2005 silverado pick up with 77000 miles pulling empty trailer( work) blows hole in #7 piston no warning, make it to nearest dealer takes them 2 weeks to decide engine ruined but not covered by warranty, they said by there ( general motors) paperwork it looks like I have a power adder( chip) that caused the problem( which I did not have). After obtained there ( TSB) information it states that only if there are multiple pistons damaged then there is a power adder, if only one is damaged it is a bad injector, they refused to pay and I could not afford to pay there $16000+ bill to put a new engine so took to independent shop and had another engine put in.
