OVER MY GMC SIERRA

[15TV]

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.

10/4 THANKS FOR THE RESPONSE.I JUST FIGURED SINCE JUST ABOUT EVERYONE THAT SOLD THE DELETE KITS WERE HAVING TROUBLE GETTING CAMSHAFTS THERE WERE A LOT OF FOLKS HAVING THE SAME ISSUE.JASPER NOW OFFERS A REMAN NOW WITHOUT THE AFM/DOD.GOT TO BE A REASON FOR THAT.

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.

Should went with the afm/dod delete and non afm cam, did it at 73000miles I’m at 102,070miles now. It been a year with no problems at all plus u can find a cheap tune up turn off the V4 mode, I have no more then about 1600$ with installation (less then 2000$) I gotta 2024 Silverado Lt happened when I bought mine too after giving 5000$ down (I was gonna end up doing it either way)

So did they fix all of our issues and actually go back and redesign the garbage T1 interiors?

 

Pics or it didn't happen.

I HAD THE AFM DISABLED WITH A DIABLO TUNER WHEN I HAD ALL THE PROBLEMS.DELETE HAS BEEN DONE TO THE TUNE OF ABOUT $3000.00.I CANT BELIEVE YOU BOUGHT ANOTHER ONE  ! I USED TO LAUGH AT THE FORD GUYS THAT BRAGGED HOW BULLET PROOF THEIR JUNK WAS AFTER HAVING TO PUT $10,000.00 IN THE MOTOR.I AM IN THE WOODS AL LOT , GETTING OLDER AND JUST WANTED A NICER RIDE THAN THE 2500 OFFERED BUT IF  I STAY WITH GM I WILL HAVE TO GO WITH A DURAMAX AND DEAL WITH THE BUMPY RIDE OF THE 2500.SORRY ABOUT ALL CAPS WHERE I WORK WE JUST LEAVE IT ON SO CUSTOMERS CAN READ IT EASIER I'M NOT YELLING.LOL

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

[Frankielozano214]

Oh yeah make sure u get a tune to turn off the V4 mode I messed up my catalytic converters ended up buying the whole why pipe for 200$ and 125$ to install because I didn’t get that done after the afm delete... gotta ok tune for 140$ locally not the best but its good for what I use my truck for not street racing or any of that
