Bought a used 2017 in 2020 with low miles. Fuel injectors replace due to known issue. At 97,000 truck is in the shop awaiting reman transmission for $6610.00! Long story short but something better!

Beware of Auto Fuel Management Lifter Failures

Just had 2017 GMC Sierra 1500 w/5.3L engine fail lifters and cam shaft due to the AFM system. Apparently shutting the 8 cyl down to 4 for fuel economy can save you on gas but you will get stuck with a $10K engine repair bill to offset any improvement in fuel economy. This is not a 2017 issue but a generic GM issue across all models that use the AFM system. Several lawsuits against GM on this and GM still denies responsibility for repair costs.

Can be purchased for $55k , Engine at idle when hot should be smooth no missing or rough. Transmission should shift smoothly and ride should be comparable to a large SUV .

I've had this truck for a year now ,and the only thing i don't like is in the winter the snow melts on the hood and runs down in front of the headlights and freezes,everything else has been excellent. now if i can only keep it from rusting underneath with the salt and calcium they use on the roads up here in Maine,also it's a great looking truck. I can't imagine what this other review guy has maybe a salvage title or something. or he actually owns a ford you no how they ARE!

Lost of little problems and i'm sick to my stomach. I had the Chevy shake -- which was fixed with rebalancing the tires (they were off from the factory). Cruise control failed, then came back on its own. I totally lost the entertainment system at 36k miles. That cost me 1k to fix. Who knows what else will go wrong. I'll get a Ford next. They have a totally different reputation than these POS's.
