I wonder how much diagnostic time they’ll ask for. Probably 2 hours since it is driveability.

I was trying to figure out what's similar about the states covered by the service bulletin. The best I could come up with is that they all follow California emissions standards. I wonder if something about the vehicles is actually different, or if the standards just require the repair to be covered in those states.
That was my guess as well. I don’t think there’s a difference at all in the vehicles. Those states either have stricter emissions laws or better consumer protections is all I could come up with. Hopefully I hear something tomorrow.

Like others have said, check the coil packs.
Does not apply to the P0206 (Injector #6 Open Circuit) DTC.
Is a coil failure a common occurrence on these motors? Not a lot of miles (72.5k) but a fair amount of hours on ours from waiting to pickup kids, etc.
1.5 hours diagnostic. $176/hr.
That is pretty typical.
Update-it needs the #6 fuel injector. $1500 for diagnostics, parts and labor. I’m going to reach out to GM to see if they’ll cover part of it based on the bulletin for states I don’t live in but I’m not expecting much.
Yeah, he said they’ll do it for warranty rate which is $154, so that’ll save me a tank of gas or so.
Manifold R/R plus 1 injector is 3 hrs, diag is 1.5 hr. So you're already 4.5 hr invested at this point; would it make sense to pay them to replace all 8?
I asked about that as that was my thought but opted against it. This thing might be getting traded in in the next few months if these kbb/NADA values are correct. I’m going to see what Carvana would give me for it.
Wait, $1,500 to replace one fuel injector? Just one?
Probably 1 bank? The injectors are about $100/ea and there is $200 in one-time use fuel pipes and gaskets.
I haven’t seen the bill yet but that’s including the diagnostics and 1 injector. The parts were just over $300 and the rest was labor, diagnosis and taxes.

$1500 to replace an injector is robbery, unless it’s a Bugatti.
Welcome to 2021 prices at a repair shop that is not a hole-in-the-wall.

The OE GM direct injectors are expensive (and usually on back order, so he’s lucky they even have them). Then I believe there is a cross over pipe that needs to be replaced in this job (not reusable).
Yup $1,500 is a lot for one injector, but nope, not for these things...welcome to direct injection (GM style). I traded my 2018 Silverado in at 50,000 miles because of random injector misfires and negative fuel trims. I don’t want to deal with stuff on a truck I babied and bought new. Flashing check engine lights, misfires, drive ability problems. Not thanks.
