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.

      Do you remember that Harley Davidson was more successful (solvent) when it produced about 60% of the market demand (by design) and forced wait times of up to three years? Even when your turn came around it was, "Take what we are giving you or move to the back of the line and start over". HUGE markup's were 'normalized' and dealer killed. 40% markup and no floor plan? What's not to love? Greed will kill them yet. They have surplus production and customer base is tanking. And still they think nosebleed pricing will work.

      The engine was done as part of the 6.2 recall?   You'd have to see if your VIN also has the 6.2 engine special coverage on it.  Coverage number is N252494003.  If you have this, your engine is covered under this and NOT the GM replacement part engine warranty which is 3yr/100k from the date of install.  The 3yr/100k mi warranty is in effect for non warranty purchases.     This is not any different if it was replaced under warranty without a recall or special coverage.  So if you had a 5.3 and it popped at 3 years in at 50,000mi during the 5yr/60k powertrain, the replacement engine would not get the 3yr/100k, and instead gets the remainder of the 5yr/60k as coverage.     So N252494003 gives 10 years or 150,000mi of coverage, which ever comes first, starting at the vehicle in service date.  So if your in service date is 01/01/2022, N252494003 gives you special coverage of the engine until 01/01/2032 or 150,000mi, whichever comes first.  So if your start date was 01/01/2022, you'd have left 5 years and 4 months (lets round to august 1st), or 62,000mi left of coverage.   So you need to know your in service date to know how much coverage is left.

      Injector update

      By CamGTP · Posted

      Okiee dokie there bud, way to take things to the extreme.   I guess you missed the whole point and take things way to serious. I installed different EV6 style injectors that just so happen to be larger in my car running the same LQ4 engine and with a better spray pattern than the stock style injectors and I noticed no difference in the idle quality. Kinda was my round about way of saying that even if you put the same size but better style injectors in your truck, you will likely see the same thing.    I'm sure you're great to have conversations with in person if that's how you act through a keyboard. One little things sets you off and now I guess my dick is all up in your face.

      I can't believe that could possibly be the case. It should be 36mo/100k miles from installation. Then again, it also seems like since a dealership installed it, it'd all be in the system and you wouldn't need to worry about registering, either. Shows you what I know. 😄 Hope this one outlives the warranty!
