My Silverado 5.3 cre cab was at dealer again for air conditioner issue. I picked it up drove 1/4 mile and all hell broke loose every light light up and it went into safe mode very loud knock started. Drove back and the service manager thought a bad wire or plug.turns out its a colapsed lifter. They are only replacing that lifter nothing else. I would think they would at least do the whole side. Any thoughts or suggestions would be great. Thank you

And before you visit the dealer, try driving the same trip in manual mode, M5, as mentioned above to help diagnose if is AFM you are feeling or not . Sent from my Moto Z2 Play using Tapatalk

I had my 2014 Silverado crew cab at dealer again for warranty work. When I drove off I got 1/4 mile and the truck went into safe mode and all the lights went off. I turned around and service manager thought it was a plug wire. Turns out its a colapsed lifter. They will only replace that lifter. Any suggestions please.

Have your dealer read into this document 15-06-01-002E.

 

Condition

Some customers may comment on a malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) on and/or an engine misfire/tick noise.

Technicians may find DTC P0300 set or in history.

Cause

This may be the result of an active fuel management (AFM) lifter that is mechanically collapsed and/or stuck all of the time.

 

This may be the result of internal locking pin damage in the lifter, due to oil aeration.

 

This may be the result of a lifter that has collapsed and is stuck in the lifter bore.

Correction

Note: Inspect the camshaft for damage while the lifters are removed from the engine. If damage is found, replace the camshaft per SI.

 

If SI diagnosis does not isolate the cause of this concern, technicians should inspect for valve operation.

 

If the valve(s) are not moving, replace the valve lifter oil manifold and affected bank of AFM lifters. Refer to Valve Lifter Oil Manifold Replacement and Valve Lifter Replacement in SI.

 

If the lifter has spun the bore, the guides should also be replaced.

RECOMMENDATION/INSTRUCTIONS

There are two approved processes for removing the lifter when stuck in the bore.

 

  1. Use vice grips with a slide hammer.
  2. NOTE:

    Be sure not to pry on the sealing surface of the block.


    Use vice grips with a small pry bar.

Typically one of the above approved processes will remove the lifter that is stuck in the bore. If not, the engine will need to be replaced.

With the lifter removed, be sure to inspect the bore for any damage. Typically the lifter bores will look good with no indication of damage.

Service Manager refused to do anything else besides replace the lifter that collapsed. Would not look up bulletin on the issue. Said the warranty would back any other issues. Not sure what else I can do at this point.

Make a copy of the bulletin as provided in the previous posts and show it to the service manager. Ask why he isn't doing what GM states should be done. Escalate issue to dealership General Manager and then to local GM ombudsman (or whatever they are called today). Seems like a known problem with a well-documented solution. Good luck.

Help new here and...My 2015 Sierra Crew Cab All terrain model has collapsed lifter out of warranty. What do you all recommend? No help from GM complaint line. I’ve only had oil changes done at dealerships and only burn premium gasoline.

Your dealer can perform the work under Goodwill, which may cover part or all of the repair if they value you as a customer. This usually works if you bought the truck at that dealership. Be polite, but firm.

@2017SierraSLT Thank you! Unfortunately we moved across the country and have not established a relationship with this dealership except for a couple oil changes. I’ve called GM complaint and working with them hopefully better news than what this Moran Buick GMC service dept is telling me. $3200 for collapsed lifters and head gaskets.

Don't you still have a warranty?

      Your tire pressure issue may just be batteries, you can reset them using tge Ing switch (I think) and the owner's  manual. ChatGTP will b e a faster, better help than Google.

      The thinking is that starting out in a higher gear makes it easier to avoid applying excessive torque when pressing the gas pedal. In a modern 4wd truck with 4 low and a limited slip or locking rear end, I would use 4 low and try to crawl up the ramp. Sometimes if they are too slippery, you have to back up to let the boat have some bouyancy, and then accelerate briskly to get some momentum to help you pull the through the slippery parts.

      I have a Retrax pro that I first had on my 2020 chevy and transferred it to my current GMC.  It stays in the garage most of the time, so hard for me to judge it's long term weather resistance.  It still works perfectly, been very durable.  It doesn't see oil patch usage, but it's not a mall queen.  It keeps most things mostly dry (small leaks) and the security of it is enough to slow someone down but not keep them out for long.  I would buy one again, it works for me.

      Thanks to the convenience of Amazon, I was able to get a few things done to the truck today.  I installed Carquest Premium oil and air filters with five quarts of Mobil1 High Mileage 10-30 along with a quart of Pennzoil Platinum 5w-30 I already had.  The latch for the flip up center console lid was broken so I replaced it along with the power mirror switch.  I found my push retainer assortment this morning and reattached the plastic under the bumper and it was only held on with a few screws and retainers.  Then I programmed a new remote keyless entry fob so I can lock my dog in the truck when I take her out with me (I've got to keep the air going for her since it's been in the 100s).  Finally, I ordered some LED interior bulbs and replaced the reading lamps.  The front lights are working fine while one of the back lights only works intermittently and the other not at all.   While under the truck, I found the source of at least one of the noises: the sway bar links need replacing.  I ordered a set of Suspension Dudes links with Code Red bushings.  Never heard of them, but they're made in the USA and have decent reviews.  While making yet another Amazon order, I went ahead and added a set of front tow hooks.  I went with red, since that's the color of the sway bar link and bushings and it should look decent enough on a black and chrome truck.  Speaking of which, it doesn't bug me much, but the passenger side mirror has a chrome cap while the driver side doesn't, so eventually I'll make them match one way or another.  Oh, and I ordered a $20 TPMS reset tool.  No idea if it will do anything for my sensors but it was cheap and will work for the Ford Transit Connect as well.     For tradition's sake, I ordered a new oil change wrench.  I kept the Snap-On 9/16"x15mm GM wrench I bought when I was 18 in the 2006 GMC from the time I bought that truck until the truck was lost.  While I was tempted, there's no need to spend $80 for a new SO wrench, or even $50 with shipping for a used one on Ebay.  I just bought a Duratech 15mm extra-long ratcheting wrench to do the job as needed.  It works, and if I like that wrench enough, I'll buy the set.

      Multigate electrical problem

      By Another JR · Posted

      The recall is for exactly this issue - those drain holes combined with the limited environmental capability of the tailgate electronics card inside the tailgate were a problem. The “safety issue” was the potential for the tailgate to spontaneously open, but all kinds of tailgate misbehavior can occur from water contamination of that control card.    There is no real fix yet. The initial recall just disabled the tailgate. Later, when parts became available, they would replace bad parts with new parts of the same bad design. My dealer is going nuts because the few times I let them get their hands on my truck, my tailgate is off due to a slide-in camper installation. They really want to cut my tailgate wires, but I won’t give them the chance. I will let them get their dirty hands on it when a real fix (redesign) is available.  My tailgate, which works just fine with sealant plugging the drain holes, will remain safe in a dry storage crate until then.
