the real issue here is Metaldyne Performance Group who supplies most of the powdered metal forged and machined rods ASSEMBLED by Tonawanda.  As recent as 2021, JD Norman Industries sued Metaldyne over

Update(s)   GM sent dealers a new special tool to use with an existing tool, the Picoscope (fancy high end oscilloscope plus a whole bunch of other fun stuff it can do).  Its a knock sensor

It's like eating crawfish without washing and rinsing before boiling!  I see you are from the real part of LA. 

Crawfish? Spicy with Budwiser?  It`s still crawfish season now. Get em while they`re here.

I get it. Just can`t figure out why a large corporation like GM can clean all their blocks, crank oil passages, heads, etc except one RPO. They outta ALL be trashy.

Cleaning is one thing, but what if something was actually MADE out of spec by ten thousandths. Could take a bit of time to show a problem, but eventually will. Maybe there is a bad journal, or bad rod. Maybe they weigh all the rods from one manufacturer going into the Vette motors to get balance as good as can be for a production motor, but the product manger for the trucks authorized the use of rods from any manufacturer in the trucks, and maybe even mixed batches, or worse, mixed manufacturers. That sure would make a difference. Of course, just postulating.

 

Interesting, though, that they know the exact date range of the affected motors. So, they know exactly what's wrong, which will eventually become public, but they will likely not share HOW it happened.

10 thousandths is HUGE. Maybe .001 to .0015, maybe .002 out of spec. That would still cause problems right off the assy line. Especially if it were .001 or more too tight.

I haven't followed this whole thread so maybe someone has already mentioned this but if not Lake Speed, Jr. "The Oil Guy Geek" has a You Tube Video out on the 6.2 recall. I highly recommend if you have one of these affected engines you view it.

Maybe I worded it wrong, but you know what I meant. 😉

There are SO many videos on this. Do you have a link to the one you specifically mentioned?

Has anyone tried trading one of these in yet? Carvana gave me a quote, didn’t love it but it was a quote.

 

Wondering if it’s not better to just dump early and move on to something else rather than deal with this bs.

What model and trim do you have, and what was the quote?

Carvana can be very generous or very low. Depends on what’s selling for them.
 

I sold a truck to them last year and the process was super fast and easy. So if you do get an offer you like, I wouldn’t hesitate to take it.

You can try and dump but prepare to probably take a hit on it as on the wholesale side of things they are staying away from them and the prices are dropping down.

      Replacing 2.7L on 2021 Silverado with 2023 2.7L

      OCI, not when but why?

      By KARNUT · Posted

      But Grumpy I did show several subdivisions that had homes starting in the 170K range. If you bought a Townhouse or Condo you could go cheaper. Same with a car 3000 dollars in the 70s translates to around 20K today. There are several models at that price. You actually get more for the money. In the 70s I drove a 3000$ car bought a 28K home and made 4.50 per hour. Thank goodness for overtime. Today I could buy a 170K house drive a 20K car and make 25 dollars an hour operating the same machine today. The difference the house, car, machine would be better and have AC. And I wouldn’t be taxed on overtime. And statistically your wife works too. Easing the burden. I thought we agreed to disagree. I brought receipts earlier, showing examples. I think you’re more stubborn than me. I was done with this debate.

      I’m definitely interested to hear the end result here.

      Another 6.2L engine failure!

      By MASONV88888888 · Posted

      My 2025 Silverado 1500 had to receive a brand-new engine (long block) under warranty last month at only around 16,500 miles. Before the replacement, the truck repeatedly displayed "Engine Oil Level Low" warnings, even though the Oil Life Monitor still showed around 50% remaining after about 6,000 miles since my last oil change. After seeing the warning several times, I checked the dipstick with the engine cold, and the oil level was completely normal. The next day, the message escalated to "Add Engine Oil." At first, I assumed it was just a faulty oil level sensor, so I brought the truck to the dealership. After inspecting the engine, they found internal cylinder wall scoring and ultimately replaced the entire long block under warranty. Before this happened, I was planning to install a 4-inch lift and suspension upgrade on my truck. After needing a new engine at just 16,500 miles, I honestly don't see the point anymore. I also contacted GM to ask whether my vehicle qualified for a buyback, but I was informed that it does not at this time. Anyway, this experience has left me with serious concerns about the long-term reliability of this engine. I sincerely hope NHTSA expands the current investigation or recall to include 2025 model and performs a thorough inspection of affected vehicles. My biggest concern is that these engines may fail shortly after the powertrain warranty expires. If GM truly stands behind this engine, then at the very least, please consider extending the powertrain warranty to 10 years for affected owners. That would go a long way toward restoring customer confidence.

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Without exception but then I'm the odd duck, right? I know what goes into that test, how it is calculated and thus how to beat it. But EPA values are often not beaten by the general public and the government has in past years adjusted the means and methods to come to those values to more closely approximate "Joe Average".    The only real trick to beating that EPA average is don't drive like "Joe Average".    It's the same method you used to profit from "Economic Migration" and in doing so beat the 'stats'. But you, like me, are not "Joe Average".     The thing you don't seem to grasp is this "Purchasing Power Index" isn't forward looking. It doesn't predict what it going to be but looks backward and states what it was. They are not telling us what the THINK, they are telling us what they MEASURED. Example:    Wife says "I'm going to lose 40 pounds by Christmas". May she does, maybe she doesn't but the doctors office who weighed her when she made that statement and again at Christmas only REPORTS what the RESULT was. You and I can banter about what was possible and what aunt Tilly did till the cows come home but the result is the result. Arguing otherwise is.....irrational. That's all I'm saying. This isn't about:      What you are calling a 'Statistic' is a RESULT not a CALCUATION and as a result the RULE. Like gravity as a rule, it can not be broken.
