Did switching gas help with the misfire? My 21 Sierra has done it twice now dealer found p300.

I have a 21 AT4 5.3 V8, and I've had the check engine come on showing the same code, however, it went away.  I recently took a long trip, filled up at a local Walmart after I got back in town.  Fast forward a few days and my truck has developed a bit of a shake when driving, along with a bit of a slip when coming to a stop, along with check engine light flickering some.  Not sure if you have had the same symptom, but I am curious if I put a bad batch of gas in my truck.  Was curious if you have experienced the same.

So I thought too maybe it was bad gas. Took to dealer once had generic 300 code then light flashed again stopped by dealership said it was same code so a tech went and go scan took I had misfires on 1&6 said they’ve had a lot of issue with the lifters collapsing due to a bad batch of parts. So next week they’re replacing all lifters.the tech also said usually by 5000 miles they will fail I’ve got 2700 on mine.

this happened to me a few weeks ago and then shutoff later the next day. mine was unsettling as it came on while driving through some fields (hey it's a truck right?) nothing reckless, just pulling a turkey blind. Never noticed any performance issues but for having less than 10k on the odometer and just 2 years old...

So I’ve had both banks of lifters replaced in mine at about 2500 miles. Went another 2500 check engine light came back on supposedly had to relearn the cam shaft position sensor. Lasted two weeks came back on apparently they are waiting for GM to rewrite code but they can’t figure out how to fix the issue and that was a month ago with still no update. Good luck

I have a week old 1500 AT4, just threw the P0300 code with 967 miles on the truck, this is my very first GM product, holy crap, why can't American companies build a reliable product?!!  I don't want to drive a Japanese truck, but damn it, American cars are so freaking awful :(   I don't have time in my life to take cars to dealers, if this keeps happening, it's back to Toyota (where I NEVER had a single freaking issue with two of them in over 250,000 miles combined!)

I'm following this thread.  My 2020 Sierra started with the check engine light flashing for 10 seconds.  Dealer puller the p0300 code.  The next day the truck shook with the check engine light and service ECS system.  Restarted the truck it went way.  Too bad I'm at 37K with just over one year of ownership.

      Oil Change

      By Erfar · Posted

      have you stuck with dealer oil changes since then? I made the same switch after getting tired of crawling around under the truck, but I’ve found some dealers are way better than others about getting you in quickly. Curious if yours has been good about scheduling or if you’ve had to look elsewhere for quicker turnaround.

      Can anyone decode a VIN to determine if this truck has had emissions issues or a recall?

      By cherryred21duramax · Posted

      Thank you.   I am set on a 3.0 Duramax as my previous truck with a Ford Ecoboost had just as many, if not more, "common" issues.  Cam phasers, timing chain issues, 10-speed valve body and CDF drum, emissions issues, etc.  So I figured, why not get 2x the fuel mileage (these things got 27+mpg on every mixed city/highway test drive I put them through) and better towing capability with resale value to boot?   My minimum, shortest trip will be 50 miles 1-way and I regularly go out of state with a travel trailer.  I'm planning on using this for a marketing/event promotion business also, which would require regular towing of trailers for bands, DJs, sound and lighting gear, along with my personal camera gear for filming events.   Looked at other trucks in the $30k+ price range but the issues seem to be everywhere, plus too many with gaudy mods.  I'm literally sticking with RWD trucks because they tend to be actually used as trucks, vs. the 4x4 models I've seen with unsafe lifts, huge tires, and general mods that would affect reliability (I'm wondering if some of them were tuned, hence the aggressive throttle response and hard shifting).   So my goal is to find a stock, 3.0 with 1 or 2 owners, in good physical condition, and decently well maintained.  Can't seem to find that up here, everything in the $27-30k range has had multiple owners, smoke smell, issues, or body damage.  Or the ridiculously modified trucks with 80k miles for under $27k but lots of problems...

      OCI, not when but why?

      That’s pretty tough Grumpy. I reread the previous few posts. They all reference oil changes. Much like your last thread. In my humble opinion it keeps things interesting.

      Engine Wear and ISO 4406   1.) Cold Starts. 2.) High Particle Count. 3.) Low operating temperature viscosity and high low temperature cranking viscosity. 4.) Depleted AW, Friction and Acid packages.  5.) High engine load.    https://me.caltexlubricants.com/en_me/home/learning/from-chevron/heavy-duty-diesel-vehicles-and-equipment/The-Importance-of-Clean-Engine-Oil-and-Its-Impact-on-Equipment-and-Business-Performance.html   High particle counts have five sources. 1.) They are manufactured within the engine. Both wear debris and amalgamation of degradation products and combustion driven soot (worse in GDI). 2.) They are ingested via intake air. Ever hear the best oil filter is a good air filter? 3.) They are entrained in the fuel. 4.) This one is insidious. They are introduced in 'fresh oil'. 5.) They are introduced during the oil change.   ISO 4406 is the test that measures and quantifies the combine effects of all of the above particle related issues. You can mitigate your way into multiples of engine life by being attentive to them all.    https://www.hyprofiltration.com/blog/is-new-oil-clean   (from the link above)    [Quote] What Is the Recommended ISO 4406 Cleanliness Code for New Oil?   A good upper limit for new oil cleanliness is 16/14/11 (ISO 4406). Typical new oil usually has ISO codes of 19/17/15 or worse, which is far too dirty for sensitive components. This can be a major cause of degradation and premature failure.
