At what point do you take truck in for loud lifter noise( every time I take truck in a certain dealership just tells me that whatever issue I'm having that that's just how these trucks run)

I traded truck in got used last year with alot of issues tranny, infotainment, park assist...

I deleted afm b/c it has dual borla exhaust and sounded terrible in v4.

It seams like the lifters are always louder while at idle now, can I run a different oil or additive to quite them down?

I'm sure if I take to same dealership it'll be" normal" as this seams to be there go to thing to tell me since I purchased a extended warranty i feel as tho this is there way of getting out of looking at anything...

The service department told me they want to find and fix issues with vehicles b/c that's how they make alot of money?( Sounds off to me)

Last time there I said I'm taking it to a different dealer, he replied" they will tell you same thing"

?

Feel like I'm getting run around since I gave them my money for extended warranty?

Its in their best interest to only repair vehicles that don't run properly. This saved that profit they made off the extended warranty. So yea they are pushing you off and sounding like they are trying to help. 

You turned AFM off said parts are still there. When it comes time just go all aftermarket parts and be done with it.

Would taking it to a different dealer have better results or b/c I bought extended warranty they'll all try and push me off unless I get a collapsed lifter engine code or a actual part known broken?

So you had a tuner turn the AFM off correct? That means the lifters cam and associated parts are still in the vehicle. And still liable to fail.. Hence loud lifter noises. "If" that is what your experiencing.

I couldn't tell ya how to go about getting GM to fix your issue as I do my own. Even when mine was under warranty. Trust issues...

So you think it's more noticeable.now with afm delete(8 cylinders all the time) because there all 8 lifters in use all the time instead of 4,8,4,8 type scenario?no engine code yet, may not be broken to throw a code possibly just out of adjustment?

I honestly think it would not of made a difference as the same parts inside the engine are still installed. There are threads here where guys turned off the AFM and still had lifter failures and rightfully so as the parts that make it all happen are still used in the engine.

Like I always say its just a matter of when these fail. Kinda like "Wait for it..."

So I may just try a new dealer to see if there more thorough and not give me runaround speech... If lifter collapsed will I get a engine code?

I would assume so as the cylinder Associated will not be able to function as designed. As seen in this vid. ? Same thing only one camshaft.

I did a full afm delete with non afm cam, LS7 lifter, new trays, new head gaskets, new head bolts, did the oil blockers to save $$$ haven’t had a issue, I got a code that cylinder #7 was misfiring also went in limp mod, I spent about 1800$-2000$ can remember but closer to the 2000$ mark with the new fluids and tuneB83F0054-31B2-4B2C-83D3-72C7102FDD23.thumb.jpeg.838d6db10cdc7e88a970e01b09dbafb4.jpeg

How long did it take you to do?  I got quoted $6700 to install a stage 2 cam with the DOD delete kit at my local performance shop.

I paid some youngster from Fort Worth that worked at the Chevy house, he charged me 500$ for labor plus the fluids (let’s say another 100$) he did it over the weekend at his house. I supplied all my parts, at the time I didn’t want to change the stall if I got a different cam, so I kept the cam close to oem/ factory specs without the afm/dod. Lifter 7# collapsed 2 months after putting 5000$ down on it so money was very tight at the time and didn’t have warranty on it

      AFM Experience

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Question @diyer2 on this line if you please. Are you saying the shudder is the system turning on and off at the frequency of the shudder? Guess I'm asking if you are saying you have seen it do this with the bi-direction scan tool in graph mode? If so have you been able to discern the 'trigger'. Something is telling to cycle rapidly.    My truck just started doing this recently. 197K on the clock. My response has been M5 anything under 55 mph. I treat it like a lugging stick shift. Gear down and let it spin a bit. Engauge M5, then tow mode and then M6 lets the trans stay in 5th but the AFM is active. Smooth like Skippy.    My thought was that as a machine ages the friction gets lower and as the system is load based, the lower friction would allow it to turn on at ever lower rpm until it reaches the lugging point. And yes I am ignorant of any minimum rpm requirement for the system. If you know that would be useful information.    As you know I run a Scan-Gauge II which allows me to watch the On/Off of the signal to the VLOM. While in the shudder mode I'm not seeing is cycle at that frequency or at all for that matter outside the triggers @newdude posted a few years back. Now is it possible that the refresh rate isn't fast enough to catch it? Maybe. It is why I asked my first question about graphing and trigging parameter.     As we have observed from members here the failure point is all over the map miles wise as you note yourself in your opening post. That by itself begs a few questions like fellows that comment on these lifters failing even after the system has been disabled. Long after. 😬   https://www.enginelabs.com/news/tech-tips-replacing-ls-active-fuel-management-lifters-with-melling/   The Gen5 lifters operate the same as the LS versions. In fact they are the same lifter.    https://www.enginelabs.com/tech-stories/sorting-out-gen-v-lt-lifter-failure-with-a-simple-valvetrain-fix/

      14-18 Sierra 1500 Heated Steering Wheel Help

      By SwitchBladeSierra · Posted

      UPDATE 2: Steering wheel control backlights and control of the cluster can supposedly be achieved by adding a wire to pin 20 of the cluster and tapping it to pin 2 of the main clock spring harness. I'm going to give it a shot - will update

      Seems to be Missing a lot of Updates

      By newdude · Posted

      GM Global A pickups 2019-2022 can do OTA programming for the radio.  GM VIP (GM Global B) can do OTAs for almost every module on board.  So a 2022.5 and newer pickup can do OTAs for recalls like the 2.7 fuel flow recall.  EVs get OTAs that improve one pedal driving, radio issues, HVAC issues, updated battery management software, etc.     So age of the vehicle/what GM electrical platform its on will alter what amount of updates can be pushed on OTAs.

      Upgrade to a 2026 AT4 with the 3.0L Duramax

      By Blade8971 · Posted

      Thank You.   So far my new ride is making me look like a genius for going with the 3.0L, as my first fuel refill occurred over three weeks from when I took delivery.  This engine combination is very amazing.  So far no issues and had not done a regen yet.

      Correct way to service 2024 l8t allison trans?

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      I am curious as to how much fluid you put back in the transmission ( assuming you had replaced the filter to compare to my findings ) and then went through the process of warming up the trans before pulling the check plug to drain out the excess and if you measured how much came back out.    I just found it surprising that some claimed a certain amount less fluid being put in and then draining some back out. The attitude of the truck as per if the surface is level and how the trucks stance is would make quite a difference since the check plug is right at the front of the transmission.
