Fuel Issues?

I'm gonna make this as short as possible for everybody reading this. 2013 GMC Sierra 1500 LTZ crew cab. During cold start no CEL comes on, no issues, runs great. Once it warms up after about 15ish minutes, the truck starts to bog and sounds cammed, raising and lowering the rpm trying to keep it alive before eventually dying. The truck is bone stock, and doesn't even have bigger tires on it. We've replaced the fuel pump, fuel module, and I believe more at this point. Been fighting this same issue for well over a year at this point. 

 

Multiple Chevy mechanics and dealerships have tried and failed, as well as a few data loggers have gone in and tried too find anything wrong with it and that's how we replaced what we have computer-wise. We are at a complete loss with this anymore and are about 20k into a truck we have no interest in actually keeping. 

 

I've read some things about these with similar issues, a lot of people pointing at the same things. Could it be the body control module? Could it be the actual fuel supply pump? Any help with this issue is very greatly appreciated and any direction you guys who might've had similar issues can point me in is also very appreciated. 

 

Thank you to all who read

You ought to get a scan tool that can record what's going on when the problem crops up. My first thought on reading this is that this is a problem when the system goes into closed loop mode once the motor gets to temp.  Could also be heat related.  So having said that I believe it's induction related, MAP, MAF sensor problem.

Try performing a fuel composition reset . There was a problem in some of those years where the percentage of alcohol would rise and skew the fuel trims and drivability issues would be the result. See what it is reading before you reset it. Should be 10% or less.

Firstly, check out the Mass Airflow Sensor (MAF) and make sure it's all good – clean and working like a charm. If it's acting up, especially when the temperature changes, it could mess with your fuel delivery.

Also, pay attention to the throttle body. If it's gunked up or not doing its job, you might notice some wonky idling and subpar performance. Give it a good cleaning or think about swapping it out.

Considering the age of your ride, take a peek at those fuel injectors too. They can get all gunked up over time, messing with your fuel delivery. A pro cleaning or a possible replacement could be the fix.

You've tackled the electrical side by swapping out some parts, but it wouldn't hurt to take a look at the ignition system. Dodgy spark plugs or a wonky ignition coil can cause issues similar to what you've been dealing with.

      Ac not keeping up

      By Aimatdeer · Posted

      2024 l8t . Ac has never felt really cold even new. But lately it seems a little warmer. When it gets in the upper 80s and a little more humid it just does not keep up. And sometimes at idle it gets warm. My wife's 2008 envoy is better. My son's 2016 is colder. I have an apointment for a third try Monday the 29th at a third dealer to try and get cold ac before my warranty is out. The first two told me something about so many degrees under ambient temp blah blah blah seemed like they didn't want to mess with me. This was set at low. Max air fan speed high. 87 degrees and a little humid.   .

      OCI, not when but why?

      It isn’t all that bad in the world with purchasing power versus quality. My first car had just basic equipment. My oil choice was conventional oil. The life expectancy was around 100K miles. During that time you could expect to change all the accessories. Today with inflation you can buy the equivalent. It comes fully loaded with 4 doors. The life expectancy passes 100K miles replacing no accessories. If reaching that milestone is your goal you simply follow the recommended service intervals. If you want more miles simply do more maintenance. When in doubt you can check the internet or YouTube for information. The selling of any product hasn’t changed since the beginning of time. The power of the buyer has. The price of the product hasn’t changed much with inflation. The buying public wants more. Competition and the buying public has put the sellers in a box. The greed is on both sides. You can still get more for less. You just have to do with less. That used to be popular. The buying public has changed . It’s the sellers that are trying to keep up. As Grumpy tries to inform the readers in this case with maintenance. If you want more. More effort is required. That information wasn’t available this easily just a few years ago. I believe the public has more power. Getting information is easier.

      2023 DRW Wheel Liners

      By SFC Retired · Posted

      Gentlemen, I'm new to this forum. My question is, I thought I have read somewhere that the rear wheel liners for 2024- 2026 GMC Sierra HD3500 DRW can/will fit the 2023. I can't seem to find that information again and wondering if anybody has any knowledge if these will work or not with the 2023? Part# is 84892542. Thank you for any information. The GMC parts counter wasn't able to give my any definitive answer?

      Spacers aren’t safe anyway, so you’re better off just buying something else.

      OEM Trailer Hitch Receiver - Impact tightened by shop

      Its because they have thread locking compound on them. I would bet money that they are actually reusable and not a literal TTY bolt because GM and most other OEMs don't trust techs and the end-user to apply thread locker properly in the same way they don't trust anyone to solder properly (and instead instructing crimps everywhere). Torque To Angle =/ Torque To Yield.   If you think dealerships or any technician replaces every 'discard' bolt in every procedure, I have a bridge to sell you.
