Not that I've read, after all the issues they've had in the past I'm pretty sure they learned their lesson.

The 2027 orders will be starting up soon, I'm surprised at how quiet these new engine discussions have become. Maybe it's because the HDs will still have the older 6.6 gasser until 2029 model year. When 2027 GMC Sierra HD Production Is Scheduled To Start

This is the 6.6 gasser section of the forum, you should either delete or modify your previous post as it is misleading for anyone looking for factual information on their 6.6 gas engine.

Agree, they make good parts. Ford trucks use to run Roadmaster sway bars almost exclusively, while us GM guys ran Helwig sway bars.

Good to hear!

What was your reason/need to add this?

I have never had to add oil to any of my trucks between oil changes since I bought my first new truck in 1988. I purchased each truck new, did my own break-ins, and did every oil change myself. Every truck had a slightly different engine (1988 350ci, 1997 5.7, 2001 5.3, 2012 6.0) but each ran flawlessly without using enough oil to bother adding.

Wow, what a swing on the dipstick between hot and completely cold!

There may be more truth than you know in that statement. I've purchased nothing but Chev/GMC trucks my entire life and never thought I'd even consider another brand seriously. Right now, If I was going to replace my truck, it would be a Ford Super Duty with the 7.3 Godzilla. This has been my receiver cap since 1988, todays GM trucks may change that.

All new GM engines and parts normally come with a 3 yr 36,000-mile warranty, that's part of what we are paying for.

HD truck engines and transmissions, although similar, are quite different so make sure you're looking at the correct information. The internet doesn't always provide the most accurate information as much is AI created and full of mistakes currently.

I discovered this years ago. We all assume that the dealer is more expensive, but that is not always the case. I've been buying genuine GM (Delco) windshield wipers, because they last much longer, from the dealer for less $$ than cheap aftermarket ones at Walmart or parts stores. Same with air and oil filters, quality Delco Gold AGM batteries, and actually ordering tires from the dealer because they will price match on-line prices from places like Tire Rack. Be aware, dealers also sell off brand parts that are less than genuine GM, avoid those if you can. Also, dealers all have different price marks so shop around at various GM dealers and you'll see big price differences on the exact same parts.

The joys of keeping a great old(er) truck!

That is a fact! Different vehicles, different climates, heck even different types of dirt, asphalt, and concrete roadways.

Everywhere I go all I see is that a huge percentage of them use oil like its gasoline. Adding a quart of oil every 1,000 miles is not acceptable for a quality engine.
