Well actually I checked and I have the wrap premier warranty which is a bumper to bumper for 84 months or 125000 so I'm going to warranty it. It's covers all that shit   Sent from my SM-G955U using

P050D is Cold Start Rough Idle. Could be from a bad batch of fuel, or there may be an injector with an issue.

Ok thanks. I just filled up yesterday so that kinda makes sense about the bad fuel. I appreciate your help!

Can I clear it or would the dealership have to do it?

You should let the dealership do it, I am seeing a few cases of this code now that all leads up to injectors unable to provide enough pressure

I got the P050D code last week. I brought the truck in on Tuesday and got it back yesterday (Thursday). The Technician also spotted a leaky radiator so that was changed along with the fuel injector for the #3 cylinder. While the Technician did a great job, I can't say anything remotely like that for the rest of the service department as my experience with them was completely unacceptable.......

 

 

The odd thing about the P050D code with my truck is that when it was seeing this code my transmission was shift up and down with very hard shifts.

My 2014 high country is throwing this code now. and the trans is downshifting really hard. Is it a fuel injector problem? is there any way to tell which injector to swap out?

Hello Cbrown85,

 

We certainly don’t like hearing about this cold start concern. If you’d like, we’d be more than happy to touch base with your preferred dealer in regards to this engine code. If this is something we can do for you, please let us know via private message.

 

Happy Holidays,

I know this is an old thread. My 2016 z71 is throwing this code. Would the injectors be covered under the drive train warranty? I'm at 40 k ?

Im guessing mine is having the same problem.. P050D is popping up 87K miles old. this is frustrating because it was just misfiring on cylinder 4 a month ago with code P0300 (Random/Multiple cylinder misfire) of course took it in to the dealer i bought the truck from had it serviced and now this.. 2 codes P219 and P050D.. all in the same week that it was just serviced for P050D.. took it back to the dealer only for them to of course deny everything as the all do i imagine.. but then said they will look at it for me but it will cost me the diagnostic fee.. why would i pay that again if i already paid for the misfire issue... im loosing fait in GM to be honest. My Dad's old Tundra at 120K miles is still runing properly with all original parts yet mine is becoming a money hole... please let me know if there is any way to fix this myself.

Come On Man... You are not sorry if you don't have a solution. Telling us that you will gladly hand us names of dealers that make your company more money isn't help, it's advertising. This Seems like a Huge ongoing problem. I have seen a lot of people having this same issue and it really sucks. Mine shut off on my this morning and when I started it up the engine light came on and sure enough P050D code. So now I don't know if it is going to catch fire and blow up or what. I put a can of seafoam in it, hoping that would take care of it, but nope. Not yet! So now I am guessing I will have to take it somewhere to get told they will have to do so much more than they really will and hand over my first born. Ugh... For a truck with so little miles there has been far too many problems.

      I am sure that was quite the pass experience and not a great place to experience during the winter when the conditions are not good. I've seen video of that pass and also more detailed information and pictures about the wrecks at that one hair pin turn where tractor trailers have flown right off the cliff and I am sure from all the warning signs that you know the exact curve that was !. After all there is a reason why a song was made about Wolf Creek Pass !. By the way and I didn't realize this either when I bought my truck as its nothing I even thought of that would be programmed into the cruise control and this occurs in either the basic or the more advanced cruise that controls your distance behind a vehicle and that is the brakes going down a hill are being applied as soon as the vehicle goes a certain speed over the set cruise speed. While it certainly does force downshifts in the transmission as you found out with cruise on while going down hill, its also dragging the brakes as needed to keep the speed controlled to what the cruise was set to. For me, I find that unsettling simply because I have no concept then as to how MUCH brake input is being used a and just how hot are those brakes getting and the wear factor as well. I can see that system getting a person into trouble on long mountain grades while pulling a trailer as it would not only be standing on the brakes of the pickup without any driver input, it would also be automatically applying the trailer brakes and it could cause a run away unit by overheating the brakes. Its one thing on a shorter hill and if the driver allows it to do its thing but on a long mountain grade is where things could get so out of hand. As someone a while back on this forum said, they had someone following them at night I believe on a down grade and had the cruise set and the person behind them could see the brake lights being energized all the way down the hill. I figured when I saw your comment that you didn't know and would have no way of knowing that your truck was applying the brakes and that you would and rightfully so assume you only used the brakes when you pressed on the pedal to slow down more than the cruise set speed for the slower sharp curves. So its good knowledge to know this about the newer GM trucks, certainly when doing any descending on long mountain grades. In the future try kicking off the cruise and use the the manual mode on a pass to see what that is like as I know myself when I first experienced it I thought no way can this engine be holding me back this well and tried the same hill in manual mode and sure enough the engine was revving way up and still could not hold the trucks speed down like it could in cruise mode.    Fuel mileage, that is where a really low sleek type of car can do better at higher speeds, certainly it starts sucking fuel too but a tall pickup is pushing massive amounts of air and also allowing a lot more air under it and the tow mirrors as in elephant ears pushing through the wind  as well. Driving like grandpa is about as good as one can do when driving one of these if trying to get the best fuel economy they can. I bet these trucks would get the best mileage they can if driven on a freeway in Florida if not busy traffic at a sedate speed and that sea level elevation without hills, vastly different then Colorado !.
