Well my 2014 GMC Sierra (purchased new) with less than 30,000 miles showed a Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL - Engine Symbol Light) on dash last Wed - May 8th.

 

I called OnStar and received the report via e-mail below - Code P050D.  Truck ran fine.

 

Scheduled truck into the dealer for Fri morn May 10th.  Dealer kept truck until around noon the next Day to make certain code did not reappear on cold start.

I picked up my truck and no problems since the P050D.  Here is some of the repair receipt:

 

#1 - 3202: Engine Repair

Installed laptop and was unable to duplicate concern at this time.  Tech tested and test drove several times and was not able to duplicate.  Advised customer

to return if concern returns.  No repairs were made at this time.

 

$85.00 plus tax.  Is this it for diagnostics?  Seems to me like the tech cleared the code - drove the truck - no code - calls it good.

 

Drove truck yesterday on a 60 mile 90 percent highway trip and mileage on dash showed 19.2.

 

Here are the results of your recent On-Demand Diagnostic request on your 2014 GMC Sierra.

You should probably invest in a cheap code reader. You could have saved yourself $85 and your truck being gone for a day. 

 

P050d is a rough idle. Usually an air leak, maybe plugs or coils. But definitely something that could be diagnosed and remedied at home

90% of the cause of P050D is 1 or more bad injectors. It will set on a cold start.

P050D, rough idle on cold start.. Scan tool misfire data will show the cylinders that are misfiring.. It will only occur during a cold start.. Your not going to see anything on a test drive..

Fuel injectors are the most common failure.. Coolant leaking into a cylinder from a bad cylinder head casting is possible but not common.

Update - Truck showed same code again this morning.  Went to dealer this afternoon.

 

Dealer is replacing ALL fuel injectors.

 

Service person said it will be covered under my power-train warranty.  We will see.

 

Purchased truck new in August, 2014.

I plan to buy a code reader.  Any suggestions?

Just about any OBD II code reader will work.  Just look on Amazon or go to your local auto parts store and you can find em all day.

Please get them to put that in writing or at least hurry up and get it in before they change their mind. My 2016 6.2 L got the same code...2 injectors causing the issue and dealer( plus others on this forum) showed me the warranty details specifically excluding the injectors from powertrain warranty. Got GM to cover part of the cost for 4 injectors since I was at 37,000 miles but the fight was not easy and no one would cover it under powertrain warranty. I had them replace all 8 due to a new injector part number that I hoped was updated since mine had been built. I know the powertrain warranty changed from 100k miles (14-15) to 60k miles (16 plus models). Was this another change of powertrain covering injectors (in 14-15 models) versus not covering injectors (in 16+)? Best of Luck.

The dealer service person did not provide specifics about any coverage other than to say GM is covering this under my warranty.

 

I asked if this was under the power-train warranty and she just said it is being covered.

 

My truck has just shy of 30,000 miles and was purchased in August, 2014 - nearly 5 years ago.

 

Thanks for the info/advice.  Will post here what happens.  My truck was manufactured in June, 2014.

Yeah, don't buy one.  Get a scan tool with bi-directional communications that was made for your truck.  GMs MDI2 with GDS software and a laptop will allow you to see all the codes and runs graphs and diagnostics and tests and resets, etc. on your truck.

I don't think they will give me my $85 back.  However I will ask after ALL fuel injectors are replaced.

      Roll up bed cover experiences

      I have a Retrax pro that I first had on my 2020 chevy and transferred it to my current GMC.  It stays in the garage most of the time, so hard for me to judge it's long term weather resistance.  It still works perfectly, been very durable.  It doesn't see oil patch usage, but it's not a mall queen.  It keeps most things mostly dry (small leaks) and the security of it is enough to slow someone down but not keep them out for long.  I would buy one again, it works for me.

      Thanks to the convenience of Amazon, I was able to get a few things done to the truck today.  I installed Carquest Premium oil and air filters with five quarts of Mobil1 High Mileage 10-30 along with a quart of Pennzoil Platinum 5w-30 I already had.  The latch for the flip up center console lid was broken so I replaced it along with the power mirror switch.  I found my push retainer assortment this morning and reattached the plastic under the bumper and it was only held on with a few screws and retainers.  Then I programmed a new remote keyless entry fob so I can lock my dog in the truck when I take her out with me (I've got to keep the air going for her since it's been in the 100s).  Finally, I ordered some LED interior bulbs and replaced the reading lamps.  The front lights are working fine while one of the back lights only works intermittently and the other not at all.   While under the truck, I found the source of at least one of the noises: the sway bar links need replacing.  I ordered a set of Suspension Dudes links with Code Red bushings.  Never heard of them, but they're made in the USA and have decent reviews.  While making yet another Amazon order, I went ahead and added a set of front tow hooks.  I went with red, since that's the color of the sway bar link and bushings and it should look decent enough on a black and chrome truck.  Speaking of which, it doesn't bug me much, but the passenger side mirror has a chrome cap while the driver side doesn't, so eventually I'll make them match one way or another.  Oh, and I ordered a $20 TPMS reset tool.  No idea if it will do anything for my sensors but it was cheap and will work for the Ford Transit Connect as well.     For tradition's sake, I ordered a new oil change wrench.  I kept the Snap-On 9/16"x15mm GM wrench I bought when I was 18 in the 2006 GMC from the time I bought that truck until the truck was lost.  While I was tempted, there's no need to spend $80 for a new SO wrench, or even $50 with shipping for a used one on Ebay.  I just bought a Duratech 15mm extra-long ratcheting wrench to do the job as needed.  It works, and if I like that wrench enough, I'll buy the set.

      Multigate electrical problem

      By Another JR · Posted

      The recall is for exactly this issue - those drain holes combined with the limited environmental capability of the tailgate electronics card inside the tailgate were a problem. The “safety issue” was the potential for the tailgate to spontaneously open, but all kinds of tailgate misbehavior can occur from water contamination of that control card.    There is no real fix yet. The initial recall just disabled the tailgate. Later, when parts became available, they would replace bad parts with new parts of the same bad design. My dealer is going nuts because the few times I let them get their hands on my truck, my tailgate is off due to a slide-in camper installation. They really want to cut my tailgate wires, but I won’t give them the chance. I will let them get their dirty hands on it when a real fix (redesign) is available.  My tailgate, which works just fine with sealant plugging the drain holes, will remain safe in a dry storage crate until then.

      Tire fitment

      Yes your absolutely right, I been looking at the 4 inch BDS one and it acutely states you can use the stock 20’s just not the 17’s or 18’s, I also didn’t realize that with my 275/60r20 stock wheels I’m already running 33 inch diameter wheel setup lol so I can just run my stock wheels and tires atleast to start.

      I would expect that to be lift-kit dependent.  If the kit has interference issues w stock wheels, then the kit/manufacturer should indicate that somewhere.
