Toyota Tacoma sounds like a great vehicle 👍
Thx for replying and can I get a shout out plz?
Not the right octane gas needs 93 the 2.7 5.3 6.2 require it
Rip to many electronics
Drive shaft joints my not be welded on correctly
Imagine you order this truck.. wait 6-8 months.. pay whatever price the dealership tells you…and this happens. I think this is the future.
Damn that sucks I’m a die hard Chevy guy but damn they really need to get their shit together! They should have made the 3.0 duramax an option in the ZR2
Also I think if you did the dod Delete and supercharge it that thing will be a beast
Ram makes the only reliable newer trucks
@@fireant1272 but the frames aren't reliable tho lol
@@murd3r3d_4.5 first time I've ever heard that lol
@@fireant1272 the Ram has the least power in the half ton market besides Nisan but they do seam to last more. But if they start going for more power they might start breaking too. Of course I’m not including the TRX.
The new 6.2 has DFM (Dynamic Fuel Management) lifters. They are controlled by the VLOM (valve lifter oil manifold). The old AFM system allowed the vehicle to switch from v8 to v4 mode when proper conditions allowed it to do so. The new DFM system allows the vehicle to operate with whatever combination the ECM deems most efficient and necessary. Whether thats V8, V7, V6.. all the way down to 1 cylinder firing. The issue with these systems, new and old, is that GM is sourcing very cheap components to facilitate the operation of these very complex and advanced systems. I'm surprised there has not been a lawsuit filed.
The system allowed the engine to go from 8 firing down to 6 and 6 down to 4. never have I seen it go down to 1 cylinder or have I ever heard of that
Look it up my man.
My 2014 never went down to one cylinder
There actually is a law sute but only for newer trucks
Haha I’m thinking you need n engine buddy!!!!! You bent something same thing happened to my GMC Sierra 6.2 l… and they know the truck will live till warranty ends… I don’t know how they do it but there just taking our money.
Hopefully GM can warranty it. If they do, let's hope they don't find your channel and say you're at fault for the issue because of what the truck has been through lol.
Once the Silverado gets fixed, keep it! Lmfscrew got his trailboss fixed and it ran better than ever!
Got treated the same way with my 2016 Z71 Silverado. I got the 8 speed transmission and it decides to shift really hard at random times. Because the truck drives down the road, GM refused to fix it under warranty. At 80k miles now and just waiting for the trans to go out. Just paid off the truck this year. No other complaints, my 5.3 has been solid.
My trans in my 2014 Silverado just went out. Just hit 124k miles. Definitely getting the AFM delete just to be safe then sorry
@@ethan2k206 Sorry to hear that. I had a V6 manual 2002 Camaro and 2nd gear went out in it at 39k miles, 3k after the warranty. Got it fixed and put almost 200k miles on it before I traded it for my truck.
@ethan2k206 my trans went at 138,000 in rush hour in middle lane of freeway (that was fun) I did the AFM delete and no problems at all with the 5.3 and pushing 170,000
I’m great full that all of my 6.2s have not had these issues. Currently have 2 have had at least 8 other 6.2s with no issues. I have read about the lifter issues. Goodluck.
Sounds like you dropped a lifter that bent and push rod that locked up the motor. The manufacturer of the lifters that GM has been using is a known problem. It would be my guess that is what happened. If you keep that bad boy get a system that shuts of the cylinder deactivation helps them last longer, or pay to have normal ones put in and get the truck turned. RIP
afm delete/ just did it on my 2011 and through a cam in while in there haha
@@lespaulplayer1234512 I have a 2020 Z71 with the 5.3 that as soon as the warranty is up I will be pulling it apart and putting new lifters and a cam in it too. Now that is done your motor should go for a really long time now.
@@scottdisch687 hope so man. I’ve got 165k on it and never had a lifter tick before I did but went ahead and did it anyways. Also put 4.56 gears in it but now I’m having to go to 4.11’s I think the aggresive gears caused a driveshaft vibration.
I'm not 100% sure, but I don't think the 6.2 has cylinder deactivation... it would still be the same shitty lifters though... I know for a fact that the gasser 2500's don't have AFM OR DOD, whichever it is... not too sure on the 2022's or the 1500's
LS issues
Keep at it Bobby I’m sure they will find and fix the issues and it will be back stronger and better. RIP
I had the same issue and it was the main wiring harness that plugs in right by the air box. It gets stretched out by the driver side wheel. Easy fix myself.
Gee..... you don't think that maybe jumping ramps and running through 3' of water might have caused his harness to wiggle loose like yours did, do ya? 😆 🤣 😂 that sounds like a great place to start, for sure
@@scottdonahue9193 I mean I hope that would be common sense for most but mine acted up without doing all that stuff lol
RIP 🪦
Another great upload!! Keep it going Bobby🤘😎
Man I just want you to know I love to see content on the Zr2, the offroad videos are the best. It's the whole reason I came to this channel. I don't mind it if you sell the Silverado, the taco seems pretty cool, but I would love to see another Colorado Zr2 in the future, maybe the bison?
Mine died too! I went and got a RAM and it has been Solid as a Rock!!! Love this new truck. Has a panoramic sunroof and a real flat floor which I wanted and GM didn't have. Hope it works out for you bro.
Your such a liar!
My 2014 silverado 5.3 has no problems. Just hit 123,068 and no problems yet. Better to have old than new. I thought about getting the 6.2 but heard nothing but problems with it. I'll stick with my 5.3.
ive heard of more 5.3's having problems with afm system than 6.2's.
That's crazy. I have a 2014 silvy with 123,200 and no major issues here either. What color is your brother?
@@alaub1990 straight white with a little chrome on it.
@@marksman4004 Nice. Mine is tungsten gray. Did you do the Afm delete? That was the first thing I did at 60k miles and I never regretted it once. I can't wrap my mind around GM still using that bullshit man. I was getting worse mileage when it was active.
@@alaub1990 nah I didn't delete it yet. friend of mine did it to his truck and he had a couple problems with his engine. Nothing serious but he said he should've just left it alone. So I left mines alone. 😅😅. I'm still think about deleting mines. How much mileage you're getting now?
RIP the 6.2. I feel like it can’t be super serious. The dod/afm stuff has been around a bit. I know gm does change things very slowly, but I thought that stuff was figured out in the gen 4 small blocks. It seems like it’s not even attempting to turn on to the run position, key on engine off. Did they tell you how many control units are missing. I remember you saying that you had no heating steering because there were components not installed do to the semiconductor shortage.
Dod/afm has been an issue since they introduced it and still to this day. It’s a junk system that kills what used to be very reliable motors that got the same if not better at times fuel economy. They had a huge lawsuit against them over it and somehow won even though it’s such a massive common issue.
It just happened to me when I was exiting off an interstate coasting down hill, maybe 35mph. Left me stranded too, couldn't even put it in neutral to move out of traffic. Towed to dealer and was told engine needs replaced. Blamed me for following manufacturer recommended service program. I was told I need to service it every 5k miles not the 7.5k MyChevy App, the dealer and chevy says. So a little dirty oil locked up the motor? Head mechanic said not to worry, his mechanic takes care of this all the time. Why didn't the sales person tell me that?
I just rolled 20k miles on my 10 month old 2023 Silverado zr2. Should've gotten the Toyota or Ford. I'm not feeling confident about this $70k+ chevy truck. My first chevy truck. Ugh, should've listened to friends and avoided GM.
Never was a Chevy person until November 2020 when traded a new piece of junk 2020 Explorer Limited for a new 2020 Silverado 1500 RST Z-71 Black 5.3 and I love it. I have an assigned work vehicle so don’t drive it every day and we just got back from beach last Friday and now it has 14,000 plus miles on it. Had second service done at 10,000 miles at dealership and at 10,300 it dropped a lifted. Still would start and run but missed a lot. Tow and repair completely covered under warranty and they had it done within a week including weekend. Had it repaired same day parts came in and they replaced entire bank where lifter problems was. Even with that issue I still love my truck.
Sorry to see that your ZR2 is having that issue. I have really enjoyed watching other channels as well that have the Silverado ZR2. I have had such high hopes as many others. I can only hope GM does you right. I own a 2021 Colorado ZR2 in Cherry Metallic. My wife enjoys driving it as much as I do. Good luck young man.
don’t get rid of the zr2 i love that truck and can’t wait to see what u do with it
There is a class action suit over the afm/dod issues on GM trucks. Most of the issues are with the 6.2L but the 5.3L has had issues as well. The newer AFM system seems to be more troublesome the the older DOD system.
RAM runs a very similar system on their trucks also with most problems with the 5.7L hemi. The TRX doesn't use the system.
Hope it is an easy, quick fix for you.
I just traded in a 2018 LTZ for a 2022 High Country. The High Country has an AFM delete listed on the MSRP. I put a delete dongle that I still have on my 2018. I was gonna use my old dongle but was glad to see the AFM delete on the build sheet. Both were 5.3's.
@@DLTJR1959 Good deal. Better off without it. I think I remember looking not long ago the you could get the afm delete option on 5.3s with the 8 speed transmission but not with the 10 speed auto or with the 6.2l period.
@@scottedwards402 My HC has the 10 speed. I think the AFM delete was due to the chip shortage.
@@DLTJR1959 That's even better.
We had a 17 Silverado 5.3L with around 100,000km (62,000mi) and coming home one day the engine light started flashing so we pull over, turned it off the on again, code went away, normal operation so we got it to the Chevy dealer and when this happened we had it 8 months...so we got it looked at and it was saying multiple cylinder misfire, ALL the tests they did came back normal, so had to fork out 700 bucks for that, 3 weeks later...same issue!!!!! So I got it towed to another dealer and this time it was saying that the multiple cylinder misfire was double from before so they did more testing and....yet again another 500 bucks for nothing...so we had the truck for just under 2 years and traded it for a 21 Classic Ram 5.7 brand new and got 5k more than what we paid for the Silverado
Idk why cars can be so strange, my grandpa has owned chevys and gms all his life pretty much and they’ve been reliable as hell, so it’s just kind of a one of one thing for your zr2 Silverado breaking down
It’s most likely the AFM system (Active Fuel Management) the lifters in the cylinders that shut off while cruising may not have good oil flow, ultimately causing their downfall quite literally. They collapse and get stuck in off position and it puts the engine in limp mode after the computer registers a misfire. Sadly this has been happening for almost 15 years I think since they released these motors.
Ever since 2007
The Engineers over at GM have had 15 years to correct that mess and they've failed. AFM/DFM is the Devil 😈 in disguise.
Dang, that really sucks bud. It's most likely the AFM system malfunctioning, that's pretty common on the 6.2L so I'd expect a couple of lifters be replaced along with a rocker or two. Might also have them look into the fuel injectors, those have also shown to be problematic in these engines.
Best of luck to ya bud. Hope to see the ZR2 back on the channel soon.
This is why I have always been hesitant to buy new and it's hard to find trust worthy mechanics let alone an honest dealership or a company who stands behind their products
A lot of my friends have the marinized 6.2 engines by marine power In they’re commercial fishing boats and they’ve had a lot of issues with them as well. Seems it’s hard to beat the tried and true 6.0. It’s a shame cause the 6.2 put out such more power and Bette fuel economy
That 6.0 is damn near bulletproof... I did have the lifters changed in mine at 79k, but the oil pump went out as well and I complained to the dealership about a ticking noise... covered under extended warranty... 2018 2500 gasser, btw
Problem is goddam gm dumb fuckers went cheap on the intervals. Niggerin around they shoulda engineered this thing the right way the first time.
Great video as always Bobby! Sucks the Silverado ZR2 is down but hopefully it will be resolved. I do think if you do plan to sell the ZR2 maybe a bison would be cool like u said, but with the baby duramax it would be even cooler. RIP!
RIP-awful for that to happen already! I love the Colorado!-esp. the last wrap!!
Frustrating, to say the least. I had a similar experience - I bought a new Ford F-150 with the V-6 Ecoboost engine a few years ago. Under 20k miles, the engine started billowing thick, white/blueish smoke from the tailpipe, accompanied by a metal on metal grinding sound in the engine when I accelerated. Read online that many were seeing the same issues. I didn't even try to resolve or investigate further, I took it straight to the dealer and traded it for a Toyota. I'd driven Toyotas my entire life, had decided to try one of these F-150's I'd heard so much about over the years because the mpg on the Ford ecoboost was so much better than Tundra. And the thing was a piece of junk. It's ridiculous to spend that much money on a vehicle and have problems right out the gate. The Tundra is awful on mpg, and the Tacoma is a bit small, but they just run. Chevy, Ford, GMC, all have some good looking trucks but I don't trust them to make a reliable product.
Wow, Rip Zr2. I got a 21 trailboss with 20,000 miles no issues yet, knock on wood. Beautiful truck by the way. When it gets fixed it will be Beautiful again.
Fun fact Chevy says since 2012 98% of its trucks are still on the road to this day they are just waiting for tow trucks 🛻 😂
Rip zr2 , let’s see what this Toyota has going manual or not , SEND IT
You're awesome. I've been watching your videos for a long time
It's sad to see so many of these new chevy trucks fail because I love them I have a 05 2500 6.0 and I love it also got a 05 trailblazer 4.2 i6 they are my pride and joy lol I love your silverado zr2 and the AWE exhaust sounds amazing RIP!
let us know what it ended up being, mine hasn't had ANY issues so far
Mine had a fuel injector fail at 126 miles and it drove to the service dept, very rough, died at the shop as I pulled in. It wouldn’t turn back on and they couldn’t even pull it around to check it. Anyway, it was a fuel injector and it took them a month to get a replacement bank.
My GMC Denali 2022 (new body) with the 6.2L also had the same issue. Truck is currently in the dealership.
Honestly I don’t know about modern day Chevy anymore, I would say 2000s Chevys were pretty reliable, my dad had a 2005 suburban, started having (small) issues, nothing major but it was just starting to get pretty expensive (at least I believe it was getting expensive) around 200k-250k miles, we traded it in for a Kia Sorento, it been pretty good the past like 2-3 years
Modern day everything is JUNK! All made to fail.
@@whistlinduramax7723 true, at least it seems like ford and ram have less major issues
@@B3nluke been a chevy guy my entire life. I drive a ram now LOL. Do regular maintenance and dont idle for long periods and the hemi is a great motor. Over 115k now no issues.
@@XDM10 yeah, ik people talk crap about rams and their reliability but I feel like ram and ford are the most reliable out of the big 3, ik my grandpa has a 4th Gen ram 1500 and I don’t think it had many issues, if he ever wants to sell that truck I might buy it from him
@@B3nluke definitely great trucks. Put a nice exhaust on it and a leveling kit makes a world of a difference also!
Some of these technological advances with performance are great, but sometimes, good ol points ignition and a carburetor just seem so much simpler to deal with 😂
Knock sensors? My 6.0 similar issues, limp mode. And didn’t happen all the time
that 6.2 has been having the lifter issue for years now, i thought they fixed it in early 2021 and were using the upgraded parts. Glad i went with the 5.3 in my Trail Boss. Too bad they don't put the duramax in that ZR2. Love the content man, was waiting for someone to get the ZR2 since i really wanted one but didn't want the price tag, hence the trail boss.
Mike is a saint your blessed. How much is your truck payment ?
Got a 2022 Trailboss with the 6.2, 6500 miles on it, love it, but getting nervous. Have a friend with a 2019, he's had no issues.
same this happened to the youtuber lmfscrew with his 6.2 trail boss. it’s a common thing. gm will fix it for free as well, then you gotta get a module to turn off all the cylinder shut off stuff
I'm curious what, if any, break in you did?
Also, why did you opt for the french version when you could have had a GMC?
RIP Chevrol'et
My 2021 high country 6.2L just got out of the dealer for the lifter issue as well it did it at 28k miles. Gm warrantied the work replaced 8 lifters bank 1. Got truck back runs and sounds normal again idk if I’m going to keep it now probably get rid of it before bumper to bumper is up. Been gm all my life now thinking about a f250 diesel or maybe a 5.0 f150 definitely not a v6 just can’t accept that sound coming from a full size truck lol
Love these videos
Ford Raptor 6.2 runs like a dream.
keep moving forward. Godspeed 🥂👍😃
Rip! Give it some time, the zr2 is new and stock. The views will come! Keep your plans and don’t steer away. That’s what we like to see! If I were you do the new lifter job that gets rid of the afm!
My 2022 RST 6.2 just shut down and left me stranded.
I’ve always been a Chevy guy so this hurts to say but I don’t think the ZR2 is “Special” enough… maybe a new Raptor would spark more interest?
Can’t help but blame the way you treat the truck had mine since the refresh was released not a single problem
Did they ever give you a cause? My zr2 has the weird idle as well and I’m just waiting for it to go. Dealer said it was all in spec. Also have this weird chirp sound on startup and downshifts.
If warranty does not cover then replace lifters and cam shaft with non DOD (Dynamic fuel management)
When under warrantee, they should have covered the towing. They didn't?
Just get a square body chevy with a new motor. Values are going up on them and you can never go wrong with a square body chevy. They are easy to fix as well
@RFRacing i'm wondering if there's a property line on that big piece of land. there usually is one. could be why their saying no. who knows
RIP ZR2. So sorry that beautiful Truck left you stranded, that's a shame
RIP! IF you decide to keep it, best upgrade before adding a blower, is to delete the AFM lifters. There's a kit, which I dealt with the older version when I had an 09 G8 GT..
Kia does the same thing as far as waiting till the car is fully broke before fixing it. I had a 12' Optima which was known for engine problems so Kia extended the warranty for the engine. Did all the recalls, which showed the engine had problems, they wouldn't do anything, then on the hottest freakin summer day on the way to work... My engine blew leaving me on the side of the road for damn near 5hrs!! Kia did put me in a rental and put a new long block in, but a shame they wait till the engine blows.
Chevy should fix it without any issue, especially since this is a well known problem. Interested to see what the actual issue is and what Chevy does..
This shit happens way too much. I’m sitting here with my at4x like it’s a ticking time bomb and it’s only a matter of time before it takes a shit.
RIP! My ZR2 is on hold tell they fix the 6.2L! I would love to see them get the 3.0L Duramax in it and tune the motor up some.
Is the regulator in the alternator is going bad
I need to know what went wrong? Mine just did this yesterday!!
2022 Tahoe Z-71 exact same thing happened yesterday on our 6.2L.
I was going to upgrade but not now Thanks for video ✌️👍🇨🇦
@Text on telegram 👉 RFRacing hi not sure what your talking about but what was wrong with your truck and is it up and running 👍✌️🇨🇦
Where r u going and when premium gas in northern Colorado is 5.25 per gallon
I love the look of Chevy trucks. I just can't get passed the lack of quality in modern GM vehicles. I know soooo many people with Chevy Trucks and many with Cadillacs that have all sorts of problems. I went with a 2021 Tundra TRD Pro. It doesn't have the tech you'd like to see but I have yet to have a single issue with it.
This truck is sick keep it 🛻💯👌🏼
Had my 2022 sierra denali 1500 6.2 for about 5-6 months 8k miles on it and motor ceased last week needs new engine 78k truck it sucks hope gm buys it back
When you getting the toyota?
I’d honestly look at the new Colorado ZR2, they finally updated the interior and headlights. The major change is the engine with no longer being the 3.6, but it has more power with the twin turbo. Ooor get a Rebel
I just ordered a TB 6.2 should I just cancel?? What does everyone think!!??????
Did the engine seized ? Mine did two weeks ago and still at the dealer., what a crap ., they are all falling every 6.2 has a problem., there were 15 at the dealer with engine seized and every dealer has at less 5 or 6 mine has 17 all with the 6.2 ., cadi Suburban and yukons
My 2023 Sierra Denali Ultimate just lost its 6.2 at 5500 miles. They have installed a new engine and will be picking it up today. Man, this is concerning.
Wasn’t your ZR2 a preproduction show truck tho? Cuz I thought you said that when you bought it, so that’s why it would have its problems
RIP
can’t believe they still haven’t fixed the issue in their latest truck. i have the pulsar lt installed on my vehicle with afm turn off. i hope the issue can be avoided with this.
thank you for making this video made me make up my mind im not buying a new chevy
Sorry to hear about the ZR2. I'm new to the channel.
I have the same dash. Different engine. However my truck wouldn’t start and I have only owned for about 4 months. I couldn’t turn marker lights off. And the heater fan wouldn’t turn off. Towed to Chevy dealership and they ended up saying lights were left on, that’s bull. Also my radio doesn’t work properly and they won’t fix unless I can prove it. The radio works fine then all of a sudden it sounds like blown speakers. This happens periodically. They won’t even look at it.
Yeah idk what you did to it but you can’t horse around with it if you want to keep it nice.
My 6.2 laid over on me after 4000 miles on my 2021 ZL1 1LE. #3 main bearing
Rip silverado… honestly thats the reason i have been hesitant on getting a new truck and unfortunately its not just chevy even toyota is having issues ill just stay with my 17 silverado
I'm not a chevy guy, but people talk shit about ford all the time. I've NEVER been left on the side of the road in my car. Now it doesn't have A/C right now because the compressor won't... well.. compress air, but it's still going, and the only thing's i've replaced on it before 100k were the alternator and water pump. things that commonly go out on all cars.
A/C Compressors are common to go out as well, but that's all cars as well.
I would hope they warranty the engine because it's clearly a warranty issue, maybe the computer, maybe a chewed wire somewhere, who knows until it's diagnosed.
Hopefully it's not too bad and it can be brought back asap.
It would be neat to see a supercharged truck since chevy is very unlikely to even do one... they'd have to maybe put the ZL1 supercharger on the truck I think (still same engine... should fit right?!).
Anyway, I would maybe look for an older chevy truck to beat on, I think lots of people enjoy those kinds of projects too.
Same problem. Had to replace a wire harness. 10min fix.
Dude clean your throttle intake it should fix you stutter issue. It happened with my trailboss and my friends gmc sierra 2016. It fixed the problem
R.I.P. A real bummer. I really like the Silverado ZR2, I was planning on getting one for myself.
Did you say over $8 a gallon in CO? Where are you going that it’s so high? I live in Colorado Springs and Have a High Country with the 6.2 and use premium and it’s only (can’t believe I just said only 😬) $5.79 today, which is the highest I’ve seen it here.
RIP Nice truck sorry your having issues with it.
The new 5.3 and 6.2 with AFM and or DOD have major issues. I’m a huge GM guy, but I’ll never own an AFM or DOD vehicle. I actually just traded my AFM 5.3 for a GMC 2500HD 6.0 gasser… no cylinder deactivation and a proven GM motor 🇺🇸
I just traded in my 2018 LTZ in on a 2022 High Country. The HC has AFM delete on the MSRP. I had a delete dongle on my 2018 that I was planning to use on my 2022 HC. Both are 5.3's.
Body control module?
I heard the batter grounds are loose, I have had 2 guys tell me the went through and tighten all grounds and the issue was solved.
That would explain varying voltage and surges
The Colorado zr2 Bison with 33" is and absolute Beats!!
My 2022 6.2 seized last night. 15000 miles on it.
RIP . Dang I would be trading that truck in already. Can't have something brand new and leave you stranded. I always swear by AAA for towing even if you only use it once every five years it pays for itself. I pay the extra money for it and get 200 miles of free towing
Great video!!! with the unwanted news...RIP Silverado ZR2...
Listen my dad has a 2019 Chevy Silverado trail boss right
When we bought it was doing the same stuttering we were like what the heck?
So we called the dealership and they said bring it we will change trany fluid and we were like no that’s not it no that’s not it
Well we came around about it we changed it and it was running and this was like 2 years ago and the truck hasn’t gave us a problem
i had a GM sierra BRAND NEW and it was nothing but problems ......traded it in for a used 2014 tundra.....NEVER LOOKED BACK .....being a GM life long owner ....dont think i will ever go back
Waited 4 months for my GMC Sierra got the 6.2 on it and it turn off a block away from the dealership buddy was with me who is a salesman over there couldn’t stop laughing
