Any Silverado 1500s with the 5.3L or 6.2L manufactured in 2022 had lifter issues?

The big portion of lifter issues was a select production window from September 2020 to March 2021.  This was the known window of manufacturer issues with the AFM/DFM lifters.

 

Some 2022 LTD and all 4x4 2022.5 trucks with the 5.3 have DFM disabled still EXCEPT for NHT Max Trailer Package trucks due to the chip shortage.

I'm a heavy line tech at a chevrolet dealer and I can 100% tell you that the 22's have lifter concerns as well. (personal experience)

What about the 6.2?

6.2 still has DFM enabled.  Not affected by the chip shortage.

That is not correct, I am on my 2nd 22 LTD, both have had DFM ENABLED

What trim?  I know most all LT and some LTZ have it disabled.  All NHT its functional.  Not sure on High Country, it might be enabled on those.  

 

Refresh 2022 all 4x4 5.3 lose DFM.  2wd and NHT keep it.  All trim levels.

Both were 5.3L 4x4 High Country. The first had everything installed & working, current one came without Auto stop (no retrofit) & Park assist not enabled w/ later retrofit. Both have/had DFM, still undecided about a Pulsar LT or an Autosync to get rid of the DFM

Engines are built at Tonawanda, NY, regardless of where the truck is assembled.

This explains why the engines keep on blowing up , they are built in NY by democrats.

You know the tonawanda plant has been assembling engines for GM since 1938, right?  Politics aside, as much as i really hate liberals, that does not mean politics involve issues with engines due to an issue involving part sourcing.   They assemble the engines with the parts they are provided.  The issue has been the parts they have been sourced.  If there was an issue with the liberals assembling our engines for us, it would have popped up since 1938 already.  But here i am talking to a wall again.  Can only provide so many facts before you go "but muh dodge" when they have the same lifter issue.

With engine components sourced from China, India and Mexico.  
 

Waiting for GM’s next $50 billion taxpayer funded bailout.

Actually not true. Engine components are sourced and machined in factories in ohio, michigan, and new york.   Looking at ac delco oem engine parts, i have only seen USA made components.  Only parts made in mexico are hoses belts etc.

      2026 DENALI 6.2L

      By pyoung62 · Posted

      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.

      Can you add a 360° Cameras hard button to a 2021 Sierra?

      By ShowMeShooter1332 · Posted

      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

      Oil Consumption

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      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.
