Hey guys, just wanted to say that I have the same issue with my 2014 silverado as well. I have not yet taken it to a dealership, but I managed to find this video on the internet that I thought was pretty interesting. Unfortunately I do not have a fancy enough scan tool to be able to view all of the PIDs that this guy monitors, but I think this is the problem my truck is having. Basically the truck thinks that it is running fuel that has a really high percentage of alcohol in it (like 35% or so) even though it is standard fuel. The fuel composition sensor needs to be reset and in some cases there is an ECM update that is supposed to correct the problem. Hope this helps you guys. The video is a little on the long side, but very informative.

Basically same conditions for mine too, 127k miles and got those codes mid March. Then 0430 mid April. I finally narrowed it down to exhaust manifold gasket leak while I was checking the plugs; specifically #8. Ordered gaskets to replace this week and a couple extra bolts.
 
I think I lost one which is why the leak developed. Dealer said this was a common thing. I said it shouldn’t be if you built trucks to last with good parts and if it’s that common it should be a defect covered under a recall. There’s no reason for bolt heads to be blowing off the exhaust manifold. 
It is common.. Think about it.. The temperature swings from hot to cold every time you drive.. The expansion and contraction over time causes the bolts to get weak.. This is normal.

Ya I get it. Shouldn’t happen tho and won’t ever again. I replaced them and traded it after the CEL kept coming back and Chevy straight up told me they didn’t know what was wrong. 3 months with my Tundra now and I don’t know why I ever left Toyota. bye forever Chevy.

Yes, dealership checked it out and kept it several days while a part was ordered and put on. When I picked it up, nobody that was there knew what part was put on, manager was gone. Next time I am there I will ask, but so far it has not thrown anymore codes.

Anybody else dealing with these issues?

Exact same issues here just started for me. Same codes and everything. I started a thread a couple days ago on this. Dealer diagnosed is potentially as a PIP5590A and points to the high pressure fuel pump. That is a $1250 fix though and they didn't feel 100% confident about it. Mine seems to happen when the truck is idling in hot weather. Hard shifts are because the truck is going into fault mode. Everyone I talk to is saying its more likely the injectors. After seeing that other poster say he got the injectors cleaned and it seems to be fine I am on the verge of doing that also. Truck has 65k on it and its a 2014 5.3

2014 5.3 Silverado. Same thing, except most on here say it happens around 125K mine did it about 6 months ago at 63K, cleared itself, then came up again yesterday at 69K. I commented to my wife that both instances were days with a lot of idling, then came here to see much of the same. With mine being under 100K, is this something that should be under warranty?

I have a 2014 Silverado 5.3 with 65k miles. I started getting the P0172 and P0175 codes about two months ago. I cleared them pretty quickly each time the light popped on and determined that they would reoccur after I would remote start it and let it run for 5 minutes or more. I really do believe this issue is triggered, at least for me, by idling at least 5 minutes. When I intentionally avoided idling the codes did not reappear. After searching this and other forums I decided to focus on the injectors. After a bit of research I settled on trying a fuel injector cleaner, Liqui Moly Jectron to be specific. I usually don't have high expectations for the "off the shelf magic bullet" but this stuff has me really optimistic. I put it in two weeks ago with about 2/3 of a tank and drove about 200 miles over the next day. Since then I have let it idle over 5 minutes two or three times with the key on and exactly 10 minutes three other times by remote starting it and letting shut itself off. At this point the light has not come back on yet. I am sharing this so that others can give it a try and see if they have similar results. The best part being the cleaner is less than $10 at my local Autozone. If this continues to keep the code cleared I am going to add it to my every second oil change checklist. If any of y'all give it try please post here and let me know if it helps at all. I'll report back if it keeps working for me.

I did the same thing. Ran 2 bottles in 2 tank refills. Also ran shell Vpower thinking it might be a fuel problem; cuz it only happened when it was hot outside (85+). It came back a couple weeks later. Decided to trust the dealer's diagnosis and pay up $1300 for a hpfp and it's been good ever since. Still gets a little rough on idle when its really hot and idling for a couple minutes but no check engine light or driveability issues.

Any luck with fixing P0172 and P0175? I am having the same issues with my 2014 Silverado 5.3 with 128k miles. I have changed the MAF and MAP. The check engine light may stay off a day or two when cleared.    Fuel pump leaking fuel in crank case? Worked on one every shop in town tried to fix. Put fuel pump on fixed gdi motor 5.3 L83

      2018 Sierra 1500 Transfer Case Leak

      By Ryanwehr14 · Posted

      A while back, my truck (2018 GMC Sierra 1500 5.3) went in for an o2 sensor and routine service. The tech identified that my rear output seal on my transfer case was leaking, and recommended I have them replace it. At the time I didn't think anything of it, and had them do the repair. Less than a month later, I noticed that the recently repaired seal was leaking again. I called the shop that did the repair and they warrantied the repair and replaced the same seal again. A few months later, I noticed that once again the same seal leak had come back. It wasn't a great time to bring it in and I ended up just living with it for 6 months or so, noticing small (smaller than a baseball) size oil stains below the truck when it would sit for a while, as well as oil spray on the frame (to the point where it actually took the underbody coating off in that one spot). Finally got around to brining it in again, but this time I took it to a dealership service center since I am in a different part of the state for school. They identified the same output seal leaks and recommended they replace them. They also said there was no scoring on the inside of the transfer case, so it didn't need to be replaced. They chalked up the original repair failures to non oem seals and a job that wasn't done correctly. Now they called and said the seals are holding after driving/sitting for a while, but they found a very small leak in the middle, that they recommended they seal with some kind of silicone/jb weld (not sure what they are using). I haven't picked up the truck yet, but I have been reluctant about this whole repair process because I feel like they are just fixing the same thing that keeps coming back, and I am concerned there could be another root cause for the seal failing. Has anybody else experienced anything like this, or have any ideas on other things that could be the root cause?

      2012 Sierra 1500 AC issues

      By Fishbones · Posted

      I just started having AC issues with my 2012 Sierra. The symptom is blowing warm air on all vents.  Here is what I have checked so far. Compressor clutch appears to be engaging and cycling  I checked all fuses and relay, no issues. The only thing I have notices is the short line that comes from the firewall is very cold / frosted. This line is approximately 12 inches long. The coldness stops when it hits the first line connector. As far as AC compressor - At first start the clutch engages, runs continually, Short AC line frosts up. After idling for several minutes the AC line thaws out some but is still cool and the compressor clutch starts cycling on and off every 5 seconds.  Any suggestions on what to look at next would be appreciated.

      OCI, not when but why?

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Unless you are using a bypass filer system with a Beta of 1000 at 2 micron the commercial filters we have access to, even the very best of them, are poor at the 5 to 10 micron range the typical UOA test can 'see'. Point is there are some truly awful filters being sold A 45 micron Beta 75 filter is what Dyson used to call a screen door on a submarine. That leaves wear metals disconnected from filtration unless particulates are larger than the test can 'see' and yet captured by the filter...which is its job. If that is true then you have a major issue screaming at you.    The graph isn't mine. It belongs to GM and their study on this area. I looked up those studies and provided those SAE tech paper addresses multiple times. Machinery Lubrication displayed it and confirmed it. So if you have doubts about the study you'll have to take it up with GM Engineering. Just like you would have to take up a difference in opinion about the meaning a word with Webster or the length of on inch with the National Institute of Standards and Technology.      Most manuals have two schedules. "Normal Service" and "Severe Service". On it's face it tells you that oil in severe service is more highly stressed and doesn't "Last as Long". The item to bore in on is LAST...what does that mean?    It's the same question one asks about how long to toast bread. What are the inputs? Bread type? Wattage of the toaster? Distance from the elements? What is your preferred level of done?    So lets paint this with a broader brush. Oil is made up of the base and the additive package. The first is altered by heat and oxygen and later is sacrificial with a finite life subject to inputs toward that end. Resistance and supply.    It is the reason an OEM's OCI's are determined by 1.) the specifications of the recommended lubricant and 2.) risk management toward the bottom line. Those lubricants are also subject to cost effectiveness for the OEM.    There is a tendency for most people to believe that the OEM recommended oil rest on the top shelf and that anything other is lesser than. Truth is there are more oils on higher shelves than those on the lower shelf below the OEM's. They make that choice on COST TO THE OEM. Testing is incidental to the margin.    GM makes MONEY, the car/truck is a TOOL to leverage MONEY. Insert whatever car brand you like. Until you forking over a million plus COST not quality is the driver. Thus it is by DESIGN the recommended OCI's and oils fall well short of 'best practice protections'. Proof isn't hard to find. GM Ecotec I-4 2400 breather system and cold start PCM tuning has killed more motors and resulted in more litigation for those that used the 'recommended' practice than GM could bear. What was their response? SHORTEN THE OCI. TWICE.    I don't know how long to leave oil in an I don't know how the oil will respond to MY circumstances and because I don't and can't blanket statement or anecdotal evidence my way out of it.....I TEST and FIND the right OCI for the oil I CHOOSE. There is no shortcut but there is blind allegiance. I don't blindly trust anything.    People hear the word 'detergent' and believe that in the context of oil it means the same thing as laundry soap... Only in the most rudimentary way. It's the first additive to give up on you and they are putting less and less with each new API standard. Solvency can be used but it cost. Some unique undisclosed chemistries can be used. Valvoline R & P in example. OEM's haven't an interest in anything they see as limiting market participation. Whatever.

      By KARNUT · Posted

      For some unexplained reason my father wanted a salvage yard. As we were getting the family business off the ground one brother ran the salvage yard. We gathered there when rained out working on pipelines in the eighties to pull parts. Perfectly good running vehicles would come to us simply because they wouldn’t pass emissions inspection. We were able to swap parts and sell some of them. I got a clean old nova with a bad engine. I pulled a perfectly good small block out a Camaro. A father and son project with a rebuilt engine. The son couldn’t get the engine running right. The problem was the spark plugs weren’t gapped. The 90s vehicles probably widened the gap of shade tree do it yourself engine repair. My do it yourself hot rod repair stopped at the 70s. After that my trusted mechanic kept them in running shape.

      Wow I'm in a pickle. (Broke down truck) and a story.

      By Atlas · Posted

      I have an old dental chair in my shop. Something I got for free and apparently it has more than scrap value? People collect them although mine isn't restored or anything. It's visually interesting (1930's Ritter) which is why I like it. And it IS decently comfortable if you kick back.   When a good buddy of mine saw it he said, let me guess, Atlas. It's a conversation piece? As in, you ask the questions, they do the talking?   Where do you hide the jar of teeth?   I would never.
