DEFECT LOG
4 findings, published
1 MODERATE
Everything the protocol found, including what we decided not to repair. Each finding says what it is and what we did about it — nothing here is hidden behind “sold as seen”.
| Severity | Finding | Action taken |
|---|---|---|
| MODERATE | AFM lifter tick on cold start, cylinder 6 | Disclosed, not repaired — priced in |
| MINOR | Driver seat bolster wear | Left as is |
| MINOR | Rear wheel arch stone chips | Touched in |
| NOTE | Transmission fluid dark at 96k | Serviced by us |
Model watch list
What this generation is known for.
Every model has faults that show up again and again in the workshop and in the manufacturer’s own bulletins. These are the ones documented for this exact year, engine and transmission — listed whether or not this particular car shows them.
- AFM lifter collapse on the 5.3 L L83 — misfire and camshaft damage
- 8L90 / 6L80 torque converter shudder and harsh shifts — GM TSBs
- Transmission thermal bypass valve failure — GM TSB 21-NA-199
- Direct-injection intake valve carbon build-up causing rough idle
Notes on the data
- GM’s LTZ fast-facts sheet lists the 8-speed as the LTZ transmission; a 6-speed build is rated 16/22/18 instead of 15/21/17.
- Towing and payload are the Max Trailering build; without that package payload is 1,730 lb.
- 0–60 mph is an exact-configuration test (2016 Z71 Crew Cab 4x4, 5.3 L, 8-speed).

INSPECTOR NOTES
- This is the honest-broker unit on the lot: the 5.3 AFM lifter issue is real, we measured it, and the price reflects a repair you may never need.
- If you want it corrected in our bay before delivery, we quote it at cost plus labour.
