2015 Sierra Denali 120006 miles. I bought this used and occasionally I would get a P0307 code. I'd erase it and it would drive for months with no issue. Last night I went to dinner..' all good. I start the truck to leave and as I pull out I get a stabilitrak light and a flashing CEL. Reduced power and bad idle.

 

Today I: 

Disconnected the battery for a couple hours hoping for a miracle "reset" no luck.

Swapped 1 and 7 coil, plug, and wire. No luck

 

Observations:

NO lifter tapping

#7 plug was oily

When no code is present, oil pressure is about 30.

When stabilitrak light comes on, oil pressure increases to just over 40 and I can hear some sort of sound like air flowing or vacuum or something.

When I clear the code, the sound goes away and the oil pressure goes back to 30.

CEL comes on long after the Stabilitrak has been on a while. (minute or more)

Only ONCE after I first swapped the plug, coil and wire, I got a cold rough idle code P050D

V4/AFM does not engage

So you are only getting a P0307 currently right?

 

It's likely to be a lifter issue with the AFM if there are no other codes for something like the injector.

 

You can pop the drivers side valve cover off and crank the engine over with fuel system disabled to see if all the rocker arms are moving.

P050D is the code that triggers when an injector is failing during cold start. There is a service process to determine which injector it is that is failing. The increase in oil pressure is part of the reduced power mode as part of the fail safe for the engine.

If swapping the plug, coil and coil wire didnt change the position it leaves either the injector is failing or the AFM lifter has failed on that cylinder. While the injector is not hard to R&R it does require pulling the intake manifold and the injector rail. Per the service manual you will need both of the hard fuel pipes to be replaced as they are listed as 1-time use, I have reused them in the past with no issues as well. If you buy a new GM injector you will need the injector info printed on the injector to determine which injector you need as at one time there were 3 or 4 injectors to chose. The brand new injector comes with the teflon seals already installed.

      upgrading speakers on 2026 std cab WT...

      By bwiese · Posted

      I don't wanna do major surgery/upgrades, behind-the-dash work, add amps, change radio etc. on my '26 std cab WT. On the WT, it has the base 7" IOR infotainment setup, and only two speakers (doors). Since I listen to classical, looked around for speakers that do well and dug thru reviews. Two-way speakers were found to be better than 3-way. So I've ordered a pair of  Infinity Reference REF-9632IX 2 way speakers.  [These may  or may not have been discontinued / succeeded by the 3-way ...9633 ones.]    These speakers are lauded for 3 ohm and 94db sensitivity spec so they'll work well for ordinary base car radios without amps and offer better performance (quality,  strength) than  default base paper-cone speakers. They'll be installed in a few days and I'll let y'all know what I think. Bill W San Jose

      Thanks!   Changed out the rear shocks today to Bilstein 5100s.  So far feel much better. The stock Rancho were wore out.  Lots of heavy hauling (2 moves, home renovations, etc).  Next up is new BFG tires Monday.  Cant wait the current tires have little to no wet traction and are super loud (hum)

      Correct way to service 2024 l8t allison trans?

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      How about I just point to the factory pans stand pipe little drain plug and claim its a pan with a real drain plug !. I just couldn't swallow the fact that a Dorman pan which at this point is probably the only pan out there that fits the gas version truck cost that much up here in Canada so I decided initially anyway to skip it and see what I thought of pulling the pan method and down the road if I felt inclined enough then I would either install a drain plug kit in the factory pan if there is enough room for it, or have a bung welded onto it, or put an aftermarket pan on. The thing is if the pan is not pulled then the magnets in the pan can't be inspected and cleaned or if wanting to change out the filter. However of course it certainly would make the job easier to be able to drop the oil first before having to handle the pan if dropping the pan that go around was the goal.    I knew a guy locally that was doing custom field spraying years ago with a pickup pulling a ground driven sprayer, I believe it was a GM pickup with an automatic trans. He had a drain plug in his pan and would drop the oil out of it once a week and top it back up through the dipstick tube to keep refreshing a portion of the oil often and that made the transmission last far longer than had he done nothing. Soft fields pulling 500 gallons of water at the start of each mixed up sprayer tank batch and in low range sucking along. I imagine he got some tips from other custom sprayer outfits doing the same thing at the time and learning from their blown up tranny mistakes. Transmissions then had no lock up converter so would cook the crap out of the fluid slipping that much and it would not have been synthetic fluid either.
