I know it’s been beaten to death I just really like the GMC or Chevy 1500’s.
 

I’ve been doing some every day and saw that some of the engines were put together in Mexico and had some quality issues, then they were going to be moving them back to the US. Has anyone had any issues with their 2024 6.2’s??

 

I really want to pick up a 1500 6.2 or order a 2025.

2024 6.2 with about 8k miles, no problems yet.  I had 2 previous 6.2s (2019, 2020) and no issues either.

I don't believe anybody has ever mentioned that the Mexico trucks have quality issues above and beyond any normal issues you might come across in manufacturing vehicles.  I know some of the early issues were actually on trucks built here in the states.  As far as the engines are concerned, they are pretty bulletproof other than the occasional lifter failure, and those lifters are in EVERY engine, regardless of location of assembly.

 

This isnt 1980, and GM, Ford, RAM, etc. all build vehicles in Mexico, and they are built to the same standards and requirements as US built units.

 

This being your first post, I wonder if this isn't a trolling post.

I’m definitely not a troll but if you look in the other post with about 5 or 6 pages their is a ton of people with 6.2 issues and that is where the Mexico built quality issues was brought and I read it. I’m just doing some research like everyone else.

I understand with this now being my 3rd post you could think that people are trolling but some people have just joined the forum and want to learn as much as they can before spending $60 or $80k

2022 and 2023 are known issue windows for lower end bearing failures.  2019-2021 is DFM lifters.  So far 2024s seem okay, I'd imagine whatever bugs they had going on have improved, but I've also noticed some dealers have hesitation on stocking 6.2 trucks now.

Don't forget lifter issues, from 2014 to at least 2023 they were still prevalent. But yes more concerning have been the lower end bearing issues, that seems to mainly be on 22 and up models.

I thought all 6.2's were assembled in the Tonawanda plant, outside Buffalo. 

 

 

They are one of three Gen V small block plants.  St. Catherines Propulsion in Ontario, Canada and Silao Propulsion in Silao, Mexico are the others.

 

Tonawanda does LV1, L84, L87, LT1, LT2 and L8T.  The only 6.2 I know 100% exclusively rolls out of Tonawanda is the LT2 for Corvette.

Not VERY Prevalent relative to trucks sold...think of the volume

The bearing issue seems to be on MY23s...got informed of one case in Qatar...not sure about other Middle East Countries.

I would recommend to steer away until they fix the bearing problems...I hear fewer reports on the MY24s than on the MY23s...and there seems to be a change in the part number as well...so I think it will be sorted by MY26. 

 

At this point, better go to a MY22 LTD/MY21 6.2 w/o Auto Start Stop or DFM, or alternatively look at one MY20 or below (better option).

Some MY24s have failed as well....but there has been a part change recently in the midst of this. I suspect it may get fixed by the end of this generation...or at least reduced to lower levels. 

I still would not call the rate exponentially high...

Toyota did something similar with the Tundras...

Almost all the 5.3L and 6.2L engines are built in the USA.  Pull the windows stickers and it says right on there. My 2021 was built in Mexico (6.2) with the engine and trans made in USA.  The ones built in Canada go to Oshawa builds as its a few hours from the plant across line from Tonawanda.  I just looked at 28 trucks and all the V8's were made in USA, 1/2 the truck were Mexico and US builds. 

 

The Turbomax I4 is made in Mexico.

      Intermittent no-code issues on 2022.5+ V8 trucks — what did the shop fail to capture?

      By asilverblazer · Posted

      Length/amount of data capture will be important to consider, sifting through 5 minutes of a data log can be enormous when it is stored in milliseconds. Being able to find the 'event' let alone decipher it.   Presumably the driver would notice something and hit a button to capture the 'window' of data. That window has to be large enough for the operator to recognize the event and react accordingly.    The data has to be able to be retrieved easily.   The data has to be able to be understood. Which is the biggest challenge, dealer techs won't even know what most of it is and would likely not even look at it if an owner brought it to them. Meaning the owner, the least educated/qualified, trying to understand it.    How will the data be presented? Could specific PIDs be selected and a timelapse graph be watched? How will a specific value be noted as abnormal? Additionally, a good data logger would be able to 'learn' normal values for a specific vehicle and flag abnormalities automatically. It could in theory watch parameters degrade over time and suggest maintenance as needed. (If the MAF reading begins tapering off for a given set of other readings - MAP, throttle position, Ambient, etc.. a flag to check air filter.) With the amount of data available, a device (really the vehicle rather than an additional accessory) should be able to do more than issue a DTC. It should be able to run the full diagnostic suite automatically and present a solution rather than a code. (It's not the 90's anymore). The technology is available for the vehicle to not just say "P0087", it should know low fuel pressure, check other PIDs to narrow down the problem itself, and determine if it is a lift pump, high pressure pump, regulator, leak in the fuel line, clogged filter, etc. Even if it can't narrow it down, it should be able to guide the user to the likely problems.   This would be a major problem for dealer service departments, which are the manufacturers customers it is in their collective best interest to NOT have this available to the consumer.   Further, if the owner is going to be the primary consumer of the data, it's got to be at a consumer price point vs. dealer only specialty tool price.   This group is more 'involved' in their vehicle than general public/consumer and will have knowledge, experience, needs and desires that are quite different from the market at large.

      OCI, not when but why?

      I put the prof up. If you read what I posted. You can see that housing, cars and income are in line with the era we were talking about. It’s harder in some places easier in others. Let’s agree to disagree and put this back on track, OK? We both are pretty stubborn and hard headed. But I bring receipts. If you wish I will not respond to you in the future.

      Lets see if I can sum up two pages of nothing useful.    You want to refute your own governments data of the "Purchasing Power" Index FOR THE ENTIRE USA and its territories replacing it with the experience of a single family and its business and label that reality?  Then pound on that for a week hoping it will find traction?    Stan, I've told you several times. I don't do irrational. There are more people in the USA than your family.    I'm pretty sure this tread is so blown up. I'll give you a few days or months if need be to post yourself silent then I'll see if I can find enough parts of the train to reassemble it.

      VSE CCV Bypass - Anyone have this installed in their L5P?

      By asilverblazer · Posted

      Facebook groups hate VSE, poor customer service; their responses to criticisms are pretty poor for a reputable company. I'm not a customer, haven't bought anything from them, but how they handle themselves on social media is a definite "No" for me.

      Transmission Woes :-(

      By asilverblazer · Posted

      $10,000 for a transmission?   Pretty sure I could buy all the parts, tools, and education to rebuild it myself for a quarter of that amount.   or swap it out with a new one...
