and the dealer should be able to adjust it upon request as well, I don't know why they would say it's unrepairable that sounds like a total copout

I suppose it could happen if you bent it or was rough with beyond the norm, I have done mine multiple multiple times on 3 different vehicles (all drive by wire) and never had a problem as many others have. let me ask you this, what the heck do you think the mechanic does when he does it and gets paid handsomely for it????
Our '12 started idling rough and it was the injectors. Ran two tanks of Techron with no change, ran two tanks of Sea Foam with no change. Then ran two tanks of Amsoil P.I. (Performance Enhancer) and it not only smoothed out but the mileage improved. Made a believer out of me for Amsoil P.I. It's about $10 a bottle.
May be ground out through engine mounts. I'm experiencing these same symptoms myself at 34,000 on a 2016 LT

Subject: Rough Idle In Drive
Models: 2015-2016 Cadillac Escalade Models
2014 Chevrolet Silverado 1500
2015-2016 Chevrolet Silverado 1500, Suburban, Tahoe
2014 GMC Sierra 1500

With engines 4.3L, 5.3L, 6.2L RPO L83, L86, LV1, LV3
Condition/Concern
Some customers may comment about a rough idle and/or vibration at idle in Drive.
This condition may be most noticeable following extended driving, after hard acceleration, while idling at a stop in Drive.
May feel like a lopey or lumpy idle, or may be described as a low idle.
This condition will not be present in Park, or Neutral.
(There have been a few cases for rough idle in Reverse.)
Note: There will not be any DTCs with this concern.
Recommendation/Instructions
This concern may be caused by ground out within the one or both engine mounts.
Familiarize yourself with the entire PI before proceeding.
If the rough idle / vibration concern is E1.5 in the horizontal / lateral direction with Pico sensor mounted in seat track as indicated – continue with steps to reduce
the amplitude (mg) of the vibration by adding spacers in key locations to reduce / eliminate ground out within the engine mounts.
Note: The 6.2L engine has a characteristic E1 which can be felt, and may be described as a lopey idle. V8 engine firing frequency produces E4 which will
typically be very low frequency at the seat track. Do not confuse 6.2L E1 characteristic (not caused by mount ground-out), with E1.5 normal idle characteristics
being transmitted into the truck via ground-out thru the engine mounts.

I have the same issue on my 2017 since new (14,000 miles on it). I’m at the dealer right now getting an oil change and brought the issue up. They see it on the sierras as well and there is nothing GM will do to fix it.
I’ve noticed it’s less severe for me when I run premium 93 gas. I need to check out the AMSOIL and report back. It sounds promising. The factory tune appears too low. I also get a little bit of surging when the Yukon is cold and I’m light throttle driving in my neighborhood. Very annoying for a 65k vehicle.
