It's a random multiple cylinder misfire. So it could be a whole slew of things, such as coil packs, spark plugs, ecu, O2 sensors, bad fuel pressure regulartor, timing off, valves not seating all the way, vaccuum leak etc.

Yeah they have tried most of them seems the problem is with cylnder #7 always getting most misfires even when they swapped coil and plug ..could it be something major this truck has been babied and only has 14500 miles

I would get an injector noid light to see if it's getting a consistant signal and an ignition spark through tool. Check if it's getting a consistant spark and fuel. Use a vaccuum gauge to see if you have a leak some where. If you have access to a Genisis scan tool, you could look at the voltages through the system.

I replaced intake this week to solve a cold start / misfire. I was not showing any codes. The problem only showed up in tempsless than30 degrees. With as many shops and mechanics and GM reps looking I will not make suggestions on the fix. I will however encourage you to make it the dealer's problem. I have found hanging around the show room and talking to potential buyers about the problems you're having getting your truck fixed will result in the entire dealership, most esspecially the sales people, doing what's needed to make the problem go away, i.e. make you go away. Being in the way of sales, politely, should at the very least get you a very good price on a replacement. Burn it, no. Make the dealer burn for you.
