A little late to this. I am going to order a 2027 as soon as the order banks open. It'll be a 3.0l again. This time in a Yukon.

Yes.....to overreacting

I'm good with the auto climate control in both the 2023 and the 2025. Both keep me comfortable at 73°year around. My wife keeps the passenger side at 72°. We rarely adjust the temps.

My 3.0l engine failed at 5,403 miles. It just stopped running while accelerating away from a roundabout. No warning, no dash lights. Just quit and I coasted to a stop. I had steering. A message popped up on the screen that read "please restart engine" or something like that. It wouldn't and it was towed to the dealership. They determined it siezed. GM didn't pay for them to tear it down, just immediately approved a new engine. I doubt I'll ever find out what failed. It took 50 days to get the truck back. I have 300 miles on the truck since and it's running just fine. Fingers crossed it was a fluke.

So, I traded my 2023 6.2l before the recall came out for an identical truck except for the engine. The new one has a 3.0l. The 6.2l was trouble free but there was enough issues popping up we decided to swap it out a year early. Fast forward. My 3.0l engine siezed 3 weeks ago and it sits in the dealer service lot waiting for a replacement engine. Just my luck. But, even if it went into a lemon law buyback, I'd get another 3.0l. I don't plan on dumping this one once fixed.

My loaner had that happen (no sound from anything) last week. "Fixed" itself an hour after shutting it off and then restarting. A 2026 Sierra 1500. Hasn't happened since.

So my 3.0l lasted exactly 5,403 miles. Engine siezed. Waiting for a replacement. No warning. Just a "ding" from the dash with "please restart engine" or something like that.

When I lived in Florida most seemed to just use plain water. Up north just need something that doesn't freeze.

Pretty sure he's not going to carry a spare.

Probably not enough. Just a guess.

I have never paid attention to "top tier". I buy gas and diesel from busy stations around me and I've never had fuel issues.

Nice Photoshop

I received a competitive trade value for my 2023 when I got my 2025 a few months ago.

At this point I wouldn't be concerned with a 2026 6.2l. But, right now I'm really happy with this 3.0l Duramax. I ran across the state (Michigan) yesterday to check out a street rod and both ways the current trip showed 30+ mpg. Diesel is less than premium and better mpg. Yeah, the 6.2l sounds better, though.

I had Nitto's on my Jeep and experienced the same thing. Quiet but wore fast. I will look at Michelin Defenders in 305r45/22 when I dump my stockers.
