Tucker

The truck I drive had a Range V8 plugged in and it lost a lifter @32k. Truck is now at 83k no further problems. The 2016 6.2 is now over 200k miles no problems, had AFM turned off via tuner after warranty expired. The other 2017 with the Range has not had any failures. The other 3 trucks still have the AFM active with zero problems, those trucks are from 90-110k mileage.

As far as the coolant leak. Check the bottom of the coolant reservoir tank. Mine had a hair line crack in the bottom of the tank. Where the hose connects. Liked to never found it. Very slow leak.

We have 5 Silverado's 2016-18 in our farm fleet. The 2016 is a 6.2 it had a AFM collapsed lifter at 38k miles. AFM was turned off via tuner after powertrain warr, ran out. Still running today at 160k miles no further problems. 3- 2017's all 5.3's. One collapsed AFM lifter on the truck I drive @ 32k miles, now at 60k miles no more problems. Other 2 trucks @ 70k & 77k miles no problems. The 2018 @ 90k miles no problems. I use a Range V8 on the truck I drive as well as one other 17. All these trucks are serviced 4k mile intervals with Mobil 1 Dexos oil and AC filters. These trucks all see alot of short trip start stops. But do see some extended hwy. trips from time to time'

Call around to local locksmith's in your area. My local dealer wants $165 for a FOB and $105 to program it. Goggled auto locksmith's in my area. First one I called quoted $60 to program and $65 for the FOB and guaranteed it to work or no charge. I didn't ask about a key didn't need one.

Good eye rav3. You can tell by the amount of threads sticking out below the nut in each pic. And yeah the ball joint isn't properly seated.

Update ?

Try a search on Youtube. I am sure somebody has posted a video on changing out the screen.

Was just looking at the techlink. Someone posted end Jan. still an issue on some of the 2022's with the 2.7. Good idea to give this techlink a lookup.

The link to video that "JimCost2014" posted. And reply by "Spendit" are both excellent starting points. And you can get a new negative battery thru Rockauto or GM Partsdirect,com . One of these 2 should be cheaper than going thru your local dealer.

My 2017 5.3 @ 41k miles will read 20 psi. hot idle especially after interstate driving. Normal city driving hot idle reads maybe just a little higher. Normal driving oil psi. runs much like yours slightly under 40 psi. Been that way for I as long as I can remember.

If you are in Cali. you maybe covered on injectors. I would check with dealer I thought I seen somewhere that in Cali. injectors fell under a special coverage bulletin. 10 years or 150k miles sure can't hurt to ask.

Sounds like my truck did at 33k miles bad AFM lifter. I have done 4k oil changes since new with Mobil 1.

My bet is a lifter. Been there done that unfortunately.

What tuner are you going to use ? Are you going back with a stock cam ?

Well I bought the Range because I expect all 6 gears to work just like I want all 8 cylinders working all the time. I'll spend my money how I want, you spend yours like wise !
