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.

Have you tried injectors cleaning products?

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!

      My First Project and GMC has me stumped

      By davester · Posted

      are there any codes? with lots of rust, perhaps disconnect/clean both sides of the connection/examine cable ends (the wires) for corrosion going into the sheath & replace if necessary/reconnect ALL the power AND ground cables between the battery, engine, frame, cab, fuse box and starter charm.li (website) has a no-start diagnostic procedure you can work through to get it working.

      OCI, not when but why?

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Its no wonder you've gravitated to the oil types and brands you have in later years after trying certain brands and one being a specialty oil or at least very hard to come by up here and the other would have been a commonly found oil of the era and the vastly different outcomes as a result to using the vehicles in question the same distance for an OCI . It shows what marketing hype can do without actually having the product to back up the claims and that is no different now with the insane claims that are written on the side of a bottle of oil from some of the off the shelf oils.    What has surprised me and I was already finding this out before I bought my truck with the GDI engine, that this newer fancy technology that seemingly would suggest better fuel economy/emissions with this high pressure spray of fuel is not in reality kind at all to the engine or at least the oils life. Yet they insist on claiming long OCI with this technology just like they did with the port or similar type fuel injection systems when in reality its a step back in oil life to have a GDI system.    I think the mistake your making Grumpy is that your not sending your samples to Blackstone and getting the feel good glowing report that you can run it another 1000 or more miles and then send another sample where they say run it yet another 1000 miles and on and on it goes until your sending in something that looks a lot like road tar and then they may suggest you change your oil within the next 1000 miles 😆

      I am guessing that engines of that design back then had a better ability to be abused and survive longer than a new design engine with the long timing chain and the overhead cams and phasers etc. But I would never guess that an engine could go that far and not fail spectacularly or at least die a slow death.

      In the 80's 90's I'd run Honda's 7,500 miles between changes using Red Line HP 5W20 and do it for hundreds of thousands of miles with issues. Back in the day it was an SAE 20 with the HTHS of a SAE 30 and SN add load. It was also very polar. Oxidation VOA was over 120. Besides those motors were SPFI and lean burn tech. I could have likely run it longer but never did.    We had a Toyota bought new I ran on Pennzoil's latest and greatest synthetic of the day with "Penthane". A made up word for a very low dose of PAO. Tried 7,500 mile OCI's in that Group III/VI chemistry and the rings tapped out at 90K. Rocker box wasn't as bad as the one Punch put up but it wasn't good either. Also a SPFI motor.    I'm around 3,750 across the board on these GDI monsters and the oil it tapped out by then usually on TBN/TAN crossover and color. Red Line HP Euro.    The AMSOIL SS brochures tell you to follow the OEM values for the service class but that it can be run up to 25K if monitored. I can't imagine what motor could go that distance and not tap out. I've never owned one.    Yes, I know. Lot's of people do. I'm just not going to be one of them.

      I knew a guy in the early 80's that bought a new Monte Carlo and ran it a 100,000 miles without ever changing the filter or the oil. Just kept adding. It looked like that inside.
