GM - engineers and workers are too woke now to make and assemble combustion powered engines. Go woke, go broke. The problem is mostly in the lubrication galley design or lack thereof. The bearings get starved for oil and burn out, which brings on catastrophic engine destruction which makes repair no longer cost efficient so an entire engine replacement is necessary. There are so many engines going down, factory replacement engines are taking months to obtain. It’s one huge mess and it may spell doom for the GM vehicle division, especially in the truck division where working trucks can’t sit idle for months.

My 2013 Suburban just turned over 300k miles. Bought it new and have never worked on the 5.3 engine. I have replaced 2 alternators, multiple tires and brake jobs, a water pump and just last summer the AC compressor and a new battery. Most trouble free car I have ever had. Do I hear 400K?
