Anybody have this happen? Door was unlocked, went to open my driver's side door and the handle came off in my dang hand?!?! 2019 Custom Silverado.....

Had to have lock cylinder replaced 2 weeks ago (it was rusting ) and noticed a little rattle in the door last night, assuming something wasn't secured properly, but never had this happen before....I can get it back in, but door won't open via the handle now(opens from inside, thank God)47cb53ab1563099ede2052432588df19.jpg

Probably didn't get it tightened all the way down. IF it was a warranty deal where they replaced the lock cylinder be sure to advise the service advisor when you take it back to the dealership.

If you get a survey after the fact be honest and not do what the dealer wants you to do which will be cover their back as they'll try to hide this mistake if it was a warranty fix to begin with.

As a matter of fact I'd call GM's warranty dept and let them know. There surely has to be a number you can let them know about this experience at.

A mechanic apparently was more concerned about something else besides your pickup that day and maybe the dealership needs to know so they can address this properly. IF you just take it to them and they hide the fix GM will never know.

As a matter of fact if the lock cylinder was replaced at a dealership under warranty I'd take it to a different dealership for this repair as it'll get charged back to the dealership being they screwed a simple lock cylinder change up.

Makes me wonder if your door panel got the same subpar treatment as they have to remove the panel and a protective plastic sheet to access the handle/lock area.

This is Ridiculous that this has occurred.

Lol, I am a frail little man, lol...
Tend to agree that it was a rush job and they biffed it.....guving my dealer a chance to make it right, as they are taking it first thing in AM, but will make dang sure that the door panel is nice and solid after the repair ....of the repair.. .it did seem to sound a little loose the past couple days , so I would reckon that there may be some other parts in there not secured as well....

      Very interesting thread. Definitely didn’t expect to see this kind of mileage out of that engine.

      J&L OIL SEPARATOR CO

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Just did an injector/HPFP replacement on Pepper at 192,400 miles; close enough to 200K, RIGHT? (If 200K is considered life end and to me it isn't). But hey, to each his own.    Have never run a catch can on this vehicle. Back side of every valve looked like a new valve spray painted semigloss black. Port walls looked 'neat' (all a normal result of passive EGR via VVT) Zero build up even in AFM cylinders. Just color. It uses no measurable oil and never has.    At 155,000 I put her on E-85 and a borescope of the cylinders at plug change showed very clean pistons and valve faces. The replaced injector tips looked new. (It was the pump piston seal that was leaking). Oh well, have six good backups.    Still gets 28 mpg on gas (highway average) and over 20 (highway) on alky. UOA's look good and runs as good now as it did when I bought it. Better in fact.    What improvement would a Catch Can provide this motor?     And given all this I expect that IF I installed one I'd see some water/gas/oil vapor accumulation. Byproducts of normal combustion.   Having said that, IF my motor used an appreciable amount of oil I'd consider it a useful 'crutch' until I had the situation corrected OR if bore polished, until I junked it or rebuilt it to stave off repeated plug fouling.    I'm not telling you what I THINK. But what its DONE.

      Starting a new thread regarding mounting my 2014 OEM wheels to my 2026

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Love the look. I'm a SCSB lover myself.    Two items. 1.) A spacer changes scrub radius but this also changes when we use wheels of different offsets. A little isn't a big deal. 2.) Steel wheels, alloy wheels all have different thickness. Same effect on the stud and lug nut as a spacer. When hub centric the wheel isn't supported by the stud. It's supported by the hub. The stud just keeps it all together.

      2016 Sierra 5.3L L83 new injectors now runs rich.

      By JAI3 · Posted

      I had a evap sol go bad a couple weeks ago. . I replaced it.  While watching live data at the time I saw I had some cylinder 1 misfires. No MIL but on live data I could see ~50 at startup and about 70 more after an hour a drive all on cyl 1.  I also noticed that the LTFT were -5% to -15% always.  And that bank 2 is always -3% richer than bank 1. Even across all driving modes, city, highway, etc it’s always 3% richer than bank 1. So I start with the misfire. Swapped coil, plug, and plug wires from 1 to 3. No follow. I got an Injector reseal kit, pulled the D/s injector rail, swapped #1 and #3 injectors, resealed them, reinstalled and retested.  The misfire followed to 3. So I ordered and replaced all 8 injectors, spark plugs, and plug wires. Also replaced the 1 time use fuel pipes under the intake manifold.  Injectors that were in the truck since new were  Part # 12668390.  I replaced them with # 12742701 Got from RockAuto. Pretty certain they’re genuine and the correct ones. I called a friend at a parts store who told me “the 12742701 were the correct superseded part # for the originals I was replacing”. So started truck after replacing all that and it’s running -15 - -30 LTFTs. I reset the fuel trims with GDS2 and drove it for a 60 miles trip each way. There have been no changes in the LTFTs.  I checked if the HPFP was leaking into the crankcase. I removed the pvc and watched the trims. No difference.  I checked the alcohol content and it was at 10%  I’m out of ideas here. Truck seems to run great. Just always rich on the fuel trims.  Anyone with any help or ideas would be greatly appreciated.  I ran an injector balance test just for the heck of it and it came back this. I’m confused.  I have gds2 and some other diag tools if anyone knows of anything I should test next.
