The trade value on an open recall'd 6.2 is gonna be a problem even if you jump brands.  Its a paperweight at a GM dealer, a Ford dealer, a Ram dealer, a Toyota dealer, etc.  Doesn't matter until that recall is closed and even then, there's probably gonna be lower value anyway as a result of all this on the wholesale side for the fixed trucks as well which means lower trade on fixed trucks that are still owned.

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

We had that problem back in the 5.7 diesel days. At least it was easy to convert to gas and drive on. Easy to get the replacement in salvage yards. We had 3. Lucky us

So went to my GM dealer today to sell my 6.2 and buy a 2500, This was the response I got!!

 

Dealer: So the VIN# tells alot...I can't buy your truck anyway. There is an open recall with no remedy and has been put on the stop sale list...Manufacturer dealers cannot sell them. It would sit on the lot until there is a remedy and there is no expected date of remedy.

 

Me: So all it needs to to have the test done and it gets a 10year 150k warranty. You as a dealer should know this and can have it done. I as a GM customer have to wait in line. I have addressed this with GM many times.

 

Dealer: I understand what you are saying. I am simply passing on what my GM is saying...we have several already parked on the back line with this issue waiting for the remedy on the stop sale. He informed me that until it is lifted or corrected we cannot purchase it.

I mean, a dealer does not have any obligation to buy your trade-in. That would have to come from General Motors.

This says a lot about how confident GM is in this test process. They don’t want to take any of these back because they know the potential of failure is still high… I. Sure glad I bought a 6.2 litre Chevy….

Damn that stinks man, GM needs to do better in these situations imo. Does Toyota have issues, you bet they do but they seem to be light years better at trying to make it as less painful as possible to the customer, while GM does what's best for GM only.

As we were told @ work when questioning 'stupidity' from up the food chain, 'You're not looking at the big picture...'.

Anybody try selling one to Carmax or Carvana?  I've sold 2 cars to them.  When I put a VIN in, normally get a quote immediately (including on a 24 year old Corvette I didn't sell them).  Just put in my 2021 Sierra AT4 6.2L, which has no reported accidents, and Carmax responded 'We'd like to see your car before quoting.  We don't see many like this.'

wouldn't surprise me if that's about the 6.2l recall, some other people have posted on another forum that they've had gm dealerships not want to take a 6.2l trade in.

      MPG at 600 miles

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      There are probably a few threads talking about fuel mileage but this one seemed to fit the stats I have seen based on my typical local driven route but with different outcomes based on different seasons/temperatures. I have a few hundred pounds of items that consistently ride on the truck at all times such as a bak flip cover, rubber bed mat, tools and extra fuel so I would be something over 8100 lb without me in the truck. All these examples are based on a 100 mile round trip to a town plus running around town so maybe 110 to 120 miles in total for a trip. Using regular fuel and I assume it always has some ethanol in it but don't know the percentage they blend in. Also speed wise I am going at 62 mph and non aggressive driving although less speed yet if its crappy winter condition roads. I am going by an initial reset of the computer generated fuel use numbers averaged over a couple of thousand miles or so for each weather/season so they may be more optimistic then actual hand calculated numbers. Basically this is painting a picture of doing the same drive but seasonal conditions and temperature being the major variable to the end result. Oh and although I am in Alberta Canada, I am converting it to miles per US gallon so there is no confusion.    So winter time it gets cold here, no real surprise there and the roads can be clear at times but also often have packed rough snow or are are driving through loose snow ( they do a poor job of plowing the highways ) and yes this includes the extra idle engine time due to trying not to freeze ones butt off. 12.7 mpg is what I was getting during the winter months on average.    Then during the spring when it was around the freezing point and the highways are clear of snow, I was getting around 14.25 mpg.   Summer time, I have been getting around 15.15 on average but certainly some of the trips showed quite a bit better fuel mileage, so much depended on how much or little I had driven around town and number of engine restarts after sitting for a while at each location. But stating a best fuel mileage trip to town pretending that is what the truck gets on average is fooling ones self for sure !.      As I said in a different post, I had driven a 645 mile trip over a couple of days stint to a different destination then these other daily to town examples above, and was done during the summer with nice weather and not bucking a head wind, also keeping at 62 mph and its a rolling landscape type highway drive ( this isn't southern Alberta or Saskatchewan flat lands ) Hand calculated fuel mileage in this case though and it came out to 17.65

      Factory front brake rotors...defect?

      By Chris80s · Posted

      On my wife's 2020 Blazer (~69000 miles), we started to notice the brakes pulsating at faster speeds. Typically around town you don't notice anything, but highway/interstate driving you will notice it. I decided to pull of the front tires and look at the brakes. I figured with the milage, the pads should be wearing out to their life span, but they actually looked decent. Still with "meat" on them. One pad has a ridge wearing in it, and that same rotor is showing the ridge too. That's not the concerning part...the other rotor appears to have a raised bump on it!  The picture make it look like a pimple! Very odd and strange! NOTE: These are the factory brakes and rotors.   I'm attaching pictures of the front brakes and what they look like ate ~69000 miles.
