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!

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.

      Fred was in the fertilized egg business. He had several hundred young pullets, and ten roosters to fertilize the eggs He kept records, and any rooster not performing went into the soup pot and was replaced. This took a lot of time, so he bought some tiny bells and attached them to his roosters. Each bell had a different tone, so he could tell from a distance, which rooster was performing. Now, he could sit on the porch and fill out an efficiency report by just listening to the bells. Fred's favourite rooster, old Butch, was a very fine specimen, but this morning he noticed old Butch's bell hadn't rung at all! When he went to investigate, he saw the other roosters were busy chasing pullets, bells-a-ringing, but the pullets, hearing the roosters coming, would run for cover. To Fred's amazement, old Butch had his bell in his beak, so it couldn't ring. He'd sneak up on a pullet, do his job and walk on to the next one. Fred was so proud of old Butch, he entered him in the City Show and he became an overnight sensation among the judges. The result was the judges not only awarded old Butch the "No Bell Piece Prize," but they also awarded him the "Pulletsurprise" as well. Clearly old Butch was a politician in the making. Who else but a politician could figure out how to win two of the most coveted awards on our planet by being the best at sneaking up on the unsuspecting populace and screwing them when they weren't paying attention. Vote carefully in the next election, you can't always hear the bells.

      High Country Suburban build confirmation

      By 3CarSeatDad · Posted

      Can someone confirm if the GM order workbench terminal is able to validate a custom build sequence:   1) Initialize the Allocation Base: Open a new vehicle build queue, select the 2026 Chevrolet Suburban 4WD, and pick the High Country (3LZ Preferred Equipment Group).   2) Select the Diesel Powertrain: Go directly to the engine configuration screen and choose RPO code LZ0 (3.0L Duramax Turbo-Diesel). Ensure it maps to the MHS 10-speed automatic transmission.   3) Deploy the Seating Swap: Navigate to the Interior Options screen and enter RPO code ATT to replace the standard captain's chairs with the power-release 60/40 bench seat. Because you are not trying to force a separate luxury or air-suspension bundle, the standard, premium D07 Fixed Floor Console remains active. The system will accept this change immediately without triggering a warning message.   3)Apply Heavy-Duty Hauling Capability: Input RPO code NHT (Max Trailering Package). The commercial terminal will automatically bundle the required trailering hardware and software modules to support the diesel engine's maximum towing capacity.   5) Layer the Premium Tech and Glass: Separately add code C3U (Panoramic Power Sunroof) and code UKL (Super Cruise) to the order screen.   6) Run the Final Validation: Click the "Validate Order" button at the bottom of the interface.

      Looking at ordering a '26 WT because I want a std cab, std bed

      Spent the last hour or 2 googling and reading up on the spacer thing. I don't like the loss of thread contact on the slip on spacers, but it appears you can get "extended" lug nuts that reach into the hole of the wheel to get back the lost threads. Looks like the only true hubcentric slip on spacers are at least .375". I'd want as little as I could get away with and don't want to cause other clearance issues going any thicker. Bora seems to offer what appears to be a well made .375" spacer and extended lug nuts. I searched here and did find a couple threads recommending Bora. But not cheap. By the time I buy spacers and lugs, new TPMS sensors, then pay a tire shop to install the new sensors, I suspect I'm going to be in over $400. Thinking about running out and getting some washers to put behind the wheel to see if .375" is enough to clear calipers, turn lock to lock without rubbing, and to see if the wheels/tires look strange pushed out a little. This would just be to check fitment.

      Road Master Active Suspension

      By Core-Lokt · Posted

      Roadmaster makes some quality parts; I have their sway bar. I considered the RAS, but I ended up bagging. I didn't know what kind of ride I'd get with RAS, and the bags have interior jounce bumpers, so I can run 0 pounds pressure. I figured I'd have the best of normal suspension ride with assist on-demand. But it seems you got pretty much the same in one item.
