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

      Transmission Woes :-(

      By No1UKnow · Posted

      Hello All!   My 2019 Colorado 3.6 LT, 4WD Crew Cab has approximately 77,500 miles and I recently began experiencing the well-known transmission shudder between about 30 and 65 mph. The problem had worsened to the point that I could no longer attribute it to road conditions - and I had decided to bring the truck to the dealer - when recently, I experienced a sudden loss of power while driving at maybe 40 MPH. Several warning lights flashed, the “Check Stabilitrack” message appeared, and the Check Engine, Stabilitrack, and Traction Control icons remained illuminated. The truck regained driving power, but it stayed in a low gear with unusually high RPMs for the speed. (limp mode?) Because I was only about two miles from home, driving slowly, I was able to make it back and run an OBD-II scan, which showed fault codes U0101, P0700, and U0100. My next trip in the truck was to drive it to the dealer the following day. That trip began normally, but after about a mile I experienced another loss of power, along with the same warning lights and the same “Check Stabilitrack” message. As before the truck remained driveable, but again operated at an abnormally high RPM-to-speed ratio and seemed stuck in a single gear. About a mile later, the dashboard lit up once more, this time displaying “Check 4WD.” Soon after that, I arrived at the dealer. I have verified that the truck still has its original factory transmission fluid, which means it has never received the corrective fluid exchange outlined in GM Technical Service Bulletin #18-NA-355.  That was Thursday of last week and I've heard nothing yet from the dealer.    According to Technical Service Bulletin #18-NA-355 and the build date of my truck, my truck should have the newer LV fluid. I've done a little research and read something about a problem with the wiring harness as well.   Anyone have an insights into this situation?  Thank you!!

      Gas Prices

      By PhilB · Posted

      Did you even read this article?   Even the title of the article says "U.S.-Iran Deal Doesn’t Mean a Swift Return of Oil and Gas Flows"   Remember, crude oil prices are based on FUTURE purchases by the oil companies.  Gas prices are based on FUTURE purchases by the station.  This article stated that many of the oil producing nations have to restart their processes to get the oil produced.  Then the oil has to be shipped to wherever.  And it doesn't get there overnight.  And most of that oil is not coming here. Check out this site:  https://afdc.energy.gov/data/10621   A graph will pop up to show where the US imports their oil from.  Notice that there isn't a lot of import from OPEC and Iraq.  Most of the US import comes from Canada. The US oil produces are selling their oil on the open market, which is why the US fuel costs went up.  So you're correct, the US oil companies are going to slow walk the price downward.
