2022 GMC 6.2

[Highstrung]

I bought a Toyota.. I have six in my driveway now

[Highstrung]

And 2th has some in his family as well.. I just like to make jokes about the Durango, just like he likes to pick on my truck because it's uber cool

[wob]

What was the cause?

My Ford is a pos, and I've been eyeballing a gmc. My old vehicle buying strategy was to buy used and drive them until the wheels were falling off, but I think I'm shifting to buying new and only keeping them for a two years while theyre under warranty. Nothing seems to last anymore and repair costs will make you cry.

The circle is rod bearing cap on cyl 7. Notice how its black compared to the others (arrow)



Here it is zoomed in

[KRT]

So #7 rod bearing spun and then got stuck and basically it “fried”. Customer was cruising on I-26, felt a “jolt” and the rest is history.

Google GM 6.2 rod bearing or main bearing failure. Pretty common on the Gen V L87 engines and the LT1

80K miles…. Oof !

[BrownDog]

Does it have anything to do with the fact these engines run 0-20 oil?

A lot of failures starting at 3k miles according to GM. They are also claiming supplier issues…. Go figure.

[wdhigh]

I believe ford is blaming supplier issues also with the 7.3 lifter problems.

[Duckkiller]

yep. happened at 4600 miles to me. GM replaced all of them.

[Fireman]

China ain't making metal like they used to... Man my truck search has completely shifted over the last 6 months. I am replacing an 05 F150, but now im looking for a 3/4 ton truck that is older than my current one. People think I'm crazy, but I just don't want a new truck and new truck problems. I want something I can throw a motor or trans in for a reasonable price and keep trucking. Hell I'd be keeping the F150 if it was a crew cab.

[Black Bart]

People don't use blinkers anymore. Until they are already into their turn. It is maddening...

Glad I ain't the only one. They turn 'em on after they provide any benefit. Maddening.

[2thDoc]

i started a thread many moons ago about shit that pisses me off. it was late left turn signals and I caught hell for being a curmudgeon.

so, fuck all yall.

the end

oh and hey KRT. my blinker worked for a little while last weekend. I was so happy, I kept turning left for hours...

[KRT]

Hey 2thdoc. Glad it worked briefly

[SwampDecoy]

Hey 2thdoc. Glad it worked briefly

New Blinker Fluid fixed it?

[BCR3]

I know absolutely zero about fixing anything in a truck but that looks like it's gonna be one hell of a repair bill!

[KRT]

Yeah that bill won’t be light

I honestly hate that GM has went to shit. Other manufactures are not relying on AFM to meet emissions. Chrysler did it for a bit, however their failure is no where near GM.

If you own a GM that has a V8, I’d strongly recommend an extended warranty and take it to a reputable shop that can get all that crap deleted and covered if it fails.

Aside from engine issues, I keep a GM 6 speed and 8 speed trans in stock for 2014 and newer models.

Food for thought

I don’t bash brands. I just try and post informative info ocassionally.

[2thDoc]

i couldnt get the right blinker fluid so i used the 710 fluid

[Highstrung]

I'm glad your blinker works

This should be the standard response for every new vehicle thread....
