So true. No one ever seems to have actual failure rate data. I see countless vehicles like these evey day on the road and never see one broke down on the side of the road
So many mandates forcing OEMs to make overly complex motors. GM and every other OEM would rather sell you a simple motor but trucks are in the crosshairs of overzealous lawmakers. Inevitably costs will rise and reliability will go down.
Cylinder deactivation is killing all the v8’s. It’s a useless mandate pushed by the epa. I got better gas mileage after disabling the cylinder deactivation and staying in v8.
Well, that doesn’t stop the inferior materials used to build the cam and lifters. AFM has proven that it works in the earlier years of it. Between bad materials being used now and people trying to do the 10k oil changes is what’s causing these issues now.
I absolutely hate the cylinder deactivation in my Ram, going to try a new Ford f350 soon . All of these new trucks are just nothing like the trucks of old , some great new features but some absolutely horrible ones as well.
@@ramrider1453 I still have a 2000 5.3. Bullet proof. Hemi`s? There`s a lot more GM v-8`s out there. There`s also a lot of modern 5.3`s and 6.2`s with over 150,000 miles with no problems. Change the oil at 4 to 5000 miles. I also believe this 0w20 oil is a long term problem. I drained my 0w20 factory oil at 497 miles. It`s got Valvoline 5w30 now.
@@puncht37 I used to have a 2003 GMC 6L HD. Ran and started well. Sold it with 150,000 Kilometers. But I had piston slap and she was taking just over two litres of oil from oil change intervals. But I used to tow a fifth wheel and boat. She worked and pulled well. I just hated the electrical gremlins.
3.0 Duramax in our suburban and it's been perfect. Best road trip vehicle and does fine towing our boat. The 700 mile fuel range is nice on trips (suburban has 28 gallon tank). Maintenance really isn't much different than gas other than the occasional fuel filter change and a jug of DEF (use the Walmart brand cost negligible). These engines are becoming so widespread that even Walmart carries the correct oil for these (ESP x2). I've done all the oil changes and fuel filter changes myself (except for the one free oil change that GM gives you). Cost me about $55 for a DIY oil change, $30 for a fuel filter. Not Towing, fuel economy is at 26.5. towing our boat is 17mpg.
Just because a 2.7 turbo can pull a full size truck with the tuning that’s been done doesn’t mean that it’s going to be reliable for the long run. I guess if you’re not driving that much and buy a new vehicle every two years you may or may not have any problems but, the next owner will.
I finally threw in the towel on my 2022 5.3 Silverado LTZ due to continued lifter issues leaving me stranded. What a POS. I wasn't aware of the 6.2L issues.

I agree with the forum thing, it's very true! Worst place you can go to get an un skewed vison of how big of a problem something actually is. I have experienced the lifter issues with the 5.3 in my sierra, and it didn't really change my opinion, still a shameless V8 guy. No replacement for displacement!
@SIL-GMER well said. And all trucks have problems. If someone jumped ship because of lifter issues they would most likely be jumping into another issue with another brand. And I hope the v8s fond a way to stsy around forever
@Jason-Samko yup, I've owned Ford and GM products over the years. Some run forever, and some don't last a year. It's a lottery you don't need a ticket for.
I bought my Silverado ZR2 Bison 2025 Duramax on Black Friday and I love that engine. It's my first diesel and I couldn't be happier. The only downside is that it doesn't sound as good as the V8 🥲.
My uncle is a shop foreman at a dealership here in Texas. Told me most of the things they are getting in the shop are the turbos. I own a 2006 4.8 with 250,000 miles. Replaced the water pump. Thats it.
I have a 2015 with a 5.3L V8, with only 33,000 miles. I haven't had an issue with it. New headlights, new battery, and seal for the third tail light. Put the Range AFM delete in it and it runs great. Ran like crap without it - full V8 all the time, only lost maybe 1 mpg. Tranny runs a bit hot on long trips; the torque converter is the issue with this generation of trucks, but so far so good. That said, would probably consider the 3.0 Duramax for the next one. Heard good things about the 2.7L, but count me as one of the folks a little skeptical of a 4 cylinder turbo in a full size truck. Makes sense on paper for a Colorado, but not a Silverado, but haven't driven one yet.
I have a buddy with the 1500 Chevy with the 4 cylinder he loves it. I have another buddy with a F150 with the 2.7 he loves it as well. I think the days of the grossly underpowered trucks are a thing of the 1980’s and 1990’s. Heck I remember when a vehicle had 100k miles it was clapped out and ready for the junk yard. Now that still has 60-70% of the price you paid new.
The Chevy lifter issue seemed to be a 2019-20 issue. Everyone I know who has Chevy's newer than that, have never complained at least to me. I personally, would not hesitate to buy a Chevy V-8 right now. In fact, a Chevy trail boss LT with a 6.2 or 5.3 was on my short list when I was looking for a new truck. Merry Christmas to you and your family, Jason.

The 4 cylinder turbo engines, in the pickup trucks haven’t been out long enough to determine if they’re reliable long term. Time will tell.. One thing for sure, all vehicles aren’t made like they were 20 years ago - longevity is long gone!
Jason Merry Christmas. A cheat for Silverado 1500's, if it has anything but a 5.3 Chevrolet advertise it on the hood on the cowl near the windshield with chrome letters, 6.2, Duramax, Turbomax.
So you’re saying the 5.3 has lifter issues but the 6.2 doesn’t? Serious question as I am looking to get a 2025 Silverado but haven’t decided which V8 to get yet.
@seg316. He was talking about the hood emblems for what motor each truck has. From what I hear both v8s can have issues. But again I don't think it's as bad as people say.
Thanks, you just answered my question on the DuraMax engine. Hopefully I can purchase the 1500 ZR2 or the Colorado Z71 by the end of the week. Great information, as usual Jason. Much appreciated! 👍🏻🎄
It's got that new oil pump belt instead of a chain. I keep my trucks too long too be worried about a belt degrading and little chunks of Kevlar floating around the engine after 100,000 miles.

@@davidporter7051 spot on. All trucks have issues. Leaving on to another is just jumping from the pan to the flame. We are all gonna get cooked eventually
In their effort to make trucks lighter, GM is using cheaper and cheaper stamped steel parts in their vehicles. If you have one, get under it and look at some of these parts - they are just not going to hold up long term. Compare it to a truck just 10 years older. The new turbo 2.7 engine is a 100k mile engine. The price should have been going down due to all the reduced quality & weight of components, but they don't - they just go up.
I had a 2015 GMC Sierra. Loved it. Nice truck. It was just an SLE, but a nicely equipped one with the Z71 off road suspension package, double cab. 5.3L V8. Traded it in on a 2017 Toyota Tacoma TRD Off Road this last February. Why? Paranoia over the stuck lifter issues that so many people were having. Very expensive repair, especially if your cam gets jacked up. Had to take that truck in for quite a few recalls. Been a GM guy my whole life. Decided to give Toyota a try for the first time in my life. (I'm 55). As far as the new gen. GM trucks go, I'm sure they are equipped w/ AFM (Active Fuel Management) just like my 2015 GMC was. Why does that matter? Again, I would point out the lifter issues. Besides that, the fuel pump modules on these new gen. GM trucks are failing left and right. Trucks with just 4,000 mi. on the odometer. Not just gas, diesel also (although it seems to be fewer occurrences with the diesels). All newer trucks across the board just seem to have too many issues these days. No matter the manufacturer. Cheap materials, poor engineering (?). If I won the lottery, I would seek out a 2023 Taco w/low miles. (Last year for the V6). I would be very hesitant to shell out 50 to 80k for ANYTHING brand new these days. (Yes, even with lottery money $$ LoL).
I believe anything built from 2020 on, you’re taking a chance. I feel like all this crap started during the pandemic. Everything has gotten worse since then.
Merry Christmas to Jason and his family on this Christmas Day 2024. Thanks for your always outstanding advice. Andy McKane, Christmas Day 2024, Maunaloa, HI.
True. I realized the overblown nature of forums 15 or so years ago. I owned a 5.4 3v for 11 yrs and an obscene amount of miles and no issues. FOS or the reality of things? I believed the GM guy nonsense about Fords being junk 30 yrs ago. And the GM guys WERE wrong. Fords are great. I also believed the Dodge trucks are junk argument. And they WERE wrong. Again FOS or the reality of things?
The Ford F.150 is the highest selling full size pickup truck in America. It sells more than the Chevrolet Silverado and it sells more than the GMC Sierra. Now, that’s what Ford advertises, so let’s not act like stupid babies for the sake of content. Obviously if you combine the General Motors name plates, of their separate branded trucks, then those combined do exceed the sales total of the Ford F.150 but what consumer walks around saying “yep I’m gonna go get me a GM truck? No one, so they’re the same truck you say? Okay that’s fine, but obviously they’re branded (nameplates) differently. Ford is usually pretty close to 900k F.150s annually, Chevy is around 500k Silverados, and GMC usually sells around 300k Sierras a year. So GM barely squeezes past Ford, while using TWO DIFFERENT NAMEPLATES
I just traded in my 2011 Ford F150 with a 5.0L Coyote V8 in it (with 360 HP and 380 Ibs of Torque) for a 2024 Nissan Titan with the 5.6L Endurance V8 in it with 400 HP and 413 Ibs of Torque and man its a freakn beast.

True. I realized the overblown nature of forums 15 or so years ago. I owned a 5.4 3v for 11 yrs and an obscene amount of miles and no issues. FOS or the reality of things? I believed the GM guy nonsense about Fords being junk 30 yrs ago. And the GM guys WERE wrong. Fords are great. I also believed the Dodge trucks are junk argument. And they WERE wrong. Again FOS or the reality of things?
@@richvangorder3900 well said
I paid 100 bucks to my mechanic to deactivate that issue
All you did was turn off the AFM, the faulty lifters are still there. And they still can go bad even with the AFM disabled.
I c, it's a 2013 with 163000 miles on it with the 5.3 so hopefully I won't have issues
There shouldn't be any issues with the new engines, Zero. It's not new technology and shouldn't be a crap shoot.
I think right now it’s a Toyota problem. Not GM.
So many lifters failures
not really the failure is below industry averages
Didn’t Chevy do away with the 3.0 Duramax this year?
@@SteveSweaney-k1t no. It went from the lm2 to the lzo version in 23 and the lm2 totally phased out in 2025
Thanks for reply. Contemplating getting the 3.0.
@SteveSweaney-k1t great motor
Chevy trucks are the longest lasting trucks on the road. Support American Products.
Then why we watching your videos ..?? 🤔😂🤣
I would never own a Toyota lmao 🤣
Lol. Ford is not the most selling truck….. “Stop it”. I had a chuckle😊. Well done Jason. Now it’s Xmas. Time for a whiskey. Cheers 🍻
😂. Merry Christmas to you and your family
The Ford F.150 is the highest selling full size pickup truck in America. It sells more than the Chevrolet Silverado and it sells more than the GMC Sierra. Now, that’s what Ford advertises, so let’s not act like stupid babies for the sake of content. Obviously if you combine the General Motors name plates, of their separate branded trucks, then those combined do exceed the sales total of the Ford F.150 but what consumer walks around saying “yep I’m gonna go get me a GM truck? No one, so they’re the same truck you say? Okay that’s fine, but obviously they’re branded (nameplates) differently. Ford is usually pretty close to 900k F.150s annually, Chevy is around 500k Silverados, and GMC usually sells around 300k Sierras a year. So GM barely squeezes past Ford, while using TWO DIFFERENT NAMEPLATES
Maybe ford should bring back mazda to make it even 😂😂😂
Ford also has f250 f350 f450 included in their sale numbers. Gm separates the hd trucks from the 1500s in their sale numbers
500k + 300k > 900k? You need to brush up on your math😂
@@dropshot5371 yep did it my math and knowledge is spot on
2gen tundra or Titan... Problem solved. Domestic is trash
I just traded in my 2011 Ford F150 with a 5.0L Coyote V8 in it (with 360 HP and 380 Ibs of Torque) for a 2024 Nissan Titan with the 5.6L Endurance V8 in it with 400 HP and 413 Ibs of Torque and man its a freakn beast.
Junk overpriced garbage
engines bro engines!
@@kristoffMR ford motor Corp
General motors
Bavarian motor works
Honda motors
Etc
All independent machanics a know don’t recommend any new chevi V8s. They work on them .?so they know something.
Let me try and explain adverse selection. All they see are vehicles with problems. There’s more of them on the road so they see more.
The front end of Chevy trucks are Sooo Ugly ..!
just buy electric
Why buy these trucks, if their riddled with problems that comes with a high price.Absolute rubbish.
