Man, that really sucked just because it was used? I bought my '22 new, but the next one I am considering to purchase will be a used 2025 Silverado LT Trail Boss with less than 5000 miles. It goes to show you how every state has different laws/policies when it comes to Lemon Laws and GM buybacks. I even went as far as inquiring with GM whether they would extend the Bumper to Bumper and Valve train warranties on my '22 Custom Trail Boss and they said because of the state I reside, they could not offer this to me!! What the hell, right!?

If nobody has seen this video clip from The Motor Oil Geek, here is a good one about oil viscosity.

I have a 2022 Silverado Trail Boss which I just got back after 68 days out of service due to a failed valve body. I currently have a Lemon Law case filed and if I win the buyback from GM, I will need to make a decision. I will either trust GM replaced the faulty valve body with a "newly designed" one that will not fail in the future and keep my TB or accept the buyback and look to purchase a 2024 or newer Silverado LT Trail Boss under warranty. It is just that I love the feel of the V8 and the fact I have done so much aftermarket work on my TB and to accept the buyback will just throw all that hard work and value away. Difficult decision. It has the 5.3. And in the state I reside, apparently it can be a used vehicle, at least this is what both the GM mediator and Arbitration Board member mentioned to me. The vehicles I am considering are low mileage (under 10,000 miles) so might as well be brand new. I was told GM is considering reimbursing me for at least some of the aftermarket costs. I do realize I will not get 100% of the purchase price. My Arbitration Board member mediator told me I should get back approximately 90% of the purchase price as well as taxes, finance fees, registration and title fees.
