I got a 2017 SIlverado 5.3L V8. Got it in January, and around April or so I had a misfire. Brought it to dealer and they switched coils around and stopped misfiring. Misfired again month or so later so got all my plugs replaced. Didnt work and also got CEL for EVAP so replaced all the EVAP stuff and it misfired again few weeks later. Threw Sea Foam through it and into the fuel as well. Misfired again few days later. Its popping up as a random misfire and it only happens on the highway (around 70 MPH or so). Not sure where to look to fix next. Bringing it back to dealer but also dont want them to say they cant recreate the misfire and dont know what to do. Was thinking maybe bad wire, coil, o2 sensor, maf, or crankshaft sensor. I guess it could be fuel injector too but not sure. Anyone else have this kind of misfire wild goose chase?

What was the new code? P0300 is a misfire but does say what cylinder. You really need to see the does code(s) otherwise your chasing a ghost, IMO. Just buy a cheap bluetooth OBDII dongle (see link below) & plug into the OBDII socket at the bottom of the dash. Download "TORQUE (lite) app to you phone, connect to OBDII & read your code(s) & log them. I'd clear codes & see what comes back. That's a start for now. Report back & someone will guide you to a possible fix. At this point you don't have enough information to know what & where to check.

How many miles on your truck? Do you have any maintenance records?

17's do not have gas caps, they have the capless system.

True, but when I first bought my truck, first thing they had to do was repair the capless tank flap.
Those can go bad, too.

True, just part of the joys of buying used, not knowing the full history.

And, exactly why I bought the 5 year extended warranty.
Still deciding if that was a good deal as I haven't had to use it, yet.
But, I do get free oil changes for life! woohoo! (I think) :D

That is never a bad thing, most warranties will buy out the balance (prorated) if you want out because you don't think you will ever use it. 

 

New or used, you just never know, this my 3rd new K2, with the first 2 having tons of problems.

 

100 has been a really great truck so far.

      2 speed transfer case optional now?

      By newdude · Posted

      This is a 1/2 ton thing ONLY.  All HDs 2020-2026 have the two speed transfer case, with Autotrac as an option.     1/2 tons 2019-2026, regular 4x4s come with a single speed case (no 4LO!), and trucks with Z71 ordered, or all Trail Boss trucks come with the 2 speed case.  2 speed case is also an option on WT, and is also standard on High Country.

      Different requirements for oil filters?

      By newdude · Posted

      2013 5.3 still to this day calls for the PF48 filter.  Which as a 15psi bypass pressure.     There is a TSB, 17-NA-157 that talks about the PF-63 and PF-64 filters which have a higher bypass rating of 22psi.    TSB HERE - temp.xml   "Beginning in 2012, the oil pumps began to regulate main gallery feedback instead of pump out pressure. This means that the oil pump now does not begin to regulate until pressure is built up to the main gallery. This change reduces the amount of time it takes to provide oil to the engine bearing and lifters during extreme cold start conditions.  Main gallery feedback oil pump control systems are present on the following engine families which use Spin-on oil filters: Small Gas Engine (SGE), Large Gas Engine (LGE), High Feature (HFV6) Gen2 and Small Block Gen5 gasoline engines. These engines with the main gallery feedback oil pump control systems are factory built with an ACDelco® oil filters"   It also calls out what engines use those filters.  The gen 4 small blocks were not on that list (LMG, LC9, L9H, L92, L94, L20, L96).  Gen 5 small blocks use the higher pressure filter.          That all said...   Your 7045 Napa filter is the PF63 equivalent, with 22psi bypass.  You are already using the higher bypass pressure filter.  You CAN keep using it, you don't technically have to use it though.

      Do you know WHY the filter relief setting was increased to 22 psig?    When the new system goes into the second stage the pump volume ramps up considerably. It was found that the 15 psi filter bypass setting put the filter in bypass on a warm engine when the second stage was activated. Raising the filter bypass setting forced the filter to do what it designed to do. Filter. Preventing debris from circulating during high load, high rpm operation.    So next question is how did GM find this out? VLOM/lifter failures and a deep dive by Melling Corp.    Last question. Is it required? Look at it like this; a motor may be equipped with a rev limiter. But it only works if the set point in reached. That 22 psig setting only matters if the pressure differential across the filter media exceeds 15 psig during normal warm operation. Second stage kicks in around 3000-3500 rpm.    I can't answer your question because I don't know you and how you use the truck. But I think there is enough information here to let you decide for yourself. 😉

      2020 Trailboss 6.2 replacement

      By newdude · Posted

      Probably not their first rodeo, so it should go as planned most likely.  Typically the service manager or tech doing the swap will put some seat time to shake it down after they get it all put back together.  We usually put 50-100mi before we hand them back so if something happens, its not after you get it.  A coolant leaks, oil leaks, a ground left off or loose, vibration, etc.     The new engines so far have been good?  There's been a couple that have popped out there again (the replacement engine) but most have been okay.
