Better figure out how to make them again

Just bring back the 5.7. Those plans should still be in the CNC machine.

The 6.2 recall is blown out of proportion, although still something to correct.

A local Chevy dealer here is literally BOGO. Buy a Silverado EV and get a Blazer EV for Free

If we get rid of CAFE standards across all lines then they can remove the AFM and the lifters will magically fix themselves.
Exactly. There’s a reason you still see early/ mid 2000’s Chevy trucks with the 5.3 v8 on the road today. They didn’t have AFM and they are damn good engines

Toyota got dragged for recalling (and fixing without debate) 100k vehicles. 6x as many 6.2L's were recalled but it's being blown out of proportion?

Can they put a 6 cyl in the midsize truck?

aren’t you the OT’s climate alarmist?
correct me if I’m wrong — you’re the expert here — but these V8’s are going to lead to the death of our planet and whatnot, right?

GM is talking about replacing this many engines.
As for the total units recalled in the U.S., the document breaks it down as follows:
Cadillac Escalade (79,747 vehicles)
Cadillac Escalade ESV (46,280 vehicles)
Chevy Silverado 1500 (107,244 vehicles)
Chevy Suburban (22,162 vehicles)
Chevy Tahoe (44,802 vehicles)
GMC Sierra 1500 (153,630 vehicles)
GMC Yukon (82,832 vehicles)
GMC Yukon XL (60,933 vehicles)
That’s 597,630 engines at $12,000 per engine. Thats over $7,000,000,000.

Neato.
Now do transmissions.

They’ll still never top the Coyote.

2.5 years ago my wife and I bought a new Buick Enclave to replace our 10 Enclave. We typically keep cars 10 years or more. The local GMC/Chevy dealers we buy our vehicle from are older brothers. When we bought the new Enclave, I told one of the brothers this would probably be the last ICE vehicle we'd be buying from them. He asked why and I told him we'd probably all be forced to transition to EV's by then. He said, "It would cost our business $500,000 to start selling and servicing EV's and we're not going to do that. GMC will always have an ICE vehicle although we might lose a Buick dealership if we don't carry Buick EV's." Beginning to look like he might be right after all.

Thank God!

What preventative maintenance do you perform and what parts have you changed out since 0 miles?

Looks like they are going to make engine bearings and parts New York again instead of Mexico. Lessons learned I guess.
They made the 6.0L, 6.6L and 5.3L crankshafts and blocks there in New York. The 2.7L Turbo is made in Tennessee. The 3.0L Duramax is made in Michigan. All of those engines solid. Maybe not 1990s Toyota but definitely very good by today’s standards.
The crappy 6.2L V8’s with all the out of spec bearings are made in Mexico, which is also subject to fun little tariffs right now.
IMO GM is shady AF for fixing this problem last year but not recalling until now. Notice they didn’t change the oil viscosity for the replaced engines or the brand new 2025 builds. Because sometime in summer 2024 they made a parts change for the bearings.
Rumor is the new V8’s may not be ready in time for the new 2027 Silverado. I hear they are going to offer an updated, higher output V8 with an optional forced induction model. They may go from 3 gas V8 options down to 2, with one having both naturally aspirated and forced induction options. They are not changing the 6.6L V8 at all which is a good thing. The 5.3L is probably the one getting updated with bigger power numbers.

No, they are not. That is the possible pool out of the 877,000 6.2L sold. It is a manufacturing defect and not a design flaw. If the engine is not showing signs of the issue, they are simply changing to a heavier oil. The heavier oil mitigates the cause.
Here is a good video describing it
