I can only buy 91 octane Premium around here,  93 is no where to be found.

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.

      Feeling Vibration and Jiggles in 2024 HD Gasser Steering Wheel

      By Policeoff01 · Posted

      Curious, did anyone ever get a fix for the vibration reported here.   I have a 2024 Silverado with 6.6 duramax.   I’m noting the same vibration resonating up through the steering shaft into the steering wheel.    Best way to describe- like someone is tapping on the steering shaft/components and it’s resonating into the steering wheel.    thanks.

      2015 Sierra Denali L86 cyl 5 misfire at idle

      By Gkistler · Posted

      Hi friends - first time poster. I have a 2015 sierra Denali with 150k miles, I’m the second owner and she’s given me 75k of great service. I run a pulse AFM disable device. Starting Thursday when I exited the freeway after a short local ride it started idling rough, with an obvious misfire shake and was down on low end power.  I got it home and hooked it up to my scannner and found no codes but in live data a pretty bad misfire on cylinder 5. I replaced the coil, plug and wire with all new OE replacements (Delphi gn10165 coil, acdelco wire and 41-168 plug). It’s still behaving the same way after firing the parts cannon at it.   I know cyl 5 is a non AFM cylinder so I am not thinking this is AFM related but I’m kinda at a loss. injector? Bent pushrod? It’s running too well over 1k rpm to suggest those IMO. Has anyone chase this issue before and what was it? Any suggestions?

      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 ?.
