Yup, power train covers them. One other cheap attempt you can try is throw a bottle of Chevron Techron fuel treatment in your gas tank. It usually doesn't fix the issue, but in some cases the treatment can clean your injectors enough to not throw any more codes. Worth a shot for a few bucks, but I'd take it to the dealer ASAP to start the warranty process.

My dealer told me they are not cover I have 47k miles and the want $1800

Find a different dealer, mine replaced them under power train warranty.

I just had my check engine light pop up last night. I already have had 1 injector replaced about 1 1/2 ago. The dealer had my truck for 4 days tbey put dye in the coolant to see if it was leaking into a cylinder.

Then they finally after the 3rd day saying it was a bad injector. Now im sure I will have go though the same process again.

I dont know why they wouldnt replace all of them when this happens if they know its a recurring problem. Maybe they need to do a recall?

No the injectors are not covered under the powertrain unfortunately. I don't know why it took them 3 days to find it. They should have been able to just do a Fuel injector balance test and look at the drop rates and tell you if an injector was bad. 

 

The injectors are not hard to replace. I actually made a video on replacing them. Send me a message if you have any questions or need and help.

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.

I got this code this morning and also noticed the hard shifts. Taking it in in a couple days.

This is unreal that this is not under warranty or a recall. 2016 1500 with 87000kms needs fuel injectors replaced??? this is a manufacturer issue not an owner issue nor does it fall under normal wear and tear. Disappointing to say the least. Guess will need to replace ALL the injectors at my cost.

I have a 2017 Silverado 6.2 with 47,000 miles. I am currently having all 8 injectors replaces. After waiting 3 weeks for those, my mechanic is now waiting for new fuel lines. Are new fuel lines required? Or can he just use the old ones?

I also have a 2016 Chevy Silverado LTZ with 41020 miles on it and this morning when i started it up the check engine popped on i have the Tmobile sync device that provides hotspot and also reads codes and it also appears to be code p050d

Ive had my 17 with 50k miles in two times for injectors. The comments Ive read all you can do is run seafoam or injector cleaner thru at regular intervals or oil change time. While it is direct injector so wont help valves. The notion is that it may help the injectors to stay clean and keep them from leaking or sticking. From that video the job looks doable by a competent wrench.

    • That's interesting, I assume that would add to the cost of the oil but also I was forgetting to bring up the issue of the low tension rings allowing more oil past which in turn forces the cats to have more oil additives pass through them that wouldn't otherwise so they are creating that problem and of course its all in the name of fuel economy. Mind you the other issue would be the lack of additives that fight the formation of carbon within the piston ring grooves which turn the engine into an oil burner and with in this GM forums case is your average off the shelf Dexos licensed oil, meanwhile the other off the shelf oil being Valvoline's R&P isn't licensed and the only one that is which is that certain Mobil oil that came out recently ( its not even being marketed in Canada ) and only a fraction of vehicle owners are going to be using it out of all the other oils on the shelf or the quickie lube bay that meet the Dexos spec by way of actual licensing.    Also I suspect that its an easy excuse to pool the non turbo DI engines in with the turbo DI engines and design the oil to not have LSPI issues in the most demanding engines and short change the naturally aspirated DI by not offering a higher concentration of additive package they could handle and still not be at risk of LSPI.    I wonder if Amsoil flipped the switch just lately and did whatever packaging designation at the same time as I wonder what oil formulation I would have bought in May, of course I don't know when it was packaged at the factory vs how long it was in storage at the Edmonton warehouse. I know its been said at least in the past that the big players switch over to a reformulated oil but the packaging has not changed until they make that move as well so there is that cross over time where its a new formulation in a predated formula marked package. 
    • Hmm. A real reason to not just use the odometer to determine OCI?    
    • Sad thing is that this doesn't have to be the case. LSPI can be solved without a reduction in TBN. Swap Ca for Mg.  Cats are not a issue if the OEM can get a ring and valve guide seal even at SN levels of SAPS. Dizzy is purring like a kitten with a bowl of warm milk. 200K of Full SAPS oil and zero detonation issues and nice a clean inside and out. This shouldn't be an issue. It isn't 1920.    Tell ya what AMSOIL SS is excellent at, internal cleanliness. The new formula is even a step up from their already outstanding cleanliness levels. Can't say the OEM offering is quite that clean. There marketing suggest the SS is cleaner.     That is the only defense with at shelf oil. Nothing wrong with them if you ignore the marketing and OEM 'recommended' OCI and use a thimble full of common sense. 😉 You go sir. 
    • I started with a folding cover by BAK PAC on my 2500. It went bad after close to 5 years. Bent and vinyl coming loose. Contacted BAK and they gave me a very good discount on a Revolver. Had it a number of years. Mostly outdoor storage. Some garage storage. Vinyl started to come loose. Still under warranty so they replaced to cover. Sold the 2500, bought the 1500 and got another revolver for it. Had it a couple years now and no issues. I store it indoors. Got a bit of discount when buying it as well. If you are seeing problems, contact BAK or real truck and let them know. Customer service was pretty good. But I think they changed their warranty.
    • I agree, there is no one answer fits all as every rig is different, one may be pulling some little aluminum fishing boat while another is towing a monstrosity that weighs a lot and hopefully the owner if the rig has some prior experience to know what drive mode they should choose.    It also struck me and this is from watching a few of those boat ramp escapades videos in the past, Ford being one of the vehicles that has the auto front axle hubs and sure enough its found out that one hub has crapped out and won't engage and may not have manual hubs to even select on both sides so they are on the boat ramp stuck with no four wheel drive and spinning .... they flat out need a tow to get up the ramp and deal with the vehicles new found issues. That can happen to all brands of pickup, finding out either four wheel drive or 4 low isn't working right at the time its needed it to work as some electronic crap has failed.
