Well, I just purchased yesterday. I just found this forum today. And let me just say, after reading a few posts, I think I should have found this forum first before I bought. You guys have me scared to death. I was in the market for a new truck and was looking at the Toyota Tundra. But after hearing all the problems they were having with engine failures and recalls, I decided to look elsewhere. I found a 2024 Silverado High Country for $62k and thought that was a good deal. I couldn't get a similarly equipped Ford for under $70k. So I spent most of the day in the dealer yesterday and worked out a deal for the truck. I was pretty happy with it all the way home and most of today. But now I come here and see that the 6.2 liter engines are having a bunch of failures. And of course the one I bought has the 6.2 engine in it. So what should I be on the lookout for? I have seen a few posts about lifters and them ticking, but I have no idea what this means. Also, I am seeing suggestions of making sure the oil is changed on a regular basis. Is there anything else I need to be aware of? Should I try to return this vehicle to the dealer? I'm at about 150 miles right now, I won't be driving it that much as my job is sending me a brand new truck next week. ( That's a silverado too, lol.) But I still don't want to be stuck with a lemon. I definitely don't want to be far from home and have some catastrophic engine failure. I'm feeling a little bummed now after finding these forums. Any help or suggestions are greatly appreciated. TIA.
