Not sure if this applies to y'all, but there is now an extended warrantee on the fuel injectors:

Deadline for reimbursement is 8/312020, so get on it!

Thanks for posting. Bulletin only includes the 2016-2017 model years but I've seen quite a few 14-15s in this thread. Are these owners SOL with the warranty on these vehicles?

 

No mention of the 2018 - 2019 (classic) either. I wonder if these got different fuel injectors not to be included also.

Thanks for sharing. Doesn't look like the extended warranty covers the 4.3V6? I have a 2017 that has the p050d code. Tried a scanner that showed misfire on cylinder 5. Hopefully they extend this to the V6.

That notice has lots of gotcha’s

 

2016 - 2017 L83 5.3L and L86 6.2L

 

This special coverage only applies to vehicles in these states: California, Connecticut, Delaware, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Jersey, New York, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Vermont, and Washington.

Just going through this, myself.  I brought home a new to me CPO 2017 Sierra with 27K miles on Wednesday last week.  Thursday morning it threw the CEL with codes P300 and P050D.  It had a rough idle and hard shifts.  I took it back to the GMC dealer I got it from and they are replacing the bank 1 injectors.  All covered by warranty.  If it hadn't been covered, I would have had some words with the dealership as getting 14 trouble free hours out of a truck this young would have been a "problem" for me.  I pick it up tonight.  Keeping my fingers crossed that this issue is behind me.

 

I also got the reduced engine power message.

They'll probably say no, but I'd call them up and ask to have the other bank done as well. Guys have had one bank replaced just to have the issue show up in the other bank. No sense in pulling all that apart just to be one easy step away from doing the other bank. The high pressure fuel lines have to be replaced each time new injectors are put in, so might as well do them all at once and consider it a cost avoidance.

    • Enjoy the new truck, it’s a beauty. I’m glad you’re keeping the OBS, I love those old trucks. 
    • With large equipment or deep mud it is more of a use the higher gear to avoid spinning tires, getting stuck because of spinning tires and doing damage to your machine. The idea is if you run out of torque before you spin tires you can still downshift for more torque. If you are just spinning your tires in the lowest available gear you are stuck and things break.   Automatic transmissions, traction control and electronic transfer cases change the calculation a little as you the driver have less control over each piece. 
    • are there any codes? with lots of rust, perhaps disconnect/clean both sides of the connection/examine cable ends (the wires) for corrosion going into the sheath & replace if necessary/reconnect ALL the power AND ground cables between the battery, engine, frame, cab, fuse box and starter charm.li (website) has a no-start diagnostic procedure you can work through to get it working.
    • Its no wonder you've gravitated to the oil types and brands you have in later years after trying certain brands and one being a specialty oil or at least very hard to come by up here and the other would have been a commonly found oil of the era and the vastly different outcomes as a result to using the vehicles in question the same distance for an OCI . It shows what marketing hype can do without actually having the product to back up the claims and that is no different now with the insane claims that are written on the side of a bottle of oil from some of the off the shelf oils.    What has surprised me and I was already finding this out before I bought my truck with the GDI engine, that this newer fancy technology that seemingly would suggest better fuel economy/emissions with this high pressure spray of fuel is not in reality kind at all to the engine or at least the oils life. Yet they insist on claiming long OCI with this technology just like they did with the port or similar type fuel injection systems when in reality its a step back in oil life to have a GDI system.    I think the mistake your making Grumpy is that your not sending your samples to Blackstone and getting the feel good glowing report that you can run it another 1000 or more miles and then send another sample where they say run it yet another 1000 miles and on and on it goes until your sending in something that looks a lot like road tar and then they may suggest you change your oil within the next 1000 miles 😆
    • I am guessing that engines of that design back then had a better ability to be abused and survive longer than a new design engine with the long timing chain and the overhead cams and phasers etc. But I would never guess that an engine could go that far and not fail spectacularly or at least die a slow death.
