Sounds like you need to cancel your order and go pick up a Yugo. You're going to worry yourself to death

Well I am brand loyal. Know why ?  I just bought my 17th and 18th Chevy truck. The LTZ is a 5.3 and the High Country is a 6.2. Am I concerned? Not in the least bit. I've never

Reading this site will make you paranoid but I don't believe some of this but iam not saying there's is a not a problem but I have noticed on this site that alot of people come on here with a low meaning 1-10 or so post count saying they have the problem also now are they here just to bring up the hype (troll) the site on the issue. Me I cant see joining a site just to complain on an issue and never heard from again. Best thing to do is talk to your dealers service manager and see what they have to say and not rely on a forum.

 

Back a couple years ago when the oil cooler line blowing off issue was going on I was in our dealership at that time when this was going on I talked to the shop Foreman which is a friend of mine and ask him about the issue he told me he has not seen any trucks come in with the issue but he did a search on dealers around a 100 mile area and only saw 3 oil cooler line issues but those trucks had high miles and were leaking. You saw so many people come on here with low post counts saying they had the issue also and never heard from again then all the sudden that faze was gone. So don't believe everything you read on here.   

 

Think about it I could join a Ford forum and say my truck just dropped a piston at 2000 miles and it would create a wave of worries on the forum when I don't even own a Ford.

When I’m researching a vehicle I look to the net to research any corresponding problems. It’s how I ended here in 2014. There is a class action lawsuit over GM lifter failures.

Your poll is not going to be accurate because guys come here to complain about their issues.

Nobody hardly ever comes on here to say how great their truck is. 

I've said this many times. The www exaggerates this issue.

The real failure rate is probably less than 1%.

I doubt that class action suit will get anywhere also. They rarely do.

Report back when your tranny starts slipping when you try hauling something and your tires keep screeching due to the tranny slippage and you are barely going anywhere.  First hand experience with this with dodge and their gassers just trying to haul a car. 

 

Also. You do know dodge is suffering the exact same lifter issue in all of their v8's right?  Whats that tell you?  Its NOT a GM issue, but a supplier issue.

If you like the dodge so much why you buying a GM?

 

Because hes a forum troll.  If you search saso's post history you will learn this rather quickly.

Researching a vehicle is like watching the news. You have to watch several different forums.

Well I am brand loyal.

Know why ? 

I just bought my 17th and 18th Chevy truck.

The LTZ is a 5.3 and the High Country is a 6.2.

Am I concerned? Not in the least bit.

I've never had a major issue except a head gasket on a 03 Duramax LB7. Failed at 200,000 miles. Still drove it for a month bottle feeding it anti freeze daily.

Big deal. I was ready for a new truck anyway. 

I've got almost 3 million miles under my belt driving Chevys.

I've been left on the side of the road 3 times in 43 years.

That's brand loyal.

      I just bought one of these.   https://www.topdon.us/collections/diagnostic-tools/products/artidiag-pro   Yeah, it`s got a cable. $250/year after 2 years. Do I want more? Yep. But, I`m not working any more and can`t afford a whirlpool in my tool box.

      Why don't I have a good scanner? I've always wanted one when I've needed one.   My latest reading says I don't need to do a relearn on the ckp sensor on a 1995 with OBD 1.5. The relearn is prescribed for the later-model 1995's which shipped with actual OBD II when GM completed the transition in prep for the 1996 MY. I need to confirm that. Did you know forums are disappearing? Knuckleheads on Facebook... it's not the same. It's just not.   So, scanners. Again, shooting myself in the foot for having eBayed my Snap On MT2500 "brick" with all the adapters. Not that I couldn't buy another but those are getting quite old, and mine wasn't new enough to work on 2000's vehicles.   Damn it (as I'm scanning my email between paragraphs here). Did you know there's a 2000 Jimmy 2-door on BaT that's ending this morning? It's local. I want it. 14k miles. Absolutely beautiful.   Back to scanners. MT2500's are old. Solus, now that could be a contender. There's a ~2008 Verus with a system error that's basically new in box for cheap. Hmm...I'm not sure about a scanner that runs an archaic version of windows (95 or CE, I can't tell).   I want the ability to reset and rotate TPMS, test individual modules, bleed ABS, electronic parking brake controls for servicing brakes, relearn procedures and other bidirectional controls.   Snap On does an MT2600. It's a new model as of last year, marketed as their "entry" scanner. Entry? Only where $1900 gets you through the doorway plus, I'm guessing, $1000/year if you wish to keep it current. So goes scan tools actually designed for production environments. Want decent products with excellent support, you pay for it.   Everyone is raving about Autels and TopDons and Foxconns and all these newer brands that are selling the $500 "prosumer" scanners for backyard hacks like me. They're tempting...honestly. Updates are cheaper, base prices are remarkably cheaper... And you get to deal with bugs and translation whoopsies and, well, just don't use it on anything expensive, OK? Having a dealer replace an ECU because it needs to be re-imaged after an adventure in scanning is no joke. But I think most people are getting by OK with these units.   eBay on a scratch-and-sniff pro-model oldie, a shiny new TopDon, or???   God dang it, I can't stop looking at this Jimmy. I'm ready! I'll Bring The TRailer! It's beautiful.

      What have you done to your K2 today?

      I removed the OE running boards.  It looked so much better.  I wish I took them off a long time ago.     I had to put something back on for my wife.  I wanted Westin Sure Grip Running Boards but they are very pricey, like $600 plus.  I was going to go with the Ionic 41's like I had on the 2019 Silverado but went with Westin Outlaw Drop Steps instead, about $200 cheaper.  They are sturdy and functional but not super crazy about the look, but it works.
