Hey what’s up, I just got this 2015 Gmc Sierra 150” with 77k miles. The check engine light P050D Cold start Rough idle keeps coming on. I had changed spark plugs and wires and did oil change and filter and erased the code and hadn’t came on anymore. But today it came back again. Also I’m not sure if this is related to that but when I’m coming to a stop it seems as if the engine/trans jerks or pulls when shifting down before a complete stop. You can feel the hit when it jerks. And this was happening before the check engine light as well so I’m not sure if those two things are related. It’s a really clean truck and has low miles for it to be acting up and don’t know what to do at this point. Any input would be helpful.

p050d is an injector code, you need to get it scanned and find out which injector is failing . maybe more than one injector. once you fix that problem it might cure the other problem

Awesome thanks man, I’ll try to get it scanned asap. Am I able to get away with buying injectors from somewhere online? Or do they have to be from the dealer?

Definitely would recommend OEM injectors. Aftermarket tends to be junk unless you shell out the big bucks

Sounds good! Well I tried ordering some OEM ones from online but I called two different dealerships and they gave me two different part numbers. One is 12701381 and the other 12710481 and I only found these two oem injectors so I don’t know which ones would be the ones to work.

Check GMPartsDirect or RockAuto to figure out the proper P/N. 

 

Buying from Amazon can sometimes screw you. I suggest buying from the dealer if you know someone, buying from GMPartsDirect, or Genuine GM from RockAuto

Hey shakenfake, how about for the jerking part? What do you think could be wrong. Today I drove a little farther down the highway and back home and the transmission fluid temps were from 190-198 the whole time. It’d still jerk coming to a complete stop as it geared down. Also when I was parking in reverse at my house, when I switched from Drive to Reverse, it sounded pretty loud making that switch.

I couldn't tell you. That isn't bad although maybe a little warm since it is heading towards winter now. Normally it will get hot when it is stop and go not just going down the highway. I am unfamiliar with the newer truck's transmissions.

 

You used to be able to get the injectors pressure tested to see if they held pressure but I don't know on a direct injection. I don't see why not though lol I suggest get a scan tool that can or take it to a shop to ask which injector is heading out.

Also you could use a noid light to make sure that the wiring harness hasn't just gone bad

Same here man this is my first truck and it ran so good the first two weeks I got it and until now all these defects started to pop up. But I really do appreciate the input!

      Lower trims ( WT, Custom, Silverado ( aka LT )

      By newdude · Posted

      HD at the moment, are kinda their own deal.  How LTZ sells on those vs on 1500, there is a difference.   They are merging most of the mid trims on 1500.  LT, RST and LTZ are replaced by one trim, Silverado.  LT and RST are a BIG portion of sales.    Bad naming choice aside, the new Silverado trim will offer the spread of options that those three trims offered.  So expect to see things like the tech package for example, and memory seats.  And LT Trail Boss will now just be "Trail Boss" (formerly LT Trail Boss) but will offer content spread like the new Silverado trim will.  The press photos showed the Trail Boss (formerly LT Trail Boss) has access to Super Cruise now, which on the current truck was High Country only.       Here is the Trail Boss interior.  Memory seats and Super Cruise are present.  All things the LT Trail Boss it replaces, and the RST it was based on didn't get on the current gen.  You had to go to LTZ or ZR2 for memory seats, and High Country for Super Cruise.

      2021 vs 2026 handling (1500 X31 Sierra)

      By dennismc · Posted

      I installed a Hellwig rear sway bar on my 21 Sierra SLT, it made a huge difference on how the truck handles, no body roll, the trucks much more planted now. Not sure of the suspension differences between the 21 and 26,  if its body roll your having a sway bar will solve it.

      frustrating P0446 code

      By Old Bay · Posted

      So a follow up and my fix. I found in online searches the live data to look at on a scan tool to verify the fuel tank pressure sensor was working.  It showed an spec number towards the lower end of the rang, but in spec.  Then while it was running opened the gas cap and the pressure should change.  It didn't change even a tiny bit.  The data for the purge valve said it was open...never changed. So then I measured the voltages on the plug for the fuel pressure sensor and they matched what it should be.  So local car quest parts had the sensor in stock...it was a bit of a pain to remove and an even bigger one to get it to actually go back in.  It helped to unbolt the driveshaft and bungie cord away from the gas tank to give a bit more room to work. So fuel tank pressure sensor in I cleared the code, and started it up.  I went to the scan tool's live data and... Eureka! The pressure number was different and fluctuated a bit.  So took it on a short drive and pressure number varied saw the purge valve go from closed to open and back to closed.  Drove it to and from work for roughly a week plugged in the scan tool no codes.  I took it in to get tested and passed.  In my state's infinite wisdom (oops meant greed), since I pushed the test with the maximum extensions I have to take it back in by Feb '27 to 'get it back up to date', then my next test won't be until Feb '29.

      loose lug nuts

      By newdude · Posted

      Any grease on the stud threads of any kind?   Wheel studs should have NOTHING on them for proper torquing and so the nuts don't back off.     Are all of the mating surfaces clean?  So wheel, rotor and hub?     We've had plenty of trucks at work with that wheel, this is a first to me.  Makes me think they've got a lube tech putting anti-seize on all the wheel studs or some kind of grease, and they need to stop doing that.  To have 11 other trucks with the same exact problem.

      2027 Chevrolet Silverado: Official Discussion

      By Flynlow · Posted

      I was a Chevy guy for years, then switched to GMC because I liked the looks better.  I'm actually thinking I like the Chevy looks better than GMC for the first time in a lot of years.   One thing I know for certain, the new GMC dash is hideous!  Chevy wins this one!
