Anyone experienced a rough, erratic idle on a cold startup of a NBS 07 5.3l Silverado with Active Fuel Management?

Yes. Mine is an '07 Silverado NBS. It happens every single time I start it (first thing in the morning), and doesn't reappear until the next day.

The rough idle comes and goes on mine. The electric fan kicks off and on regardless of AC or outside temps. That's loud and bothers me as well.

 

I hope to bring it to the dealer next week for it's first check up. I'm also getting a transmission "bump" when I'm stopped at a light in gear with my foot on the brake. It feels as if someone lightly rear-ended the truck.

 

I'll keep you posted on what the dealer says.

I've noticed both mine and my dads gmt-900's 6.0 and 6.2 both make the same sound when cranked in the morning with the remote start. Goes away after about 2secounds. I don't think it's nothing to worry about. My 2000 sierra 6.0 has had piston slap forever and still cranks every morning now as it approaches 190k.

I think the truck sounds pretty good on cold startup! Is anyone else with me on this? I think it sounds tough like it's got a nice cam in it for a few seconds...No complaints here!!!!

I know what you're talking about it's got a nice lope to it, but i'm refering to more of a piston slap noise.

Mine does this too. Usually it isn't too bad, but sometimes it feels like it surges a bit when I first start to drive away.

 

I'm also getting a weird whistling sort of noise (like a squeaky belt) when I first start up in the mornings. Anyone else hearing this?

 

Thanks.

I get the same thing on my 6.0L too. Sometimes cold starts cause a waivering idle. I do get a squeak under the hood also on cold starts like a belt is loose. Anybody know what it is? Maybe there is a TSB for it. WHat do you know, when it warms up it runs smooth as butter. My o4 use to have a belt squeak too, but here in the arm pit of America (Shreveport, LA) it is real humid in the morning. I wonder if this crap is normal.

I get that too. However, it usually occurs when I'm almost at a stop, but not quite. For example, often times it happens when I'm pulling into the garage. It scares the s*** out of me, b/c normally it'll "surge/bump" when the OH door is about 80% of the way up, so I think I'm going to crash into it.

My new '07 Denali idles rough all the time. I used to object to it but have become accustomed to it. Now only people standing next to the truck as they talk with me make mention of the shaking feeling in the doors as the engine idles.

 

Dealer states this behavior is "within normal operating parameters of the vehicle." That's what they say about all the many problems I have with this truck.

Hi everyone! New here to the forum.

 

My 2007 NBS 6.0L will have a rough idle on a cold start too. It only happens when the temperature is above 85 degrees outside and would vibrate for 15 to 20 seconds. I also took mine to the dealer. Only thing the dealer did was to update the ECM & TCM for the V4/V8 hesitation. My dealer has a TAC cas with GM with this issue. It was 90 degrees yesterday and the vibration was there slightly.

      Thanks; I looked there a few minutes, and I think I can find something. I really never looked there, as I thought it was stuff like PTO/aftermarket bodies/accessories like snow plows.

      2 speed transfer case optional now?

      By newdude · Posted

      This is a 1/2 ton thing ONLY.  All HDs 2020-2026 have the two speed transfer case, with Autotrac as an option.     1/2 tons 2019-2026, regular 4x4s come with a single speed case (no 4LO!), and trucks with Z71 ordered, or all Trail Boss trucks come with the 2 speed case.  2 speed case is also an option on WT, and is also standard on High Country.

      Different requirements for oil filters?

      By newdude · Posted

      2013 5.3 still to this day calls for the PF48 filter.  Which as a 15psi bypass pressure.     There is a TSB, 17-NA-157 that talks about the PF-63 and PF-64 filters which have a higher bypass rating of 22psi.    TSB HERE - temp.xml   "Beginning in 2012, the oil pumps began to regulate main gallery feedback instead of pump out pressure. This means that the oil pump now does not begin to regulate until pressure is built up to the main gallery. This change reduces the amount of time it takes to provide oil to the engine bearing and lifters during extreme cold start conditions.  Main gallery feedback oil pump control systems are present on the following engine families which use Spin-on oil filters: Small Gas Engine (SGE), Large Gas Engine (LGE), High Feature (HFV6) Gen2 and Small Block Gen5 gasoline engines. These engines with the main gallery feedback oil pump control systems are factory built with an ACDelco® oil filters"   It also calls out what engines use those filters.  The gen 4 small blocks were not on that list (LMG, LC9, L9H, L92, L94, L20, L96).  Gen 5 small blocks use the higher pressure filter.          That all said...   Your 7045 Napa filter is the PF63 equivalent, with 22psi bypass.  You are already using the higher bypass pressure filter.  You CAN keep using it, you don't technically have to use it though.

      Do you know WHY the filter relief setting was increased to 22 psig?    When the new system goes into the second stage the pump volume ramps up considerably. It was found that the 15 psi filter bypass setting put the filter in bypass on a warm engine when the second stage was activated. Raising the filter bypass setting forced the filter to do what it designed to do. Filter. Preventing debris from circulating during high load, high rpm operation.    So next question is how did GM find this out? VLOM/lifter failures and a deep dive by Melling Corp.    Last question. Is it required? Look at it like this; a motor may be equipped with a rev limiter. But it only works if the set point in reached. That 22 psig setting only matters if the pressure differential across the filter media exceeds 15 psig during normal warm operation. Second stage kicks in around 3000-3500 rpm.    I can't answer your question because I don't know you and how you use the truck. But I think there is enough information here to let you decide for yourself. 😉
