- I wish I didn't have to post this video but my 2021 Chevy Silverado LT Trailboss 6.2 has left me stranded! This is a really unfortunate issue plaguing GM vehicles right now and unfortunately I was one of the unlucky ones! I will update y'all whenever they update me, really hoping this issue is resolved properly!

It sounds like no oil is in it.
The answer is GO GREEN! 😘Plus add 1000lbs of emissions to new Gassers, and Deisels Don't forget the 10% for the "big guy"🌈
you bought an american car! POS
@@yenkodavi3573 a lot of GM stuff is made in Mexico
Imfscrew is that an aftermarket exhaust you have?
I think GM got a little carried away with the cylinder deactivation. It's supposed to turn off 2-4 cylinders. Not all 8
Good one!!
Exactly!!!!!
Fuel Savings technique!
The Silverado cylinder deactivation can turn off up to 7 cylinders atleast from what I've read.
@KCBOBX by not shutting off half the motor. GM was actually pretty smart and they changed the way it works. It's a variable V4 which means that it doesn't just fire the same 4 cylinders, it still fires all the cylinders it's just half as much. The effective result is that you just have the engine firing half as much, but you still need to maintain the RPM which is. So by using that stored energy to keep it rotating at the same speed, but firing less, you get a better gas milage.
Edit: typo
For everyone having this issue. Make dang sure you're filing a report with NHTSA. Recalls don't get forced by the feds unless NHTSA sees an overwhelming issue.
I’ve reported all the issues with my truck on there
They'll find some bullshit loophole like they did with the 07-13 lifter failures, they should spend less on the legal team and kick some back towards improving quality

@@thatunknownguy2680 thanks man for reading my comment. I'm just having fun. But I am sorry about your truck brother.
I used to haul cars from a GM plant in the early 90's. And yes that saying is absolutely a fact. Saw things that would make you buy Japanese.
When GM integrated that cyclinder deactivation on pushrod engines, quality went downhill
6.2 dont have dod i thought?
They have to meet those CAFE standards set by the government.
Having heard and read horror stories with AFM and DFM I'm so glad mine didn't come with either... Conductor shortage. I'll happily drive 14/20 with my 5.3, as a V8, as it was intended from the moment of creation.
@@justinmoody3492 they do
@@gtzgreatride right, but you still build a quality motor. They slapped that crap together.
Sorry about your truck... after 40 years of buying GM, my engine blew on my Denali Yukon XL. This was my 17th truck. Everyone of them had trouble without exception. This did it for me... I traded it in for a Toyota Tundra. I miss the bells and whistles with GM but the dependability is worth it. Good luck with your claim.
That’s the way I look at it. I would rather have reliability over bells and whistle‘s all day long. You can always add bells and whistles to a lesser trim.
Yea I have a tundra. 170k no issues. This donut bought a new Chevy with 5K miles but hell, Mexico can build trucks!
@@BenH3939 A fellow youtuber pointed out...Silverado is made in CHINA!!! I checked and by Christ he is right.
My new Tundra needed a battery at 6 months....rest of the truck is flawless. Almost 10 000 kms now.
I bought a Tundra. Just don’t use it to actually work the transmission will not hold up. Mine is in the shop getting another transmission under Warrenty. I use my picks for snow plowing contracts and also to haul equipment around.
Feel like Chevy lost its way after the vortec engines.
I just think they like to cut corners more now and the quality control of most brands like Ford and GM is disgraceful nowadays
Amen brother
I'm watching all these videos of issues with new gm's and I'm thinking I must be lucky. I'm still driving an 07 escalade esv with 6.2 vortec and thank God no issues at all. It's sad to see this happening with GM.
The 4.8, 5.3, 6.0 and 6.2s were all great engines… until they started putting active fuel management BS in it… ruined it.
Gm didn't learn their lesson with the V8 6 4 Cadillac engines. WTF Chevy?!
My nephew likes the GMC Sierra Denali's and he's always having troubles with them...but he keeps getting them 🙄 😒
Regardless of the issue, if it went t*ts up this early, don't expect it to get better. Turn it back in, get all your money back and move on.
You can't just turn a sale in after moding the ECU. His own video will be the downfall. I really wish him luck as I bought a Badlander for 90k and hope this doesn't happen to me.
Well, i'm sure the yuppies who can afford this truck can afford to fix it every few months/years.

@@juanseguin111 nope. Blame democrats, the only issues with new American cars are emissions related.
Thanks for the video. I have a 19’ Trailboss that did the same thing today! I’m pissed! Taking it to the shop tomorrow.
Sad to see chevy go down hill with quality. Everyone I know who has one has so many problems. I've always had a Toyota and I've never been stranded on the shoulder. I plan on keeping it that way. Well thank God for your warranty tho.
I’m a die hard fan of Chevy and I wouldn’t trust that generation again

Ford trucks are made insanely well compared to chevy...WAY more reliable
@@befreud I don't like modern chevy or modern Ford, but I can agree newer ford's are better than newer chevys, though I'd take a 99-05 siverado in a heartbeat.

I wouldn't accept anything but a new engine . Metal shavings are all through that engine and it's junk in my opinion
I agree but they won't If it's the lifters then they will replace the lifters and ship it not the decision of the dealership or the mechanic but GM.
Agreed A few people I know are just like they will replace the lifters and all will be ok …. I am like are you kidding me that bitch just made some metal !!!!!
Shudnt dey flush d engine to get rid of d metal shavings?
Whole things are junk, if you get a new motor the tranny will probably fail within a few miles and the rear end.
Most likely not with a lifter and how little he drove the car after it happened. I would definitely do a few oil changes. One immediately after the work and another in 500-1000 miles to be safe.
Mine just blew up too!!! I have an RST 15540 miles and blew about a day ago. I feel you! Same noise same process and everything. I got mine in the shop and I really feel for you. Every second of this video I feel for you and it sucks sooo much. The “we don’t have a check engine light on yet” was me until like 5 min later today it came on😂
Ever since 2008 the absolute first thing to do with any LS/LT enhine is at the bare minimum get a tuner and turn off all DoD/AFM/cylinder deactivation software...it would be wise and the best option to have it mechanically deleted as well.
@burgerflipper yes, it will
DO it if you wanna keep the otherwise great tuck! The 8 t0 4 cyl shit is jamming the eng on transition to other modes!! The Plug in module nsold on line STOPS the 8 to 4 cyl mode and HOPEFULLY eliminates the problem. What a damned shame GM!
This issue is still happening. Purchased a 6.2 Trailboss yesterday. Today, exactly the same symptoms as your truck experienced. Failure happened with 72 miles on the odometer. Towed to the dealer with them saying one of the cylinders has lost compression caused by a broken spring or collapsed lifter. They will crack it open tomorrow to officially check the cause. The door sill has a manufacturer's date of 7-21. Didn't even have it for a full day.
🤣🤣🤣🤣 my bad bro but what 72 miles and the sad thing is its a 2021 thats crazy 😕
Damn sounds like a piece of sh*t truck
Damn thats cold blooded
Do you know where it was made your truck. Canada USA or México
poor american quality
Oh bro, that's serious engine damage, that knocking, is lifter failure. Holy cow I feel bad for you, but it's warranty work thank your lucky stars. Keep us posted, all the best
I wonder what the build date is, and if it's covered in the valve spring failure tech service bulletin
I work at a busy travel stop outside Phoenix and I can say that probably every day there's a newer truck broke down in our parking lot waiting for a tow.
I noticed that most the vehicles that are broke down or being worked on in our lot are newer. I bought a 98 ford crown Vic police interceptor with 125,000 miles and that thing hasn't failed me one bit since I bought it. I tell people their better off buying something older and throwing a rebuilt engine in it if needed than to buy something new these days.
Had the same happen on my 2018 Silverado LT. Took me over a month to get parts and all the rockers were tight so I had to pull both heads and replace every lifter to get it gone. Hopefully it doesn’t happen again for a while.
I would want a new crate motor swapped in ... I don’t like having a brand new motor being ripped apart and repaired. That’s why you bought a brand new truck ...
amen!
If something failed at 5K imagine how much other stuff went wrong in the production process
I don’t think it matters what you want them to do GM tells them what they are going to pay to get it fixed.
He mod the engine so if the dealer finds out that he void warranty he would pay for it
Needs a 5.0 Coyote swap 💪
Go to dealer and take pictures when the motor is apart like me! The heads where pitted and damage and they slap mine back together ! Then it happen again! Yes it sucks, I’m done with GM after 30 years ! You will get it back and it will still tick!

👏🥰👍👍👍👍
Haha, you Toyota guys are funny. The older yotas were awesome. New ones? Total piles, just like any other brand. I'm a Ford and Toyota guy, but even BOTH of these brands are having a LOT of problems. Mostly sensor and electrical that I see, but fitment and other major quality issues.
They are certainly not well made, just a decade ago. Quality is going right down the toilet, Ford too. They are riding the name.
Facts facts, even when my feelings are involved.
I was once young like you and in 1988 I bought a new 2500 4x4 and it with through five alternators and after watching the serpentine belt come off on alternator #5 and jiffy pop my truck’s hood I knew I had more than enough. Sad to see things have not changed. GM just does not have the engineering ability/tenacity to deliver quality. Now in 2022, 33 years I still have not entered a GM showroom.
I have a 21 trail boss. I luv the truck. My lifters went at 6900 miles the first side , 1000 miles later the 2nd side went. Now I put an AFM deactivation module in the ODB 2. 17k now and works like a champ.
Good job doing the deactivation. Supposedly all these bad lifters/bent push rods are bad batches of parts but who really knows.They should recall them.
@@ArcConAK chevy should. However they sometimes they do forget where they came from. I had a 87 Monte Carlo, car would not die. I even finished a demolition derby with it and still ran Chevrolet made cars that use to last.
That’s that new hit and miss quality control program that GM started in January
GM always been like that not just January
Yeah it’s been like that the last 30 years or so.
Lawyer.
@@dalestephan6777 bingo
Its been years.. not just a new thing
I would almost guarantee that an AFM event caused a lifter to overextend and bend a pushrod. Seen it HUNDREDS of times on these LT’s. The fact that it happened while cruising adds to the likeliness of that being the culprit.
It is that cyclinder deactivation crap they put in those engines to save mpg! That is a guarantee!
@@mion1981 - I think the cylinder deactivation is also so it passes newer Federal and State (like California) Emissions Control requirements (smog). I just got mine. 28 Miles, even worse problems than LFM Screw (imported it from Texas to California, bought it outright). Big mistake, not buying locally (and test driving it), but there was no inventory because of COVID here (and what inventory there was - was $20K higher for less truck). I fear this DFM, Autostop, Cylinder Deactivation, etc., is yet another issue related to liberal/ leftists and their "emissions control panacea/ utopia" (radical environmentalism). They're killing this country.
@@mion1981 not a guarantee you are very incorrect sir
AFM has nothing to do with emissions.
@John Smith your burb only has to pass emissions standards for its model year. 2022s have to pass whatever regulations are in place for that year
I know 5 people that have this issue. One was 400 miles away in another state. He had to drive a rental home with his kids. When they found out he was out of state with the rental, they went off on his, even though he told them a number of times. He had to drive the rental back to Cali and drop it off.. I feel your pain. He got a 2021 Ram 2500 and he absolutely loves it. Will not buy GM again.
Ram is the way to go
I had a 2015 Silverado and at 30K miles the trans started slipping and making a grinding sound. Still under warranty I took it to the dealer and they said that they didn’t fix transmissions there. I saw that there was a class action lawsuit against GM for that same problem. So I went with Toyota. Do your homework ppl. Love my Tundra.
Yeah my uncle has a 2500 Denali that did the same thing under a thousand miles. They honored the warranty and dropped a new engine in and he hasn’t had an issue since
Some dealers don’t honour it which is stupid
He will again if he doesn’t disable that AFM bullshit
Why would you accept a new motor in a brand new truck? I want a whole new truck
@@axebeard7677 right, any truck failing less than 10000 miles I ain't going to trust that truck no more lol
206k miles on my 06 tahoe. still running like a charm. whenever get a new vehicle it definitely won’t be anything from chevy unless they get their shit straight.
You're dreaming.. it only gets worse as time goes on. They can't fix anything when they're constant trying to reinvent the wheel.
Your Tahoe is one of the last quality cars GM made before they went bankrupt.
Same. 05 suburban with 217k on it. I love this generation of Chevy; enough to make it luxurious without going over the top, easy as hell to repair and parts are widely available. The only flaw is the 4l60e....but in my experience, rebuild it once and you'll never have a problem again.
I doubt I'll ever buy a newer vehicle. I paid $6k for my suburban in 2018. I can't justify the cost of new vehicles when mine rubs perfectly fine. I just see more things that can break on new cars.
Mine hit 300K still runs like it’s brand new
@@Lu-e that bmw?? sheeeshhhh
250k on My 06 Tahoe z71- No oil seeping- everything working- on 5k - No oil use - transmission shifting like new. With 4.10 gear from factory- using mostly for towing.
I might be a ford guy but I've literally seen them getting towed back from test drives, blown up or losing the entire front wheel (i think their control arms breaking are a constant issue there) in any case a new truck regardless of brand having this happen at 5k miles is dogshit.. Best a luck to ya man
American car makers can't build crap anymore :(
Scotty is laughing so hard right now I can hear him already 😁😂🤣

That’s every fucking dealership service department everywhere, all brands. They always act like they’ve never heard of the problem you’re having before.
@@Jkur2009 I’ve brought my Truck in with the same problem a few months apart and they still were baffled. Twice I needed fuel injectors replaced on my F150 and both times they thought it was coils.
My uncle has the same exact truck and the same thing happened to him at 4300 miles. He ended up needing a total top end rebuild, the lifters are apparently what caused it.
my 2019 was the same way; new cam and lifters at 25,000
I loved the way the truck looks and really love chevy
Ive had 3 toyotas and went back to a tundra with a v8 that stays v8 full time
Dynamic fuel management and 8 speed transmission is too many
when you restrict oil to shut off cylinders thats bad engineering.
GM still sources their lifters from the same Chinese firm that Dodge/Ram used to for the Hemis up until 2014. They are absolute crap.

I have '19 LT (new style) with over 57K miles and luckily have had no major issues. My truck has the Borla Type-S cat-back exhaust, K&M cold air intake. Only recurring minor issue (for now) is the sudden jerking in low gear which is attributed to the 8L90 transmission. This issue has been occuring since before the factory warranty had expired, but the dealer cannot mover forward unless there is a service bulletin that will allow GM to cover the cost. Fortunately I have an extended warranty up to 120K miles. I received the Pulsar LT and will install today and hopefully see positive changes from my engine. Trucks have truly come a long way. I also have a '90 S-10 with179K miles with orginal motor and transmission and spend about $4k to get it up and running. FYI still running the same transmissino oil for the past 30 years and she purrs like a kitten

Rofl soooooo true!!
I went through months of them trying to fix my ZR2 Bison and they ended up just buying the truck for over bluebook and getting me into a 1500 Diesel. Depending on state will determine what your options are. Make sure you have a case number with GM! Call and bug them every time the dealer tells your something. Call the GM hotline and talk to them.
🙌 Thank You for sharing this! It explains why locally they have as many 21s & the prices also to me. 😩😩😩 You helped save me perhaps. At least from a lot more wasted time on researching them. Lol
This same thing happened to my 2021 Chevy on my way to work two days ago. The dealership tried to get out of offering me a loaner. The guy said “You’re just like 4 other people that come in here every day with this same problem.” They told me I’ll be at least a month without my truck. My daughter and I were all set to go on a 2000 mile road trip next week. I’m glad it happened close to home.
I think it is only affecting the Mexican made trucks. You can pay a little extra and get one made in Fort Wayne Indiana. The ones put together in Mexico are using cheap chinese parts in the engines and transmissions.

Makes me love my 1993 Silverado even more. My friend has a 2021 Silverado coming up on 5000 miles. I hope he doesn't have this problem.
His engine blew bc he installed a Pulser LT that messes with the way the engine performs from acceleration sensitivity and disables some factory settings. It didn’t go out just because it’s a bad lemon. He installed that junk expecting to “unleash” the v8 beast and instead unleashed death on his v8 and voided warranty.
Send this video to your friend and maybe he can get it resolved before any serious damage is done to it.
The 1988-1998 were considered the last of the Good Ones Behind the 1973-1987 square bodies which were considered the toughest.
You got that right. I got a 94 k1500 . That's when they had pride in their trucks and built them to last. I wouldn't have a new truck.
How is his truck now?
I had the the same thing happen to me and then some . I got the same excuses from the local dealer "were too busy " after 4 months of back and forth BS I went and bought a brand new Ford F250 which is an amazing truck. I get better fuel mileage and I get a higher payload capacity
I’m so happy with my 6.2L V8 in my 16’ 250 XL. No BS, no “technology” that leads to all these issues. I dread when I’ll have to buy a newer truck that won’t last
Its will break valve springs, common issues
Same thing happened to mine. Exact same noise, lifter collapse with bent rod. Mine was at 8k miles. Traded two days later for my f250. Good luck!
Did the value of the truck get affected after it was fixed?
Exactly 💯
@@bigboiz101 not really, I paid 47 for my LT TB. Traded for 45k. But what would kill you is if you had to repay sales tax. In Texas you only pay sales tax on the price difference. So only paid sales tax on $8k. So... but yea if a state that you pay full again, probably loose your butt.
Newer GMs are iffy, I wouldn’t touch them with a 10 feet pole
Great, you traded it in for another junk? LOL
I work for Chevy you did get lucky, you made it over 5k miles😂😂

As someone else that works in the Chevy service department, he’s lucky it wasn’t under 3k miles and didn’t need a new tranny as well
And honestly the LT platform is pathetic, they need to go back to the LS without all of the computer BS and lightweight parts for “efficiency”. It will never be efficient if you have to drive back and forth to the dealership every other month.

First of all, I just want to inform you that I live in Bangkok, Thailand, so the GM products in the Asia/Pacific Region where I am may not be exactly the same as what is sold in North America. Having said that, what I use is a GM vehicle under the Chevrolet badge. We have a Chevrolet Trailblazer, 2015. This is essentially a modified Chevrolet Colorado to create a station wagon, or SUV body-on-frame of the compact size. The engine is a 2.8L Duramax Diesel unit with a turbo charger, putting out 200hp and 500Nm of torque. We use it in town, driving less than 7000km per month, with about 4-5 trips a year to the beach, meaning around 650km per trip (to and fro). After using the vehicle for only 3 years, we had some issues with the engine. At the dealership/garage, they informed us that the turbo body was cracked and needed replacement immediately. My wife informed me of this at the time and I was shocked! I thought that such a major repair should be at least 10 years down the road with the low mileage we have on it. The good news was that the vehicle was still under warranty, so they changed it for us free of charge. They however informed my wife that had we had to pay for the new turbo charger, it would've costed us 37,000 Baht or about 1,100 USDs. We have had the vehicle for nearly 6 years to date and have not had any other major issues with it. Despite not having anymore issues with our Trailblazer, we are not going to buy another GM vehicle not only because GM had just pulled out of the Thai market last year, but also because we still believe we shouldn't have had any major engine problems with the vehicle at all that early on with the otherwise new truck. From now on we will be looking at Toyota just to rid ourselves of any unjustifiable mechanical worries in the future.
PS: GM had not completely pulled out of the Thai market yet as they have GM auto parts company which are importing parts for sale to showrooms/garages that are still servicing GM vehicles in the country for at least another 10 years. I also heard of Delco working with local investors in setting up Delco service centers that will service GM and other makes as well. Possibly, some time in the future GM will be back in the Asia/Pacific Region.
The Trailblazer in Asia is basically an Isuzu Mu-X. They are bulletproof. Be wary of their Chinese based /Daewoo. The 1.5 turbo sucks!!!
First thing I thought was collapsed lifter. After seeing the follow up video I was close to correct. Bad lifter and a bent pushrod. Not good but fixable. Pretty common in the Chevy’s from what I hear.
I'm a GM mechanic. The V8s live on all our hoists ! No idea why GM insists on making such junk. You'll be lucky to make it to the 2nd oil change.
Wow....I haven't made it to my second oil change. Made a appointment today, in now my truck is acting up. 11,890 mile on it...Damn
@@larrypbillips70 My best, professional advice to you... and this comes with years of experience as a GM mechanic.... is to get a Ford next time ! It's a superior product.
So sorry this happened to you, keep us updated on what happens
I’d get rid of it with as much money as you can, if this happened at 5k, there’s a number of other things that could go wrong, consider another brand or earlier model year
This. Right after the lifters went out on my 2017, the catalyst converters went out for some reason?
I just got mine. 28 Miles, even worse problems than LFM Screw (imported it from Texas to California, bought it outright). Big mistake, not buying locally (and test driving it), but there was no inventory because of COVID here (and what inventory there was - was $20K higher for less truck). I fear this DFM, Autostop, Cylinder Deactivation, etc., is yet another issue related to liberal/ leftists and their "emissions control panacea/ utopia" (radical environmentalism). They're killing this country.
@@Sovereign_Citizen_LEO I’m sorry to hear about your truck, these things are such a big investment, to get screwed over like that really is tough, praying for you
@@sebastianmartin2853 - Thanks. I hope I can get it fixed or have GM buy it back. It's already cost me $400 for a rental car when I took it to the dealership (and they didn't fix it). I told the mechanic "it sounds like a bad lifter or push rod", and he was like "yeah, that's normal" (as if it happens all the time and I should just live with it/ not worry about it until the entire engine fails). This is crazy.
@@Sovereign_Citizen_LEO yeah. That sure is the real reason right there, chief.... lol just blame the other side. What if I told you, both your side and the left are stupid. Zero leadership and vision.
Took my truck in for a 20 minute repair covered under warranty
August 1st. Finally fixed it September 27th. What is wrong with all the new car service departments?
This problem is so common, I was fixing one in my repair shop when the Snap on tool salesman came in, he told me every shop he went to in the last week had at least one of these GM V8s apart for the same thing. Its pretty much every GM V8 from 2014 and up, most of the time the engine has to be pulled out to change the camshaft, sometimes your lucky and only have to remove the cylinder heads. There is a thing where people have made a tool to unstick the lifter but I did that on one and it didn’t last a month.
Good luck brother. Haven't had any issues with my 18 Silverado 5.3 or my wife's 20 Suburban 6.2, but these situations are too common these days. 🤘
Yeah my 2018 5.3 just hit 53,000 mi. I just had the two year anniversary is about my 2019. All those miles are highway miles is I've driven it hard cross country towing the boat and thankfully I have not had any issues. I have the six-speed transmission so I'm hoping it's combination can get me 300,000 miles or more
2018 was one of the most reliable gm of tall time that being said the 17s 19s and 21s have been lemons the 20s weren't as bad
That really sucks man. I hope that the end result is positive for you and the future of you and GM.
the positive ending is buying a reliable JAPANESE superior quality cars
@@juansanchez-ve5vu with half the features and double the price.
End result is GM getting a bailout again
Feb 2020 purchased a 2021z71. 2000 miles, driver front axle makes a chingling sound, sometimes it's like the transmission or rear end is coming out of the truck, Severe jolt, occasionally. Physical buttons for the a/c sometimes come on. Belt tensioner been replaced. It now has 26000 miles. Your scenario is what is I fear happening. Trying to make the 3 year warranty mark before miles run out.
They have also been known to spin some main bearings in 18,19, and 20, haven't heard anything yet about 21s
The same thing just happened to my 2021 6.2L Trail Boss at 8K miles. GM service manager said there is indeed a bulletin out on the issue. I am contemplating what course of action I should take. IMO this will always hurt resale due to being a common problem. People with minimal knowledge on auto problem/repairs will tend to shy away from purchasing a model with notorious problems, no matter how minor and no matter the repair. Good luck with yours.
What did they do to fix it?
@@RoxyReyes The dealership replaced all 8 lifters on the effected side.
I have a 2019 Sierra and a blew a lifter at the exact same amount of miles almost to the number. I think mine went at like 5,200 miles! Same feeling I had like the transmission was going. That is unreal!
That’s exactly why you don’t buy a new Chevy.

I bought a 14 base Silverado with the v6 and 4x4. I really like it as it's good on gas, has lots of power for a 6. I put on a afm device that plugs into the computer outlet. The tranny seems weak to me though. I had an external tranny cooler installed and it does run cooler now. I got the base because all the garbage they put on the higher end trucks is just more stuff to go wrong and my truck has everything I need. I don't have power windows, but I have a/c, a crappy radio, 4x4 shifter on the floor where it belongs, cruise, tilt. No power seats, heated seats. I only have 51K miles on her. I pray she holds up.
I got a 2019 GMC Sierra Denali 5.3 V8 brand new 12-31-19 and got a good 119,720 miles out of it and just had a lifter drop on me yesterday morning on my way to work. Any update on your issue yet?
I had a 2017 Malibu Premier with every factory option except self-parking, white pearl, black leather with panoramic roof, loved it until it reached 20,000 miles and the entire breaking system went out on 405 in Seattle, a week later it was fixed. At 30,000 the entire navigation / dash system went out and had to be replace. That was fixed and the next week the battery failed. The next week I bought a Lexus. No more American cars!!
Whats a breaking system
Typical issue. It's really really frustrating for customers, lately I've seen mileage 3500-8500 and the active lifters either collapse or separate, this will also cause pushrod damage. No engine replacement, but it will be fixed
Guarantee a blown maxi fuse is the reason it won’t crank. Super common. I work at a gm dealer. The lifters are absolute junk. I would never buy any newer 5.3/6.2. Such a common issue that we can’t keep up with rentals. Parts are on back order. Huge mess
Going through the exact same thing right now. My 2020 Silverado RST 5.3L drove just fine the day before. The next morning I get in it to go to breakfast and the thing sounded horrible and wouldn’t stay running. Had to call the tow truck to tow it to the dealer. Now I get to wait till Monday or Tuesday to find out what’s wrong with it.
I'm a Chevy/GM guy myself and hearing of all the problems they are having with the new models is pretty damn disturbing man. Sucks this happened to you man, that truck was lookin damn good. Hopefully everything works out brother
@@thunderbolt5354 how so ?
I had a new 2019 f250 with 12,000 miles and the transmission grenaded itself. New trucks are just junk
I think it is only affecting the Mexican made trucks. You can pay a little extra and get one made in Fort Wayne Indiana. The ones put together in Mexico are using cheap chinese parts in the engines and transmissions.
@Edgar Martinez my brother in law had the same problem with a 2009 4.8 with 120,000 miles
poor american quality stop buying gm products
I’ll be honest, its almost tainted now. I personally wouldn’t want it back. I currently have an 2018 Z71 with 25k miles on it. Love the vids. Good luck buddy
I have an 18 z71 as well with 30k miles on it, im loving it. I just installed the range afm disable and it drives like a totally different truck. I will never buy a new silverado. I work as a tech for chevy and we have had countless 20 and 21 silverado's in the shop with engine issues. We just had a 20 in the shop with 200 miles with a bent push rod. Those new trucks are garbage
@chevyguy when you say your truck drives different, do you mean it drives better? I have an 18 and am thinking about buying the range afm disabler.
@@willemrey39 it drives better
Hell my 18 needed rings an pistons at 25k was using oil
I had a 2018 Z71 with 28k miles on it and they had to replace the torque convertor and was still having issues with the 6 speed transmission. so I decided to trade it in.
One of the many reasons I walked away from GM years ago. Tired of dealing with garbage.
Lol that's exactly what happened to my truck but it was at 4 thousand miles. Mine collapse 2 lifter and 1 bent push rod. They treated me like crap and will never go GM again. After it was fixed started miss firing after thousandmiles. Went back to ram and won't change again.
My 2003 with 181,000 miles on it runs like a champ still. Never had it in the shop for anything. I thank God for that.
Thats awesome. Got 260,000 on my 2005 with the lm7. It does need new heads soon though.
I have never even changed the oil in my 2000 Silverado 4x4 with the 4.3 V6 I bought for a $1000 cash as a beater about 5 years ago. It's actually in pretty decent shape. Everything still works, and it's 100% reliable. It runs smooth as a top still with over 260k miles.
I've been trying to kill it before I swap in a 5.3 but it just won't die.
We need to start a class action suit over this
When you add a programmer and have the motor do something it was not designed for it is NOT GM's fault. Dude will be buying a new engine, this is definitely neglect.
Just go to Larry the lemon I call those guys already they are pretty good
@@db5235 yes because the engine can’t handle 15 extra hp.. the lifters are known to go out stock or not.
@@tjmakings See... there you go making assumptions. We know this guy did exhaust, did he do headers as well, he has a CAI, that can be as much as 30hp or more gained.. then you adjust factory programing.. AND he is HAMMERING it, at that point, IMO GM does not and should not have to warranty the motor. The programmer explicitly states in their product warranty that they are not liable for any damage occurred by using their product.
So how F'ing stupid do you have to be to use a product that the manufacturer does not stand behind and that can void and should VOID your warranty on your new 50K+ truck.

If you are running a business and sell a product with a warranty. Should you have to provide warranty coverage when a 3rd party item is used on your product.. and it breaks your product. NO. That would be insane.
F'ing common sense man. I have no sympathy for this dude.
@@db5235 my question is why would anyone with a 6.2 need more power? It's already one of the quickest and most capable half tons out the gates. The exhaust and wheels are just for posing because even if they do add 20-30 HP with exhaust, intake and tune, the question still stands... WHY?
Went from Chevy to ford in 2008. F350 sold with 220 thousand miles with one warranty issue. 2014 f150 135 thousand miles with nothing done but maintenance and still have it. 2019 f250, currently have 88 thousand miles and everything original. Satisfied ford customer!
My 09 Civic Si has never had one engine problem with 195k miles on it. It actually idles so smooth you barely can tell it's on. That truck looks nice at least!
No I wouldn’t want the truck back,
I would expect all money back I paid and get a different truck. Good luck to you my friend 🙂
Assuming that the warranty wasn't voided.
I feel really bad for you. I bought my AT4 truck new back in the fall of 2019. I put 70,000 miles on it as of today. I left it on all wheel drive auto and drove it everyday. It’s been a great truck with good gas mileage. Im currently on my second set of tires. The only problem I have is Once on a while, some minor issues with some sensor warning light comes off and on but it usually corrected itself. So far, I’m very happy with my truck And I’m a Toyota Tundra guy.
That is how it starts, the exact same thing happened to me if I was you I would take a picture next time it flashes on and take it to the shop guarantee you have lifter problems.
Extremely common issues. Local dealer ship, my buddy alone is doing a couple a week. Trying to get me to move to the dealer ship to help because of the back log.
I'm soooooooo thankful the factory was shut down when I was looking for a truck and couldn't order one.
Went with an '88 square body Chevy. Never look back.
I have a 2019 Classic and haven’t had any issues (yet), but honestly at 5k miles….. I’d dump it cause if it’s a known issue, it may come up again and be worse down the line
Poor guy, GM ain't going to offer him a new truck... He's dreaming.
They should give him a new engine or new truck bc there is no excuse for a BRAND NEW truck blowing up it's sad how poorly made these new cars are.
GM's quality has been falling since the late 2000s. Its a shame really.

@@chrishansen7004 somebody out there with a cateye with a horror story lol all the new trucks today are lemons lol they don’t make them to last. 350 v8 was the last great motor
I was wondering if the Pulsar LT you installed was on the truck prior to the motor problems. Or did you install afterwards? The upload dates are close. I thought the devices were meant to disable the DFM and keep these things from happening. I want a Silverado and am shopping to buy one very soon. Thanks for sharing.
Even if you disable the lifters still go up and down and are trash. The AFM and DFM Disabler does nada for it
I am having problems with mine as well. I have had one bank of lifters replaced. I have had intermittent check engine lights which will go away when I turn the truck off and turn it back on later. Sometimes when I get the check engine light it will be accompanied by a service esc notice and service parking brake notice with the engine shaking the whole truck. I took it to the dealer the first time I had the check engine light after having the first bank of lifters replaced but like I said the light is intermittent so it went out and they said there was nothing they can do since there is no light. I have gotten a few since but haven't brought it back because they keep clearing within a few hours of appearing so I suspect the dealer will say the same thing. Most commonly though is the issue of it jerking as I'm cruising down the road at a constant speed including with cruise control on. Once again though it's intermittent and doesn't give me an engine light. I bought DFM disabler to see if that would get rid of that problem but it doesn't seem to have done so. I don't have to hit the button to disable the stop start function when I have the disabler plugged in though. So I got that going for me, which is nice. I'm at 12k miles. I hate that this is a problem because I do like the truck otherwise. Also my state does not require dealers to provide loaners.
This is why I did not go with Chevy when I bought my new truck. I ended up going with a Toyota.
I might do the same. Always been a Silverado guy, but dam they half assed the new builds. Toyota might be in my future now
Good choice...Taco or tundra ?

Toyota Tundra gang baby they’re shit is jst so much better, even if you gotta pay a little more it’s worth it best trucks out there by a landslide
Sometimes it’s just broken valve springs. Then again, Covid shut downs really hurt the quality in my opinion. All of the components where hard to get them all the parts manufacturers started back up and rushed through production to get products out. Then at the assembly line some people didn’t want to come back to work so there’s a shortage of workers. That puts the rush and pressure on everyone else there. It has been tough, I’ve been a GM master tech for 20 years, this past year has been rough.
Plus GM had a Union strike last year (not sure if it was related to COVID). But they also had a COVID shutdown. And then they had the parts (and Microprocessor) shortages.
Covid? Gm has had problems for many years now.....
Absolutely true statement! But with all that being said as a engine builder for GM there is a engine break in protcal that's not being done basically built and shipped for that reason shortage of everything including employees sad but true!
You probably voted for Alzheimer's bidin.
Had my new Chevy Silverado RST 2021 in the shop 3 times this year. It is in he shop now and the dealership is telling me the emissions module needs to be replaced that was 2 days ago. I got a call this morning and they are telling me the lifters need to be replaced. Don’t know what lifters are or how serious this problem is but this is disturbing on a brand new truck.
I made it to 17,000 in my 2021 6.2 trail Boss. Three weeks for a new lifter. No loaner cars. Law suits between GM and plaintiffs in Detroit.
"Don't forget to fill out the survey and if you could just give us 5 stars or anything else is basically a 1 star. " I swear this is all the chevy guys up here care about.
To an extent, yes. However, the Manufacturer and dealership owner/management put so much stress on these Stupid, Completely Unnecessary and Absolutely Unfair surveys, that it is stressful. They tie the salesmen's and managers pay to them.
However, most (no, not all) but most salesmen do care about how things go with the vehicles.
Yeah it is. If something in your job was required for you to get paid I’m sure you’d care about it too bub
No kidding. The Chevy dealer I went to did the same thing. Was not a great buying experience. On my first oil change I took it to at the same dealer they put the wrong oil in my truck after I specifically Told them to use dextrose D not regular dextrose…I had to go back and have them put the right oil in it. Pretty incompetent that a dealer can’t even put the right oil in a vehicle they sell
Then they had the nerve to ask me to give them a 5 star survey on their “service “. Lol
@@chop2093 sadly they hold the advisors pay & many others to this. So they have to rely on others to do the correct/right thing so their check doesn't get hurt. So parts person, the tech, the porter, detailer etc.
Now I've heard to still do 5 stars BUT when they ask for a comment, make sure to say what the issue is. That's so advisor doesn't get hurt BUT ur issue gets resolved. We get any survey back that gets comment good or bad & obviously the 1s with low stars.
It's crazy bc our dealer is older, don't have all high-tech stuff for customers & a question is about that stuff. Gets bombed everytime, finally they took that off what the employee gets scored by.
The Honda dealers are like that too 😂
GM should just get rid of cylinder deactivation already. For the last 3 generation of trucks this has been the most common issue.
Yep, 100% agree. After having a GMC with it that caused a cylinder misfire I switched over to the Ecoboost (as a diehard GM fan). I could be going from 1 frying pan to the next but we'll see. Lol

There is an after market part you can get that will bypass that feature. I got one an installed it myself within the first 1000 miles didn't notice much change in fuel economy anyway. But I didn't have to worry about that anymore truck ran great had 36000 miles on it then traded for 2020 GMC 1500 3.0 diesel love it.
Why did you put your stock wheels back on before taking it for service? Would different wheels void drivetrain warranty?
