How hard does this dead horse need beating before we understand that hangnails and the common cold are not AFM related? Before you know it TPMS failures and baldness will be "AFM related".

I would have argued hard with the dealer on this, injectors are part of the engine I think should be covered under the 5yr/60K powertrain warranty. 

The injector issue isnt anything new, been dgoing on since the new DI engines came out. There are 3 different injectors for the DI engines, I just had one replaced on my 2016 Sierra 6.2 that only had 22k miles on it. Took the dealer about a week to figure it out and get the right injector ordered for the truck.

Now that something I didnt know, the injectors are not covered under the power train warranty.  So they are just covered under the bumper to bumper warranty?

That doesn't makes sense to me either. It's part of the engine.......

I am having the same problem with my 2016 it started about 4 months ago with only 47k miles now; after replacing spark plugs, o2 sensors and going crazy... dealer told me I have a bad injector # 7 however the recommend to replace all 8 injectors and while we are at it replace the fuel lines at a "discounted" price of only $1800.  ( it stinks to be asked to pay that much for truck you are still making payments on)

The service adviser pulled all the lame excuses; he even told me I have been putting some bad gas in there, I told him that it was the same gas that goes into the rest of the cars in my household and none of the other cars have any issues. (a Ford and a Honda that are running like champs with more miles)

Gordon and Partners is a law firm that has a office in the same building where I work; they have filed class action law suet in the past against car makers before for problems such as this one... as son as get around to it I will let you all know if we have a case and see if you would like to participate.

Truck had to be towed and diagnosed with bad ignition coil. It was replaced and the dealer ran the codes again and said that there is a problem with the injectors. Don't know whic ones or how many and it was diagnosed during a cold start.  Not under warranty either and recommended either replacing all of one side for $1400 or all 8 for $2000. The truck has 35,000 miles on it! I was looking to see if this has been a problem.  2015 Silverado.

Dealing with same thing right now. Service department says injectors arent covered under powertrain on 1500 but are on 2500. Makes sense:( Mine is 2017 with 6.2. Local shop said it was injector 4 and dealer is showing 2 and 6 via diagnostics  

 

Has anyone just kept driving and not fixed? Has anyone had issues with other injectors going bad after fixing the ones that show misfires in diagnostics? Labor is steep so debating between replacing all vs ones misfiring vs not at all.

We opted to keep driving. Picked it up today after paying almost $700 for ignition coil and then dead battery. We'll see what happens but no check engine light and drives fine right now.

Well, I bit the bullet I guess and going to replace them all. More than I want to spend but 3 cylinders have shown significant misfires so I am afraid if I fix those and not the others I'll be back in the shop before long. 

 

Not real pleased with GM on this. Seems to be a common issue from what I have read.

You have a 2017...are you over the 36,000 miles? I thought they would be covered under the 3/36 but not the 5/60 PTW?? A screen shot of a conversation with my service manager about injectors...he owns a Titan, thus the comment LOL

Unfortunately yes. Light came on first time at 36070 or something. Called the gm dealer and didn't catch anyone as it was friday. Did a bunch of driving over the weekend so was way past 36k by time they checked it. I have been living with it since. I put on lots of miles this fall and am up to 54k. It really isn't effecting anything yet but is an annoyance. Remote start doesn't work obviously and looking at that light on a newer pickup is aggravating:)

Just drove 400 miles with no issues yesterday on my 2015 Silverado 1500 with 70k miles. Turned it on today and engine light was on. Took it by AutoZone to have it read, and it showed 3 error codes dealing with fuel injectors. Running some cleaner through it, along with 93 octane to see if it’ll help. Will call GM and see how much it would be to change them all out. If it’s ridiculous, I’ll do it myself and keep y’all updated with costs, parts, time, steps, etc.

      Missing thrust bearing? And oil selection

      By Black02Silverado · Posted

      Maybe, but it seems he is the only one that has backed up data to prove what he is stating. I think he is doing this more because he enjoys it and wants to get the information out to us. He's got the knowledge and access to the proper equipment and having the funds doesn't hurt.  I would love to do what he is doing and would do it if and when I hit the Powerball.  I'm not a Tribologist by any means but love to learn what I can.   I would bet there would be doubting people out there if a completely independent lab with high quality work and highly respected in the automotive industry, put out information like this.  The world can't be pleased, one just has to take the information that they are given, do more of their own research to find actual lab data to back up what they are trying to figure/find out.  Most don't bother, they just want to believe what they first see.     I don't have the minimax but my 6.2 in my 2019 Silverado with 64k miles shows excellent UOA results with 0w-20 and for my own purposes 5w-20.  Since not much of a change using 5w. I liked the data sheet information on the SS 5w-20 and figured I would give it a try.  Still the same viscosity at 100℃.   In the end we all just do what makes us happy, life is too short to get upset over trivial social media.   On a side note, I do feel GM has dropped the ball and just cares about the bottom dollar and not quality anymore.  "Like a Rock" has been long gone.  Seems "Built Ford Tough" has as well.

      2026 sierra bad brake controller

      By flattop · Posted

      Hello, my 3 month old Sierra Elevation wont recognize a trailer with electric brakes? All the lights work correctly, but no power to the brakes?   This is the factory installed brake controller. If you manually push the knob, the display shows the power % but does not light up like my 2022 silverado.   I have an appointment with the dealer, but was checking to see if anyone else has seen this issue.    Thanks,

      Post your latest oil change.

      Been using SS 0w-20 from new, but wanted to change to the 5w-20 because I liked the data on the data sheet, to me it seems like a little better product. But as you can see, not much difference. This is also with running a mix of 10 gallons E85 to a tank topped with 93. It isn't a flex fuel vehicle so any higher I get a CEL for running lean on both banks. Yes my mileage takes a hit. Instead of 20 mpg I normally get on trips I get 17mpg. This is also using EaO17 filter.  What is amazing is I have the AMSOIL cone filter on it since I have the GM Performance intake installed and that air filter has 44k miles on it.  I just take it out and shop vac it off once a year.  I use the upholstery tool on my shop vac.  Works well.

      Starting a new thread regarding mounting my 2014 OEM wheels to my 2026

      By revmanii · Posted

      So, lot's of googling and reading, and a trial fit found, that indeed they hit the newer fatter caliper. I did some re-testing today, and found just 3/16" worth of washers was enough for the wheel to spin freely. I added 2 more on each, and again it spun freely. Tested lock to lock with the 4 washers, about 5/16" not quite the 3/8" Im considering, but pretty close. No issues. I've been looking at the BORA .375" spacers and using extended lugnuts to get back lost thread due to the spacer. All the ET lugs I've seen are all .33" reach inside the wheel lug holes. For those that don't like spacers or think they're unsafe, I think it depends on what type of spacers you're using and making sure you get good quality hubcentric ones, and if you're using bolt on ones, regular mainenance, checking the spacer lugs. Not wanting or needing that much spread. Looking for the minimum that will let me run these rims and tires.  it does look to stick out a little, but I really want put these on. and use the stock all-terrains in the winter.
