Hey guys

I have a 2017 silverado high country 6.2L. Its been throwing a P050D code for a while along with random misfire codes, just seems to have gotten worse since its gotten colder. It idles rough but under throttle it runs great. Ive done plugs and ran a bunch of injector cleaner through it. Took it to my mechanic and he recommends trying to run some valve cleaner through it see if that fixes the issue. It has about 106000 btw. Anyone else have this problem?

I had the P050D pop up early last winter. I had a bit of a rough idle as well but ran just fine once underway. I cleared it and it stayed away for a bit. I think about a month later it popped up again and I cleared it again. A couple months later in spring, it came in again but this time also came with P0301. This pointed to the fuel injector on Cylinder 1. I brought it to dealer and they confirmed a problem with Cylinder 1 injector. They also said it was throwing a P0300 as well. They replaced it and I haven't had any problems since. I believe they said the fuel injector was stuck open.

I have same year and engine LTX and had same issue two different times and it was sticky/leaky injector. I have since started running gumout PEA at each oil change. Cannot be sure it helps but have not had another failure. If you scan the ST and LT fuel trims they will appear to be out of balance also.

If it were me, I might look at cleaning the Throttle Body butterfly area & do the adaptation procedure & see if it changes anything. At 106k miles, I'm sure it needs cleaning. Just my .02 cents

I'm surprised you didn't have a code that would point to that injector

@rav3 i did finally, after i posted the first time.. it started missing really bad one evening with p050d, p0300 and p0302 codes so that pointed to injector 2. It had got a p0302 code back in october as well but i changed the coil back then and thought that fixed it..  I bought 3rd party warranty when i bought the truck so turned a $620 bill into a $100 bill so that was nice.. just hoping if the other injectors are gonna fail or lifters go out it happens in the next 40k miles lol

      Yep! This should be a pin somewhere as @pgamboa really dives into all of this. Thanks for reposting the link!

      I did the new thermostat after doing a 'flip' for a year. Runs as cool one way as the other in the summer but in the winter there is a bit of a floor. Yellow with the new 70 C thermostat. My data over the life of the unit to date. Still need more cooler. Anyway that floor helped both winter fuel economy and shift quality in the winter. I found it a good balance.

      Evan Williams Bottled in Bond   So pouring the last of a bottle of Evan Williams Black label last night I set off the the state store for a refill only to be denied the by an empty shelf. Rats.    What the did have was a bottle of Evan Williams Bottled in Bond. 100 proof. Hum, a few bucks more but a known distiller. Lets have a swing at it. ( I have before )    Cracked it open and pour a serving over ice. Hum.... more heat, yes. More alcohol naturally. But the barreling not the proof brings the taste and this one came up short.    Oh is was familiar but the heat ran the barrel over like a Peterbilt runs over a squirrel. Could use a heavier toasting of the oak me thinks or perhaps a longer barreling. Who knows. But what I can say is ice or a water back isn't the answer. What kills one kills them both. Sad. It is a pleasant drink....if you have little to compare it to.

      Bridgestone vs Goodyear tires?

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      I've had exactly one set of Bridgestone. Lasted five year and 125,000 miles and had I known better 15oK would have been a cake walk. I would have bought a like set had they not tripled in price since the first set. I removed them at said mileage with 5/32" remaining in dead even wear all four. They were fuel efficient, quite, comfortable and predictable.    Early on I got a very good alignment checked at least once a year, sometimes twice; kept the tires properly inflated, balanced and rotated. And I've found that many a tire issue can be avoided with great maintenance practices. Lot's of tire dealers will do rotation and balance (simple) for free for as long as you own the tire they sold you so no excuse not to.    Bead prep, alloy integrity and stem health have a huge impact on inflation stability. There are more mountings done poorly that perfectly. Finding a good tire guy is gold and as important as finding a tire you like.    That 3X price increase now two sets of "other tires' later is starting look like a bargain.      Bad maintenance kills more tires than bad tires.

      Wow I'm in a pickle. (Broke down truck) and a story.

      Atlas, you kill me As aggravating as a project like this can be you have been unable to hide your fascination with learning and using that angst against this beast like a Ninjitsu Master. It amuses you, admit it now.      BTW, love your writing style. 😉
