final verdict on my 6.2 valve issue  at 72,000 miles  - Dealer says "lifter spun in lifter guide causing lifter to come apart and chew up camshaft lobe"

Took 3 weeks to get GM parts, and $4K to fix.  GM customer cost assistance paid 25%  -$1,000 - still trying to negotiate with them, but they are like the IRS to deal with.

 

My salesman tried to get on me for driving my Wife's Hyundai to his dealership to check on my truck everyday, until his own service manager talked about a Hyundai with 85,000 miles they had traded for that had an engine issue - and Hyundai replaced the entire engine under warranty.

Anything mechanical can fail at any point in time. GM has cranked out hundreds of thousands of these L83, L86, L84 and L87 engines since 2013 I would say yours is an exception to the longevi

I have a 2016 Yukon XL Denali 6.2l  that bent a pushrod at 67,000 miles (just out of power train warranty)  Replaced the pushrod and rocker arm.  Now at 71,000 have 2 stuck lifters and a dead cam.  De

Not the same architecture, changes in internal design and operation.   Half the AFM cylinders use collapsible lifters and half solid, all the DFMs use all collapsible and it is the solid one

I have a 2021 Chevy trail boss 6.2 with 5500 miles. Was driving home from work and the motor started missing and making all kinds of noise. It’s at the dealer now for a bent pushrod as well.

almost 12k on my mine with quite a bit of towing... I have an 8k lb travel trailer and no issues so far. I hope this is one off issue and not a pattern starting.

I have a 2020 Sierra Denali 1500 with the L87. Bent a pushrod into an S Curve shape at 8,000 miles on April 18. Happened on a road trip when restarted after fueling. Repair requires replacing a high pressure fuel line, which is on backorder. Dealer technician is outstanding and he indicated this is a common problem. Took it to the dealer on April 19 - now might not be repaired until next week.

This is my 3rd 6.2L L87 (previously owned a 2017 & 2018). This is the first engine issue I have experienced.

2021 Sierra Denali 6.2L 11,600 miles (11 months). Driving down road yesterday at 55 on cruise and it started jerking and making noise. Limped about 1 mile to GM dealer and they were able to take it in right away. 2 hrs later they were showing me a bent push rod and putting me in a loaner.  Shock, they had the parts in stock and I should have it back today.

Are they extending your warranty? A push rod doesn’t bend itself. I wouldn’t be concerned about getting it back quickly. I’d be concerned a repeat.

It's not a real good time to purchase any new vehicle.

There’s only one auto maker I’d buy from right now new. Hyundai. My GM trucks if needed would be prior to 2006.

Life is to short to worry about things you have no control over.

Yea your right, no need to worry about putting an engine in a new 60K vehicle. Usually people who have engine problems early are given the curtesy of an extended warranty. But hey, it’s only about 14K for a new one. Piece of cake.

This thread and many like it are why I want to stay with OHC. I know I can have phasers and chain stretch problems, but damn, not to the tune of 4 k!! That’s ridiculous.

One more time.   2019 Silverado Z-71.   Stupid small back doors and small back seat, AVOID THE SO CALLED DOUBLE CAB, IT SUCKS.    Anyhow, engine 'let go' three times in 10 months.  Lots of push rods and valve at 87,000, again at 97,000 one more time around 108,000.  Plenty of parts, valves, push rods, something about the journal and oil filter full of metal pieces.  GM called me and asked if it was currently running.  When I said 'yes' she said OK and hung up.  GM's phone number in Detroit?   Here you go.....   866.790.5600    They could have gave a ******.

Was an issue during covid with getting parts from suppliers.  Its the same mechanical design with the same lifter/pushrod design being used since 2007 or so, and you dont hear those ones failing that often if ever.  Lots of parts were produced then just sitting being exposed to all sorts of things in the environment during covid then when they got supplied and used, failures happened.  It sucks, but its also common sense to NOT buy when people are not working and parts have been sitting for long times.

      Differential covers

      By RJL1 · Posted

      I just brought home a 2020 GMC 1500 Denali.  She has 53K miles on her and I want to change out the fluids over the next few weeks.  I see the diff covers don't have drain plugs.  Any suggestions where I can pick up front and rear diff covers with drain plugs?   Thanks,   Bob

      Ac not keeping up

      Well, the dealership got the compressor and installed it. Air at the vents seems nice and cold as it should be. The service manager said the repair has a two year warranty and unlimited mileage. Hopefully I don't have to use it. The dealership i went to was one where I bought my 2014 half ton silverado. In 10 years and 168k miles on the truck anything I needed done and two small recalls they were always very good to me. Not a huge dealer either. I think they treat people well because they want you to come back. I have dealt with a different dealer that was too big to care about an individual. Just my two cents.

      Multigate Connector Difficult to Connect Fully

      By Another JR · Posted

      Hi All, I operate my 2021 3500 SLT most of the time with the tailgate off and in a crate because I have a slide-in camper. However, at least once a year, I take the camper off and put the tailgate back on. Recently I installed the tailgate, but had a hard time getting the connector bail to swing to the fully latched position. The connector seems to fully seat, and everything works, but the bail doesn’t swing to fully latched position.  It swings almost there but stops and I am afraid to push it any harder.    Does anyone have any advice on cleaning or lubrication or anything else I should be doing?  i know how to properly operate the connector. During the time the tailgate and connector are off, i have a double plastic bag over the truck connector secured with rubber bands to keep it clean, but it still had some dust in it this time when I blew it out with compressed air. I didn’t want to spray it with anything other than air without doing some research. Thanks.

      There are a lot of spammer's that do that, quote something and add some commentary to make it seem legit, but modify the quoted text a bunch making sure when posted it's long enough to be "click to expand", and either immediately insert a spam link, or come back after some time and edit it to add the spam link.

      Hello @jaszr2 Do you have a link for the item? I put a replacement bumper on my truck and consequently had to relocate the shutters. I studied on them a while, and figured if you left a couple key blades, you could get most of the airflow with probably no throwing codes.
