Another update - 

 

 

Truck came back today. They did 2 lifters, the solenoid valley pan thing that controls the AFM lifters, Head Gasket, Oil Change, and Push Rod.

 

 

Was speaking with the tech and he's concerned that I also have an injector failing. He said my one fuel trim is at 18% and typically he likes to see plus or minus 5% of 0. 

 

My concerns are - injectors aren't covered under my extended warranty/powertrain. Second concern is that I just ordered my Autocal and if I have an injector issue obviously I'll need to sort that out before I get it tuned. While running in the shop it actually came down 2%(to the 18%) so maybe the truck is just un happy that everything was apart?

 

What is everyones thoughts and or suggestions at this point?

 

Lucked out with extended warranty. I think head gasket would have been around 2000.

Definitely get a range afm delete.

Range type devices only add a band aid to the potential problems and are not a true "delete".

Here is a great site explaining why a delete kit works better than tuning afm out electronically.

Just my 2 cents.

Would definitely agree that a true delete kit would be better. However time and having the truck down that long to do such a thing isn’t in the cards right now.

So, decided to beat on my truck a little last night, which I don't do often but from time to time I do stretch its' legs a bit.

 

Threw a check engine light and could feel a misfire.

 

So, pulled codes and sure enough misfire on cylinder #7. Today I swapped plugs and wires, cleared the code and fired it back up to have the same results. Pulled codes again - cylinder #7 misfire. Swapped coil packs around and the misfire stayed on #7. 

 

Did a compression test - just a hair under 125 on cylinder #7. I didn't check the other cylinders, at this point I'm frustrated. 

 

New plug is oil soaked from a 10 mile drive. 

 

No obscure noises coming from the engine. Could this be an AFM lifter issue?

 

I do have a Zurich powertrain and will be taking it to the dealer tomorrow. Just want some opinions from the knowledge here.

 

Thanks!

 

15 Silverado 5.3 non flex fuel motor. 78k miles on it.

 


Old Thread but I am having same issue on my 2015 Silverado 1500. 118k miles CEL came on flashing when I was getting on the highway. Cyl #7 

I suspect it’s going to be failed lifter because of the stupid AFM. 
Sucks I literally bought the truck 6 months ago. Thankfully I also did the Zurich extended warranty. Truck goes into dealership tomorrow. Truck is bone stock and I baby it. Kind of disappointing

      Gas Prices

      By CamGTP · Posted

      Was all the way down to $3.69 a gallon but then jumped back to $3.99 just because for some reason.   Diesel floats between $4.80's to $5.10ish a gallon. I even saw Diesel #1 for $6.09 today but nobody in there right mind even buys that in the summer.

      OTA updates and radio still cuts out

      By Coastie05 · Posted

      Mine just keeps lagging or getting stuck on the reverse camera. When I turn off the truck, get out, and close the door it will still stay on. It’s very intermittent and I would not be able to duplicate the issue.

      Gas Prices

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      I was checking out fuel prices at my farm fuel retailer at their pumps and yes the farm price is a bit lower than the non dyed fuel and was glad to see that the regular farm gas price has dropped a lot from what it had been but what blew me away was the price of diesel as the spread now compared to before the prices went up earlier in the year, diesel was actually slightly lower than gas which was a switch from the theme the last number of years. However that sure isn't the theme lately and definitely not right now. The prices I will post are not from that retailer but just looking at gasbuddy for the main city in this area and instead of posting the lowest price someone found I will list the higher price ( and that may not be the highest price, just whatever someone posted on gasbuddy ).   So regular gas and there are a lot of stations listing the same price for regular is 1.68 a liter, premium 2.00 a liter. Diesel 2.03 a liter for a top price I saw on diesel.   Figures out to 6.36 a us gallon Canadian funds for regular and 7.68 for diesel. With the US exchange rate it would be 4.58 us for regular and 5.53 for diesel.    Thought I would figure that out to get a picture of what it settles out like compared to various US prices and its about the same as the current price in Fairbanks AK as Anchorage tends to be lower. So yes, these would be the prices and higher along the way on the Alaska highway where they know they have a captured market !, for fuel prices for those beginning the long drive back to the lower 48   The problem is our Canadian dollar and going to the states that have the high prices, boy do we pay then !

      OTA updates and radio still cuts out

      Just wanted to get a idea of how many of you still have problems with your radio cutting out during the first few minutes of driving, my 2024 GMC Sierra still does this after a little over 2 years of complaining to my dealer about it, and OTA updates no longer complete, the check for updates in settings is greyed out for the second time while trying to install a update, my dealer took about a week to play around with it the first time this happened, and somehow got the check for updates to work, even though it would always show system is up to date when I knew it wasn't, now again 1 month later its greyed out again when the OTA update N25-F163BU tried to install, which ironically is the update to help with reliability of future updates.
