Yeah well. I have to eat my own words now, and crow, and ******. My lifters took a dump yesterday morning. Was at a stop light, gave it gas, heard a loud pop sound, motor started shaking, dash lit up like a xmas tree, and you could hear the lifter(s) clacking.....  🤬

Just type in your little browser problem years for GM. Lifter and transmission problems are well represented. Even some class action lawsuits. So it’s not all peachy. I joined the website in 2014 beca

Not correct.  As shown in that link, I asked YOU for a source.  You replied by asking me for a source, without providing one yourself.  That's why I replied "no source".

Along with eating crow, I was given a GOLD Malibu as a loaner.

As a fella who has eaten a bit of crow now and again; it goes down nice with a bit of salt and a bourbon. 😉

That fits.  It seems like 20-30k miles for the "bad batch" trucks and 60-80k for the rest.  The AFM trucks all seemed to go at 130-150k.

 

Anyone think we should start a data collection sticky thread where we all post our mileage-at-failure and drivetrain info to start logging this?

I would love to see a UOA at the time of failure when the failure 'naturally". (60-80K). All I'd like to see is the GC fuel, 100C viscosity and add package. Not part of a normal UOA but a foam sequence and 150 C HTHS viscosity would be enlightening. 🤔 There are nuts to crack in that bag. 😏

I advised my brother in law not to buy a 2013 Tahoe with cylinder deactivation. He got a good deal and bought it. I advised him to change the oil no later than 5K miles. He runs at least 300K miles. He’s at 135K miles now. There’re going to rack up miles in the next 6 months before retirement. He wants to move back to Texas or Oklahoma. He’s currently in Slidell. It’s going to get interesting.

Evan Williams Honey Whisky is mine. Margaritas when I play cards. Bloody Mary if I get hungry playing cards. 😁

      2027 GMC Sierra: Official Discussion

      By Jus Cruisin · Posted

      I was the GM of a Lincoln Mercury dealership back in the 80's. The service lot was always full with "broken" ones. Plenty of transmissions, power windows and a/c repairs. The only one I'd consider owning would be the Marauder at this point and it certainly wouldn't be a daily driver.  My 2025 GMC Sierra 1500 Denali Ultimate is my "Lincoln Town Car" in my retirement. I want all the "stuff". Big infotainment screens, one touch power windows, Supercruise (I won't buy another vehicle without it), hands free pretty much everything. I'm going to swap my current truck for a 2027 Yukon Denali Ultimate so I can have the air suspension and surround vision recording along with all the other "stuff".

      The Denali Ultimate's grille is tinted, but the "regular' Denali has a bright chrome grille like the current models.

      Because that is IDIOTIC, much like this question. They've already been forced to do it by past administrations - why would you roll that back when it's a GOOD thing?  WHO IS ARGUING FOR LOWER MILEAGE???? 😂  NOBODY IS!!   I'm certainly not! What I want is RELIABLE vehicles again that are worth the price paid!    I don't get your logic here ...   In 2003 I paid $2,200 for our '86 Grand Marquis. It's STILL running and I've never been inside the engine, aside for the timing cover since it was leaking, so I threw a new timing set in since that makes sense. Transmission is ORIGINAL. Electric pump in the gas tank is ORIGINAL. Rear end is ORIGINAL. I'd have to hit my head REAL hard to want to pay $60k or more for a car that still can't come close to the comfort, seating and storage space, or reliability of this one. Nothing is even in the ball park! Hundreds of thousands of brands and models have been built and sent to the crusher while this one keeps on going!   https://postimg.cc/Z9XRrCSg   I've got a whole fleet of cars, motorcycles, and a truck close to this age for summer and winter. No one could pay me enough to buy anything built this century. I have zero use for any it.

      Since I'm the one who has to fix them when they break, I'll take vehicles over 30 years old all day, EVERY day, over ANY modern crap. Have you attempted any repairs on anything built after 2006? It's a friggin nightmare, and gets worse the newer the model year.    If I had the will or desire, I can make any car of any age outside of a Model T (I don't have THAT much will ...) just as powerful, comfortable, and have all the tech the new stuff does, and get pretty close in mileage, too. I prefer SIMPLICITY. The less the vehicle has, the less to fix WHEN it breaks, not IF.   I'm glad you snot-nosed punks don't like them. More for us, plus that keeps the prices from climbing more than they already have.👍
