Is there any way to identify where the engine and transmissions were built in a 2017 2500 CC 6.0. I know the truck was built in Flint from the vin.

 

Just curious.

Now you got my curiosity up. What difference does it make as to where the engine and transmission were made? Are there significant design and standard differences between engine plants?

I'm just curious, doubt it would make any difference. I have also looked at wikipedia and find the engines are built in Romulus and transmission in Toledo? Any way to confirm?

Maybe try to contact the plant to find out?

The 6.0 the past few years roll out near exclusively from Mexico. 6L90 is Toledo, Ohio or Mexico. Check your window sticker out it will show you country of origin for the power train right on it.

I don't know what plant it was manufactured in, but my 2015 3500HD 6.0 window sticker lists the country of origin as USA for the engine.

I updated my other post above with the plant origins for the engine.

My window sticker list final assembly as Flint, but nothing on the engine and transmission. I think there may have been a second sticker on some of the trucks on the lot, but I do not have anything beyond the window sticker and the build sheet from GM. I emailed socialmedia at GM and they were able to provide the build sheet but not the origin for the engine or transmission. I'd ask my dealer, but I know that would be a waste of time.

 

If you were to buy a classic car you would want to be sure its "numbers matching". They don't do that anymore?

I would like to know this info as well. With old Pontiacs, they would stamp the production number on the front of the engine. This is an easy way to check if the engine is original or not. I think all the American manufacturers did this. They probably still do at least for warranty information or to protect themselves from fraud.

Just checked a couple on the lot. Lower right side, should show COUNTRY OF ORIGIN for the engine and transmission.

I don't know why, but it is not on what I have of the sticker?

 

Bottom right has order no, sales model, dealer no and Final Assembly: Flint MI USA

 

There has to be a stamping on one of the heads or the block??

      The Peckish Synapse

      You can always count on greed to prey on ignorance and stupidity.    Friend bought a 2019 Ford Flex and asked me about using Valvoline R&P 5W30 in it. Told him give the miles on it and the fact it wasn't yet using oil that it was a good plan. He uses a Valvoline quick change shop for his oil service.   First they tell him that isn't the oil the OEM recommends. He told them he didn't care what the OEM thought. Then they floated the, "But it will void your warranty"    His reply was it's a 2019, there is no warranty and informed them their knowledge of the law was lacking.    Then they tell him 'But it will ruin your motor"!.    Mine to ruin he says. Finally they give in and charge him 150% the semi-syn price    Point it the brainwash is so embedded that even the service industry is drunk on their swill. The public is right behind them. Echoing the same lies on every forum and media platform. If the end goal is indeed EV then I'd say that ship is about built.

      2026 6.6 L5P oil cooler leaking oil at 4,000 miles

      By Brendan C · Posted

      New to diesel trucks. I happened to find my oil cooler leaking oil externally with only 4,000 miles on the truck. I didn’t realize this was an issue until I started researching it. Dealer is going to replace it under warranty but I’m wondering if there’s anything GM is working on to fix this issue. I’ve heard the oil filter used is the same as they use on their V6 motors and that’s what is causing the problems. Should I switch to a bigger filter or keep using the OEM recommended?

      Seems to be Missing a lot of Updates

      By Vu1can · Posted

      So, GMCustomerService:  Judging by the Update History pictured above, is this truck missing any updates that it actually needs. If it's just for the infotainment system, the radio is working fine and no trouble with SeriusXM. and Android Auto is working fine wirelessly with my phone. Some months ago, an update notice was sent to my truck. I approved the update and it finished saying that the update was successful, but it seems that whatever that update was, it didn't actually get installed - at least not if I'm to go by the Update History shown above.   So, again, are there any updates that this truck really should have? I've checked with my dealer but they're reluctant or commit to anything and if I want them to check, they require a $200.00 fee just to check it out and then I'd have to pay for the actual update(s).    Ignorance is bliss, and if none of the updates goes to fixing any mechanical discrepancies, I'll just leave things as is.
