That has the junk AFM engine too! You have to go 06 or older to get a good 5.3. I had an 08 and had a lifter collapse twice then disabled the DOD and no issues for another 100k miles
Have a the 5.3 l engine with the 4 cyl. deactivation. Heard many problems with the more modern Deactivation ( and the trans). People told me, to turn off the deactivation. I also, change oil more often than leave it get to 10000 km. I also, try to use, high octane fuel as it is not port injection. 120 000 km, so far, it runs good. But I heard, early 2020 years had problems so not in a rush to buy another.
@@NotABot88 Oh, did not know the 8 speed was not in the 21, 22, 5.3.. Still, the lifters are there and the springs are still there even though they are not activated mon.
Imagine paying 800 plus payments and also deal with issues. I like trucks but now I rather keep driving my sport car manual transmission and no cilinder activation bs with no issue.
I wasn't aware of these problems before I just purchased my 2024 Sierra.... I have taken out an 8 yr extended warranty... By that time I will be ready to get another vehicle.
...as the content creator takes brand new truck out and floors it to see how quickly it can accelerate. Which if course is one of the "do nots..." when breaking in the truck.
@@chrisdrives8204 like the electrical issues water leaking issues the active fuel management in the later years is completely reliable I have no idea what you're talking about with the panel Gap issues
@@chrisdrives8204 well it's opposite of what I see and what I have observed working on Chevy trucks I can agree with the Transmissions and the dod in the early years that's about it
This is why i went to previous gen tundra. There are no new reliable trucks avaliable
Had a 2021 Silverado complete garbage traded it for a 2016 tundra 5.7 love it
Well put and truth
I did the same, bought a 2021 tundra 5.7 platinum and added transmission cooler
If you get this truck first thing is to get a programmer to stop the cylinder shut down
Or buy a 22'
@@NotABot88 '22's have it as well.
@BR549_o7 Maybe some of them. When I got mine, I got a refund because of the chip shortage.
That’s why I’m grateful for my 2010 GMC Sierra 5.3.

Don't blame you 😂

Get a 22. They don't have dod/afm
@@NotABot88 Yeah, but mon, the springs and lifter equipment is still there!!! And, a recall, on GM Trans... 480000 or so, on 2022 and 21 mon.
@@Dagwoold The trans im assuming you're talking about is the 8 speed. They don't have those in the 5.3s

All these new trucks carry a far higher risk. Even the new toyotas

@@dw6627 good peace of mind
curious what you drive.
16 firing patterns what could go wrong
Just wait for the front facing camera to lock up the rear emergency brake. That's a hoot.
2022 trail boss has been in shop for months.
No end in sight.
2019 model year and earlier is the only option from here on out.
Sources?
Just about every forum and mechanic will tell you 😂
Get outta here with your SOuRcEs question 😂
Uhhh I wouldn't know I havnt bought one, they are way too high priced I've kept my squarebody.👍🇺🇲😀
Don't blame you 😀
As soon as my warranty is up, I will replace lifters and cam with non EPA approved components.
All us Ford owners wouldn't know, we would never settle for second place 😂
Yeah, how’s that 10 speed working out for you😂
If this was a ford problem video it would be like 90 minutes long. 😂
@@johnlittle6711 Hahaha cut that out
fords have it too....the 5.0 has the same issue
Unless you drive a diesel equipped with the CP4 fuel pump, which at some point will grenade itself.
That’s right ford f150 places 7th out of 17trucks. Or on reliability and quality it placed 78/100. So i guess you settle for 7th place😂

😂 this one is broken in
Industry seems to be building trucks to self destruct.
Chris drives… is this the same
Guy that does the investing channel?
You got it 😀
This is a handful of issues with a handful of trucks. Every vehicle has issues. I will say, dont get the 8 speed
Let em rot!
Still better than a ford pos. Turbo failure after 26k😅
But I will still bye one
Don’t we all know this?
Know what?

@@chrisdrives8204had a buddy with a high country 2018 with a 5.3 and had some lifters go out at 65k didn’t have low oil either
Trade for a Toyota... problem solved 😊
The tundra with the mess of an engine recall or?
Wtf Toyota has recalled every tundra because of the motor's going catastrophic.
The new generation Tundra is a ticking time bomb.
2021 or older only…. New turbo has all kinds of problems
