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.

      summer road trips in the 2026 2500HD

      that is pretty awesome MPG there!  I think so far one observation is these trucks do way better on MPG under 65mph vs 70+ and they really suffer at 75+   I noticed on the stretches into NE on 76 and 80 which is posted 75MPH and I was doing 82 I was getting more like 13.

      Bent valve in 2025 GMC Canyon Denali - Requires engine swap at 14K miles

      No ETA is available for that engine at the moment in the GM system.   I would start at the dealer.  Try and talk to the parts manager or service manager and see if they can start a CX Connect case and get an ETA from GM on when engines may be available.  If they just check Parts Workbench and say "no eta", they aren't trying hard enough.  They need to do a CX Connect and chat with DPAC to find the ETA.

      MPG at 600 miles

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      I would have to read back to get a better picture in my mind of some of the other comments and what they were using for a driving scenario they based the fuel mileage off of. That is why the fuel mileage conversation is extremely difficult to make fair comparisons from. If I was to be living in town and only driving around town, light to light and some longer stretches that doesn't have a light every block, and the usual stop at a grocery store and the bank and so on and so forth, my fuel mileage even during the summer time would be so bad with my truck I don't even want to know how bad it would be !. Then add in winter time and idling to warm it up to clear the windows and driving through snowy streets etc, large heavy trucks with gas engines have NEVER been worth crap for fuel mileage and why some little pot licker of a car with wheelbarrow tires and a 1300 cc four cylinder non turbo engine was the ticket to using a mere fraction of the fuel over a full size pickup.    By the way my truck has the 34" tires as its a HC but not the BFG KO3 tires ( that was an option for my truck but the sales guy couldn't figure out what the tires actually were so that never got on the order until it was too late to change the truck order ). So what fuel mileage your getting actually sounds good for "town driving" and with my truck when I go to town the fuel mileage keeps increasing as I get closer to town because it takes quite a while to get the driveline oils warmed up ( and why it always shows better fuel mileage on the return trip from town because its already warmed up ) but once I am in town that fuel mileage average just keeps dropping the more I mess around town and then has to recover back to something reasonable again by the time I get home for an over all average.    I'd be curious what your sticker says for the factory weight of your truck, mine is close around that 7700 lb due to the options it has. But anyway the long and short is, vehicle weight, higher rolling resistance heavy tires and a hefty driveline and a relatively large gas engine make for crap fuel mileage in stop and go scenarios, all one can do is drive it easy off the line at each stop and as my dad had said over the years, drive like a raw egg is under your foot and that's the best one can do. Years back with a carbed engine and if the carb was getting a bit out of tune etc as would the ignition system, the fuel mileage on pickups with larger engines was just awful compared to what your getting. We pay the fuel price penalty for driving HD trucks over some little vehicle, that is the reality.
