I THINK I FIGURED OUT WHY THE PREVIOUS OWNER DUMPED MY TRUCK. I HAD 350,000 MY ON MY OLD 2000 GMC 2500 6.0 SO I WASN'T SCARED OF MILEAGE.BOUGHT THIS BEAUTIFUL 2015 1500 SLT WITH 98K ON IT AND ALMOST IMMEDIATELY LOST AN AFM LIFTER.$1200.00 REPAIR FAST FORWARD 1 YEAR ANOTHER $1200.00 SAME ISSUE (NOW THESE ARE DELCO PARTS THEY DON'T HAVE ANY PROBLEMS WITH)GO ANOTHER 3 DAYS AND ANOTHER LIFTER IS IN 5 PIECES.WELL NOW I AM OUT ANOTHER $3000.00 TO DO A DELETE I SHOULD HAVE DONE IN THE BEGINNING.JUST REACHING OUT TO GET AN IDEA HOW WIDESPREAD THIS ISSUE IS AND IF ANYONE WOULD CARE TO JOIN A CLASS ACTION SUIT AGAINST THEIR HORRIBLE DESIGN.I AM 55 AND HAVE DRIVEN GM ALL MY LIFE I'VE CONTACTED GM CUSTOMER SERVICE AND RECEIVED NOTHING BUT GENERIC RESPONSES"HAVE YOU MADE AN APPOINTMENT WITH OR CONTACTED ON OF OUR DEALERS".YOU CALL A DEALER AND THE PARTS AND SERVICE GUYS KIND OF CHUCKLE AND SAY YOU SHOULD DO A DELETE BUT GM WILL NOT OWN IT. PLEASE REPLY AND I WILL GET THE PARTY STARTED IF I RECEIVE ENOUGH RESPONSE.ALREADY HAVE A LAWYER INTERESTED.

It's not widespread, but it has been an issue reported on here.  If it was widespread we'd be hearing a LOT more about it, that is for sure.  Regardless it is not fun and would piss me off too.  It is the primary reason I will not buy a 2014+ 1500.

Holy wall of caps lock!

 

It's a known issue partially due to AFM wear on the lifters but highly doubt you're going to pull off a class action lawsuit on this one. Hope you get enough responses to at least attempt it though.

I wouldn’t buy a cylinder deactivation engine, a turbo engine or anything with more than a six speed automatic. Doesn’t matter the brand. Just not worth it.

im 27, and even i wouldnt buy anything with 100k unless it was an LBZ duramax. my father has a 2016 LML, and they have issues too. especially with the DPF clogging all stock. 

 

these motors are good. and so are the trucks. i just put efilvie on my 2016 5.3 last week, im at 30k miles, disabled DOD, and if i drop a lifter, im going full LS7 lifters and a cam. 

 

do it once and be done, or dump the truck.

If you don’t mind, what did that run you roughly? 
 

It ran about 825$ for all parts, 500$ labor and another 150$ for fluids

      Conditions for Meeting a Cold Start   The ignition voltage is between 10 and 15 V. The barometric pressure (BARO) is more than 75 kPa. The engine coolant temperature (ECT) at start-up is less than 42°C (108°F). The intake air temperature (IAT) is between 2–32°C (36–90°F). The engine is OFF for greater than 6 hours or the following conditions must be met: The start-up IAT minus start-up ECT are within 12°C (22°F). The start-up ECT minus start-up IAT are within 50°C (90°F). Fuel level is between 25 and 75 %.   Circuit/System Verification Verify that all I/M System Status indicators report YES, and that no I/M Test DTCs are present.If any I/M Test DTCs are set Refer to Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) List - Vehicle. If no I/M Test DTCs are set All OK. Inspection/Maintenance (I/M) System Set Procedure   Warning: Refer to Road Test Warning. Note: Do NOT touch the accelerator pedal until told to do so. A change in TP Sensor angle or an increase in engine speed may invalidate this portion of the test.   Note: An I/M Test DTC will not be stored or erased from the ECU except at the end of trip processing, which occurs 5 s after ignition OFF.   Ensure that the vehicle meets the conditions for a cold start listed above. If the EVAP I/M System Status indicator displays NO, perform the EVAP Service bay test if applicable. Turn OFF all of the accessories; HVAC system, other electrical loads, including aftermarket/add-on equipment, etc., and open the hood.   Set the vehicle parking brake and ensure the vehicle is in park for automatic transmission or neutral for manual transmission.   Start and idle the engine for 2 min.   Close the hood, release the parking brake and Accelerate at part throttle to 72–80 km/h (45–50 mph) with this speed maintained until the engine reaches operating temperature, 8–10 min.   Continue operation under these conditions for an additional 6 min.   Accelerate at part throttle to 90 km/h (55 mph) with this speed maintained for 2 min.   Release the accelerator pedal for at least 10 s. This will allow the vehicle to enter the decel fuel cut off.   Safely stop the vehicle, with the engine in drive for automatic or neutral with the clutch pedal depressed and parking brake applied for manual. Allow the vehicle to idle for 2 min.   Shift the vehicle to park for automatic and neutral for manual. Turn OFF the ignition and exit the vehicle. Do NOT disturb the vehicle for 45 min.   Observe the Inspection/Maintenance (I/M) System Status with a scan tool. All of the I/M System Status indicators should display YES.   If the EVAP I/M System Status indicator displays NO, turn OFF the ignition, ensure that the vehicle meets the conditions for a cold start, and repeat steps 6-11 three more times, or until the EVAP I/M System Status indicator transitions to YES. If the indicator continues to display NO, refer to the Inspection/Maintenance (I/M) System DTC Table to identify the DTCs that did not run.   If any of the I/M System Status indicators display NO, refer to the Inspection/Maintenance (I/M) System DTC Table for the indicator which did not display YES. The I/M System DTC Table identifies the DTCs associated with each I/M System Status Indicator.   Observe the I/M Test DTC information with a scan tool. Verify there are no I/M Test DTCs present. If an I/M Test DTC is set, diagnose the DTC using the Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) List - Vehicle and refer to Inspection/Maintenance System Check.   Observe the engine DTC information with a scan tool. Verify no DTCs are present. If a DTC is set, diagnose using the Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) List - Vehicle. After repairs, perform the Inspection/Maintenance Complete System Set Procedure to verify no further DTCs are set.       Looks like one procedure to me.  Repeated as necessary.

      6.2L L87 Powertrain Engine Noise (Lifter Failure) Question

      By calgator73 · Posted

      My 2020 AT4 6.2 has had the valve spring issue addressed at ~200 miles, front cover/pump replaced at 18k, water pump at 34k and idler pully at 65k.  I would agree with ditching by 100k unless you elect to go with upgraded hardware...say built 10l80 and an lt4 or l8p swap.

      You might find the drive cycle you need somewhere on charm.li (website), otherwise I suggest a subscription to alldata.com to get them for your truck.
