2015 Chevy Silverado 6.2 Failed Lifter

I have a 2015 4WD Chevy Silverado LTZ with 6.2. 248,000 miles. I’ve always kept up with the maintenance on this truck and it’s been very good to me. I recently started getting a code for misfire #2. Changed all the wires and plugs, no help. Decided to do injector next but someone told me about the lifter problems the AFM causes and sure enough I’ve got a faulty lifter. In stead of just changing that lifter, thought about changing cams and deleting AFM. This is my daily driver, not sure if it’s worth it or not. Any suggestions would be appreciated 

thank you

If you plan to keep it, I would replace the lifters and delete AFM. I’m not sure about the cam since I’ve never done one. If you plan to get rid of it in the next year or so, I would still replace lifters and delete afm.

Yes I plan on keeping it. Just paid it off. I don’t plan on having another truck payment for a long long time. Vehicles are getting too expensive 

If I just do lifters and not the cam, while I have it apart I was thinking replacing all rollers, push rods and lifters as well since I’ve got so many miles on it. I want it to last. Anything else I should do while I’ve got broke down?

Cylinder 2 is not a deactivating cylinder.  Only 1, 4, 6 and 7.  

 

I'd test that injector before you start ripping and tearing.

This is good advice

I'm sure this is common knowledge here but if you end up digging into the engine and the camshaft is fine. Replacement parts need to be what you took out. You can't delete the AFM/DoD without a non AFM/DoD camshaft.

 

So 8 regular lifters and 8 AFM lifters will be needed.

      Those can be high, as well as the big California cities. The ones that will pop your eyes out are the 395 corridor on the Eastern side of the Sierra Nevadas. Lee Vining, $7.19 for regular and $8.89 for diesel is what the Google said right now.

      2020 Trailboss 6.2 replacement

      Correct.  2019-2021 model years are serviced by a different p/n.  19420611.  Recall 2021s use 19420611.   The recall engines 2022-2024 model years are serviced with 12740076.     The difference between 19420611 and 12740076 is GM changed injector size for 2022.  The injectors are smaller on 12740076 with smaller injector bores in the cylinder heads to match the smaller injectors.  So you can't install a 19420611 in a 2022-2024, and you can't install a 12740076 in a 2019-2021.     Both engines are the replacement engine p/ns that are in the L87 recall.  So both of these are the updated engines.     Here's a version of the L87 recall with the p/ns for all the parts needed.    RCRIT-25V274-7075.pdf   Note it shows 19420611 and 12740076 with an asterisk to a footnote "Use the VIN and the GM Electronic Parts Catalog (EPC) to determine which part to order if two or more part numbers are listed for the same part, as it may vary by vehicle options."

      Looking for advice from this group. Took my flawless 2020 6.2 TB to an unnamed shop for routine rear brakes and oil change. Tech forgot to put oil back in after the full service and needles to say, destroyed my engine.  It’s all on their shop video so they are responsible.   I had my Chevy dealer do the analysis and they confirmed its compromised and said engine replacement. The manager said they only get GM reman engines from GM with full 3 yr warranty and the one they would put in is not same as what’s they are swapping out on 21-25 for recall.    I am looking for advice why that would be a different engine because obviously I had the good 6.2 year and replacing it has my concerns with that recall for 21-15   Also what’s the pros and cons of accepting the engine swap vs telling the shop that bricked the truck to pay up so I buy a new truck. I’m concerned about stigma resale eventually if I just decide to get rid of it after the swap or other issues showing up after the swap out.

      AFM Disabler Question

      By GN2018 · Posted

      Just looked up my records.  I've never gone over 5000 miles between oil changes.  At 46K miles, I have 10 oil changes.  I hope that will help.  I also installed the disabler last year.  I've still had a few times when it didn't seem to engage (which I can tell because the start stop feature kicks in), but for the most part, I think it's working.  For some reason, GM did not include the number of cylinders running in the information screen like I had on other models.  In my Cadillac, it shows me when it's running on 4 cylinders on the fuel milage screen.  I can't find that on my '21 Denali.
