I am not GM hater, please don put a label on me, I'm just concerned customer is all. the rumor out there is sold 10% of gm v8 engines have lifter problems some as early as 24 miles on the clock most under 15k miles that is a massive number, if that is true im am shocked that GM is totally ignoring this problem .

Then why are you/did buy one? Just curious as why someone who is so worried would make a financial commitment with something they don't even trust.

 

I noticed on one of your other posts you stated that you also had a 2022 F150 on order? Buying both?

 

Different set up, but zero issues with the 6.2 in my 18. Great engine!

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

GM is not ignoring the problem, but I honestly think they aren’t sure what to do.  Also, I think supply chain issues are limiting what they can do. I suspect the real fail rate is low enough that they will just swallow repairs as they come. Keep in mind the scale here….there’s a bunch of these motors out there so even a small fail rate translates

into a lot of failures. That said, acceptable defect rates for other manufactured goods are much lower than what GM is willing to do. RAM had a similar problem early on with MDS but I think they finally got that solved. The concept of DoD is good but I’m not sure anyone has a good system in practice. 
 

What’s the best, most reliable DoD system out there?

So why is this forum exists? For people like me to ask questions or people like you to attack people who ask questions? Last I check this is still capitalist United States of America and first amendment is freedom of speech? I should be able to ask what ever I want, if you don’t like my question move on don’t reply… good day sir.

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.  

The ZF 8 speed in the RAM is better than most GM transmissions, I would admit.

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

Forums are not a good representation of reliability. If you do not trust me , well suit yourself.

They are not ignoring the issue. The problem is that 2021 genuinely had bad parts, and even then it was not serious.

RAM/s MDS has similar problems. Toyota 5.7Ls have valve spring problems and cam tower leaks (big repair bills).

This a very old thread. GM has made attempts to fix their problem. Everyone has problems. As for Ram they definitely made a change.

RAM still has MDS issues after 2016. You can check their forums.

I don’t need to. My company has several including a TRX. My brother drives a Ford Super Snake truck. My nephew and lead salesman drive new Raptors. Our service trucks are different brands from one tons to F-450s. My second brother runs 19 ROW crews on pipelines with mostly Fords gas and diesel. There’s a few Rams GMs. Even though I’m retired from the family business I still stay plugged in at my leisure. I prefer my old Avalanche. But I keep up with the latest and greatest. As an ex fleet buyer it’s in my blood. I’m not claiming to be all knowledgeable but I’m close.

      2019+ Brake failure, it's complicated

      By needafix · Posted

      I'm not sure if this should be a new topic, let me know if it's out of place. This my first post. Thanks 85077522 - AC Delco GM Genuine Parts Brake Master Cylinders. Anyone else had to replace this brake master cylinder yet. I didn't do any brake work, it looks like new parts and I've had the truck for about 4k miles, 119k total miles.  When it started to throw codes I did the calibrations with a bidirectional scanner and got the codes to clear but they came back so I did the routine; base bleed, automated bleed and final base bleed. All that with Bosch ES16-32N fluid (please look it up). That seemed to fix it but 100ish miles later it failed again so I ran the same process but with a pressure bleeder this time and got the same results, fixed for 100ish miles. The original fluid looked bad and I thought I got most of it out, it could've been the wrong fluid. The codes; P25A2, C05B0-00, C2A1B. I can get them to clear but not for long. The C05B0 indicates a leak in the front circuit (which is bone dry) so I'm thinking of doing the bleed process on that front again today and I don't know if that's taboo to just do the front but at this point it seems like it's worth the try anyway. The new master cylinder/module unit is supposed to get here today. But now I'm pretty much convinced this install is over my head. I've called several shops and some mobile guys that I know but this thing is like radio active material, scary wise. I did get 2 local shops say they should be able to do it, one says he has the SPS2 programing capability. And with the battery disconnected is there supposed to be pedal resistance, mine is to the floor, then if I pump it I can get some resistance. I had a panic stop prior to this issue which may have contributed from what I read. And on the first attempt to bleed and hydraulic test the scanner listed things to look for and one was any gaps between the pad and rotors which I did notice on the RF corner and I removed the outer pad (where the gap was) cleaned it and the hardware and didn't see a gap after that but will re-check it. I read that if pushing the caliper pistons back then you're supposed to open the bleeder so as to not push fluid backwards into the abs module or it will damage it. If that's true then that's also a possibility from the previous owner having the brakes changed before I got it. I'm using an XTool ip500 scanner. Any suggestions, questions and comments welcome.
