I have a 2000 GMC Sierra 1500 4.3L and when starting it backfires through the intake. Not every time but its always difficult and sometimes incredibly rough to start. It still starts but i have to hold the accelerator pedal down and usually takes a few tries. Once its running, it runs perfectly fine. Confused.

  Well I am officially joining the club…. Our 2022 Silverado 1500 6.2L with 87k miles just blew her engine.. Similar story to others- driving on highway and everything goes dead and lights flash and you have to scramble to get to side of road…. We were in rural part of WY but luckily had enough cell service to get AAA out to tow us to closest dealer who confirmed blown engine and ordered new one from GM.. They are saying around 3 weeks to get new engine. Overall after reading for months about the potential for issues with the 6.2L motors (I did the recall and it passed a couple months ago), Im pretty pragmatic about all this. However I do have a question and need some feedback from others: My dealer has no loaners - so for those whose dealers had no loaners, have any of you gone to GM and had them reimburse a rental until the truck is fixed?? Thanks!

  So he wants to take a 20% cut of the value of all the oil and whatever products pass through the strait? That would bump up the price of oil noticeably...

  I mean either way works. My transmission temps stay in the 130-150's just cruising around in the summer, pushes into the 160-180's if I tow but they settle lower on longer drives.

  Thanks again man. I haven't had an issue since the local shop torqued everything down but it's def on my radar. I made an assumption that torque angle = torque angle yield and with the info from gm parts direct went down a rabbit hole. Really appreciate it.
