Yes i would like to buy a Silverado Silverado please. Then I'm gonna go get the papers, get the papers..... Did GM hire Jimmy Two Times or something to help rename their line????

Hopefully it sounds like they have, if they move this production back in house for the new v-8's. Still though to allow this to go on for over a half decade is shameful imo.

Where the truck was built doesn't matter, all the crank shafts were machined and created by a Mexican based company. The factory just takes the part off the shelf and installs it, the problem lies with the supplier and GM using cheap labor. As i said this is why the next gen v-8's, these parts are coming back to being made here in house, so they can make sure the quality is there. Still that does no one any good with a 2020-current truck using these botched parts. Only decent engine option right now is the 5.3 imo, no way in hell would i ever buy a truck with a 2.nothing 20+lb boosted 4 cylinder and the diesel has it's own share of major issue right now, these new v-8's literally cant come quick enough imo....

I have yet to experience any motor oil shortages, i actually just bought a 5 quart jug at Walmart full syn for under 20 bucks. I'm no keeper of prices and it is the budget Walmart brand, but under 20 bucks for 5 quarts seems as cheap as ever too me. I remember when i changed my own oil with Dino oil it was around the same price for 5 quarts like 3 bucks and that was for regular conventual oil like 20+ years ago. But the shelves were all stocked so no brands were missing and i think mobile 1 was around 28-30 for the 5 quart jug, not really that expensive imo at like 6 bucks per quart.

I think anyone who sees 200k in any modern day truck today is doing good.

Is this a bottom end issue, if so oil weight is not the reason or cause, i have been running 0-20 weight in my 6.2 since November of 2014 and I'm just about at 100,000 miles. Gm just released a statement yesterday stating they are bringing certain machining back in house for their next gen v-8's. I have been screaming from the rooftops on this issue since easily 2021! These lower end issues all stems from using slave wage labor in Mexico. If you were building a 60-80,000 dollar truck, would you have a guy who makes around 3-5 bucks an hour create the crank shaft for it and finish the surfaces on it? I bet 100 out of 100 people would say hell f'ing no and rightfully so! Gm tried to save penny's and in the end it is costing them millions, not to mention customers who will never look at a single GM product again after this experience!

Just make sure you know who is doing the work, and if they have done it before, and have a trail of happy customers. I cant stress enough how many hack mechanics there are out there clai9kming they can rebuild an engine, make sure you do your due diligence making sure the guy knows what he is doing and has the references to prove it!

Wow it is post like this that make me want to move into something newer with a warranty, i really don't know what i would do in this situation! I just got a quote for replacing 2 rear shocks for almost 700 dollars with 2 Bilstein shocks. So nearly 20k for an engine replacement doesn't sound so far fetched these days. I think many of us just forget like how our grocery food has doubled in price the last 6 years, so hasn't repairing a vehicle. It is getting to a point though were i would rather spend the 8k or so a year in monthly payments on something new then spending 20 grand on something old, facts are that 18k is not far from what a 2019 LT Silvy is worth, in working condition of course! The other issues is if you have the dealer do it, the same parts that failed because of the engine fuel management crap, will have the potential to happen again. Trade-in Value: $21,100 Private Party Sale: $24,000 – $26,000 Retail/Dealership Price: $27,000 – $29,200

Already videos on Youtube of 2026 model Escalades blowing engines. This problem wont end until they bring the lower end part making back from Mexico and their slave labor paying businesses! I mean real F'ing shocker that people who make about 3-5 dollars and hour, turn out crankshafts that look exactly like a guy who is paid 3-5 dollars an hour made it!

It's a rolling computer with wheels, welcome to modern day vehicles. Looks to me like the loaded up a different file then what was on it. Who knows if that contains the fix or if this is just a glitch, even my 14 has had at times random loss of screen and or sound. Most times restarting the car or truck will fix said issue though.

Nope Mary and the bean counters say only your choice of Black, White, Silver, Dark Grey, Fire Engine Red and insert Blue or Brown option for the year here colors! Been the same for over a decade now, only color i liked Cajun/Radient Red Tincoat is of course now only available on the 70k and up top trim level trucks! One of the saddest ass paint selection choices by any manufacture on planet earth imo!

It's a literal shame many of these colors just cant be ordered out right. So many are better then what is actually offered today, the paint color selection is piss poor at best these days with GM trucks. Unripened Green Metallic Dark Torador Red

Yeah i didn't want any part of B&S motor which is what led me on a wild goose chase to find a working Honda. Every available mower today uses that god forsaken engine too! I was lucky to get a used HRX pretty cheap that has blade stop which is a very nice feature, but the new commercial one is going to be my strictly mulcher mower. Thinking about how i only use around 3 gallons of fuel for the entire season for cutting grass, why does anyone want to get battery powered mowers that would require constant recharging. Two 12mAh battery's needing to be charged 5-6 times per month is going to cost a hell of a lot more then 15 dollars worth of non ethanol fuel!

I still much prefer my Stihl leaf blower to any battery operated one. Those things tear through battery's and the last thing i need during leaf season is working for 30-45 minutes then having to charge the battery up. Filling a tank with 2 stroke fuel and going for as long as i need is once again something electrics are not advanced enough to replace right now imo. Electric mowers though are just not even worth discussing right now, performance and battery time are just issues they have not figured out yet with mowers. That and making everything out of plastic, most of these mowers all have plastic transmission housings that just will never in a million years hold up.

The New Honda battery mowers cost 1,300 dollars! It comes with the lesser charger that takes 5-6 hours to charge the battery and only 1 battery, a second one which pretty much everyone would need unless your yard is like 40 sq ft, it will cost you another 600 dollars making it now a 1,900 dollar mower. If you want the better charger to charger said battery in 2 hours, you will need another 150 bucks putting it over 2 grand now and more expensive then every single commercial 21" on the market. Watching Youtube clips of the battery mowers in action, in actual real conditions, they didn't do all that well. Battery's are good for most small engine items except leaf blowers, but they are far far away from making a viable mower imo. Heck every single dealer i had called or visited, refuse to carry the new electric Hondas.
