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.

      There you go again.  Preaching your politics and worse case scenarios.  And what are you doing to make the world less polarized?

      VSE CCV Bypass - Anyone have this installed in their L5P?

      By asilverblazer · Posted

      Maybe.   Maybe.   I don't want to be the one that needs help and can't get it when I need it. That is a legitimate complaint, and how they respond to those legitimate complaints is a big red flag to me.   I don't care how good the product is their conduct is subpar. Some people are fine supporting that for the sake of getting the product they want. I'm not.   To be fair, I haven't seen or touched their product in person to determine for myself the quality of it. I'm not offering any opinion on that either.

      So if you do nothing and they act on their threats like death to America or Israel. And possibly a nuclear war. Whoever survives wonders why didn’t they listen? Or we do something like every President has said they can’t get a nuclear weapon. We’re at the 10 yard line and it happens the time is now or never. I think I’m ok with paying a little more for gas for awhile. It’s a shame that we now live in a world that’s so polarized.

      6 Speed vs 8 Speed

      4-5-6 fails due to design.  Not enough clutches and not enough piston to clutch surface area.  Also the backing plate can bow.     I'd say converter is two part.  The design of converter chosen, and factory tuning of it aka slipping it in D (also L6) for AFM purposes, as well as locking it up in 2nd gear, sometimes 1st, also it will partially lock up at light loads.  All because CAFE/fuel economy requirements.  A billet converter on the stock tune might hold up better, but would still be subject to the stock tuning and how its designed to lock or partially lock.     The most baffling part to me, is the 2007-2013 6L80s didn't have the failure rate the 2014-2018 ones do.  I've been where I work for almost 17 years now, and I recall maybe 3 or 4 of the 07-13 transmissions getting pulled for something.  14-18 on the other hand, it was at a minimum one a month being opened up.    If I had to guess, I'd say the tuning for the gen 5 engines/6L80 setup and its fuel economy goals had a good bit to do with it.  Also, it was bankruptcy time during these years, so I'm thinking some cost cutting was done for the launch of the K2XX trucks.  See also now the 10 speed valve body issues (more cost cutting).  They blow out some mesh screen in the spacer plate, undersized check ball, and the feed limit valve was aluminum and wears out prematurely.         I don't think it was the HP jump from the gen 4 to gen 5?  The 6.2 in the 07-13 trucks was good for 380-400hp during its life/states of tune, and the 5.3 did 310-320hp.
