what about a fuse that may have blown, where is it located?

Mexicans drive 1965 Chevy

Porsche, no doubt!

had the eexact same experience - bought brand new - about a half dozen uses and the cord tore... then, no warranty, shop fee of $60 bucks..... nah, i watched another video (much better in fact) and did it on the kitchen counter in 10 minutes retying the same cord.... be safe

Deactivate AFM and your lifters will never fail ( firmware and hardware). after I had to change one lifter on my Chevy avalanche 2008, I deactivated the damn thing

This has been a problem since it was introduced in 2005. 2007+ GM trucks. GM knows it’s a poor design yet they won’t fix it

Find a mechanic that works out of his garage and let him disable it through the computer system. A lot less hassle.

Another reason not to buy a new car. They are trying to wear out engine prematurely

Is there more room in a C8 convertible? I’m 6 260 pounds.

Yes it’s annoying. I’m not sure of other makes but my 2017 Toyota Highlander has a button to turn the stop start off. Ya ya you have to push that button every time after you have turned the vehicle off because it “ defaults “ to the auto start stop. Push the button after you start 5he vehicle, it takes les# than 1 second. Or…… on my Highlander anyways, if you don’t come steaming up to a red light or stop sign and then get hard on the brakes without backing off a bit on the brake pressure just as the vehicle comes to a comes to a complete stop the “ feature doesn’t even engage. I drive my vehicle daily in stop and go traffic and the auto stop doesn’t engage at all and l’ve never push the button to turn the auto stop start off. In fact the info screen always warns me that the system won’t activate unless I push hard on the brakes. I never roll a stop sign, my wheels don’t move for at least 3 seconds after a complete stop. Quit your whining! Our Rav 4 hybrid does go into stop start mode but that’s not even noticeable because it is so seamless and you drive from a stop up to about 10 mph on the electric motors, then ga# kicks in and you can’t even tell.

I own a 2013 and a 2015 Silverado 1500 with the 5.3 engines both broken in my driveway. The 2013 has a little over 130,000 and the 2015 has only 37,000 miles, seems to me that there is thousands of vehicles with lifters problems and GM it’s not doing anything about it, me personally I will never buy another GM Vehicle in my life and will talk to all my family and friends about it so they don’t get stuck with the same problem.

Thank you for the awesome review!

I'm going to try this with a black porsche emblem i will be ordering. Once your emblems were dry did you apply a finisher to protect the paint?

Where is the sensor at

Thank you for this video. It’s was a huge help.

2021 3500 HD 4wd Denali and both front sides are out at 39k miles. Just found out they are on national back order. Even aftermarket hub assemblies are on back order so good luck with these everyone. Pretty disappointed of such an early failure on a truck that is driven like a baby. These should last easily 100k 🤬

2022 GMC sierra 15 At4 Limited owner here. Truck has 74,000 miles. While driving down the interstate,motor locked up. towed to dealership. said that a bearing had spun. handed me a $13,000 invoice for a motor replacement. The best part about this story is that the random dealership I was towed to (was out of town) had three identical trucks in the service department parking lot with the exact same problem ranging from 20,000 miles to 80,000 miles. after some back-and-forth with GM customer service they ended up giving me $5000 towards the engine replacement due to it being out of its 60,000 mile warranty, the rest of the 13k was on me. I was told by the dealership that GM is aware of the issue with this specific motor and are actively working on a solution to fix the issue. GM customer service told me that the replacement motor that was installed was exactly the same as the failed engine. They couldn’t even specifically tell me what had failed. Nor could they reassure me that the same thing would not happen to this new engine. They gave me a 100,000 mile/five year warranty (beyond greatful for that) Took about two weeks from the time of ordering engine to driving off the lot.

Let’s not forget the additional $2.00 per gallon gas tax and $.30 per mile charge in Communist CA. Not to mention electronic tax and tire disposal tax and $.10 per bag at stores and $.05 for every can, bottle or whatever else the P.O.S politicians can charge us for.

My 2014 Corvette 69,000 miles lifter failure June 2024

WOW! I never thought that pushing a button every time you get in your vehicle was such a labor intensive procedure. I cannot imagine what kind of severe mental anguish you must go through to have to also turn an ignition key or push a "Start" button or put on a seatbelt. I can almost feel the horror of you having to manually eat dinner with your hands or take a daily shower. What is the world coming to. This definitely must be an American.

Had done this many moons ago, but your video served as a great reminder of all the "secrets" of changing the tire.

The lighted emblem that is showing on the ground behind the car is showing you were to put your foot to do the foot open trick. You were mistaken as they are equipped with it and that is to aid you in finding the spot

thank you for explaining, I rent a truck to go camping once a year and I couldnt figure out what the L was for, this video really helped

Is it ok to just keep the truck on auto all the time? In summer, winter or any weather and situation?

I recently stumbled onto a video that studied the auto start stop function by way of engine oil analysis. The conclusion was that less wear particles were generated with auto start stop functional. With the function disabled the engine had higher idle time which means higher fuel dilution levels which is the main contributor to lower viscosity and higher wear levels. Interesting case study.

Can you imagine the number of starters ,batteries that tech will cost .

Luckily all of our 2019 and 2021 model 6.2 L trail bosses out here in the oil field has never had a problem and all of them are over 250,000 miles I think we've replaced a couple of alternators and one transmission out of four trucks so I'm not sure why our record is so good maybe because they are used every day for about 350 to 450 miles

I just had this happen to me this week on my 2010 Silverado with the 5.3 engine. Ugh!! Developed major ticking out of the blue. I've always used Mobil One synthetic with my oil changes. Figured it was the lifters and towed it to the dealer. They quoted me several thousand to replace just lifters. What a shocker right?? They also said it would be 12k if they replace the engine. Ahh, no. I had no idea about the AFM lifter problem with these engines until now. Since this motor has 148k and also a rear main seal leak I decided to just order a complete replacement long block with all updated components including a higher volume oil pump and no AFM stuff whatsoever. Engine with installation kit, 5yr warranty, and tax is 5200.00. Labor to install is 1800.00. I'll buy new injectors and ignition coils also but still way cheaper than a dealer. I love this truck ( a Z71). Definitely a hit to my savings accout but it will be as new again. I ve had no car payment for years and want to keep it that way. New rigs out there may look nice but who needs an 800 or 1000 dollar a month payment? No thanks.

I am not buying a new GM because of AFM issues.

WHAT IS THE OTHER CONNECTOR FOR.

Dropping the shifter into L and manually running it up to 5 (not 6) keeps the 6 speed models from dropping to 4cyl

In my 2018 Cruze I just drive in L and keep the selector in 6th. No stop/start.

Very good ,thanks so much for information

Great job guys… keep up the good work. I am a new GMC owner and I am learning a lot from you guys.

Send off tcm to hp tuners. Zero out allowed slip. Problem solved. Fluid changes are a band aid fix to the real issue.

The ESS is a pain in the ass. Just start the vehicle and push the button to disable it. I do this on my truck daily. Simple fix.

My truck has original motor with afm 2014 Silverado 183k miles and no failure yet

The problem is THE OIL. You HAVE to use Dexos oil because it has anti-foaming additives. Because the lifters are actuated using oil pressure as a hydraulic switch, any air bubbles in the oil make the hydraulic system compress air- fluid os not suppose to be able to compress in a hydraulic system. I have a 2013 with 220k miles. I have always changed MY OWN oil with a high quality Dexos like Castro or Mobile 1. Evertime I talk with someone who has experienced failure it has been a wealthy person who is to posh to change their own oil, to cheap to pay GM to do it, and almost always pay a quick lube shop to do it. Most quick lube ships use whatever oil and transmission fluid they can buy in bulk for the cheapest price with out regards for the varios formulas different designs require. Simple solution: Either change your own oil ON TIME using Dexos, over pay the Dealer who will always use the correct stuff that the manual says IS REQUIRED, or pay someone big money to perform an AFM delete. If you are financially fortunate enough to be able to afford a 6.2 Denali or Cadillac- don't pinch pennies on oil changes...

My 2017 silverado 1500 was working fine without issue until I took it in for normal servicing and the dealership said they went ahead and took care of the recall for me while I was there. It sounded great until shortly after that was done my truck started having this brake problem in low speeds primarily when trying to park. Side note, I tow a heavy trailer fairly regularly and it scared the crap out of me when all of the sudden I couldn't stop my truck and I hit another parked car. The dealership said it has nothing to do with what they did and it was solely my fault/problem. They were very quick to say for almost $2,000 they could fix the problem with my truck. I was so mad! I still get mad every time I pull into a parking lot to park my truck because I can't bring myself to pay that much money to them to fix what they caused. I already paid $2,200 to repair the car I hit when my brakes didn't work for the first time because I didn't know that what they did would cause my brakes to fail unexpectedly. It would be a second slap in the face to pay them to fix it. I should also mention I did not give them permission to do anything to my truck other than change the oil.

Thanks boss . I'm looking to purchase a s5

Ranks right up the with "safety" gas can nozzles.

What is the cutting tool being used at 6.45?

Yep! Thanks ... Works on the 2021 C8 Corvette too

I too hate auto stop!!! But this idiotic solution to achieve emissions & mileage requirements added thousands of dollars in cost to every vehicle. The better solution would have been to take the research & development money and use it for EV technology. S&S began in 2008 with hybrid vehicles, therefore development had to started in 2004 or earlier. EV technology gained production ready status in 2010s. Had auto makers committed to fleet conversion back then and take the strategy to prioritize midrange priced vehicles the matter of S&S dissatisfaction would mote in 2024. After seeing only a few minutes of struggle with remove 2 panels from the center console, I deemed the trouble to disable the hated S&S system not worth the effort and risk of introducing a rattle noise reminiscent of 70s vehicles. The situation is horrible and corrupt from greed.

even with extended warranties, your not safe. Ask any tech who works at a dealer and if they are honest, they will tell you how the ex warranty companies will hee haw the dealer around approving a repair. They will find any loophole they can to get out of paying to repair your vehicle. After all, they are in business to make money, not lose it. Everything they approve, they lose money. So your better off just taking that money you would spend on Ex warranty and saving it for when something breaks. If you have seen the complete opposite of what I'm saying, please enlighten me as to what ex warranty company you have, because they sure are not the norm if they approve everything that needs fixed.

if it's to loud, your too old. Sounds great.

@14:20 your wire that you have no idea what it is for, is for the dead key fob sensor so you can still start the truck. If your key fob is dead, you place it in the middle of the cup holder area.

I just rented one while my 2005 Corolla's in the shop. I like the way it handles, BUT ... all modern cars come without CD players, and I have dozens of CDs. I dislike listening to the yammer on radios. I like that it doesn't have a CVT. I wish that you had said more about the engine.

Well I have a 23 RST 5.3 and I've heard they have failures also. It's a concern but if you're willing to void the warranty then you can bypass or "delete" the AMF/DMF systems with tuners but obviously the choice is always on the owner because the warranty will be void. So far I've had no issue but I am considering a pulsar tuner to delete the fuel management system but also you can use it to change the speed limiter and other things too many to list actual. I've not done it yet but I am honestly thinking bout it
