💬 OT Help me decide - Truck edition

I’d assume once they’re replaced under warranty that having them disabled isn’t a bad thing.

That is what I said, Lifter failure.

He asked about a disabler then. I said I am running the Range unit.

What was the code it threw? Glad it’s got a warranty, these covid build trucks seemed scary.

I didn't see the sheet in detail but I could see Engine Misfire as the description on one line item. I was surprised it pulled around 8 codes.

2-3 were for the parking brake, 2-3 were the engine codes and then I had one for my keyfob battery. who knew that was a code?

it electronically having afm/dod isn't what caused his shit to break. it having the lifters it has is what did.

the disabler is a bandaid at best

sweet

i also wanted to mention it's not why they failed though

stealership just called

Parking brake was a loose sensor, already fixed

Mis fire is cylinder 1 with no compression either. Service manager said oil was on the plug as well so they are popping the head.

Bets on it being the DFM lifters? Any takers?

The only good news is the CPO warranty gives me a rental fully covered by Chevy so I'll be picking up a new 2024 Silverado to putz around in while they tear apart he engine....

Why did I buy this truck again

 

[Bob Kazamakis]

At least they found something and like others have mentioned it seems like once shit is replaced it’s good.

I’ve never dealt with the LT afm stuff but I think the ls afm shit was blown out of proportion a bit. Sure there were failures but really how common? I’ve owned some wildly high mileage and/or high hour stuff and it’s fine. (Well one had the afm shit replaced before I got it lol)

As I’ve mentioned previously with my conversation with Stink Star after the lifters have been done, he hasn’t seen any further issues.

Got lucky that it had a CPO!

wouldn't have bought it if it didn't have the CPO, learned my lesson that long ago.
