turbocharger oil return pipe and into the flywheel housing.

If the crows foot is kept perpendicular (90 degrees) to the torque wrench during the entire
tightening procedure, then the torque wrench can be set to the listed torque specification.
Refer to Fastener Tightening Specifications .
If the crows foot is positioned straight with the torque wrench, then the torque setting needs
to be corrected to compensate for the increased leverage.
If the crows foot is held at any position other than 90 degrees or inline to the wrench, more
complex corrections of the torque setting are required, and therefore, positioning the crows
foot in this manner is not recommended.
If it is necessary to position a crows foot in line with the torque wrench, the procedure for
adjusting the torque specification is as follows:

1. Measure the distance between the center of the crows foot wrench end to the center of the
square drive hole.
2. Measure the length of the torque wrench from the center of the square drive to the center of
the handle.
3. Divide the measurement of the crows foot length by the torque wrench length. This figure is
the percentage of additional torque, over the torque wrench setting, that will be applied to
the fitting.
4. Subtract the results of step 3 from the number 1. This figure is the percentage of the listed
torque specification that the torque wrench should be set to.
5. Multiply the results of step 4 by the listed torque setting. Refer to Fastener Tightening
Specifications . This figure is the proper setting the torque wrench should be set at when
using a crows foot in line with the torque wrench.
Example
Dirt will cause premature wear of the rebuilt engine. Clean all the components.
Use the proper tools to measure the components when checking for excessive wear.
Components not within the manufacturer's specification must be repaired or replaced.
When the components are reinstalled into an engine, return the components to their original
location, position, and direction.
During assembly, lubricate all the moving parts with clean engine oil (unless otherwise
specified). This will provide initial lubrication when the engine is first started.

3. The cylinder head gasket thickness is determined by the piston head projection from the
cylinder block deck surface. There are cylinder head gaskets available in three different
thicknesses. Follow the procedure below and refer to Cylinder Head Gasket Selection
Specifications to determine what gasket to use for each bank of cylinders.
4. Be sure the piston and cylinder deck are free of carbon, gasket material, or other objects
that may give you an erroneous measurement.
5. Use J 7872 to measure the piston projection across two different points on each piston.
1. Zero the dial indicator to the cylinder deck surface.
2. Place the dial indicator pointer on the piston top. Be sure the pointer is directly above
the piston pin centerline to prevent inaccurate readings from piston rocking.

3. Rotate the engine to roll the piston through Top Dead Center while noting the
maximum reading on the dial indicator.
4. Repeat procedure at the second measuring point on the piston.
6. Calculate the average value of piston projection for each cylinder.
7. Obtain the maximum piston projection value for that bank of cylinders.
8. Determine the gasket grade by the maximum piston projection value using the chart.
9. If the difference between the highest measured piston head projection and the lowest
measured piston projection, within one bank of cylinders, exceeds 0.1 mm (0.0039 in), then
the following items need to be checked.
Connecting rod to piston pin clearance
If any of the above clearances are beyond specifications, then refer to the appropriate section for
repair. If all of the above clearances are within the service limits but the piston projection
variation is over 0.1 mm (0.0039 in), then replace the connecting rod and piston assembly.
