Definitely not stoned, employment-required drug testing prevents that.  Thanks for paying my $200 drivers license and vehicle registration renewals, by the way, never formally thanked everyone.

 

Why is it so hard to comprehend that the OLM is designed to get most of the engines through the warranty, and not actual longevity?  5k miles max on full synthetic, which on mine come to 60-65%.  Otherwise, reap the consequences.

You are completely full of crap.  I have a UOA done every other oil change.  I change my oil when the OLM is a t 10% - 15%.  My UOA's are freaking spot on!  Blackstone has recommended I can go to 8500 miles if I wanted to.  I don't, but the oil is still performing perfectly.

Took my 2017 Chevy Silverado z71 to the dealer today . Engine was ticking on top end sounded like a lifter tick and slight deeper knock in bottom end . oil presure was all over the place would go from 65 psi to 25 psi at same rpm. I have 44,000 miles. Has anyone else had this issue?  With the strike in play who know how long I will be without my truck.


Swap out your oil filter with a Napa Gold and see if you’re still having this issue

I wouldn’t bring up oil in these forums unless you can deal with actual proof, Amsoil and Redline are the best in engine performance but as long as you’re using a really good oil and changing it inside 4K miles along with a great synthetic oil filter like Napa Gold for short intervals or Wix XP for longer intervals (both capture as small as 20-21 microns) you’ll be good. It’s what goes on between and during the oil changes that matters.

:lurk:

 

Seriously, regardless of what dukedick said, it musta just been bad karma due to the OP not wearing a Chevy shirt every NASCAR Cup Sunday.  :chevy:  Posting for a friend . . . 

 

To the OP, too bad about your bad luck there.  Hope you are able to get your truck fixed as good or better than new soon!  As I've been saying, even great maintenance cannot always make up for bad parts.

One more tid bit... I have my oil changes done at the dealer with their bulk oil and GM filter.  

I am NOT trying to start another oil war!

Okidoki, let’s agree to cut the talk about which oil or oil intervals, not going to get anywhere but argumentative. I recommended changing his oil filter out for a Napa Gold in hopes to help with his oil pressure. I’ve heard people having issues with that crap cardboard factory filter either clogging up or breaking apart.

Dude had a lifter collapse per a few posts up.  No oil could have prevented an AFM lifter failure.  Luck of the draw.  VLOM solenoid failure, oil aeration, faulty lifter, etc.  Shite happens.  Low miles, high miles.  Some never have an issue, like the farmer with 150k we have who idles all day long, lets it run past 0% and uses our GM bulk Dexos oil.      

 

All I see in here is a giant Amsoil brigade ??? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?? ? ? ? ? ? ?

Lots of people enjoy high quality products with exceptional results while others just get by. You’re correct, luck of the draw, when it happens it happens but most happens to the purchasers of used vehicles that have no idea about past maintenance. Whether you use Amsoil or not, good maintenance is a must with anything with moving parts, especially AFM equipped vehicles.

Got the call from dealer it's a collapsed lifter no parts available. 

No parts available? What, they have a run on lifters all of a sudden? Either BS or more folks having that problem than they let on.

GM strike, my local shop has a truck waiting on a bearing as well.  Won't see them until the strikes done.

      Looking at ordering a '26 WT because I want a std cab, std bed

      By newdude · Posted

      So.  Get this.  On the Chevy regular cab, you can get the factory remote start at the dealer from the accessories catalog.  BUT.  GMC, you can't.   Now...get this...GMC 2 door, you CAN get the power seat.     Go.  Figure.   Anywho.  are you trying to order?  Or locate?  Ordering for 2 door 1/2 tons has been stopped as of April or May?  So you won't be able to order.  You'll have to shop on the ground units or in transit units.     Ordering was stopped because the new trucks are coming.

      Tonneau cover that does not leak water

      By cherryred21duramax · Posted

      Thank you.  I really appreciate the well wishes.  I'm an engineer in the telecom industry, I know hardly anything about marketing.  Over the years I did some videos for nonprofits and web sites for small businesses and the seed was planted.  Agree with over-buying, I started shooting on an iPhone before I got my first DSLR and tripod.   I'm looking at trucks with potentially 150,000+ miles to keep the cost of entry low while focusing on the client experience and equipment.  Good wireless mics for interviews, the right lenses & lighting to look professional.  But I don't want to be late or break down, the stress of emptying a trailer & securing a rental truck right before a gig would negate any savings from buying a junker.  So anything that leaks water, has extensive rust, or generally unreliable I'd like to avoid.   Does GM/Chevy overbuild these trucks for upfitting?  I talked to a local upfitter, they sometimes tie lights & other 12V into existing circuits, which I always thought was bad.  Which is why I enjoyed the AUX upfit switches on previous trucks (odd they mostly come with off-road or work truck packages).

      GM's are stainless and have a fairly robust powder coating, although, still not worth $850 in my opinion. They will hold up a lot better than their cheaper steel aftermarket counterparts.   What I like about the GM step bars is dealers will often equip their dealer stock with them. Lots of margin. Which means a lot of people end up buying them because they're already on the truck, even if they don't like them. So it's pretty easy to find brand new takeoffs with hardware on Marketplace and Craigslist for about $250.   That's what I did for my crew cab. I wanted ZR2 rock rails for the look, but with the ability to bolt up GM's assist step package. From GM it's about a $2500 accessory all in. The old folks in my life can't get in the truck without steps. I found the whole package on marketplace for $180.

      Forward collision and lane keep assist still a problem on 2022 refresh?

      By kr477 · Posted

      I am really glad I found this post and this site... We have a 2022 1500 refresh LTZ that has these problems: - forward collision avoidance warning light - lane keep assist unavailable - adaptive cruise control unavailable   The truck was bought as a new leftover in 2023, so it was still under the 3/36 B to B when it went in for these problems earlier this year. It has been at the dealer on and off now for about 110 days now. These are some of the things they have done that I can read on the service tickets. - replace/add ground straps (4) - check all battery cables and vlts - replace serial data gateway module - replace front view camera - numerous reprogramming - a few calibrations (apparently ending with 'learned') Last week when I had it back the truck had those 3 warnings every time we used it except for 3 times. On three separate occasions the truck started and ran perfectly with no (zero) warning messages or warning lights lit - everything worked perfectly. Over that same time period the truck did not work on every other 'key' cycle which I would estimate at 60+ cycles. On those estimated 57 cycles it had the same 3 problems each and every time.   It is back at the dealer now - can anyone help at all with what the true problem might be?  Or possibly what can be ruled out leaving a lower number of possibilities? Thank you very much for any help you may be able to supply....
