Hey guys!

 

Just dropped off my truck for an engine knock. (95,xxxkm) it's a warranty claim,

 

I'll let you guys know what they find. i brought it in yesterday and the techs are leaning towards a bottom end noise, since it kinda goes away while underload.

 

i haven't had a lick of trouble with this truck, and it may be getting a heart transplant.

 

 

Cheers

Score if you get a new engine, I hope my transmission and engine go right before warrenty.

 

+1 - better than after the warrenty... which seems to be my luck with Appliances... knock on wood not so much with cars and trucks.

Well, I just got off the phone with the service department and they have notified me that I have a couple rod bearings that are worn. I will know tomorrow how they plan on correcting this action. It's strange that is rod bearings at less then 100,000km.

 

:dunno:

what size engine?

 

 

5.3L with AFM !!

 

 

I would never have guessed! :)

 

 

Now you're going to tell me that AFM GM engines have bottom end issues ALONG with burning oil?? Do you do a daily search for AFM on this forum or......Ya know what, nevermind. :lol:

How can you really pinpoint the problem to rod bearings unless you take the engine apart? They are only guessing at this point.

 

And as for searching for AFM engine problems - I do not and I could not care less because I neither own one nor do I have any intention of ever buying one.

I was asking you, the GM AFM engine expert, that question. You are ALWAYS commenting in threads that have ANYTHING to do with AFM engines so stop acting like you don't pay attention or care. Hell, threads have been closed because of your Anti-AFM banter. You care, all to much you care.

That sentence right there should be a good reason for you NOT to bash these engines and tell people about all the problems you "heard about". I have six Silverado's in my family, all with AFM engines. Not one of them has had any issues.

 

 

How can you ALWAYS be bashing AFM and responding to posts telling people about all kind of problems when you don't own one??? Seems like you care a great deal, what's the story?

Hey guys, i'm not going to be getting the truck back till after the canada thanksgiving weekend. They are not putting in a new short block like i hoped. They said they are sending components out to be machined.

If a bearing has got hot and burnt up, wouldn't you think that the strength of the con rod has been comprimised due to the heat??

The service tech can't tell me much other then it will be fixed right at this moment.

 

do u guys think it is to long of time for them to fix this type of repair or should i be phoned Gm customer care??

 

:lol:

      2026 6.6 L5P oil cooler leaking oil at 4,000 miles

      By Brendan C · Posted

      New to diesel trucks. I happened to find my oil cooler leaking oil externally with only 4,000 miles on the truck. I didn’t realize this was an issue until I started researching it. Dealer is going to replace it under warranty but I’m wondering if there’s anything GM is working on to fix this issue. I’ve heard the oil filter used is the same as they use on their V6 motors and that’s what is causing the problems. Should I switch to a bigger filter or keep using the OEM recommended?

      Seems to be Missing a lot of Updates

      By Vu1can · Posted

      So, GMCustomerService:  Judging by the Update History pictured above, is this truck missing any updates that it actually needs. If it's just for the infotainment system, the radio is working fine and no trouble with SeriusXM. and Android Auto is working fine wirelessly with my phone. Some months ago, an update notice was sent to my truck. I approved the update and it finished saying that the update was successful, but it seems that whatever that update was, it didn't actually get installed - at least not if I'm to go by the Update History shown above.   So, again, are there any updates that this truck really should have? I've checked with my dealer but they're reluctant or commit to anything and if I want them to check, they require a $200.00 fee just to check it out and then I'd have to pay for the actual update(s).    Ignorance is bliss, and if none of the updates goes to fixing any mechanical discrepancies, I'll just leave things as is.

      Electrical Problem - solved

      By CNH-320 · Posted

      Hey everyone, I recently had an issue with my 07 2500HD GMT900. My DRL’s stay on at all times. Right front turn and right mirror turn signal indicator stay on solid at all times. By “at all times” I mean the only way to make them go off is disconnecting the battery. I tore the headlight assemblies out, tried disconnecting the harnesses to eliminate bad wiring at the harness, I unplugged the headlight switch, no change and the mirror turn signal still stayed on. My first thoughts were : Bad bulb and/or socket somewhere, under hood fuse panel bad, bcm bad, tail light or trailer wiring problem, or some random short to power in the harness.  Possibly a bad ground but unlikely. I had a big clue in the fuse panel, it had a burnt smell. I started pulling every fuse that had to do with DRL or right turn/park lamp. Nothing made the right directional turn off but pulling the DRL2 fuse made the DRL’s go out.  After studying wiring diagrams, I found that both problems had that fuse panel in common, the bcm also controls both problems but knowing the fuse panel had a burnt smell I removed and disassembled the fuse panel and found a little corrosion on the printed circuit board.  I ordered a new fuse panel from Amazon for like $260. When it arrived I installed it, and put everything back together, the problem was fixed. I figured the fuse panel needed to be replaced anyway so that was a logical place to start. Hopefully this story helps someone in the future. Regretfully I didn’t scan for codes before I did everything.

      That stinks. I’m sitting on the side of the road right now with the same issue. Never had an issue before taking it in for the ground strap recall. Now I’m outside of warranty and they’ll probably want $200 just to diagnose what they already “fixed”.
