- Engine finally replaced by dealer in my Chevrolet Silverado Z71 LT 4wd. Definitely not adding extended warranty after power train warranty ends in November because this truck will have to get the good ole Texas speed cam and aftermarket NON DOD lifters. Chevy was slacking before Covid and even more afterwards especially quality of the lifters and lack of effective heat treatment of certain parts. Chevy has had lifter issues since 2007 but once they started ACTIVE FUEL MANAGEMENT (AFM), things got even worse because that technology would shut off hakf of the engine (4 cylinders) randomly. Then they started DYNAMIC FUEL MANAGEMENT (DFM) in 2019 and things went fully ballistic because this technology has the ability to shut off any random cylinders up to 7 at a time which leaves a guaranteed chance lifters that were already bad will fail.

BE SURE TO SUBSCRIBE FOR MORE VIDEOS COMING ON MY OTHER VEHICLES: 😡😡😡Just got an update. New additional lifter failure and cam completely wiped out now. Still renting a car for $500 a week. Now they decided they will do a new engine replacement which was the same position I was in just a week ago and they chose to just fix few lifters but now they see what cutting corners does. Engine on backorder since early April. Big inconvenience for me and big price for them. It sucks man I probably will sell once it's done cause even a brand new engine the lifters go bad even when you use the plug in thing to keep the lifters from deactivating, I heard they still will go out. Ridiculous. UPDATE: As of late June, truck is back in shop once again for the third time due to bad idle and bad lifter rattle in the new replaced engine. Every time I get the truck back within two days it has to go back which is usually a Friday I get it and following Monday back I'm the shop every single time.

If your truck has AFM disable it.
@@allcore5172 unfortunately that still won't stop this from happening and many people don't know that. The lifters themselves are bad designs. It still doesn't change the fact the lifters are actually defective. The only true solution is aftermarket cam and aftermarket non DOD lifters and lifter trays. People have put the disabled tunes or the plug ins on the obd and stay in full V8 mode and it still didn't help. I drive mine in L7 to stay in 8 cylinder mode and this still happened. Even the dealership realize the only solution is to go aftermarket. Once my warranty ends and if it happens again after that, I will go aftermarket if I haven't sold it prior to then.
@@allcore5172 also starting in year 2019 they no longer use AFM, they us DFM which is dynamic fuel management and that is even worse because afm only shuts off four of the cylinders but dynamic fuel management can shut off any random cylinders up to 7 at a time.
Contact a Lemon law attorney they work
I deactivated the afm, my 15 5.3 has 210k and purrs like a kitten no check engine light. I bought another Chevy. I think you have a bad one.
Stop buying the junk & they'll stop building the junk
My daily driver is 16 years old and has 200 plus thousand miles and more reliable than this modern junk and 95 % cheaper. Drive older vehicles people…
They should replace the bow tie logo with a bandaid logo instead
Slim, GM is junk. I've had gm vehicles all my life . But GM is junk now and won't stand behind their bad engines

@@tripac3392 nope I have a zl1 and I had a 2ss Camaro 6th gen and they are not flawless but anywhere near because the automatic ones have this issue as well and the manual ones have detective shifting forks in the tremec
My folks brought a Sequoia brand new in 2010; that thing has since travelled across west to east coast and back, and even up in Canada on top of being a daily, and that old tank has never had a major problem. Crossing my fingers it won’t have one for another 14 years 🤣
Back in 2015 I was shopping around for a new truck. I had my heart set on a brand new Silverado.....however there was a Ford dealership right across the street and I decided to see what they have to offer.....I was never a Ford guy.....I ended up buying an XL F150 with a Sport package and basic 3.5 non ecoboost V6....for $25K...they gave me every single discount they could.....fast forward to 2024 and that F150 now has over 200K miles.....I never had any issues with it....not a one single check engine light...Everything on this truck works as it should. Interior is still holding up, no weird rattles and shakes......So glad I decided to give Ford a chance....about to get me a new F150 and pass old one to my 15 year old....
Very nice. Be careful the newer stuff during and after covid are very different. Ford has tons of issues with new trucks just like Chevy despite good maintenance the quality and craftsmanship is not there anymore with any of these brands. A person just has to pick the issue they are willing to deal with. Also Ford just recalled over half a million trucks due to major issues of them randomly shifting back to first gear on their own while driving. I'm glad you had that much good out if that 2015
slims right I would be careful with the new f150 they also have issues with the timing chain phaser issue . rattle in startup with the vehicle sitting overnight . they designed new phasers issues with the turbos the valve covers cracking and leaking oil the classic plastic oil pan that leaks time and time again . I would look go to ford tech makuloko channel and get up to date on all The issues them new f150s have before you put your hard earned money down on it brother
Sorry to hear about your junk Chevy, I used to be nothing but a Chevy man but a few years I finally had enough, the one I had I thought it was just a coincidence that everything went wrong with it, so I lost my ass on it to get rid of it and bought a nother one. That one was worse and gm told me we'll its just a bad design and basically told me to get lost. So today I drive a F150 Lariat that I love and smile every time I drive it. Never again gm junk.
I don't blame u. This is my last shot as I'm tired of it being in service more than home. I got rid of Camaro 2ss and this will be my last one. My wife has a 2014 Malibu and it's good with no issues. If I get any other issues before warranty ends I will take it right back to them and the it will be sold after that
@@Everythingwheels12just wait til you get a no communication with tcm code with that malibu. Transmission will be stuck in third gear. My friend goes to the auction with me and he gets alot of those in. He have bad luck all the time with them. Mostly dealing with transmission. Better put your wife in a toyota before the problems start.
Everyone gotta have that new junk , meanwhile I’m loving my 2006, 2005, 2004 and my 1994 6.0 turbo Silverado . 2007 up I’m not having anything to do with it.
I have the 07 and deleted all the afm changes afm lifters camshaft everything afm that was on my motor is gone and it runs flawless
@@DustinKeating-yk3vq That's my plan
I have a 08 Sierra and I haven't had any problems with the engine at all. And it has cylinder shutdown
Im a car dealer and i still drive an 2008 Yukon Denali because its been so reliable and im afraid of upgrading and dealing with issues like this. I travel too much to have things like this slow me down. Why should i have to buy i new truck then spend $1200 on an afm delete kit and tune just to have it reliable?😂😂. I see alot of junk at the auction and most new vehicles are junk. From the factory junk. I dont even have brand loyalty anymore lol
Facts definitely
💯💯💯
Ever since Covid, it seems these vendors that make these parts for the automakers just aren't held to a very high standard. Everything is cheap, cheap, cheap, & cost more, more, more, and I'm damn tired of it
That's exactly the issue. Bad issues made worse after covid. Lifters and parts not being appropriately heat treated etc. They claim the parts in my new engine received much better quality and heat treated correctly but the technology of the dod and dynamic fuel management lifters are still an issue. Everything is cheap and cost more just like you said.
Now we know technically technicians aren't hard working mechanics.
Someone needs to ask the question why does Chevy think they can get away with these prices?
In part, because they are subsidized by the government, too big to fail, and got nothing to lose...
People still go to San Francisco on vacation....so ya, there are millions of morons out there who are oblivious to disaster.
My 2011 Explorer has just shy of 300k with nothing but an alternator and idler pulley fix. My f150 has 200k on it pulling a trailer pretty much everu day of its life and ive did nothing but a starter on it but it was sunk in a mudhole before i bought it. My focus has shy of 250k with nothing but a clutch replacement... they all make junk and some good ones but Ford has always took care of me and my family so I am sticking with them.
Same here with my 2002 F150 and my 2012 Raptor
Only drive to church?
@buddyrich3875 You would be amazed how many of those miles are for church. Very very good investment! I have zero regret for not even 1 mile racked up by all my church trips. (Its been across 4 states to attend some services)
I have a 2003 Explorer with 182k. Only Replaced alternator, had 2 minor problems with plastic interior parts in the past year, and need to replace EGR soon. I got my money worth.
The past 20 years GM has been in a free fall for reliability.
My '06 Silverado with 5.3L has been very good. I guess I got lucky buying it before AFM started in '07.
Yep, after 2003 it is like a throw of a pair of dice, good luck !
All manufacturers are having reliability issues. Cylinder shutdown engines are not as reliable. The auto manufacturers are dealing with the government mandated fuel mileage average. They are called CAFE standards. Corporate Average Fuel Economy. And they increase every single year
My 02 Silverado that I bought new check engine light has never came on once, it has the 4.8 liter V8 I’ll never sell my truck, my new Colorado Trail Boss CE light came on at 300 miles! 😢
Went to dealerships on 3 occasions and decided to keep my 2008 !! Jack
I swear anymore these days ain’t none of the brands reliable anymore they are too focused on the wrong things
Major facts
Just came back from videos about all the Toyota& Lexus recalls, component failures at low mileages.. Almost made me look at my 5.7 Hemi and smile but I know it isn't far down the breakdown list either. Looks like the automobile industry is really in a dark place, and reliability isn't something we would get anytime soon.
Facts with every brand. Just have to hang on to what we have and own because it's also pricey with unreliability
Exactly why I bought a 2015 frontier🤣. It’s a shame how bad these manufacturers have gotten
They didn't't "fix" it...they threw a part at it.....didn't work did it?
I’m just here for all the vehicle experts who drive beaters 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Lol. GM sent my new engine with a Corvette c8 oil cap. Smh they just never learn and even worse the mechanic and nobody noticed it.
I drove a GM for 10 years, one of the best cars I've ever owned. 217,234 on the odometer when I got rid of it; no lights on the dash and drove fine. Im a Honda kind of guy now because GM went bad.
Never buy an American truck assembled in America. I personally make sure that my vehicles are purchase out of Canada as American workers have no pride in their work.
Facts
@@Everythingwheels12 Even that is not a guarantee these days either.
@@jamesm568 agreed because many new vehicles have issues now
Years ago, I bought a brand new Chevy Impala that was built at the Oshawa Ontario Assembly Plant. The front end subframe engine cradle assembly developed cracks at the welds and broke. The welds were defective and caused it to seperate. GM fixed it, and said they had what was called a silent recall on the matter in effect. Sometimes it is not any better build quality in Canada either. It all depends if it was built on a Monday, or Friday.
@@ericknoblauch9195 That is true.
$55,000?
I payed $4000 for a 2004 f150 three yrs ago. 239,000 miles, zero issues
Awesome. Yes the older vehicles were much more affordable & reliable. Newer vehicles are overrated and unreliable with a high price tag for the technology that destroys them. 💯
That's because the previous owner already spent 239,000 $$ on truck repairs !
That's because you can't afford a new vehicle. $4000 was your budget. And buying a vehicle with 239K miles??? That's a risk that only a poor person would take. Not me. I would never buy any vehicle with more than a 100K these days

Sorry to hear about this truck. I have all old cars but one and a it’s a 2021. Very new to me. I hope it will last but I have a feeling my old ones will still be going after the new one has problems. Cars are much safer than they used to be but a lot of build quality has gone to the dogs. It seems that the newer domestics are junk with a huge price tag. It’s a shame people work so hard to afford high car payments and end up with burdens. The car manufacturers should pay.
Very well said. That is exactly why I'm keeping it and not buying a newer problem than the ones I already have.
Sorry man, that totally sucks!

98 chevy s10 got 500 miles still running strong.
The problem is the low skill set at most dealerships. Problems happen, but inconvenience and for me the downtime without my work truck.
It took 3 warrenty failures on my 6L80e before they fixed the cooling thermostat my transmission!
Exactly how I be feeling. Well said truth
Well you could just go with a F-word but you'll just end up with different problems. LOL!!
Lol
2 denali trucks dealer had buy one back. The other replaced the motor less than 50k smh
My 2014 silverado with the 4.3 v6 dropped a lifter and chewed up the camshaft at 167,000 miles. My 2019 silverado with 5.3 lost a lifter that took out the camshaft at 59,000 miles. Did early oil changes and all recommended maintenance. Was smart enough to have extended warranty on 19. Took two months, dealership had no loaner car, thank God I had somebody to let me use their vehicle as rentals are $56 and up per day. Got it fixed and got rid of it. Now driving a beater 2005 Toyota sequoia with 179k miles and it drives beautiful.
Wow sounds exactly like my situation. I'm only at 36k miles. I use to have a V8 tundra and now they are all overpriced for the older ones. I'm going to hold on to mines as warranty ends in November but I might extend the warranty but the whole inconvenience of being without the vehicle is what makes it not worth it but so many newer vehicles are messed up and people are keeping their older stuff so that makes it harder to even obtain an older one
My 1991 Ford F250 4x4 still runs like the day it was new. Engine oil still clear when I change it at 5k miles.
Quit buying junk Skippy

@@Everythingwheels12 The problem is that most guys use those junk Range AFM deactivators. Those things are glitchy. Most guys used to do a real tune to turn the system off and they didn't have lifters fail afterwards. The 2019-21's can be tuned now but if you're going to pay the big money HP Tuners wants, you might as well do a real DFM delete while you are at it.
@@karlschauff7989 right I plan to do the full delete and be done. I never used the plug in range things I always just drive in manual L7 to help but the first owner changed oil every 5k miles but he did lots of Colorado mountain driving and heavy towing
Next the A/C condenser will start leaking. $1000+
I was talking with a mechanic that specializes in axle rear-end repairs. He told me that the auto locking diffs in GM's are flawed and I should expect to do a $1,500 repair some time down the road.
The fake carbon fiber trim did the truck in 😂
And it looks good too. Real money brought it and it ain't cheap. Glad u noticed it. 💯
Too bad for you they are actually real carbon fiber pieces. Only pieces not real is the sticker on the center of steering wheel which is the smallest and is the bowtie I made myself. Make sure you are actually making a good joke when u make one. I got some extra pieces for a new Silverado if u got one
Thanks for the info
Actually a REAL waste of $330,000! Chrysler/Jeep/Dodge/Ram/Plymouth/Desoto actually need to pay! These repeat failures have been sucking more than that since 1941! You tell KaiCenatLive to go tell Chrysler/Jeep/Dodge/Ram/Plymouth/Desoto to do better!

Why don’t they replace the faulty engine design with a previous one that doesn’t do this, or build it the right way before it leaves the factory to begin with
Exactly and they were aware they just didn't care too and still producing it this way
I now have a new engine and it has a knock to it
The new body trucks are more comfortable for tall people but still have the stuck lifter issue. All you can do is change the oil every 5k and pray. The 6.2 seems to get more stuck than the 5.3. Transmission fluid every 50k.
Very true because I'm 6ft 6. I agree because it's gonna be issues regardless because some tear up with no miles on it
5k max and if you live in cold weather or drive a lot of short trips, I would change it sooner than that. Direct injection is a big part of the problem these days. DI gas engines make soot that's more like diesel soot than the soot from an old gas engine. It sticks to parts inside the engine and the oil has a harder time preventing soot formations. Synthetic oils have the downside of forming deposits if the engine gets driven in cold weather for short distances where the engine doesn't get hot. Those deposits can build up and restrict oil flow as well. Despite all that, I know guys with over 200k miles that never had a lifter problem. They are the kind of guys that never bought into the idea that because you use full synthetic you're good for 7500 miles or even 5000 miles. They still change their oil like old timers every 2500 or 3000 miles. Gotta keep the oil clean.

@@trollmode3863 that's insane. Three years is long. I would have definitely made them do more for that. So far I have gotten rental reimbursement.

Smh. So they had to put a new AC Delco on it but I had a new thicker one on it. The engine is shaking a little and the mechanic drove it about 20 miles on his lunch break before I got it.

Hate it for you. My son's 2012 with AFN has over 150K and no issues on his 5.3. I had a 2018 and purchased an afm delete dongle. Drove it 3 years with no issues and traded it in on a new 22 High Country with the 5.3. The AFM was deleted from the factory due to Covid. I gave my AFM delete dongle to my son. Chevy's had issues with this for years but I know folks that's never had an issue with lots of miles. It's crazy, stupid, and intermittent. I personally think it's a supplier issue with the lifters but who knows? I've got a feeling they have changed suppliers over the years to save money and this is what you get. Chevy and all the manufacturers do this all the time. Good luck.
Yessir that is correct. My new engine arrives in a few days and they will be installing it early next week. I hope it at least last until the power train warranty ends in November so that if it does go out after that, I don't feel to go ahead and get the aftermarket cam and lifters with lifter trays (non DOD). It's definitely a supplier issue. Even the new engine will still come with the problematic hardware as well and as you said, these made during covid parts didn't help an already known gm issue.
I had a 2016 bought it brand new transmission was trash with only 40k. Sold it for what I almost paid for it brand new. Until GM stop the DOD campaign all their vehicles are trash.
GM can't get rid of AFM and DFM. They would literally have to stop making V8 engines if they stopped using it. Do you think GM puts that stuff in the engines for fun? It's literally there only because of federal emissions regulations. It's why the Hemi is now gone and why the 5.0 Coyote now has cylinder deactivation. If it wasn't for EPA regulating emissions, AFM and DFM would not exist because no company would waste all that money on the system when they could just use regular lifters.
@@karlschauff7989good point. 💯💯
suckssssssss bro.. sorry for your troubles bro. hope they fix it
Thanks. It is fixed. Hopefully it lasts longer. They ended up having to do a crankshaft sensor relearn after I took it back after the engine replacement. They also had given me the incorrect oil cap as I received one for a V8 Corvette.
@@Everythingwheels12 man im glad to hear that...they should of did that the first time...i had 2008 silverado 1500 ltz 5.3 liter and never had any probs with it...change oil,plugs,filters,and use good gas and these engines last longg time. stay kool friend
@@jayceasar2661 exactly. Actually the dealership ordered the engine the first time but gm denied it and required them to do breakdown and only fix one bank of lifters but what's crazy is the engine was on backorder so when they first ordered it on my first visit that was still the same engine i ended up getting because the truck broke down so quick they didn't even cancel the original engine order
@@Everythingwheels12 thats crazyyyyy
Get it fixed by em again assume its under warranty & TRADE it! Probably a lemon!
Thanks. It is fixed. Hopefully it lasts longer. They ended up having to do a crankshaft sensor relearn after I took it back after the engine replacement. They also had given me the incorrect oil cap as I received one for a V8 Corvette. Definitely lemon tendency but since I'm the second owner, I couldn't pursue lemon claim so I got new engine and rental reimbursement and a credit of $400 in gm rewards
@@Everythingwheels12 , Any other problem(s) before the warranty runs out. It would be history in my book. These trucks cost way to much to have it constantly in the dealership for repairs. Know too many horror stories after the warranty ran out!
@@harrymiller8538 definitely and I'm paying close attention to the problematic 8 speed transmission in mines as well
@@Everythingwheels12 , Understandable. GM used to make good trucks. I knew people with those with the deactivating cylinders that were just the worse for fuel economy & the 8+ gear trannies. My late father used to say 3 speed & overdrive was enough. More than that you are just asking for problems. The big 3 wonder why imports have surged in ownership.
Chevy isnt a good truck anymore haven't been since 2006.
Exactly
I have a 08 Sierra and I haven't had any problems. Original engine.
Build like a rock.they say.
Lesson learned, buy the duramax next time!
Lol I don't tow anything over couple thousand pounds. Duramax I was going to get but I only got this one because it came from an older guy. I had a older tundra that I only sold for home purchase but this Chevy now has a new engine and when it goes out I will get it replaced again and after warranty I will put a cam in it and none DOD lifters. No lesson learned I'm a mechanic and was well aware of these issues. Not my first rodeo
I absolutely hated Chevy vehicles in the military. The interiors fell apart. The doors were easily sprung by a light breeze. And we constantly had engine & transmission issues.
We got one back from the dealer after replacing the transmission, and the entire exhaust fell off while I was driving down the flight line.
Wow that is crazy. Salute to you from one vet to another and thanks for your services.
The engine is one issue, but the service ESC and brakes light, there's a large braided ground strap below the engine on the passenger side that gets rusted, especially where they salt the roads in the winter, i believe it goes from the frame to the engine or body, $20 fix from the auto parts store. The engine, is it a 5.3 or 6.2 and what year?, usually the 5.3 can go 200 to 300K without issue. If a 2021 during the supply chain issues GM had to use a different vendor for 2 or 3 moths in 2021 where the valve springs can break on that run of truck production, there's a TSB on it and that sounds almost like it, luckily I purchased a 2021 Silverado Trail Boss LT with a production date a few weeks before they started using those different springs, 3 years in with no dealer visits other than oil changes and tire rotations. Hope this info helps, good luck, BTW the powertrain warranty is 5 year 60K miles isn't it?
Yes I'm still under warranty until November 10th. I have a 2019 Silverado lt Z71 4 wheel drive with the 5.3 liter. So many have this issues. The lifters are bad. Only true solution is to get aftermarket cam and non DOD lifters and aftermarket lifters trays. Finally got it back today with remanufactured engine. I'm going to see how it goes this time and if it goes out again soon, I will be pursuing action against Chevy about it thru lemon law
I’ll drive my ‘01 z71 till the frame rots out. 349k. Once Chevy got that AFM, they turned a great engine into junk.
The government has fuel mileage standards. Cylinder shutdown increased fuel ratings. Blame the government
@@gregorylyon1004 I do blame the gooberment. Gooberment has caused massive inflation in cars. Their nanny state, mandated hearing loss devices are another inflation inducer.
GM literally had a class action with their infamous lifter issues....its ridiculous. I have a 06 and even they have a lifter issue (luckily its just an oring you replace and youre good)
Hopefully they get you set up, tbh id probably trade up and hope i had better luck on my next one.
Right
O ring for a lifter ?im very curious what your talking about
@@racingjunk7024 its the oil pickup tub oring that causes a lack of oil which means a lack of lubrication which resulted in a lifter tick. Very common in 99-06 GMT800s
Lifter tick is from crappy lifters collapsing not holding oil .pick up tube o rings cause no oil pressure and spin bearings .not liter tick
@@racingjunk7024 i mean i could go indepth about how youre wrong but you simply are. Just look up oil pick up tube o ring 99-06 lifter tick on youtube. Its insanley common.
It's the cam
What a POS I have a 22 2500 and it rattle's like hell when you start it, and transmission sucks! Dealer said transmission will adjust to my driving when we bought it and 30k it's worse! Total POS brother. 75k truck. Is rather drive my 07 diesel
Did they measure for pushrods? 😅 Usually if repeated issues like that it's a pushrod
I have a new engine now
Stay away from newer tundras...blown engines... rear-end issues and transmission failures.
Facts you are right and that's why I didn't buy one. I had the older tundra with the 5.7 I wouldn't dare buy the newer ones because I don't like the v6 twin turbo and they are very ugly trucks as well.
I agree ugly indeed I have a 2016 Tacoma just love and no major problems
Make sure to get a free repair!
Did the btr stage 2 on my 20. Runs like a beast and still get 20mpg. That tuning is another game youll have to play. Hp tuners is the ONLY way. After that, runs like a champ. 40k miles on since the dod delete
Nice
That’s Union for you.$30,000 Truck 🛻 and $25,000 of Union dues to build it. They have more pride being in the Union than pride in their work.
Facts
Buy the 2.7 turbo or a dodge. The ford 3.5 don't trust they break to.
Don’t go back with oem parts find another shop that will replace the cam and lifters and do afm/dod delete the aftermarket parts from Texas speed are good they make a full kit to do the job and that should fix the problem permanently
That is exactly my plan after warranty ends in November if I keep it past that. Thanks. 💯
Buy older chevy any year 2010 and before is more reliable. The new ones won’t last 60k miles
Try to sue the person for a enough so you can buy a brand new one
Sad I drove Chevy trucks all my life and the older trucks were great but the new trucks are junk and waste of money.
Well said
Dude not trying to sound bad or anything, but after gm went bankrupt in 2008. There quality control went down the drain. Get a f150, or Toyota. Gm ain't no good no more.
Facts but all automakers are having issues these days. New tundras are no good only the 21 and under are any good and does have over half million major recalls on trucks. I will just keep my current problem and make it reliable as possible by aftermarket cam and lifters after warranty ends. Going to just ride this new engine meanwhile
Dealer will tell you it’s NORMAL. You need to buy an abnormal Toyota
Pfff… Even Toyota is now having quality issues, thanks to the new engines and transmissions. Get a 2022 and so prior model to save headaches.
@@zaccorpseman7366 Right and all the 2021 tundras and prior are reliable
Damn bro
That’s some serious junk
Facts and the replacement engine is already rattling. Truck back at shop again and in a loaner car.
Oh shit, time to sell that piece. Ive had pretty good luck with Fords f150 5.0
@@jeremyt7752 yep I'm debating selling it but I don't know what to get if I do
F150 with 5.0 I’m at 80k never seen the check engine light.
@@jeremyt7752 nice
Delete afm i did my 07 everything afm that was in n my motor is gone liftetd camshaft everything and it runs flawless doesn't burn a drop of oil either
Definitely going to do after warranty ends in November
Sell it and buy a f150 or tundra with the v8.
Absolute damn shame, keep your head up though, you’ll be golden once the new motor is installed and hand the rental bill to the dealership
Right they reimburse me for entire rental as of today and I'm in a free loaner now. New motor is in but not they have to figure out what has it idling bad and after that I will be good you are right. Got warranty until November so I will at least keep it until then at minimum because it's paid off and everything is so expensive these days. 💯💪🏽
@@Everythingwheels12 that’s crazy man, the workmanship just isn’t there with the new Gm trucks but beware, it isn’t just Gm, a family member bought a new aluminum body for pick up and the engine literally destroyed itself in less than a year, dealership claims casting sand was left in the block and the rest is history lol, I’m diehard Gm on the older Gm”s lol, my everyday for the past 6 years is an 02 ZR2 blazer with the 5speed manual, 200k and love the durability and simplicity of working on it.
@@jamiel3504 facts definitely. I agree. I use to work on cars and I told the dealership each time what was wrong with my car. Also had issues with my Camaro convertible 2ss.
@@Everythingwheels12 sounds like you got a good plan for the truck as far as parting with it, let someone else deal with the BS!! Best of luck with everything and thanks bro
Same thing happened to mine last week lifters and cam .. trade it in buy new one 2400 hd and put extended warranty on it
He meant 2500 heavy duty
Truck is messed up again up even more and I just got it back yesterday. They messed up the idle and it keeps trying to shut off at idle and when I turn ac on it over idles. Lifters going bad again and losing oil pressure. This is literally the third time in just two months and I just got it back yesterday so I only driven it a few days in the past few months. I'm done with this GM definitely has to pay me and they can have their crappy product.
