It's what happens when there is no singular standard. Nearly 9 billion people each carving out for themselves what they believe is 'righteous". Now if we only had access to a uniform standard Ops! I forgot myself for a second. Back to your regularly scheduled programming. 😬 (Pull the pin, check. Toss the grenade into the trashcan, check. Put the lid back on, check....now wait ) -
Where the truck was built doesn't matter, all the crank shafts were machined and created by a Mexican based company. The factory just takes the part off the shelf and installs it, the problem lies with the supplier and GM using cheap labor. As i said this is why the next gen v-8's, these parts are coming back to being made here in house, so they can make sure the quality is there. Still that does no one any good with a 2020-current truck using these botched parts. Only decent engine option right now is the 5.3 imo, no way in hell would i ever buy a truck with a 2.nothing 20+lb boosted 4 cylinder and the diesel has it's own share of major issue right now, these new v-8's literally cant come quick enough imo.... -

Any idea what that is as a percentage of the worlds daily use is? Context matters my friend 😉 -

There is a lot of good information in this post. 😉 I was hoping to get the OP's opinion though. Understand what his views are to better place his post in his context. This grabbed my attention. Only because I understood instantly context is literally everything to that web referenced search and that provide none of the kind that mattered. Yes it has the miles and oil change limits (context) but missed the most important factor....service. OR perhaps is assumed it at the level of Joe Average Consumer experience. I know, for instance from years of racing that a valve spring can be destroyed in under 50 feet or last a million plus miles in a commercial diesel engines. Cyclic Fatigue varies allot with the type of use it gets. Point is that the engine whose stress is the least, all other things equal, last the longest. It's the "other things equal" part that gets ignored. Thus as you say below: It was a good post. Went well with my second cuppa.
