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

      I could be interested if they axed cylinder deactivation and at least have a button for stop start. I’m sure the HP numbers will be higher. I would want a longer warranty to help build confidence. I’m a less is more guy as I get older. A V-8 work truck model would be my choice. I know a few outfitters for custom additions I prefer.

      2027 GMC Sierra: Official Discussion

      By Zane · Posted

      It's official. GMC pulled the covers off the next-gen 2027 Sierra 1500, and we got the first official look. Full breakdown here: https://www.gm-trucks.com/next-gen-2027-gmc-sierra-1500-v8-trim-changes/   The quick hits: SLE and SLT are dead. The new core retail trim is just called "Elevation". Two new V8s, a 5.7L and a 6.6L built with high-performance Corvette architecture roots. No horsepower or torque numbers yet. The 2.7 TurboMax finally ditches the old gearbox and gets the 10-speed automatic. AT4X moves to larger standard 35-inch tires with front and rear e-lockers, Multimatic DSSV dampers, and heavy-duty Jounce Control Dampers. Over 60 inches of combined display on Denali Ultimate and AT4X, complete with a motorized articulating center screen and an adaptive passenger screen. Seven simplified trims across the entire model line to clean up ordering confusion.   So let's get into it: New 5.7L and 6.6L gas V8s with custom active exhaust tuning and a Corvette connection. Is this the exact engine lineup half-ton traditionalists have been begging for? Purging the iconic SLE and SLT names after all these years to lean entirely on Elevation as the high-volume core. Bold move, or a mistake? That motorized articulating 16.3-inch screen that slides up to reveal a hidden dashboard vault. Awesome mechanical theater, or does it make you nervous about long-term durability? Physically lowering the headlamps in the front fascia to improve road courtesy and stop blinding oncoming traffic. Smart real-world engineering, or does it hurt the truck's aggressive stance? What trim are you putting your name down for on day one? Drop your first impressions below.

      My overnight hospital stay turned into five.  I developed a post operative fever and an erratic  heart rate.  A blood clot in the lungs was the culprit.  This is apparently a common post surgical complication and easily remedied.   I was the youngest in a four bed ward and a Doctor with a Geriatric specialization was in charge of my care.  All of the nurses were good and some were outstanding at dealing with old people.  It was very evident that my age triggered a different level of care!  My advice to any senior going for a hospital stay is to have a trusted family member advocate visible.  If not, you will still be well cared for, but you may discover that your voice  isn't as strong as it once was!
