Yup he’s right about the seat leaning thing. I thought I was going crazy because it felt like the seat was leaning to the left slightly. 2015 Silverado
Literally the right/passenger side of the truck is HIGHER than the left side! The passenger coil spring is 1/4”-1/2” longer! Measure from the exact center of the rim to the bottom of the fender well! You’ll see
I bought a 16 Sierra SLE a few years ago. Low miles, not loaded with power options. Hasn't been bad so far. Kept my 97 Silverado short box regular cab 4x4. Can't say the 5.3 is a bad motor but I like the vortec 350 in the 97 better so far. It has 225,000 miles on it and still going strong. The only problem is the rust especially at the doors and the rockers below the doors. Not sure how the newer truck holds up. Hopefully as well as the old one.
The AFM/DOD garbage on those 5.3 engines that causes the lifters to fail is the only complaint I have about them. And the weak transmissions of course.
@@Brian-dh9lp I hear all these story but my 2014 has 327 thousand miles still going and it's used for work so it's load down with 2 tool box's plus pulls a 8000 lb pump and I have a 2019 with 267 thousand
Get into the trades and you will be able to afford it easy, also try mechanics so you know how to fix it after warranties out, I am a mechanic myself and the labour saving is great, parts are always expensive on new stuff though but I expect the price to go down after newer body styles have come and gone down the line
I love Chevy more than anything 427 in my 1956 Chevy running 1105 I have had a hell of a lot of 5.3 absolutely fabulous motor but I think the 327 is got it beat I can't figure out for the life of me why 5.3 are 325 cubic inch why did they not push that into the 327
Thanks For the info . Sun roof was interesting. I thought you're gonna have major things . And it's a categorical quantifiable fact !!! The the 5.3L is the best engine General motors has ever Made. FACT . Good Vibes 🤙🏼P.S. Have had to pull a 5.3L stocker in a junkyard. To replace a blown engine in a Trophy Truck. To finish the BAJA 1000 !!! THAT'S BADASS. LIKE A ROCK ! 💎
6l80e is as reliable as the 4l60e. Good for about a year and a half of regular use. the 8 speed, forget it. Total trash! 6500 ballpark to fix 6 or 8 speed and gm has to reprogram ecm to accept new transmission or it wont work. Im over these trucks. Got a 14 sitting here needing a 6l80......
Thank you for the info!! I'm looking at a 2014 Sierra 1500 Z71 with a questionable Carfax, but only 64k miles. I saw this video when doing some research before going back to test drive it. Very helpful 👌🏻 I appreciate it!
The 5.3 cylinder deactivation system will cause the lifters to wear out unevenly I run my truck harder to avoid this common issue but if you want to deactivate this go online there is a obd2 plug that changes the engine ecu & disables the cylinder deactivation system that in the long run is worth it because a replacement engine is expensive vs a few cents a mile a engine replacement can cost 6k or more don't nickel & dime your truck you will regret it when you are stranded
@@dac232009 I've heard people say this over and over but I have yet to see any proof. I own a Silverado that had the cylinder deactivation. It has over 150,000 miles... no issues with what you described.
As long as these new 5.3's don't have the four oil solenoids for v4 in the Valley cover ill get a used 2018. Those did cause lifter failures in the 2007-2013 models i myself never had a problem. But I know two guys that needed new top ends from lifter failure.
Have you ran into any of the delphi coils going bad? My wife has a 15 suburban and I have replaced 2 in the last 8 thousand miles? I have been a looking for a 14 or 15 1500 and you mentioned the 5.3 is a great engine. I do agree with that all the way to the coils. lol
All the way to the coils 😂😂😂. I feel like the previous body style had more issues with the coils than the one I’m speaking about in this video. Not uncommon though! Good luck on the truck searching, what package are you looking for?
@@Cody_Reed an lt or lt2 with the max trailering package. I searched a long time to find a suburban with the max trailering package and very happy I found one. I have also been thinking about holding out for the new diesel.
Ok I got a 2017 gmc and the bulb is fine but it blinks fast . How do I fix it ? Any help please. But best motor made by GM was the 350 but even better with the 350 turbo or turbo 400
Man, I can tell you do actually work at the dealership. I bought a 2014 Sierra, the seat was replaced, and the condenser was as well. The condenser was the reason it was traded in, I got the truck with 64kmi for $23k. I feel like I got a good deal.
I would have traded it in as well. 64k miles and they are already replacing the A/C condenser AND the seat? 64k miles?! I'll pass. I just bought a 2010 Silverado 4.8 V8 with 129k miles for 12k from a dealership and I hope I don't regret it. God Bless!
Trans aren't junk. Take care of them, do proper maintenance. My 4l80e in my 04 was at 220,000 with 0 issues when I sold it. My current 2014 with the 6l80e is at 182,000, never had an issue.
Don’t buy a 2014 Silverado 6.2L Mine has been garage kept, serviced every 5k miles, never abused and occasionally pulls small trailers. I’ve had nothing but problems with the truck. Long story short, the truck has 71,000 miles and has had a history of electrical problems, the truck also has bad misfires. I’ve replaced all 8 fuel injectors, spark plugs, wires, coils, along with a few other things and performed an induction flush. The truck still sounds like hell while idling, check engine light stays on constantly and flashes on cold starts. Here lately the transmission has been acting funny on upshifts! I wish I would have never sold my 2005 Silverado, these new direct injection motors are junk.
Don't buy!!! AFM just went out on left head.. at 92 k miles - how long before it happens to the other head????4K $$$ later back on the road .. trading it in for a Dodge Cummings diesel..
GM should stand behind their Silverado's. With all the money 💰 that they charge for them they shouldn't have this many problems. GM need to better . They had a lot of years to fix these problems but haven't done anything
I just got a 2015 with the 5.3. 80,000miles. Everything works fine now but I'm thinking about getting the Range Disabler in an effort to avoid any lifter issues. I haven't seen or heard of one person who used the Disabler and had any valve lifter issues. Is this your experience as well?
No although the engine likes to tick and I had to replace the thermostat and censor for the radiator fan because it would sometimes stay on and shut off after like 5min
My 18.. Chevy shake.. Trans is HORRIBLE at 1500rpm.. had trans cooler lines replaced due to leaking at press joint to rubber hose. These trucks are horrible for thw shake from the transmission.
It's a garbage engine my 2015 silverado 5.3 Dealer Has replace Lifters And the brake vacuum pum And I have 45000 miles I wonder what's gonna happen when a have a 10000.
Yes 5.3 is a great motor. It’s the AFM garbage they put on it that ruined it. I had a collapsed lifter on mine also. That and all the problems with electronics and the Chevy shake issue I saw friends and coworkers experience with this new gen of trucks is why I’m now driving an F150.
Yeah and? Dodge has the famous “hemi tick” and Ford’s Coyote is having oil burning issues, “flutters,” and ticking also. They are all having these problems. You can thank emissions regulations for killing the reliability. AFM, MDF, cam phasers, all of it is useless junk. But Uncle Sam wants more efficient cars, so who pays for it? The customer.
If you stand back and take a really good look at that truck. You notice something incredibly odd. The wheel houses are square. And the tire is round. And that tells you all you need to know about the engineering of that truck. They spent all of their time attempting to put a round Peg, in a square hole.
AC Condenser. Knock on Cylinder Lifter due to AFM, Seatbelt unbuckling, leaky Sunroof (wtf please, it's a Truck...).. .... But, hey Awesome Fuel Mileage while everything is working or new. Imagine fixing this after the Warranty Expiration? 😞😞😞😞
I have a 14 Silverado love it except for the transmission I think it's between 2nd and 3rd gear has a little slip General Motors sent out paperwork stated that if you put it in reverse before you take off it gets rid of the air pockets in the transmission that's what's making it slip and it seems to be getting worse I don't want to take it up the GM and hear their b******* please any comments
5.3 sucks. Would be good if they got rid of fuel metering system. Change cam, lifters before 120k and engine will last. Also change out oil pressure sensor that the idiots put behind intake on rear of engine. Can’t even reach it. Had to take intake off just to replace oil pressure sensor on 2009 Sierra. Replace MAF sensor, both air bag sensors. I’ve been a die hard GM fan all my life. Not any more. GM start building reliable vehicles again and I will come back. Paying 50-60k for a half ton pickup is BS!
Hate to break it to ya man but they all make overpriced junk anymore. Everyone says Toyota is the way to go but my brother in law has had more issues with his than I have with my Ram. It's a crap shoot any way u go in my opinion.
Is that all? The Transmission has been known to go out before 120k! The fact that a 2014 lasted that long, is surprising. I would hate to see the history of that trucks mechanical issues and how many owners by this time.
Same problem here! Only with a 2014 6.2L 70k miles. I get a cylinder 3 misfire and a cold start rough idle code every time. Replaced plugs, wires, coils, performed an induction flush didn’t work. So I replaced all 8 fuel injectors and still the problem still didn’t go away!
I’ve got a 2017 Silverado 5.3 160,300 miles still going strong lumpy engine idle though and check engine light comes and goes for 219b air/fuel ratio imbalance bank 2.
K MYSTERIOUS it’s one of the codes the truck throws, P050D cold start rough idle, along with a misfire code. The truck does idle rough and shakes during cold starts
Not true, LS motors and these motors in this truck, LT (gen 5), are stronger than a 350. No one swaps an old 350 into a vehicle anymore when an LS or LT motor offer 10x what the 350 did.
Almost all seats are built the same way not just Chevy And the same for any sunroof He is right about the AC condenser In short Buy a extended warranty!!!!
Walter Batman I agree with you, but after being in this industry for so long I can honestly tell you that GM seats do wear differently than other brands.
Mine had engine falliure at 120000 km lifter colapse due to afm bad shitty design 2015 sierra and i know 3 more friends that had the same costy problem 5.3 is the best engine gm make exepts the shitty v4 mode v8's are made to run on 8 cylinder in my opinions very disapointed!!!
@@Dennis-sq2nm First one of heard of. They can't all be prefect. My sis has one, no issues and it is driven hard, pulling trailers in the Mountains sometimes.
Never touched on the wax dipped frame that peels and flakes and leaves bare metal to rust. Or the class action lawsuit on the 8 speed transmission and the common failure rate of the 6 speed. Never mentioned the lifter failure issues because of afm on these engines. Worst vehicle on the market.
2014 since new chronic misfire needing diagnostic and one new spark plug. Stutter in auto trans at different times. Shitty designed motor by GM with class action suits everywhere. Do not recommend any GM product.

@@ramaswamynarayanaswamy4806 Tundra. 09 and believe. Nothing major I was just pointing out that they all can give you problems.
Good engine but afm lifter failure on lots of these trucks
Not all of them.
In four years with a o6 I learned: what other vehicle has brake lines rust out and it's not a recent or single year fail!
Never buy any thing with 120,000 miles only 2 yearsold , Never
I got a 2014 gmc serria a.d so far its pretty good
How many miles and any major issues i plan on buying one soon???
What about the 2018 2500s
"And guaranteed your money back?! Or a Buick in the back door..."
Is that the only way GM gets sales going for Buick in the US? lol
How about the tik
I hope them flaws don’t Apply to a 2018 GMC Sierra 1500
They have their own set of problems haha
@@Cody_Reed And what are those problems
Tony Linardi I feel like this would be best in video format 😂
55k truck = 55 cent paint job 🤣
@@Cody_Reed still waiting for that video!
Condenser so frkin true
Just make a fking re call already chevy fk
Here’s a tip.. Save yourself the headache and stay away from GM. AFM in these trucks ultimately just ruins them in time.
Is that all? The Transmission has been known to go out before 120k! The fact that a 2014 lasted that long, is surprising. I would hate to see the history of that trucks mechanical issues and how many owners by this time.
I own a 2015 Chevy Silverado 5.3 only has 60,000 miles, rough engine idle, transmission hard shifts hard.
Same problem here! Only with a 2014 6.2L 70k miles. I get a cylinder 3 misfire and a cold start rough idle code every time. Replaced plugs, wires, coils, performed an induction flush didn’t work. So I replaced all 8 fuel injectors and still the problem still didn’t go away!
I’ve got a 2017 Silverado 5.3 160,300 miles still going strong lumpy engine idle though and check engine light comes and goes for 219b air/fuel ratio imbalance bank 2.
Hunter Dailey can you explain (rough engine idle ) ? I didn't get it
K MYSTERIOUS it’s one of the codes the truck throws, P050D cold start rough idle, along with a misfire code. The truck does idle rough and shakes during cold starts
Hunter Dailey oh I get it,I have no idea,i own sierra 15 single cab with 100k miles no problems
I would pass on any sun roofed vehicle. They simply cause more problems than they solve. They always have and likely always will.
The 5.3 is the best engine? Nah. The 350 sbc on a 4 barrel was the best motor gm ever made
Chandler Thoma yes and many more hahahaha
Chandler Thoma well that’s your opinion. 350sbc is the best General Motors ever made.
I had a 350ci, great engine. Had it rebuilt around 110K. Put 190K on the original Auto tranny, sold it, and it was still shifting smoothly.
Not true, LS motors and these motors in this truck, LT (gen 5), are stronger than a 350. No one swaps an old 350 into a vehicle anymore when an LS or LT motor offer 10x what the 350 did.
NvDubs250 well the old 350s where in many applications way before the ls motors ever came out
Almost all seats are built the same way not just Chevy
And the same for any sunroof
He is right about the AC condenser
In short
Buy a extended warranty!!!!
Walter Batman I agree with you, but after being in this industry for so long I can honestly tell you that GM seats do wear differently than other brands.
yea say something bad wen you are selling the truck not really honest review
No bay enimore silveradosheikyterminaitor no more
I bought a 2014 lt z71 130k miles for 21k 😬 its a blue dream
😂😂😂 fuck no
@@elamigoangel3065 lmaoo just saw ur comment I’m ready to sell it hahahah paid off at least
This is gonn be an hour long....
We like these videos short & sweet.
Mine had engine falliure at 120000 km lifter colapse due to afm bad shitty design 2015 sierra and i know 3 more friends that had the same costy problem 5.3 is the best engine gm make exepts the shitty v4 mode v8's are made to run on 8 cylinder in my opinions very disapointed!!!
Man Robert that stinks..
Not bad design. These engines need more careful oil changes.
Tell the real truth transmission ac condinser lifters drive shafts and I’ll let someone else do the rest!
AFM sucks and destroys these engines
I agree!
No. Not on all of them.
Get a Tundra no issues.
Yep
I've heard that although my brother in law has had more issues with his than i have with my Ram. Could just be coincidence tho
@@Dennis-sq2nm First one of heard of. They can't all be prefect. My sis has one, no issues and it is driven hard, pulling trailers in the Mountains sometimes.
Ac condenser three times in 5 years
@Greg B I tried OEM then went to after market both were shit
It’s a Chevy that’s your first problem.
Lol debatable
That's why I own a ford better then chevy
Dude the hair...
Everyone from Pennsylvania sounds the same...
Never touched on the wax dipped frame that peels and flakes and leaves bare metal to rust. Or the class action lawsuit on the 8 speed transmission and the common failure rate of the 6 speed. Never mentioned the lifter failure issues because of afm on these engines. Worst vehicle on the market.
Chris R man Chris dropping bombs today. Haha
@@Cody_Reed sorry Bud your cool but GM has not been good to me during ownership
I worked for them for a long time. I hear you man. That’s why I make videos like this one to spread the word
2014 since new chronic misfire needing diagnostic and one new spark plug. Stutter in auto trans at different times. Shitty designed motor by GM with class action suits everywhere. Do not recommend any GM product.
someone somewhere is responsible for this... :I
GM will not pay for the lawsuit.
