My finale comments on this as I no longer have a dog in this fight, Sold my 2021 LTZ Z71 6.2 this year with 17K miles after finding the glorious glitter in the oil. Yes I lost my a$$ on it.
@ 70 I thought this would be the last truck I would buy and the first show room new. I was a die hard GM fan owning many Silverodo's and GMC's over the last 50 years. Gone are the days of driving a GM truck 250K-350K miles with proper maintenance. Will I ever buy another new GM truck...Only if early 2000's or back.
I do want to thank everyone here for there support and help. Great forum. Not leaving the forum just dropping back to the older truck section. Good Luck to everyone with there issues.
They way I see it if it passes how long before it does fail... I sold my 21, did not want to worry when and were I would be when it did fail as I used it for long distance trips pulling a car trailer to shows. Worst part was the loss in value!
So its time to replace my headlight and turn signal assembles. 2000 GMC
Looking for advice, don't want the cheap Amazon stuff,\. Was looking into Rock auto and found two that reviews are good TYC & Dorman. Any advice as to quality or other brands accepted.
Have sanding and re-cleared the originals about 5 years ago.

I went to both Carmax was in person offered $35K for my 21 Z71-LTZ 6.2 10 speed 17K miles every option. list price was $66K. Carvana offered $37K.......
So went to my GM dealer today to sell my 6.2 and buy a 2500, This was the response I got!!
Dealer: So the VIN# tells alot...I can't buy your truck anyway. There is an open recall with no remedy and has been put on the stop sale list...Manufacturer dealers cannot sell them. It would sit on the lot until there is a remedy and there is no expected date of remedy.
Me: So all it needs to to have the test done and it gets a 10year 150k warranty. You as a dealer should know this and can have it done. I as a GM customer have to wait in line. I have addressed this with GM many times.
Dealer: I understand what you are saying. I am simply passing on what my GM is saying...we have several already parked on the back line with this issue waiting for the remedy on the stop sale. He informed me that until it is lifted or corrected we cannot purchase it.
Issue never changed same with old and new battery. One other thing I noticed was my volt gauge for the last 4 years was always at 14v, The last few months after starting it is a 14v then drops down to 13.8..13.5v. Even at night running lights...
