Holty Posted January 23, 2012 Report Share Posted January 23, 2012 I picked this up the Monday after Christmas. Only mods so far are window tint and a Compustar alarm/remote start (Compustar RF-P2W901-SS). Soon will have a Pioneer double-din dvd nav system and K&N CAI, and of course a tune. Other than that leaving it stock. Probably will get a bed cover at some point down the road. It was on the lot for $26k, it has 59k miles on it. I got it for $22k out the door, including tax, title, etc. So far, i'm REALLY happy with it. I'm reading a lot of people are complaining about the AFM but damn i'm really digging it lol. any comments welcome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_aSSet Posted January 23, 2012 Report Share Posted January 23, 2012 Clean truck, I wish I had even a cheap dd Btw the afm can mess up (lifters collapsing causing misfire(s)) and cause a big bill to get fixed. just happened to my Dad's truck but at 150k Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MARTYW Posted January 23, 2012 Report Share Posted January 23, 2012 Nice truck! I like the GMC. Stick you a Denali grill in that bad boy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_aSSet Posted January 23, 2012 Report Share Posted January 23, 2012 Cause there are 4 lifters that are hydraulic and are controlled by the VOLM, the plastic board under the intake manifold that controls the hydraulics. They eventually get weak and may collapse causing the misfire, and those lifters are expensive and apparently you have to remove the head and have them worked at a machine shop. GM knows about this problem and have a bulletin out about it, I'll see if I can find it when i'm at a computer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
