When my injectors went out last year I got the last ones available in my area. That was around October, they were struggling to catch up then and now COVID really screwed them up.

I recently got some off ebay to change them out on the wife's truck. A buddy went to the junk yard and pulled some. It was a risk but it worked out for him.

Hey Mark I just purchased a 2017 Denali Ultimate Package and two weeks later I got a check engine light come on. Local dealership said it was an injector problem so I went ahead and took it back to the dealership where I made the purchase of the vehicle. Whats confusing is that the only symptom I noticed was a rough idle on cold start I really never noticed any loss in power or misfire. Yes they also told me that there is no ETA on the injectors as well. Has anyone else had this problem and if so did exchanging the injectors fix the problem for good.

Any luck on locating injectors?  My 2015 5.3L has at least one bad injector...I plan to change all eight.  Hard to believe there are no other mfg's making these.  There should be a recall. This will be my last GM vehicle.

This listing might not contain exactly what you need, but I bought all 8 injectors from this seller last year when I swapped mine out. They know their stuff and they are brand new OEM injectors. They can confirm which set you need by your VIN. Mine have performed flawlessly in the ~30k miles since installing them. https://www.ebay.com/itm/Set-of-8-BRAND-NEW-OEM-Fuel-Injectors-GM-Trucks-5-3L-2014-17-12668390/192169388605?hash=item2cbe302a3d:g:98IAAOSw37BaV3Bf

Thanks so much! I'll be ordering these tomorrow. Question, do they come with the seals installed on the tip of the injectors?  Was it a pain to switch these out?  I watched a Youtube video and the Tech made it look pretty easy.  I've turned a few wrenches back in the day but the only worries I have is with the injectors being stuck. I would hate to have to replace the rails too. Thanks again!

I assume you mean the two teflon seals on the tip that goes into the intake...yes they were on mine when they arrived. I asked the same thing before I ordered mine and they confirmed they are new and I won't have any seal issues. I would ask the seller before you buy just to have peace of mind. The gasket on the other end of the injector is a standard rubber o-ring. Mine came with those as well, but would be super cheap to buy them if they arrived without them.

Just received 8 new injectors from the same guy! Thanks for the lead!  It's nice to that each set of injectors are flow tested and matched!  Now I have to decide if I want to tackle this myself or pay someone!  It's literrally Hot as Hell in Geaogia right now!

Happy to help. You inspired me to finally get my How-To posted on replacing fuel injectors. I couldn't find a write-up on how to do it when I replaced mine last year, so I wrote one myself. Give it a read and decide if this is something you want to tackle yourself.

Thanks for the write up!!!! It was very detailed and along with the diagrams and parts numbers, this will make the job so much easier for many people like myself!

      Brand new to this forum. Questions about re-gearing my 26’ HD

      By BDS my HD · Posted

      Hello hello looking forward to expanding my knowledge of the 2026 2500 HD that I just bought.   Truck has 3500 miles on it four-wheel-drive crew cab and I’m about to put a 6 1/2 inch BDS lift on it 18 x 10 -25 offset with 37’s   Already have the wheels and tires just waiting on the lift install in about three weeks   Question what surprises am I not gonna be happy with?  I’m not new to lifted trucks so I know that acceleration towing gas mileage all that is affected..   Question is those of you that have this truck this powertrain with a 10 speed Allison and have done the mods that I’m doing,,, how bad is it? Is that Allison constantly gonna be hunting for the right gear to go into? And what about towing, acceleration, fuel consumption as mentioned?    Lastly how come I can’t find any ring pinion gear set up for these axles and when could I expect to see them?   I apologize if there’s any typos I’m doing speech to text on my iPhone.

      2013 2500HD 6.0L intermittent no crank no start

      By linc45bn · Posted

      I've got a 2013 2500 6.0L Flexfuel. Drove the truck earlier today with no issues. Went to run an errand tonight and noticed key fob wouldn't work. Figured battery was dead, so replaced fob batter. Still wasn't working. Grabbed my other set of keys with the other fob and that one wasn't working either. So I manually unlock truck and insert key. Interior lights come on, dashboard lights up, turn key and truck starts. Turn truck off, like a moron, and try starting again. This time no crank, no click, no nothing. Lights still come on and dash lights up, but now I'm getting a service 4wheel drive, service tire monitor, etc. Check voltage on battery and Im showing 12.2v. Throw my battery charger on it and give it 15 mins and try starting again. But still no crank no start. Decide maybe its a bad battery, run to autozone grab a new one and put it in. Same issue. Disconnect battery and let it sit for 15 mins. Try again and still nothing. I had managed to roll the windows down earlier as its a humid night, but now I can't get them to roll up. Power locks are also not working now. Then randomly I try the key again, and it fires right up. Immediately I roll up the windows as we have nothing but rain forecast this week. I shut it back off wait 30 seconds and start up again. Worked a 2nd time. So turn it off, start putting things back together. Try one more time, and back to no crank no start. And now the car alarm starts going off. Had to disconnect battery and leave it that way for the night as I don't think my neighbors would appreciate my alarm going off again tonight. Any thoughts or help would be appreciated.

      GMC 1500 Illuminated Front Grill Emblem REPLACEMENT.

      By Peoplemvr · Posted

      Hi there.  Long time lurker, first post.    i have read the previous posts regarding the water ingress problem with this emblem.  I bought my 1500 SLT the  summer of 2025 new and after reading the MANY problems with these emblems failing I decided to install one anyways.  As per a YouTube video, I sealed ( or tried to) this sign with silicone sealant around the outer perimeter joint and the holes that were already somewhat sealed on the rear plate of the emblem.  And installed the connector assembly using dielectric grease on the connectors. The installation looked great and worked well for about 4 months……then FAILURE.  Grrrrrr…… I live in the great white north and wash my truck weekly in an automatic car wash  to keep the salt off.  Let me tell you that removing the old, failed emblem is a whole different animal than removing the OEM individual letters without removing the grill assembly. Mainly because the illuminated logo is built differently than the original letters which  you can remove the red surface lettering with a knife or some kind of blade which gives access to the tabs which hold the logo onto the grill. So I had to essentially destroyed the old emblem to remove it. Doing so killed my chance of doing somekind of autopsy on the failed , old logo.  But there was plenty of water inside when I ripped it apart.  Prior to installing the new assembly I tried it with the old harness and it works fine.   Does anyone have any insight as to where the water is getting into this emblem? I intend to seal the new logo with slow curing epoxy this time around using a syringe.  I think this newer emblem may be an updated unit which I hope GM got the vendor to fix. It has an October 2025 date on it.    If this one  fails,  I am just going to revert back to the non-illuminated letters….AFTER PULLING THE GRILL.    Any thoughts on sealing with epoxy would be appreciated. Thx!   Doug
