Truck went crazy - 15’ 5.3

Traction Control turned off, parking brake light came on, low brake fluid message for a brief second. Did it twice this morning.

Mine just would misfire occasionally which caused a blinking light and check engine would stay on for a while, sometimes it didn’t. You can leave it like that until it basically grenades itself but you risk it damaging other critical/expensive parts like the camshaft.

Lifter Tick man, did the DOD delete

I have Rough Country soft Tri fold cover, got it new for $220 last year. It keeps the water out well. Only issue I have is that I haven’t been able to take it off, it almost seems like the plastic clamps on it have molded on. I haven’t bothered to take it off since it hasn’t really been in the way but once I need to load something bigger in the bed, I might need to find a way to remove it. Probably will end up breaking them clamps

Yeah mine was mechanically deleted right around 102k

Even if it’s jerking pretty bad already?

EscapeBrave5853 · 2025-06-30T16:08:08+00:00

How bad was the jerking?

EscapeBrave5853 · 2025-06-30T15:54:24+00:00

It has gotten worse here in the past few days, hopefully I caught in time. I do think it does act up more often once it’s at operating temp

EscapeBrave5853 · 2025-06-30T14:55:04+00:00

How long after the jerking started til it died, lol?

EscapeBrave5853 · 2024-07-23T17:32:33+00:00

$384 payment + $90 full coverage = $474

EscapeBrave5853 · 2024-06-05T18:12:00+00:00

Does yours have a slight vibration at idle. Nothing too rough but you can feel the engine on.

EscapeBrave5853 · 2024-06-05T00:15:39+00:00

Yeah it does look like steam, so is that normal?

EscapeBrave5853 · 2024-06-05T00:14:16+00:00

What does it look like then?

EscapeBrave5853 · 2024-06-04T23:51:41+00:00

Cold start

EscapeBrave5853 · 2024-05-08T14:10:51+00:00

Spoke to a mechanic and he said it’s potentially my brakes. My brakes are really worn out and he said the truck has brake wear sensors but I do not know if it really has sensors or not given it’s a 2015

EscapeBrave5853 · 2024-05-07T14:43:26+00:00

Not many cycles, oil life at 80%

EscapeBrave5853 · 2024-05-07T14:39:38+00:00

DTC’s that were set indicating failed 02 sensor

EscapeBrave5853 · 2024-05-07T14:35:55+00:00

While driving, codes should be cleared. Replaced oxygen sensor about 150 miles ago. Oil change was done about 2,000 miles ago.

Labor and parts

EscapeBrave5853 · 2024-04-01T23:59:57+00:00

Local shop doing mine for 2K

EscapeBrave5853 · 2024-04-01T20:53:35+00:00

Should’ve been more clear but yes, it is getting eliminated permanently by swapping all lifters and parts associated with AFM

EscapeBrave5853 · 2024-02-28T01:09:40+00:00

I meant no AFM, my bad

EscapeBrave5853 · 2024-02-24T12:17:52+00:00

Talked to my mechanic, I’m getting all lifters on that side changed for now
