Might want to change your signature, it isn't a twin turbo but rather a single turbo 2.7L motor.

Oops! I had Ecoboost on the brain I guess. Thanks!

Well. Gals and Gents this topic was started for people who want to like or appreciate a new innovation. It will be a lot more fun to keep the negatives for another forum topic.   Yes it's a new engi

Absolutely loving my 2.7 so far. Power is more than adequate and the economy is pretty darn good when you try to squeeze all you can out of a gallon. Took a little road trip to visit a cousin the other day, 30 mile one way, speed limit never more than 45mph, flat land and plenty traffic lights. Averaged a tad over 29 mpg according to the dic for a 25 mile stretch, And Averaged 20.5 on my last tank all suburban driving.

:wtf: I keep seeing this Bilstein koolaid. I have made the switch (after my stockers wore out nearly 70k later and miles of back country driving), the difference is slight and I can only imagine that much less so when only doing one end. I bet 9 out of 10 people if given the chance to ride back to back with only a rear shock change on stockers that are low miles at that would not be able to tell a difference. Even replacing all four when worn out the difference wasn't huge...

I find this hard to believe. I swapped just my rear at around 5,000 miles and the difference is definitely noticeable. My bed is almost always close to empty and that thing hopped around like mad. Now it doesn’t.

New 2022 2.7ho will have 420 lbft of torque,  72lbft bump! 

I seriously thought this was a joke. Can't believe how much they've improved this engine and I'm super jealous. However, my 2021 2.7L is good enough for my needs (especially given how hard it is to find a new truck). I hit the 5k mark and did my first oil change. 2.7L feels even smoother / slightly more powerful. Nice to see this type of innovation from GM. Will put pressure on all other manufacturers to step it up.

I thought about trading it in, but honestly I love my column shifter, the power is plenty, and I don't really want to lose money on the trade (or get yelled at by my wife), so I'm going to stick with my 2021.

 

Also, I'm probably one of the highest-mileage 2.7 owners out there at 17k miles, with a lifetime average of 22.5 mpg. I'm pretty freaking happy with that. I'm about to throw on a straight-through magnaflow muffler and a cold air intake so hopefully I squeeze out a little more mpgs or HP/torque.

I have the Afe CIA it’s pretty awesome. I wouldn’t do a muffler… try the CAI alone first it makes the engine sound pretty badass and the turbo louder.

I love my 2.7 turbo. It moves when i stomp on it. No problem passing and at an average of 70-75mph I'm getting 21-22mpg. Remarkably nimble for a full size truck. Can't wait to tune her and get a cold air intake.

Can anyone source the L3B part # and then the new L3B HO part #?  I have a 2022 LTD Custom Trail Boss on the way and dealer has no clue which I am going to see.  RPO is same but part #'s are different.

This thread was a good read. It seems most people are satisfied with this motor. While it’s not a horsepower monster, it seems to have good torque and will only get better starting next year. I really want them to drop the HO 2.7 in the next generation Colorado. If they do, I’ll likely buy that.

I  will say I wish I drove an Ecoboost before pulling the trigger on the Silverado, but I was just worried about reliability (Found On Road Dead). How do the F150 2.7 and 3.5 compare to the GM 2.7? Can't really find much on youtube about how they drive. —- Jonathan Akers

 

 

—————————————————————-

 

 

I just came from a 2.7 ecoboost. The engine was the best part of the whole truck. It’s also Ford’s most reliable engine most likely. It’s incredibly stout. There’s documentation on a Ford forum of a man who travels emergency delivery across the eastern half of the United States who has driven an early 2015 2.7 ecoboost to around 450,000 miles with oil changed and filter changed. And a sensor I believe. Stock turbo. Sometime did happen mechanically at the end and he did trade the truck in for a newer one, but I don’t think it was turbo related. It’s also Ford’s most sold engine in the F150 line up and I’ve seen far far fewer problems as compared to the 5.0 and 3.5 on any type of community board. 
 

 

It’s proof that If the block and internals are built right from the ground up to be forced induction, it can have the same longevity as an 8 cylinder, non forced induction. 

Thermal cycles and friction  are what do internal combustion engines in, and Ford has skimped in that area with their 3.5 ecoboost. Look at the Tundra’s 3.5 twin turbo…….if everything is engineered and up to par, I’d bet on average that engine will last even longer than Ford’s 3.5 ecoboost. They DIDNT skimp on the engine cooling. 
 

This is what interests me about the GM 2.7. Inline engine with only one turbo. And forged internals with a stout block and iron liners. The cooling and thermal system seems to be there to make this a long lasting engine.

      The engine was done as part of the 6.2 recall?   You'd have to see if your VIN also has the 6.2 engine special coverage on it.  Coverage number is N252494003.  If you have this, your engine is covered under this and NOT the GM replacement part engine warranty which is 3yr/100k from the date of install.  The 3yr/100k mi warranty is in effect for non warranty purchases.     This is not any different if it was replaced under warranty without a recall or special coverage.  So if you had a 5.3 and it popped at 3 years in at 50,000mi during the 5yr/60k powertrain, the replacement engine would not get the 3yr/100k, and instead gets the remainder of the 5yr/60k as coverage.     So N252494003 gives 10 years or 150,000mi of coverage, which ever comes first, starting at the vehicle in service date.  So if your in service date is 01/01/2022, N252494003 gives you special coverage of the engine until 01/01/2032 or 150,000mi, whichever comes first.  So if your start date was 01/01/2022, you'd have left 5 years and 4 months (lets round to august 1st), or 62,000mi left of coverage.   So you need to know your in service date to know how much coverage is left.

      Injector update

      By CamGTP · Posted

      Okiee dokie there bud, way to take things to the extreme.   I guess you missed the whole point and take things way to serious. I installed different EV6 style injectors that just so happen to be larger in my car running the same LQ4 engine and with a better spray pattern than the stock style injectors and I noticed no difference in the idle quality. Kinda was my round about way of saying that even if you put the same size but better style injectors in your truck, you will likely see the same thing.    I'm sure you're great to have conversations with in person if that's how you act through a keyboard. One little things sets you off and now I guess my dick is all up in your face.

      I can't believe that could possibly be the case. It should be 36mo/100k miles from installation. Then again, it also seems like since a dealership installed it, it'd all be in the system and you wouldn't need to worry about registering, either. Shows you what I know. 😄 Hope this one outlives the warranty!

      I haven't seen inventory recovery from COVID.    In the few random times I 'build my own' truck or SUV, no one has the exact one I want.   GM has been working to lower incentives too for a long time.    A $500 incentive isn't getting me off the couch to go truck shopping.
