So new here and have a question.  I have a 2021 Silverado with the 6.2.  It runs great but at idle at stop lights etc it has a rough idle almost like a misfire.  I have the afm turned off and it is not equipped with the auto start stop.  I have taken it in to the dealer and the dealer says can not duplicate but it’s very obvious.  I only run 93 octane fuel.  Truck has 4000 miles.  Is this a sign of a lifter failure coming in the future ?  Do these trucks  just idle like this ?  Any help ?

Bought my truck brand new with 5 miles on it.  I mentioned it to the dealer when I test drove it.  He told me they "all do it".  26k miles later and it stills does it, but I'm not worried about it bec

Mine idles like that, I am just getting the high pressure fuel pump replaced under warranty and am hoping this resolves the issue, but I doubt it.

Keep me posted.  How did you get them to at least do that.  When I took mine in they act like they can’t feel it

The 6.2 has DFM, not AFM. How do you have it disabled? I'm guessing it's a post May build since you say it doesn't have auto stop/start.

Puddle of petrol pics on garage floor...lol

Of course they could not replicate leak on rack so I had to mention wife and son having headaches from the gas smell and that theybetter find something to fix.

Praying this was the culprit, post is below yours.

It is normal for the 5.3 and the 6.2.  They all have the rough idle you feel at stops.

I been adding a bottle of this every tank full for the better of the 10,000 miles.  My nephew took one of mine and added to his wife's Cadillac SRX (75,000 miles) and it starting running smoother overnight to the point he bought a couple cases and adds it to every tank in the SRX and his Ecoboost Edge.

That is exactly how mine is.  Have you ever had it in the shop for them to look at that ?  I just hate dealing with the dealerships but dang it’s drives me nuts when it does that.  I feel like a brand new truck should idle smooth

      I did the new thermostat after doing a 'flip' for a year. Runs as cool one way as the other in the summer but in the winter there is a bit of a floor. Yellow with the new 70 C thermostat. My data over the life of the unit to date. Still need more cooler. Anyway that floor helped both winter fuel economy and shift quality in the winter. I found it a good balance.

      Evan Williams Bottled in Bond   So pouring the last of a bottle of Evan Williams Black label last night I set off the the state store for a refill only to be denied the by an empty shelf. Rats.    What the did have was a bottle of Evan Williams Bottled in Bond. 100 proof. Hum, a few bucks more but a known distiller. Lets have a swing at it. ( I have before )    Cracked it open and pour a serving over ice. Hum.... more heat, yes. More alcohol naturally. But the barreling not the proof brings the taste and this one came up short.    Oh is was familiar but the heat ran the barrel over like a Peterbilt runs over a squirrel. Could use a heavier toasting of the oak me thinks or perhaps a longer barreling. Who knows. But what I can say is ice or a water back isn't the answer. What kills one kills them both. Sad. It is a pleasant drink....if you have little to compare it to.

      Bridgestone vs Goodyear tires?

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      I've had exactly one set of Bridgestone. Lasted five year and 125,000 miles and had I known better 15oK would have been a cake walk. I would have bought a like set had they not tripled in price since the first set. I removed them at said mileage with 5/32" remaining in dead even wear all four. They were fuel efficient, quite, comfortable and predictable.    Early on I got a very good alignment checked at least once a year, sometimes twice; kept the tires properly inflated, balanced and rotated. And I've found that many a tire issue can be avoided with great maintenance practices. Lot's of tire dealers will do rotation and balance (simple) for free for as long as you own the tire they sold you so no excuse not to.    Bead prep, alloy integrity and stem health have a huge impact on inflation stability. There are more mountings done poorly that perfectly. Finding a good tire guy is gold and as important as finding a tire you like.    That 3X price increase now two sets of "other tires' later is starting look like a bargain.      Bad maintenance kills more tires than bad tires.

      Wow I'm in a pickle. (Broke down truck) and a story.

      Atlas, you kill me As aggravating as a project like this can be you have been unable to hide your fascination with learning and using that angst against this beast like a Ninjitsu Master. It amuses you, admit it now.      BTW, love your writing style. 😉

      I gotta say, I'm enjoying your narration. The troubles you've been having are amusing as you describe them. It's good to see that you're finally getting some satisfaction out the old beast though.
