Why gm got away from the 5.7 vortec is beyond my understanding.
I had one in a ‘96 gmc pickup and it was bullet proof.
It's been a long time since GM was known for "steadfast reliability and flexibility".
My 25 year old ford modular v8 shows no sign of slowing down.
The US manufacturers and Stellantis are attempting to design vehicles that completely fall apart the day after the warranty expires. GM just went a little bit too far.
Huh, My 2016 Cadillac CtS-V has the 6.2,granted it’s supercharged and a little older but less than 50k and runs like new, still scary fast
The first car company to whip out the blueprints for pre- 2007 cars and build them again mainly as they were will start selling a lot of cars/Trucks. GM should bring back the Buicks from that time along with the 3.8L engine. Bring back the old Siverado’s too. All of those vehicles could hit at least 300K if taken care of.
I’m fed up with the feds...
Get out of our lives...!!!!
Government Motors, never will I buy one.
Ford I had was bad enough, and it felt refined compared to a GM similar car.
Isn’t machining done by programmable robot machines? How do they get it wrong? Incorrect programming?
Bring back the 250 cubic inch inline six!
Put BS EPA restrictions in place and this happens.
MY CHEVY 1 TON 4 SPEED WITH A 454 ENGINE +++==OVER 348,000 ON THE CHASSIS & A NEW BUILD ENGINE...NOT A REBUILD. 50 YEARS OLD.
MY BUICK WAGON WITH A 403 OLDS ENGINE WITH OVER 225,000 MILES. 47 YEARS OLD.
NEITHER IS FOR SALE.....
From my observations everything manufactured after kung flu lockdowns has been crap.
10W30 oil.
I had zero issues with my 2019 6.2L Silverado. Great engine, great truck.
Dicked around so much with electric they forgot how to make real motors.
isn’t using thicker oil akin to bananas that stuffed into shaky read-end differentials in “The Grapes of Wrath”?
Isn’t it the type of oil now used like SAE 0W-20 full synthetic oil that are the cause of more engine wear?
Article should have included Ford’s bigger engines also. Just about every engine 5 litres and above have lubrication issues, internal part failures due to either poor design or poor quality material, fuel management sub-systems, etc. DuraMax, once known for bullet-proof engines now is being dragged into the muck because of internal part failures.
Big Auto seems to be trying to hit the sweet spot where they produce a vehicle that will last just until the warranty expires and then service department cash starts to roll in as design and quality failures are fixed using the customer’s money.
