Almost 85000 miles here on 14 5.3. Had an oil pan leak a couple times and a rear end seal leak but other than that runs and drives great with no issues.

Great Thanks! I am just looking for real unadulterated responses from owners of the these ecotec engines.......Many bought this truck because of the N/A non-turbo V8 the v-6 turbo Ferd thing....GM publicly admitted that these engines will minimize and keep costs low to consumer.....NO PR was ever stated doing that for FERD customers? Please just answer the question if you like if not keep your comments to yourself.

 

Most of us have owned more vehicles than you have owned pairs of shoes? OK

They all make a bad one now and then. You will hear about the bad ones more. That's a FACT.

Yup, I agree! There is much talk on here about shaking and plastic dipping some part etc. I would like to see what and how these engines are holding up compared to previous generations.........

My 5.3 is up to 221,000 miles. Nothing but spark plugs, tires, and fluids till 210,000. Then had to do a sway bar link. At 218,000 I had an exaust valve burn out so I replaced one head and all the valves and lifters on the drive side. Cost me $1,100 parts and labour. Used head with 50k on it had it checked at a machine shop first. I always run full synthetic oils. My mechanic said the cylinder walls were spotless and the Pistons still had the factory machine hatchings on them. Said if he didn't see the odometer himself he'd have guessed maybe 50-60k miles were on it. So I would ABSOLUTELY say this has been a reliable choice and I plan on hitting 300,000 plus with it. My mechanic has a 2007 Denali with the 6.2 that had 347,000 miles with no major repairs that is his daily driver.

My 15 just hit 70k this morning only regular oil changes, battery replaced at 42k (dealer said it just went bad) been tuned since 15k (no AFM) cabin air filter replaced twice nothing major so far had doubts at fist with the trans but that’s part of why I tuned it to be in 8 always and tires and other bolt ons. Oh and it’s the 6.2. Started running ethanol free fuel 1 week ago runs smoother.

93000 been using a range device since 68k no catch can . replaced vacuum pump , engine runs great but the tranny is starting to do some weird things

No Catch Can? 

But I thought we all had to run them to keep our engines from gumming up with carbon????  :D

The Catch Can fans will probably be silent on this one.

2014 GMC Sierra Denali 6.2L 4x4, 90,700 miles. Many issues, but none at all with the drivetrain. That, thankfully, has been solid. Hope I didn’t just jinx myself....

      Tire psi

      By jgaudet99 · Posted

      I had a little bit of time before I left for work this morning, so I plugged the scanner back in, and I selected Chevrolet Silverado instead of GMC Sierra, and the very first option was for a 2026 so I selected that one and I seen at the bottom it had the option for psi change unlike in the 2026 GMC Sierra, I selected that option and it took a little longer than the usual vehicle not supported, and sure enough I got into it, and it let my change the psi values.. I no longer have the low psi warning light!   Thank you for recommending me to try it under Chevrolet instead! I can confirm this device does work for a 2026 GMC Sierra 2500 hd 6.6 diesel  just have to select Chevrolet Silverado instead of GMC Sierra.   Maybe I'll contact Autel and let them know of that issue and maybe they will fix it for the GMC option  because some people probably return the scanner due to it not working under GMC Sierra.

      2010 Avalanche 5.3 not running correctly after engine swap.

      By contrabombarde · Posted

      I just did a little bit more research, and it seems that this Avalanche is not a Global-A vehicle, because the charts seem to list several models that were Global-A starting in 2010, but the Avalanche is not on there. And even similar models such as the Silverado are not on the Global -A platform until later in 2013. Please correct me if I'm wrong.

      Yes, the 2007 is a GMT 900. Originally I had ruled out computers/compatibility as a problem because I did not change over any computers, only the engine. I know that the motors are different codes, but it seems like the lmg to lc9 is a fairly common swap, at least from what I can read online. I'm using all the wiring and sensors from the 2010 vehicle, as well as the computers (the only exception to that being the MAP sensor).

      GM Hard Folding Tonneau by REV review

      Real Truck handles the warranty via GM.  We don't submit a warranty claim with GM, we have to submit it with Real Truck with a specific email/phone number.  Real Truck determines if the issue is covered or not based on the issue and pictures submitted.

      Some clarification may help with some of these issues.   - Rev Industries is/was the division of BAK (now Realtruck) that makes covers under the OEM names.  So if you see one with a Ford logo on it, or if you are buying the GM Accessories cover, you are essentially buying a BAK G2 cover with different branding.   - Rev Industries now markets under RealTruck "Advantage."   - As of May 1, 2025, the Advantage covers now have a 5 year warranty.  Anything before that was a 36/36K warranty.   - Parts for the covers are available from Realtruck or BAK.  The email address to reach them is [email protected] or you can call them at 818-365-9000   - If the entire cover has to be replaced, you have to go through your local GM dealer.  Service dept opens an RO, notes the damage and submits it as a warranty claim.  Keep your paperwork handy so they can confirm when you purchased it and it's within the warranty timeframe.  Once the warranty claim is approved, Parts orders the replacement cover.  When it arrives at the dealership, service will remove and install the new one for free as labor is included under warranty.   - The Advantage covers are not the latest and greatest Gen 3 covers.  They still use the old school clamps, elevator bolts, etc...If you want the newer technology, consider buying your cover in the aftermarket world.  That way, if you have an issue you can deal directly with the manufacturer.   - Finally, RealTruck has a program with many of their authorized dealers that doubles the warranty to 10 years if the authorized dealer does the install.     Hope this helps.
