2.7 Turbo 4 Fan Club

[15 Z71]

Actually one of the reasons I went with the 2.7 is after being on this site since 2015 i didn't really see alot of people having or complaining about problems with them. I see WAY more about the new 5.3's and the 6.2's. And also I watched tons of YouTube video after videos for months before deciding. Then after I actually went and drove one I was super impressed.  Hope it holds up as long as my o5.3's did.

You have to punch in your VIN on the recall link on myChevrolet or contact your dealer. 
Look for : 

Special Coverage N242484740 Evaporative Emissions Purge Pump

Replaced my own before covered on tech recall Special COVERAGE finally got my check. No reimbursement for my

time to remove and replace. Took 2X to get ECM MIL code to reset.

Just picked up a 2025 with the 2.7. So far I’m a huge fan! 

[silveradosid]

just wondering if there is anyone who has driven the first gen 2.7 and then got a newer truck with the 2nd gen 2.7, do you notice any difference

I say this as a compliment....I know we have a few oil nerds in here, whats the consensus on Mobil 1? Did 1st two changes with dealer and now be doing my own. So looking at what i can source local on a weekend. Not opposed to ordering online, but rather just head to Autozone if possible

 

So, Mobil 1 Full syn? And variation in weight/Visc? Lucas? 

 

Im in AZ, so we run hot....
