There have been a number of posts regarding the lifter issue, what I would like to know is how many miles you have on your truck with these engines. Right now I’m at 8,500 , but I’ve only had my truck for 7 months.

How many until failure? Or just how many miles currently? 

 

No failure (knock on wood), 22,500 miles, 2021 6.2. Purchased last March/April.

Purchased Nov 2020, 5.3L 8AT @ 25,000 miles. Has been perfect in operation unless you count the sticky auto-stop button when it is cold. I think the family spilled some soda on it on a road trip.  I should get an disabler for the A/S as I hit that button every time I start it.

2019 High Country, 6.2L 10 spd, with 35K.   Been absolutely perfect except for gas mileage compared to my 2018 6.2L

 

I really like this truck! Going to keep it for a few more years until market falls out and trucks will be back to normal again. And they will come back down. "Patience is the key to virtue"

61,000 on my '19.  Rear window leaks and the front axle stub shaft chirp had to be fixed.

 

Love it.  Plan on upgrading it and driving it until it stops working.

2019 SLT 31000 perfect so far. Dealer did change the trans fluid under warranty much smoother shift now. Change oil every 3000-5000 miles using Supertec from day one.

Changing oil more than recommended is more important than the brand.

2019 AT4 with the 6.2/10speed, coming up on 61,000kms and not a single issue with the engine. First winter i owned the truck i kept getting "service 4wd system" and my wireless charger wouldnt work. Those are the only issues I have had with my truck. Only mods i have is AFE magnum intake and a JLT oil catch can. I change my oil every 10,000kms.

Isn’t this a high mileage thread?

 

Why are folks just posting their current  mileage, being well under even 100k?

 

my 2015 XL Denali has 117k on it.  Trans was replaced at 14k , so it alone has about 100k on it.

    • I agree with Tim.  As tech heavy as engines are these days, no way I’d be an early buyer of the new 6.6.  Of course, I bought my ‘26 Denali w/the 6.2 after dumping my Tundra with it’s defective 3.5 liter imploding engine disaster, so I’m a little gun-shy.  That said, my 6.2 has been rock solid.  I don’t drive it like I do my BMW Z4 M40i, but I don’t baby it either.  I got a V8 for a reason.  But I’m averaging 18 around town and 22 highway.  I have seen 24 highway as well when I wasn’t loaded up heavy.  Considering my Tundra with the twin turbo V6 only got 14.5 in town and 17 on the road, I’ll take the 6.2 all day, every day.  If I were you, I’d grab a ‘26 while you can.  Inventories are probably gonna start dropping and I’ll bet the deals will start looking sweeter as well.
    • I am curious if anyone has figured out a way to add an hard button AUX or 360 Camera switch to the center row of switches. I have a 2021 AT4, and want to split the hill decent button and add a 360 camera button so that you don't have to go into the center display and locate the camera functionality, etc...   My father's 2024 Yukon XL AT4 and it has a hard button, see below. I found this thread on the Yukons, but it seems like there may not be a part number for the 2021 sierras. https://www.gm-trucks.com/forums/topic/255339-adding-hard-button-for-camera-on-2021/ Anyone else figured this out. Seems like it would need to be a custom switch!   I am getting ready to install the auto stop/start eliminator, so would be nice to knock them out at once.     Upvote1Downvote0Go to comments
    • Looks like the entire state is burning. 😬
    • Through the years it hasn't been my typical method as I tried to drop oil on an engine that was hot from having been worked, however that was not always practical and had to fire up a unit and let it warm up reasonably well and drop the oil when I had the time to do it but am referring to not only vehicles but a variety of farm equipment and highway tractors etc. However on a vehicle where one is crawling under it and the exhaust is nearby to ones body and if wanting to pull the plug without danger of being hit with boiling hot oil or attempting to remove a HOT oil filter, its sure safer and easier to not have everything smoking hot and can remove the filter right away when under the vehicle and let it all drain. Of course its not the end of the world if a bit of oil stays in the engine that might have eventually found its way out, I like to get out as much as possible but any oil changes that take place in shops would rarely be sitting around for very long at all before the plug is thrown back in and filter slapped on and oil poured in and sent out the door quick like. There would be very little time spent ( assuming they even did it ) in starting the engine with oil to fill the filter, then waiting to verify the level on the stick. A good reason to check ones oil level shortly after a shop changed the oil on a vehicle just to make sure its correct and to look under for any oil around the drain plug or filter.
