I have a 2015 silverado 1500 that was giving a Po307 code.  I pulled the engine apart and discovered I had a collapsed AFM lifter.  I have replaced the lifters all around, put in new head gasket, new head gasket bolts, new halve cover gaskets, new spark plugs, new fuel cross over pipe and high pressure fuel pipe.  I started driving it and it seemed good for a couple of days, and then started making noise like there was air escaping from the intake manifold, and eventually knocking in the exhaust.  I replaced the manifold and gaskets as I was told they can warp, and while changing that, i discovered that the seals on one of my injectors (cylinder 3) was clearly getting blowby.  I replaced the injector and replaced all of the seals on the other injectors as well.  Now I am getting the P0307 code again, and i have blue smoke.  The engine seems to run quiet, but still rough and the smoke.

 

Im not sure what to continue with now, i have replaced everything I can think of, and it seems like the lifter may have collapsed again.

 

Any ideas out there??

I also forgot to mention that I have gone through the process of eliminating the spark plugs, spark plug wires and coils as possible culprits.  the misfire code did not follow the plug, wire or coil.

Blue smoke is oil burning iirc. You should be able to tell on the dipstick at some point. White is water and black is gas.

    • Howdy folks,   Recently I pulled a heated steering wheel and clock spring out of a 2015 Sierra All Terrain (part numbers coming soon - will have to disassemble), and just installed it on my 2016 Sierra WT (as base model as it gets).   On install, I noticed that I’m missing the connector often tucked behind the dash for the heating element.     No problem… or so I thought.   I used an “Add-A-Fuse” at my heated steering wheel fuse location, which has voltage, but no wires. I ran it to the positive of the heated steering wheel (Violet/White), and took black to ground.   Hooked up the battery, turned the truck on - no heated steering wheel. No button backlights. Was pleased to see that my cruise control was working though.   Read a post suggesting reversing polarity, so I gave it a shot. Violet and White to ground, Black to power.    Aha! Heat! But I seemingly can’t turn it off AND still no backlights on any of the buttons.    Checked all fuses, everything is still in good order. I’m stumped.   Does anyone have any insight? If so, please share!
    • I'm about 1800 miles into my last oil change, and yesterday a message appeared saying oil life was at 77%. Not sure why it popped up but I think all of these electronics could be susceptible to solar flares or somesuch. I change my oil right at 3K each time, and that was the first time in 10870 miles that message came up. Strange thing is that it showed on the screen at all since I don't drive with that sort of info displayed on the DIC.

    • Checked the pads today and there's plenty of meat on them. If the message keeps coming up, I'll just answer YES that the pads were replaced and wait for the squeal.
    • Welcome to the Forum! Always post the code definitions along with the codes. there are over 18000 possible codes, no one remembers them all and most will skip over your post rather than look them up
