New Member with a problem

[Greg2016]

Had my 2016 Silverado for a year has around 59000 miles on been in the shop for a month replacing all the valves and the cam not very happy with it at the moment no clue what cause this problem all maintenance always kept up to date if I ever get it back probably get rid of it switched from Toyota probably going back I Loved the truck till now

A month?  To do cam and heads?  I think the shop is what I would be unhappy with.  That's weekend project for a decent mechanic.

Greg sorry to hear about your problems.   Was it the #7 AFM cylinder and a lifter ticking noise?  My All Terrain had the lifters on that side along with a bent rod replaced in less than 3 days.  Was given a rental SUV so wasn't too concerned.  Month seems like an extremely long time to wait on a repair.  Is this a small dealership?   Yes my maintenance is up to date as well with receipts on hand to prove it.

Sounds good and thanks for being a contributing member to the forums and letting us know all your very specific problems with your first post, enjoy the switch back to the oh so reliable Toyota's... I do recall Toyota having a host of cam shaft failures in their Tundra's?

Mike, I know a month is ridicules not thrilled with the shop . 

Lgetz, Thanks, It was #5 cylinder and a lifter ticking noise, yep small dealership, got a loaner car little Cruz better than nothing saving on gas.

Tyler, sorry if I got off on the wrong foot by complaining but just a little frustrated, drove Tacoma's for years wanted a full size did a lot research went with Chevy for a number of reasons Loved the truck added mods made it mine guess its just bad luck.

If you're having the work done at a certified GM dealership, you will be fine.  You have tons of powertrain warranty .  There has to be much more to the story than the information provided here.  Why has it been in the shop this long?  What did GM customer support tell you?  I can't  imagine ever being in the situation as you describe.  Leaving out pertinent details inevitably leads to brand and dealership bashing.

[Greg2016]

Only thing I left out was they were very busy and were waiting on parts Not "Leaving out pertinent details" and Not " brand and dealership bashing." and not sure what kind of powertrain warranty you have but mines only 60000 miles and as I stated above "Had my 2016 Silverado for a year has around 59000 miles"

That's a non AFM cylinder if that is the failure cylinder.  Might be an oddity in your case.  I wonder if a lifter spun in the bore.  You will be fine though, they'll fix you up and it will be running strong like before.

Could parts be back ordered already, or your in a weird corner of North America? I have heard about quite a few of these LT's going down over AFM lifter issues. My '14 had an AFM issue so I deleted it and haven't had a lick of trouble since. Ever-climbing MSRP's, and much less quality seems to be the auto industry's new moto.
