I really need some help  I got a 99 Silverado 1500 with 4.3.its throwing a p0300 .it's had a full tune up.including the coil and icm .the distributor is good.fuel pressure is good .the cam retard is good..maf is good.tps is good.egr is good.o2s are good.i have upgraded the injectors.i changed the crank and cam sensors...according to misfire counter 80  percent of the misfires are on cyl 2 and 5.on the misfire counter it appears the misfires are only happening at 12-1800 rpms.i barely get a misfire sometimes at idle but  but none 1800 rpms and up on the counter when I'm idling.when I'm driving I really only get misfires on the counter when I let of and barely give it gas cruising on the highway.the service engine light has even flashed at me when doing this rarely but it has and I couldn't feel a miss when it was flashing.the only time I can feel like a small buck is when acceleration on mid throttle about 1800-2500 rpms.its like it cuts out barely for half a sec and goes right back but other than that nothing and that's not even where I'm showingisfires at.i have sprayedbthe intake every possible way with carb cleaner without finding a vacuum leak.have also blew ciggarette smoke down the brake booster line with no luck.i check the compression on about 4 of the cylinders that were showing a misfire and they were about all 165psi.the only sensor I haven't messed with is the knock sensor but I don't thank it would cause a misfire.im out of ideas on it

      OCI, not when but why?

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      In the 80's 90's I'd run Honda's 7,500 miles between changes using Red Line HP 5W20 and do it for hundreds of thousands of miles with issues. Back in the day it was an SAE 20 with the HTHS of a SAE 30 and SN add load. It was also very polar. Oxidation VOA was over 120. Besides those motors were SPFI and lean burn tech. I could have likely run it longer but never did.    We had a Toyota bought new I ran on Pennzoil's latest and greatest synthetic of the day with "Penthane". A made up word for a very low dose of PAO. Tried 7,500 mile OCI's in that Group III/VI chemistry and the rings tapped out at 90K. Rocker box wasn't as bad as the one Punch put up but it wasn't good either. Also a SPFI motor.    I'm around 3,750 across the board on these GDI monsters and the oil it tapped out by then usually on TBN/TAN crossover and color. Red Line HP Euro.    The AMSOIL SS brochures tell you to follow the OEM values for the service class but that it can be run up to 25K if monitored. I can't imagine what motor could go that distance and not tap out. I've never owned one.    Yes, I know. Lot's of people do. I'm just not going to be one of them.

      I knew a guy in the early 80's that bought a new Monte Carlo and ran it a 100,000 miles without ever changing the filter or the oil. Just kept adding. It looked like that inside.

      My First Project and GMC has me stumped

      By whenindoubtuseahammer · Posted

      Good evening. I was lucky enough to get passed down to me a 2007 GMC LBZ that was my great uncle's. While the underside and rockers are more or less gone I feel like with time I can restore it to working order since it only has 110,000 miles and he put nearly every option he could get without getting the new body style since he did not trust DEF. So far I have done everything I can think of but when I put the key into the ignition nothing happens. I put 2 brand new batteries in it. Cleaned the terminals. Check all the fuses and relays and they all pass with my multimeter. I know I'm missing something that I just cant think of. The only odd thing is the OBD2 port works which makes me think its not the mega fuse. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

      Looks nice. I still have my 2000, 1500. Bought a 2025, 1500 for retirement. Feels solid. These trucks have a bad rap on the internet. My brother has a `24 1500, 5.3 with 52,000 miles. No problems at all. Mine hasn`t either but mine`s only at 12,700 miles. Have seen some of these things with 100,000 miles with no problems.

      Howdy! New to the forum of course! My name is Casey, just picked up a 2024 high country midnight edition. First “new” truck in 24 years for me. Driving a 1998 Z71 since 2002. Have been on the GMT400 forum with lots of good info and help there. Nervous about driving these newer trucks and all their electronics…. Did a lot of work on the Z71 myself over the years. New truck is definitely a nice upgrade after 24 years. Photo of the old and new, still keeping the Z71 - has 320,000 miles on her and still running well!
