Disabled by the actual Pulsar LT or the Range AFM/DFM disabler? The AFM/DFM doesn't work on the 2019+ 10 speed trucks per their website: The AFM/DFM Disabler is NOT currently compatible with 2019+ 5.3L 10-speed or 6.2L 10-speed models.

I had the same question on my 6.2. Was about to run a “cleaner” through but checked fuel trims to see if injectors were dirty, after 40k miles, they’re nearly perfect…. So unless there’s some other fuel related issue, they probably just idle a little rough.

 

fwiw, my afm is disabled

Ok thank you I might try some of that amsoil fuel treatment and see if that helps

My point in writing was that the motor is running perfect if fuel trim is near zero.

 

not sure what may be causing idle to seem rough but I don’t think there’s any problems or any fuel related system to be cleaned.

So I looked further into it and seems mine is the motor mounts.  I found a service bulletin out for it and says they are either faulty or need shims.  Taking it in Monday and I’ll keep everyone posted

Motor mounts don't help.  I had to show the dealer that the truck had rough idle when in gear.  They were observing in Park and it ran smooth.  Traded the day after motor mounts didn't fix it.  2018 GMC 5.3L 8peed 4wd.  Did the rough idle from 300 miles on.  They wanted me to pay to have the fuel system cleaned at 35900 miles.  I explained it was doing the rough idle on the first tank of fuel.

 

Currently have 2021 GMC with 3.0 duramax.  I have had enough of the GM gas engines. This one doesn't always start on the first try, but runs smooth as silk when its running.

Did you have your motors mounts replaced ? And it didn’t help ? Ugh so frustrating.  Mine vibrates so bad when in park and in drive.  On the highways it’s smooth

yes, they replaced the motor mounts.  No difference.  Treating a symptom of the skip doesn't fix the problem.  I believe its a known issue that they don't consider to be a problem.  It was embarrassing when passengers noticed it.  Only issue that truck ever had, I was happy with it overall.  But I am glad its gone.

I'm on my 3rd 6.2 since 08, this one is the smoothest (21 6.2) with foot on brake, but still has a little shake from time to time.  When I was getting the 08 tuned Justin mentioned to me that the truck is idling at some stupid low RPM and like lpg mentioned adding a little RPM will smooth it right out.  He added a little to show me and then went super smooth, but then set back to stock range.  If you leave the stupid stop/start on less shake time haha.

      Pulsating Noise 4Cyl Mode

      By zibzer2 · Posted

      2017 Silverado L83 5.3l 6speed transmission Hello, not a new member but havent posted in a while and my old signup info isnt working so had to create a new account. anyways, I have an issue with my truck and hope someone can spread some light on whats happening: -when it goes to 4cyl mode it makes a clunk sound (but not when coasting or going downhill) -when in 4 cyl mode and under load it makes a load pulsating sound (not a tick). -goes away completely when in M5 gear or when plugging in an AFM delete. Im guessing it is one of 2 things but im not convinced of either to be honest. 1. lifter stuck in v8 mode 2. torque converter shudder realistically it doesn't seem like the TC as there is no physical vibration , and it never happens in v8 mode. but maybe? and wouldnt a lifter make a sound whether with load or not? any ideas let me know please. thank you!

      Some Assembly is Required

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Which has made me wonder with the various engine failures of a few brands in the last few years, is it sub par materials such as lifters etc causing failures, or bearing clearances on the crank etc or perhaps bad designing of an engine physically or causing too much load on the components due to the hp/torque they can push out of them. Or is the oil viscosity and additive package of current oils or a lack of oil flow by an oil pump not able to supply sufficient oil at idle or under high load at low rpm. Or is it every item I listed that combined together has pushed the limits so far to the left that there is hardly a margin of safety left and add in some fuel dilution and too long of an OCI and premature engine failure is the result ?.

      He is not saying that an SAE *W20 will have more viscosity than a *W40 due to MORE VII polymers. He is saying that although multiple *W40 may post in the PDS the same or similar 100 C and 150 C viscosities that the blenders choice of modifier TYPE and AMOUNT to get his chosen base to grade will not give identical real world viscosities in shear and at temperature. All will pass the SII test but not all will pass the 100 C HTHS (unpublished value) testing the blender does and relies on to get the required by law "percentage improvement' referenced to his last great work.    Tis the problem with the lie. Once told others are required to support it.

      Parking Brake - Automatic Engagement Questions

      By PunchT37 · Posted

      I have a `25, 1500 that auto sets on incline. Never knew that at first. I have the electronic shifter. Just think if it didn`t do that? Unlike a mechanical shift that you can muscle out of park, how would you get this thing out? That would be a problem.   What I found out later is, I don`t have to push the button to release. Just put it in gear.   Setting parameters? Don`t know if it`s possible.

      Parking Brake - Automatic Engagement Questions

      By SoCal Angler · Posted

      2023 GMC 3500 HD, SLE, 6.6L Gas, 4x4, 6 Spd Options:  SLE Convenience Package; Driver Alert Package 1; Spray on Bedliner; X31 Off Road Package; TRAILERING MIRRORS, HEATED POWER -ADJUSTABLE, AUTO DIMMING, WITH TURN INDICATORS WHEELHOUSE LINERS, REAR INC. REAR AXLE - 3.73 RATIO INC. GVWR, 11,350 LBS. (5148 KG) INC. FRONT AND REAR PARK ASSIST, INC. ULTRASONIC     I have been launching my new boat and noticed some things related to the parking brake.. I usually set the parking brake (habit) when on flat ground for typical driving.    When backed down on the launch ramp to launch the boat and I place gear selector into Park, the parking brake activates automatically. My second nature is to set parking brake manually and noticed I was turing the parking brake off.  The parking brake appears to be setting itself automatically.   I looked all over my owner's manual and only found references to being on an incline and manually setting parking brake, or at times parking brake will be auto engaged, but nothing specific to my situation.    When is the parking brake automatically engaged?  Under what specific circumstances?  Can the auto set parameters be changed?     I like the auto set feature.  It would be nice if always engaged when shifted into Park and released when shifted out of Park (like my wifes 2025 RAV4).   Thanks!
