Hi   New here to the forum.  I have a 2017 Silverado 1500 High Country 9,000 miles,  lately the truck will begin to miss and stumble.

The check engine light flashes and the traction control light is also lit.  This has happened 3 times lately with no codes stored. Goes back  to normal

in less than a minute

Dealer says they cannot do anything without a code.

I am preparing to go on vacation in Florida and am afraid truck will break down on the way. (considering driving my 12 yr old Tahoe instead )

Its pretty bad when you have a new almost $60,000 truck and are afraid to drive it, and dealer cannot and will not figure out whats wrong without

a code being thrown.

Have an appointment tomorrow with a different dealer, I also opened a case with Chevrolet today.

Anyone have any ideas where to begin checking without a code?

Would greatly appreciate

If I had to venture a guess, I would say its drive train related or something in the traction control system. The engine "stumble" is probably the engine being throttled to compensate for the traction issue or what it thinks is a traction issue.

 

Does this typically happen while turning or straight line. Once again my bet is something in the traction control system.

Happens when driving straight, once as I was parking at idle   Also 8 speed clunks mostly on slowing downshifts

No codes at all?  If the lights flashing, there should be freeze frame data and codes stored in the ECM. 

dealer just plugged in scanner  said no codes found!!    Shouldn't they be able to put it on a scope and look for pending  code?     check engine was flashing, traction control light steady

The check engine light was flashing and there are no codes? Flashing check engine light is a catalytic converter damaging event...fuel is being dumped into the cat and it potentially can damage it. You sure it was the check engine light flashing and not the traction control light flashing?

 

To have a misfire like this is a pretty big event (not always) I've seen bad O2 sensors have the potential to do this. But with direct injection? Wonder if too much fuel is being dumped? Doubt it. 

 

It sounds like drivetrain to me, especially from what I've read of the 8 speed transmissions and torque converters. Lots of stumbling and the feeling of misfires/hesitation/surging. That'd be my guess.

The check engine light was definitely flashing, plus traction control light was on too!!  Has happened 3 times only lasts approx a minute then clears up and runs normally.  No codes found   Hitting the dealer again tomorrow morning.

Hope they can figure this out

They really don't use scopes any more. All the techs have notebooks and all the diagnostics and updates are done with that.

Peruse your owners manual regarding GM roadside assistance, you should still be under bumper to bumper warranty and have the roadside assistance in effect. If your dealer doesn't come up with a fix before you leave on vacation, drive it anyway, unless your going to some swamp area in the boonies.  If it should break down on you, the tow and loaner to continue your vacation will be on GM.

does it only do it when you first start the vehicle?

No it happens when the truck is warmed up usually while driving

Any Ideas how to diagnose without any codes?

 

Thanks

Hello,

Anytime you have a misfire the stabitrac light will also be on. If no code is stored, the bad cylinder will show in misfire data under history. If a code was cleared this data is also reset. Maybe try another dealer. If the trans. has codes it will illuminate the check engine light. The code will be P0700. The trans codes are stored in TCM. There should also be freeze frame data stored if the code was not cleared.

I have a 2014 LT Z71 and this exact same thing happened to mine not long ago. Mine stayed on and a lifter was stuck. It only has 35k miles so still under warranty. The problem.is a known issue with the The Active Fuel Management System. They replaced all of the lifters associated with the AFM. As of right now I have since disabled the AFM on my own with a Diablo i3 intune. Truck runs great now

      2026 6.6 L5P oil cooler leaking oil at 4,000 miles

      By Z45 · Posted

      The oil filter has NOTHING To do with oil leak. GM sources parts from 1,000's of vendors and as with anything mass produced, flaws are unavoidable.    Putting a larger oil filter will do nothing but satisfy emotions. The OEM filter is designed for the engine and perfectly capable of handling the demands on the engine. Oversize oil filter could result in reduced flow and overall lower oil pressure.

      The Peckish Synapse

      You're better read than that Atlas. 😏   British science fiction writer Arthur C. Clarke formulated three adages that are known as Clarke's three laws, of which the third law – that "any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic" – is the best known and most widely cited.   Stribeck and the pivotable Hersey Number isn't voodoo nor snake oil. That part is physics. It's what marketing and bean counters do with it that is snake oil and voodoo.    Stribeck is the relationship between Hersey and the Coefficient of Friction. Within the Hersey Equation if viscosity and viscosity is 'Dependent' on.......heat.......and.......viscosity index or the temperature to viscosity slope.    Specifically Hersey is the viscosity AT THE TEMPERATURE IN THAT LOCATION FOR THAT SLOPE.   Hydrodynamic lubrication exist when the film thickness in the location is 3X the Ra roughness of the surface. This is irrespective of the hardness of the substrate. To obtain that thickness X viscosity is required for Y velocity at Z load. That's a lot of moving parts. It is also impossible to maintain in an ICE but nearly possible with a turbine under constant load.    What does that mean? Error heavy and operate light. Wear is inevitable but the rate of wear and the milage obtainable are a function of prevailing conditions and HABITS. The only penalty is viscous drag and at fractions so low as to be well worth the effort. Double the life, half the manufacturing carbon foot print. Greed is the only impediment.    The materials generated by SwRI are the RESULT not an estimation or a hypothesis.    Don't delude yourself sir, EV's have as many pitfalls as ICE's. We just don't know what they are yet and it will take longer to sort as MARKETING and GREEDY CEO's have had more time to polish the turd they are selling.

      You can always count on greed to prey on ignorance and stupidity.    Friend bought a 2019 Ford Flex and asked me about using Valvoline R&P 5W30 in it. Told him give the miles on it and the fact it wasn't yet using oil that it was a good plan. He uses a Valvoline quick change shop for his oil service.   First they tell him that isn't the oil the OEM recommends. He told them he didn't care what the OEM thought. Then they floated the, "But it will void your warranty"    His reply was it's a 2019, there is no warranty and informed them their knowledge of the law was lacking.    Then they tell him 'But it will ruin your motor"!.    Mine to ruin he says. Finally they give in and charge him 150% the semi-syn price    Point it the brainwash is so embedded that even the service industry is drunk on their swill. The public is right behind them. Echoing the same lies on every forum and media platform. If the end goal is indeed EV then I'd say that ship is about built.

      Diesel hit $6.00 here today at the truck stop.   Payed $2.79 for E85 today too.
