P050D X 2

Hi All,

 

At 46,032 miles the check engine light came on. Took to my usual service center.  They did a fuel injector flush service and this remedied the problem for a few days.

Light comes back on, same error.  I ran a tank of premium fuel through the engine - light goes off.

At 47,300 miles the check engine light is back on.  Checked the code = P050D X2.

Took to the local GMC dealer  - "Performed fuel injector balance test. All bank 1 injectors low". 

Repair estimate attached. 

 

Is this common for 4 injectors to go bad simultaneously on one bank?   Or can there be another problem?

 

The truck has a 5.3 engine. 

Per the service manager this is not covered under any warranties. 

 

The truck runs fine- quick start and no discernable hesitations or unusual engine noises.  

 

Any direction on a remedy would be greatly appreciated.

 

Regards,

 

John

The only thing I can think of is they got dirty, but why it only affected one side, I can't say. Also, I'm not sure how this couldn't be covered under the powetrain warranty, if the truck still has one.

I'd say it's time for a second opinion.

Bad injectors, common issue on the 2014+ trucks. While I agree it should be covered under the 5yr/60k warranty or the 8yr/80k emissions warranty it seems GM only covers them under the 3yr/36k warranty.

 

You can buy and replace all of the injectors with new ones for about half of the dealers quote. It is actually a pretty easy job to do yourself.

Sunday, February 28, 2021.pdfSunday, February 28, 2021 (2).pdfHI All,

 

Thanks for taking time to respond to my post - here is the latest update;

The dealer replaced the bank one injectors 1,3,5 and 7. This was $1,100 out of pocket  A few days later I was driving and was overwhelmed by the smell of gas.  Pulled over, popped the hood and there was fuel leak.   Was only  2 miles from the dealer so I drove there and dropped if off.  The problem was a leak at # 7 injector.  Dealer repaired this at no charge.  While in the shop they diagnosed a problem with the #6 lifter which they repaired under warranty  Sunday, February 28, 2021.pdfSunday, February 28, 2021 (2).pdf

I was informed by the service manager that the p050d code flashed and the now I am being told all of bank 2 injectors need to be replaced.  The truck has 48,000 miles on it.  The truck is still at the dealership and I am driving a courtesy car.  The service manager has escalated this to GM corporate in an effort to find some relief.  Standing by for now albeit very frustrated.

This happened to me on my 2017 too at 34k miles but out of 3 year warranty. I had one injector gone.

 

Dealership told me to replace all 8 straight away as it would happen again so I did (after reading about it on here it popped up a couple of times if all of them didn’t go). Been running ok now for a few thousand miles. Ended up costing me around $2.2k.

 

Are you of those emissions States that followed California in emissions regs? If so you might be able to have it done free.

I have a 2017 Silverado 6.2, crew cab with 14,587 miles. It was bought Nov. 30,2017. It is out of 3year 36 warranty.  I to have a p050d code. I have an appointment for Wednesday to my dealer. If this is normal for this to happen, I'm  getting rid of this truck. I use top tier, premium fuel from Arco. I take great care of my truck and have hD my dealer changed the oil three times so far. Is there better injectors or is this the way Direct Injection is.

SOUNDS REAL EXPENSIVE IF THIS HAPPENS EVERY 15,000 MILES!!!

There is a special GM bulletin out there that states in certain states the fuel injectors are covered for 150K mile or 10 years. 

 I have a 2017 with the 5.3 liter and have what the dealer says is 3 bad injectors. 28500 miles and out of the 3 year bumper to bumper and not covered in the great state of Texas, GMs biggest market.

GM is aware of the problem , yet won't stand behind their product.

Why are we as consumers taking this from GM?

IT'S TIME TO RAISE HELL!!!

Time to get a new non GM truck too.

Mine is a 2017 Silverado with 14,450 miles. I'm out of the 3-36 so mine aren't  covered under warranty. I can't see how these deteriorate sitting in my garage and are causing the P050D code. I don't see this being a good scenario in the long run. Certainly a costly one and I only use premium top tier fuel from Arco, here in Ca.,

ANY SUGGESTIONS?

If you are in Cali. you maybe covered on injectors. I would check with dealer I thought I seen somewhere that in Cali. injectors fell under a special coverage bulletin. 10  years or 150k miles sure can't hurt to ask.

Yep! Mine are covered under a 10 year 150000 mile special coverage for 2016 and 2017 only years for 5.3 and 6.2.

What a relief! 

Good luck to all in your endeavors.

Hey I told you about the special bulletin. Did it fix your problem?

      No Software Updates - Old Build

      Thanks, all. It sounds like keeping the software "as is" is the best course of action.

      https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Overengineering   Excerpt from the above link: (BTW the above is a 90 second read)   [Quote]   A story about very precise engineering is given in the 1858 story The Deacon's Masterpiece or, the Wonderful "One-hoss Shay": A Logical Story by Oliver Wendell Holmes Sr., which tells of a carriage (one-horse shay) Because it had been engineered so that no single piece failed first – no piece was over-engineered relative to the others, and they thus all collapsed at the same time. A similar quote by Ferdinand Porsche claimed "the perfect race car crosses the finish line in first place and immediately falls into pieces."[5]   [End Quote}   By Engineering's  own definition then; the AFM and Torque Converters, 4-5-6 clutch assembly of the 6L80E, and a dozen other common chronic parts and systems failures are "UNDER ENGINEERED". And by their own definition done so with INTENT. Ya can't have it both ways OEM's.

      Broke Down on the Mountain

      By Gangly · Posted

      I was in Utah this week attempting a bow hunt in the Wasatch mountains with friends.  On the evening of the first hunt, making my way across a ridge to a friends camp, the upper control arm on the driver's side separated, the CV axle got trashed, and the wheel was dang near at a 45 degree angle to the ground.  I was able to get it towed off the mountain and into town about 3:00 am, and spent the remainder of the night in an O'Reilly's parking lot.  Luckily, there was a Chevrolet dealership not to far away so I was able to get to the dealership and pick up a new CV and UCA.  It would have been a few days before they could have gotten to the truck and I brought tools with me on hunt since it was a two day drive to get there, so I did the repairs myself in the O'Reilly's parking lot.      What's interesting is that the UCA ball joint didn't break, it just popped out of the bottom of the UCA.  There was VERY LITTLE evidence of grease on the ball joint or in the socket, and you could see where the ball joint had warbled out part of the socket over time.  I guess that's what happens over 186K miles of use :)   Big Kudos to O'Reilly's for letting me work on the truck in their parking lot.  However, they made a $150+ off of me from the purchase of various tools, so I guess it was in their best interest anyways :)   Getting towed off the mountain.   UCA Ball Joint Socket   Trashed CV   Suspension disconnected and UCA and CV Removed   New UCA and CV installed with the suspension buttoned up.

      What did you do to your "other" car (aka musclecar) today

      My family still laughs at me when they see me drive up in the minivan. Same with less than a V-8 truck. It helps that I have choices. I don’t think I could only have a minivan as the one and only vehicle as much as I like it. And I wouldn’t pass up a good buy on an older V-8 reg cab GM truck. Could you live Raven as the only ride?
