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.

      2026/2027 Suburban — confirming AS3 bench delete with standard MagRide/Adaptive

      By newdude · Posted

      Here's the 2026 order guide - Vehicle Order Guide   RPO code "AS3"?  Not seeing it.  What is it supposed to be?  I see AS3 used a long time ago as some sort of seat option, but its not applicable to the current Suburban.    I see RPO code "AZ3" which is 1st row 40/20/40 split bench.  That is only on LS trim, which LS can't option any of the trick suspension.     2nd row bench power fold RPO code is "ATT".  So your dealer should be able to sort their locator to find matching builds by searching the combo of ATT and Z95 combined to find a 2nd row power fold with MagRide.     You can do the 2nd row power bench AND have MagRide, or Mag with Air on Z71, RST and High Country.     Here's a Z71 with 2nd row power bench and the Z71 Off Road Package which adds the Adaptive Air and MagRide - 2026 Suburban | Details | Vehicle Locator   Here's an RST with 2nd row power bench and the RST Capability Package, and RST Capability adds the Adaptive Air with Magride - 2026 Suburban | Details | Vehicle Locator   I can't find a High Country, but you can do it on there.  Requires the 6.2, and the Sun and Tow pack which allows you to then option the 2nd row power fold.  Black interior only.  High Country comes standard with MagRide and you can order the air if you get the High Country Deluxe, but Deluxe will take you to captain 2nd row.       You can do it at GMC on the AT4 and the regular Denali (not Ultimate) as well.

      Looking at ordering a '26 WT because I want a std cab, std bed

      By newdude · Posted

      So.  Get this.  On the Chevy regular cab, you can get the factory remote start at the dealer from the accessories catalog.  BUT.  GMC, you can't.   Now...get this...GMC 2 door, you CAN get the power seat.     Go.  Figure.   Anywho.  are you trying to order?  Or locate?  Ordering for 2 door 1/2 tons has been stopped as of April or May?  So you won't be able to order.  You'll have to shop on the ground units or in transit units.     Ordering was stopped because the new trucks are coming.

      Tonneau cover that does not leak water

      By cherryred21duramax · Posted

      Thank you.  I really appreciate the well wishes.  I'm an engineer in the telecom industry, I know hardly anything about marketing.  Over the years I did some videos for nonprofits and web sites for small businesses and the seed was planted.  Agree with over-buying, I started shooting on an iPhone before I got my first DSLR and tripod.   I'm looking at trucks with potentially 150,000+ miles to keep the cost of entry low while focusing on the client experience and equipment.  Good wireless mics for interviews, the right lenses & lighting to look professional.  But I don't want to be late or break down, the stress of emptying a trailer & securing a rental truck right before a gig would negate any savings from buying a junker.  So anything that leaks water, has extensive rust, or generally unreliable I'd like to avoid.   Does GM/Chevy overbuild these trucks for upfitting?  I talked to a local upfitter, they sometimes tie lights & other 12V into existing circuits, which I always thought was bad.  Which is why I enjoyed the AUX upfit switches on previous trucks (odd they mostly come with off-road or work truck packages).

      By silveradosid · Posted

      i guess it might be depending on the type of driving. my 2.7 has 120k miles, changed the plugs at 70k and it runs as good as new. i have not used any injector cleaner

      GM's are stainless and have a fairly robust powder coating, although, still not worth $850 in my opinion. They will hold up a lot better than their cheaper steel aftermarket counterparts.   What I like about the GM step bars is dealers will often equip their dealer stock with them. Lots of margin. Which means a lot of people end up buying them because they're already on the truck, even if they don't like them. So it's pretty easy to find brand new takeoffs with hardware on Marketplace and Craigslist for about $250.   That's what I did for my crew cab. I wanted ZR2 rock rails for the look, but with the ability to bolt up GM's assist step package. From GM it's about a $2500 accessory all in. The old folks in my life can't get in the truck without steps. I found the whole package on marketplace for $180.
