Lots of interesting news today


This could be really bad for him and resale for anyone wanting to dump their 6.2
chevy has gone down hill pretty bad.
their transmission at least on the eco diesels is shit and they cant replace them because there arent any avaliable to replace. i know of 3 different guys with them with bad/slipping transmissions and chevy said they wont even look at them until they are completely out

7000 of out 600000? Seems like there are plenty of engines through the years that have been worse. Who did GM forget to bribe in Washington?

I maintain that the problem is that crappy plastic media filter, it clogs really early and if not replaced regularly the line pressure drops enough to let things start to go, first being the lockup clutch on the torque converter. I had my 2014 flushed three times; the dealership would never replace the filter. ~146k it started slipping, I changed the filter and it mostly went back to normal but the lockup clutch would never work right a low load highway speed. Tow/haul mode resolved that until I turned that truck in (company lease) at about 160k.

Yeah but GM is the one who reported it "GM itself has reported that it has received 6953 complaints" These motors are experiencing super high failure rate and the 6.6 gasser has issues too. It used to be that when a manufacturer had issues it got straightened out at least by the next model year but GM has doubled down on the motors with these issues. Crazy!
 
why such big engines in maily half ton trucks? I thought the big push these days was MPGs?

a 4.8 or 5.3 won't get the golf clubs to the course?
maybe 1% would pull 10k lbs behind their DD 1500?
I fail to see how a 2004 design 5.3 with a modern 8 speed behind it would not meet most people's wants and needs and get 20+mpg on the hiway
