Damm, I know that is what warranty's are for but depending on what individual does the work I cannot help but wonder if it would ever be the same. best of luck and hope it turns out well.

Sorry to read this. Really terrible news but luckily you have warranty. Hopefully the new engine won’t have the same issue.

Thought all the 3L duramax engines were assembled in Flint. Could be wrong though

We had a post the other day regarding Toyota admitting they have clear issues regarding their newer engines in the Tundra. Here we have a clear example of the Mary Bara led GM were they have a clear known issue known with the trust plate and instead of issuing a recall to keep owners satisfied, the bean counters must of decided it is better to let as many fall out of warranty coverage as possible and only be forced to fix the ones who fall within the 3/36.

 

Sad to continue to see them drop the ball on everything they do it seems, seriously how many here have any faith in the next gen v-8's, because i sure don't!

That's about the mileage.

 

Did they show you the thrust bearing piece?  The one we had looked like this:

The 3.0's are warrantied to 5 years/100k by default. But yes, if GM is aware of the production run for the affected engines, those engines should be recalled and replaced.

Any indication that it was about to fail?

 

I've just rolled over 2,000 miles on mine and no issues so far, but I'm nowhere near out of the woods if the typical failure is sometime <10k.

No indication at all. Just doing a normal Sunday drive pulling my little snowmobile trailer ( 1900lbs) and the warning popped up on the dash and HUD, dropped down to 60km/h. Pulled over and shut the truck off, left it for a minute started again and continued on for another 5 minutes before it went reduced again. Continuous cycle to get back home. Long day!

As a new vehicle owner, engine replacement should be the last thing on your mind.

Do you happen to know what your build date is?  Demonworks on YT was tracking them on the DuramaxNews website.  My 2025 is an April build, and I am at around 4500 miles. Getting ready for a 1500 mile road trip, and this is the last thing I want to be worried about.

Not OP but the one we replaced an engine at work was a March 2025 truck, 2025 model year.  Let go at 5,408mi.  

 

The TSB was last updated at the end of January but still only has a model year range with no specific build range.  Just 2025 and 2026 model years as a whole so far.

Thanks for the info!  I'm sure the failure rate vs number of trucks built with the 3.0L is still fairly low, but it doesn't instill confidence knowing it could let go at any time.

      Why does Mobil Premium cost 90 cents a gallon more than Shell Premium when their regular offerings are but pennies apart?

      Gas Prices

      Was all the way down to $3.69 a gallon but then jumped back to $3.99 just because for some reason.   Diesel floats between $4.80's to $5.10ish a gallon. I even saw Diesel #1 for $6.09 today but nobody in there right mind even buys that in the summer.

      OTA updates and radio still cuts out

      By Coastie05 · Posted

      Mine just keeps lagging or getting stuck on the reverse camera. When I turn off the truck, get out, and close the door it will still stay on. It’s very intermittent and I would not be able to duplicate the issue.

      Gas Prices

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      I was checking out fuel prices at my farm fuel retailer at their pumps and yes the farm price is a bit lower than the non dyed fuel and was glad to see that the regular farm gas price has dropped a lot from what it had been but what blew me away was the price of diesel as the spread now compared to before the prices went up earlier in the year, diesel was actually slightly lower than gas which was a switch from the theme the last number of years. However that sure isn't the theme lately and definitely not right now. The prices I will post are not from that retailer but just looking at gasbuddy for the main city in this area and instead of posting the lowest price someone found I will list the higher price ( and that may not be the highest price, just whatever someone posted on gasbuddy ).   So regular gas and there are a lot of stations listing the same price for regular is 1.68 a liter, premium 2.00 a liter. Diesel 2.03 a liter for a top price I saw on diesel.   Figures out to 6.36 a us gallon Canadian funds for regular and 7.68 for diesel. With the US exchange rate it would be 4.58 us for regular and 5.53 for diesel.    Thought I would figure that out to get a picture of what it settles out like compared to various US prices and its about the same as the current price in Fairbanks AK as Anchorage tends to be lower. So yes, these would be the prices and higher along the way on the Alaska highway where they know they have a captured market !, for fuel prices for those beginning the long drive back to the lower 48   The problem is our Canadian dollar and going to the states that have the high prices, boy do we pay then !

      OTA updates and radio still cuts out

      By wxman13 · Posted

      Just wanted to get a idea of how many of you still have problems with your radio cutting out during the first few minutes of driving, my 2024 GMC Sierra still does this after a little over 2 years of complaining to my dealer about it, and OTA updates no longer complete, the check for updates in settings is greyed out for the second time while trying to install a update, my dealer took about a week to play around with it the first time this happened, and somehow got the check for updates to work, even though it would always show system is up to date when I knew it wasn't, now again 1 month later its greyed out again when the OTA update N25-F163BU tried to install, which ironically is the update to help with reliability of future updates.
