Just got scammed out of $16,500 while buying a 2012 toyota sequoia. The odometer rolled back and true mileage is 290k miles almost but odometer reads 115k miles. Full video here and read description and pinned comment on the video. th-cam.com/video/m64xFDMohWE/w-d-xo.htmlfeature=shared
If we collectively stop buying their inferior products, they’ll put less money into marketing, private jets, and yachts and more money into US and Canadian plants, parts, materials, and quality control. They might throw in a few new reliable food stamp sedans and hatchbacks with reliability that is actually competitive with Toyota. Offer Bose systems as standard on the highest trim level chevies even the cheapest models but would be 2 5-1/4 inch midbass drivers, 2 1-inch tweeters, 2 2.75-inch full range drivers, and a 5.25 inch richbass woofer, only 7 speakers but still sounds much better than the crappy AC Delco system.
@@davidperry4013 delco gm made nice sound systems. I don't know what kind you've seen lol But even the lowest models with only FM stereo and no cassette sounded really good. Nice sound system was always a strong selling point for all GM vehicles. Besides the PU trucks and vans of course, those sounded tinny. Mostly all the GM cars used 6X9" back deck and 4x6" for the dash speakers. Aside from from some Cadillac and olds and buick that used 4x10" in the rear deck.
@@thewiseguy3529 the older delco systems especially the symphony system in Buick GN and a few other models are pretty good. I’m referring the new delco systems that sound like a Bluetooth speaker in a bathtub instead of a pair bookshelf speakers.
My 2011 Explorer has just shy of 300k with nothing but an alternator and idler pulley fix. My f150 has 200k on it pulling a trailer pretty much everu day of its life and ive did nothing but a starter on it but it was sunk in a mudhole before i bought it. My focus has shy of 250k with nothing but a clutch replacement... they all make junk and some good ones but Ford has always took care of me and my family so I am sticking with them.
@buddyrich3875 You would be amazed how many of those miles are for church. Very very good investment! I have zero regret for not even 1 mile racked up by all my church trips. (Its been across 4 states to attend some services)
I have a 2003 Explorer with 182k. Only Replaced alternator, had 2 minor problems with plastic interior parts in the past year, and need to replace EGR soon. I got my money worth.
You not gonna have that Explorer much longer if you don't change that water pump and I stand on that firmly. I own a 14 and it definitely started leaking around 120,000 in Houston climate.
Nothing new for GM. In 1981, my dad bought a brand new Oldmobile Cutlass with the diesel engine. After it dropped its third torque converter in a year the dealer refused to fix it. Dad called GM in Detroit only to have them hang up on him. He traded it in for an '83 Mercury station wagon at a huge loss. That was the last GM vehicle he ever bought.
@@aaroncostello8812 right but I probably will get a 2021 and under tundra again or just change cam and lifters in this to Texas speed after warranty ends
Awesome. Yes the older vehicles were much more affordable & reliable. Newer vehicles are overrated and unreliable with a high price tag for the technology that destroys them. 💯
That's because you can't afford a new vehicle. $4000 was your budget. And buying a vehicle with 239K miles??? That's a risk that only a poor person would take. Not me. I would never buy any vehicle with more than a 100K these days
I’m sticking to my reliable 2015 Toyota Camry. The 2.5L NA 4 banger is a very simple reliable engine more reliable than a carbureted engine from the old days. I’d be more comfortable taking a 300,000 mile Toyota Camry on a cross country trip than a low mileage Chevy Silverado on a daily commute.
The problem is the low skill set at most dealerships. Problems happen, but inconvenience and for me the downtime without my work truck. It took 3 warrenty failures on my 6L80e before they fixed the cooling thermostat my transmission!
All manufacturers are having reliability issues. Cylinder shutdown engines are not as reliable. The auto manufacturers are dealing with the government mandated fuel mileage average. They are called CAFE standards. Corporate Average Fuel Economy. And they increase every single year
@@gregorylyon1004That’s good truths right there. Take that Government BS out, and it’ll be better again to an extent. Only other thing is vehicles today are like mini data enters, got computer modules and sensors all over the place. Only thing I can add is, my 2015 Camaro has been pretty good! I work IT now, but when I worked in construction, the 2017 Silverados they had in the fleet were pretty good! This truck is not necessarily bad, just needs someone to invest time and money in it. Problem with that is, manufacturers, warranties, and people alike would rather replace it than spend time and money correcting the issue. I feel confident with my personal GM dealer service department though, they’d try their best to get this thing resolved. I know all dealers aren’t like that however, across all brands.
@@jeffro221if you got a 07 or 08 6.0 engine in the next body style you would of been fine or the 6.2 from 09-13 also no afm the SUVs ( denali and Cadillac) 6.2 didn’t have afm from 07-09 it started in suvs 6.2 in 2010 … the gmt 900 trucks with 6.0/6.2 do not have afm they are l9h vin 2 engines my 10’ Sierra denali runs great and is the reason I’m scared to trade up to a newer one the next truck 14-18 all engines had afm and the 19 to present they switched to dfm a different version of afm… no thanks
my 2020 gmc sierra 5.3l has had no problems but it is used as a trip driver. Afm usually breaks when the lifter collapse and uncollapse real quick. Driving in the city is not very good because they go on and off a lot
I just had same work done to my 2021 Silverado 6.2 , it spun a lifter , bent the rod and chewed up the cam. I've been hearing alot of owners expressing the same thing and I thought i was the only one..
Yes it's awful. Glad u got it done. Mines was done last week but had to take it back due to idle issues and loud knocking sound on right side of engine. Smh.
Odo shows 37k....Seems GM vehicles are designed to fail after that bumper to bumper warranty ends.....I will never buy another GM vehicle...trade it in or make a lemon law claim and get yourself a '24 Nissan Titan
@@lmn222002 lol. It's got power train warranty until November. Engine was replaced but after warranty ends I will not purchase extended warranty and I will just put in a Texas speed cam and none DOD lifters and that's it
@@Standstrongzoneyep got to get that EPA garbage out of there. That’s what dealer is doing is putting that same stuff in there. If they sold a Texas Speed version of the truck, that would change things a bit more than likely.
The new body trucks are more comfortable for tall people but still have the stuck lifter issue. All you can do is change the oil every 5k and pray. The 6.2 seems to get more stuck than the 5.3. Transmission fluid every 50k.
5k max and if you live in cold weather or drive a lot of short trips, I would change it sooner than that. Direct injection is a big part of the problem these days. DI gas engines make soot that's more like diesel soot than the soot from an old gas engine. It sticks to parts inside the engine and the oil has a harder time preventing soot formations. Synthetic oils have the downside of forming deposits if the engine gets driven in cold weather for short distances where the engine doesn't get hot. Those deposits can build up and restrict oil flow as well. Despite all that, I know guys with over 200k miles that never had a lifter problem. They are the kind of guys that never bought into the idea that because you use full synthetic you're good for 7500 miles or even 5000 miles. They still change their oil like old timers every 2500 or 3000 miles. Gotta keep the oil clean.
Delete afm i did my 07 everything afm that was in n my motor is gone liftetd camshaft everything and it runs flawless doesn't burn a drop of oil either
@@tired_brickmason34 accord ain't a truck tho. Need truck. Got new engine and is running good for now. All newer vehicles have many issues these days nothing is the same as the older stuff
Too bad for you they are actually real carbon fiber pieces. Only pieces not real is the sticker on the center of steering wheel which is the smallest and is the bowtie I made myself. Make sure you are actually making a good joke when u make one. I got some extra pieces for a new Silverado if u got one
Finally got it back today with remanufactured engine. I'm going to see how it goes this time and if it goes out again soon, I will be pursuing action against Chevy about it thru lemon law
@Bigslim12 he traded his in so Chevy gave him $15,000.00 back. If he would have kept it he would have gotten back 37,000.00. And still had the truck. He didn't want to take a chance since the warranty was running out.
@@trollmode3863 that's insane. Three years is long. I would have definitely made them do more for that. So far I have gotten rental reimbursement. They still owe me $615 on its way for final rental reimbursement and then they gave me like 10,000 my Chevrolet points which I don't care for basically $100 value but the hassle it cause with the back to back breakdowns and being without my truck for two months interfere with a lot of things I'm doing to include moving etc. Also their me mechanic got in trouble for cutting off a new belt I had just put on as mentioned in this video. Smh. So they had to put a new AC Delco on it but I had a new thicker one on it. The engine is shaking a little and the mechanic drove it about 20 miles on his lunch break before I got it. I'm going to require Chevy to pay me a few thousand for the hassle this time once I send them my demands they ask me to send for inconvenience. I still don't trust the repair but will see. I have reinstalled the catch can and my wheels so let's see what happens. Meanwhile I'm preparing myself to get a 2021 tundra if this happens again.
Right they reimburse me for entire rental as of today and I'm in a free loaner now. New motor is in but not they have to figure out what has it idling bad and after that I will be good you are right. Got warranty until November so I will at least keep it until then at minimum because it's paid off and everything is so expensive these days. 💯💪🏽
@@Standstrongzone that’s crazy man, the workmanship just isn’t there with the new Gm trucks but beware, it isn’t just Gm, a family member bought a new aluminum body for pick up and the engine literally destroyed itself in less than a year, dealership claims casting sand was left in the block and the rest is history lol, I’m diehard Gm on the older Gm”s lol, my everyday for the past 6 years is an 02 ZR2 blazer with the 5speed manual, 200k and love the durability and simplicity of working on it.
@@jamiel3504 facts definitely. I agree. I use to work on cars and I told the dealership each time what was wrong with my car. Also had issues with my Camaro convertible 2ss.
@@Standstrongzone sounds like you got a good plan for the truck as far as parting with it, let someone else deal with the BS!! Best of luck with everything and thanks bro
see that toyota you panned the camera towards on the highway. trade it in for one of those. i used to be a chevy guy and i wont buy anything from them after 2000. ls motor was the worst engine they have even created.
@@MegaBenjamin he was saying that they were the worst in the past. Toyota definitely is reliable as long as you should the new tundras because the turbos and engines blow on them and I had one and my friend had one with too many engine issues and recalls. The best option if I sold my Chevy truck once I get it back would be a 2021 Toyota tundra and under with the 5.7 i force v8
@@MegaBenjamin yep I agree with u on that. I was agreeing with the Toyota part of his statement. They are rushing so much with these newer vehicles. I have worked on cars and trucks myself for years in the past and the newer stuff with all the technology is cool but the bad quality parts and Iack of craftsmanship, the focus has been out on making everything v6 or 4 cylinder turbo fuel efficient but the reliability is not there like the past. Chevy has had lifter issues since about 2007 but it's much worse now
It's a chevy bra....dodge, gm....all the same.... trash vehicles...... buy a toyota truck and have a happy life... you're welcome......chevy ain't paying you to be loyal to them!!!!!!!!
@@cedmc6711 facts I cane from a 07 tundra. Looks like I'm going back but the used market ain't the same. People are selling them way too high or either selling high mileage junk. The new tundras are trash but the 2021 and under are good. You are right about Chevy Dodge and gm
Yes the older ones way better. This dynamic fuel management and dod lifters are crappy. Brand new ones keep going out. Truck in shop still but I think they put new engine in yesterday and they probably testing everything before they call me to get it. It still can do the same thing with the new engine. The true fix is aftermarket lifters and cam and it will be reliable but it's a headache under warranty because they are only allowed to reinstall the same lifters that are prone to go out again at any moment
The government mandated all manufacturers to increase fuel mileage. That's why cylinder shutdown was invented as well as DOD. The new vehicles have start stop. And people think that we are driving junk right now??? Just wait till all vehicles have start stop, DOD and cylinder shutdown combined on every car and truck. LOL
Not a Ford guy and the new ones have their recalls and issues as well. I'm keeping this in one at least until warranty ends and then I will change the cam and lifters to aftermarket ones that won't fail.
I'm sorry for those who are buying the new Chevy Silverado trucks and are having to take them in for repairs. You can put the best technology you can into a new Chevy and I still won't buy one never ever ever because even the early 2000's and 10, 14 models suck. You cannot fix minor issues in the garage at home. I even got an obs 1990 Silverado and it just turned over 278k and still going but have another 5.7 for it all stock and ready to drop in and plug it in and fill up the fluids and bam it has a new motor.
Dam I used to have a 2021 with the 5.3 it got totalled it didn't have the stop and start on it dam it was a nice looking truck Ive herd there's only about 2 percent of those trucks with lifter failure so it's a small amount you just got unlucky every truck manufacturer has their problems I hope the dealer does right by you that truck is a lemon. Also I went ahead and bought a new 2023 5.3 is a nice truck also 6500 miles since buying it new so far so good.
@@phototac9287 thanks and yes they are some of the best looking trucks out there. The lifter issue has been a pristine early 2007 with Chevrolet and it's actually extremely common failure and made even worse due to quality of parts made during and after covid. There have been many people I know that have these same issues with less than 1k miles and some within the first 5k miles. The ones who don't have an issue ever are extremely lucky because it is almost guaranteed that they will go out at some point. I'm still going to keep it due to the market and plus like you said, every car make and model have their own problems so I'm sticking with mines. This time they are still waiting on engine replacement back. I been renting a car for $410 a week for almost two months already and they still don't have an ETA on shipping of engine to them . Enjoy that new truck you git
@@DualKalibur CDJR has gone to shit since Stellantis. UNion workers claiming they're being given sub-par parts, short electrical cables that don't seat, bad computers from assembly. A few days ago a 9 day owned 2500 shifted itself into reverse oat highway speed, not the driver, the truck itself, and the driver lost control right into a pole.
Yep! 2001 Ford Ranger daily drive for the last 5 years. Left me stranded once with a bad starter. The kicker.... One payment of 2500.00 and the title was mine.
Sorry to hear about your junk Chevy, I used to be nothing but a Chevy man but a few years I finally had enough, the one I had I thought it was just a coincidence that everything went wrong with it, so I lost my ass on it to get rid of it and bought a nother one. That one was worse and gm told me we'll its just a bad design and basically told me to get lost. So today I drive a F150 Lariat that I love and smile every time I drive it. Never again gm junk.
I don't blame u. This is my last shot as I'm tired of it being in service more than home. I got rid of Camaro 2ss and this will be my last one. My wife has a 2014 Malibu and it's good with no issues. If I get any other issues before warranty ends I will take it right back to them and the it will be sold after that
@@Standstrongzonejust wait til you get a no communication with tcm code with that malibu. Transmission will be stuck in third gear. My friend goes to the auction with me and he gets alot of those in. He have bad luck all the time with them. Mostly dealing with transmission. Better put your wife in a toyota before the problems start.
Everyone gotta have that new junk , meanwhile I’m loving my 2006, 2005, 2004 and my 1994 6.0 turbo Silverado . 2007 up I’m not having anything to do with it.
We jabe a 2007Tahoe with 195000 miles. I added a deal you plug into the obd2 port and leave in. It keeps it in V8 mode 100% of the time. Have been using that for nearly 100k miles. The motor runs perfectly.
@@gregorylyon1004 you also have only AFM which is different from dfm in newer vehicles. your truck will only shutdown 4 cylinders but 2019 and up can shutdown any combination up to 7 cylinders. Big difference and also after covid parts were not correctly heat treated. Also starting 07 Chevy started having lifter issues so maybe you are the lucky few but I know people that get these brand new and still have issues.
Meanwhile that flashing check engine light means damage to catalytic converter. Misfiring cylinder is dumping raw fuel into exhaust and will cook the catalytic converter. They don't need just to replace lifters, that sounds like it needs a whole new engine.
My 02 Silverado that I bought new check engine light has never came on once, it has the 4.8 liter V8 I’ll never sell my truck, my new Colorado Trail Boss CE light came on at 300 miles! 😢
@@tripac3392 nope I have a zl1 and I had a 2ss Camaro 6th gen and they are not flawless but anywhere near because the automatic ones have this issue as well and the manual ones have detective shifting forks in the tremec
My folks brought a Sequoia brand new in 2010; that thing has since travelled across west to east coast and back, and even up in Canada on top of being a daily, and that old tank has never had a major problem. Crossing my fingers it won’t have one for another 14 years 🤣
@derrickwilliams2268 not true, I have a 2012 ranger rover evoque, at over 12 years old it's still going strong, never had any issues. Bought a brand new 2020 Landrover Defender when they came out, it now has 86k miles on it, and I've made no trips to the shop. All three of my Chevy that I owned had the same issue, and yes they were 2017 year model and up.
Most of the problems is the EPA are inforcing such strict regulations on auto manufacturers that they are forced to design things to meet fuel economy but the advancements usually fail because it's to complicated....
Chevrolet has been Chinese owned since 2008 and they will never be the same I own a automobile shop and work on them every day they are junk for what they cost and it’s sad
Dude not trying to sound bad or anything, but after gm went bankrupt in 2008. There quality control went down the drain. Get a f150, or Toyota. Gm ain't no good no more.
Facts but all automakers are having issues these days. New tundras are no good only the 21 and under are any good and does have over half million major recalls on trucks. I will just keep my current problem and make it reliable as possible by aftermarket cam and lifters after warranty ends. Going to just ride this new engine meanwhile
Toyota tundra pickups are blowing up engines left and right. 2022 and newer. I've seen Toyota Camrys with blown transmissions at less than 50K miles today.
@@gregorylyon1004worked at a Toyota dealer service department for a few months in 2016. I’m not going to say Toyotas are bad, but it’s just not the remedy I would think people look for. I own a 2015 Camaro. Between my own experience and the work experience, don’t see much of a difference really. I’m sure the same observation would exist today. I would expect a Toyota dealer to only do maintenance things from what you hear. Nope, walked back there in the shop, they had engines torn down, transmissions being replaced, interiors fully stripped to change evaporator cores, etc.
Back in 2015 I was shopping around for a new truck. I had my heart set on a brand new Silverado.....however there was a Ford dealership right across the street and I decided to see what they have to offer.....I was never a Ford guy.....I ended up buying an XL F150 with a Sport package and basic 3.5 non ecoboost V6....for $25K...they gave me every single discount they could.....fast forward to 2024 and that F150 now has over 200K miles.....I never had any issues with it....not a one single check engine light...Everything on this truck works as it should. Interior is still holding up, no weird rattles and shakes......So glad I decided to give Ford a chance....about to get me a new F150 and pass old one to my 15 year old....
Very nice. Be careful the newer stuff during and after covid are very different. Ford has tons of issues with new trucks just like Chevy despite good maintenance the quality and craftsmanship is not there anymore with any of these brands. A person just has to pick the issue they are willing to deal with. Also Ford just recalled over half a million trucks due to major issues of them randomly shifting back to first gear on their own while driving. I'm glad you had that much good out if that 2015
slims right I would be careful with the new f150 they also have issues with the timing chain phaser issue . rattle in startup with the vehicle sitting overnight . they designed new phasers issues with the turbos the valve covers cracking and leaking oil the classic plastic oil pan that leaks time and time again . I would look go to ford tech makuloko channel and get up to date on all The issues them new f150s have before you put your hard earned money down on it brother
Im a car dealer and i still drive an 2008 Yukon Denali because its been so reliable and im afraid of upgrading and dealing with issues like this. I travel too much to have things like this slow me down. Why should i have to buy i new truck then spend $1200 on an afm delete kit and tune just to have it reliable?😂😂. I see alot of junk at the auction and most new vehicles are junk. From the factory junk. I dont even have brand loyalty anymore lol
@@jairox75 the engine light stays flashing. Not about to pull over and stop every time a lifter fails. That's what warranty is for as long as it can still drive I'm getting it to the shop

I learned about chevy in 1980 with a Citation. God what a piece of junk. I was young and desperate. It depreciated faster than I could make payments on it.
Ever since Covid, it seems these vendors that make these parts for the automakers just aren't held to a very high standard. Everything is cheap, cheap, cheap, & cost more, more, more, and I'm damn tired of it
That's exactly the issue. Bad issues made worse after covid. Lifters and parts not being appropriately heat treated etc. They claim the parts in my new engine received much better quality and heat treated correctly but the technology of the dod and dynamic fuel management lifters are still an issue. Everything is cheap and cost more just like you said.
Just came back from videos about all the Toyota& Lexus recalls, component failures at low mileages.. Almost made me look at my 5.7 Hemi and smile but I know it isn't far down the breakdown list either. Looks like the automobile industry is really in a dark place, and reliability isn't something we would get anytime soon.
Bummer that's happening to you Slim. My 2013 had the lifters and cam shafts go out and did the same thing. Get rid of it and get a second gen Tundra. You'll be glad you did.
I still have a 2000 Chevy Silverado 2002 Buick LeSabre 2003 Buick LeSabre and I wouldn’t buy one of these new pieces of crap if they offered it to me for half off plus an extra $5000 Jerry Mcdonogh
Why don’t they replace the faulty engine design with a previous one that doesn’t do this, or build it the right way before it leaves the factory to begin with
Lol I don't tow anything over couple thousand pounds. Duramax I was going to get but I only got this one because it came from an older guy. I had a older tundra that I only sold for home purchase but this Chevy now has a new engine and when it goes out I will get it replaced again and after warranty I will put a cam in it and none DOD lifters. No lesson learned I'm a mechanic and was well aware of these issues. Not my first rodeo
I have a 2004 Silverado stepside extended cab with the 4.8 LS and with over 148,000 and have never had an engine issue! Newer model trucks are super expensive JUNK!
If you like GM the Duramax engine for the 1500s and Tahoe is amazing 55,000 miles. No failure seen all sorts of failure with the Motors that are gas excellent fuel mileage to
Sorry to hear about this truck. I have all old cars but one and a it’s a 2021. Very new to me. I hope it will last but I have a feeling my old ones will still be going after the new one has problems. Cars are much safer than they used to be but a lot of build quality has gone to the dogs. It seems that the newer domestics are junk with a huge price tag. It’s a shame people work so hard to afford high car payments and end up with burdens. The car manufacturers should pay.

That's because you can't afford a new vehicle. $4000 was your budget. And buying a vehicle with 239K miles??? That's a risk that only a poor person would take. Not me. I would never buy any vehicle with more than a 100K these days
@@twobeagles1365 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Went to dealerships on 3 occasions and decided to keep my 2008 !! Jack
I’m sticking to my reliable 2015 Toyota Camry. The 2.5L NA 4 banger is a very simple reliable engine more reliable than a carbureted engine from the old days. I’d be more comfortable taking a 300,000 mile Toyota Camry on a cross country trip than a low mileage Chevy Silverado on a daily commute.
My 96 Tacoma that I purchased new in Nov of 95 for $25k is running just fine at 300,000 miles.
The problem is the low skill set at most dealerships. Problems happen, but inconvenience and for me the downtime without my work truck.
It took 3 warrenty failures on my 6L80e before they fixed the cooling thermostat my transmission!
Exactly how I be feeling. Well said truth
The past 20 years GM has been in a free fall for reliability.
My '06 Silverado with 5.3L has been very good. I guess I got lucky buying it before AFM started in '07.
Yep, after 2003 it is like a throw of a pair of dice, good luck !
All manufacturers are having reliability issues. Cylinder shutdown engines are not as reliable. The auto manufacturers are dealing with the government mandated fuel mileage average. They are called CAFE standards. Corporate Average Fuel Economy. And they increase every single year
@@gregorylyon1004That’s good truths right there. Take that Government BS out, and it’ll be better again to an extent. Only other thing is vehicles today are like mini data enters, got computer modules and sensors all over the place. Only thing I can add is, my 2015 Camaro has been pretty good! I work IT now, but when I worked in construction, the 2017 Silverados they had in the fleet were pretty good! This truck is not necessarily bad, just needs someone to invest time and money in it. Problem with that is, manufacturers, warranties, and people alike would rather replace it than spend time and money correcting the issue. I feel confident with my personal GM dealer service department though, they’d try their best to get this thing resolved. I know all dealers aren’t like that however, across all brands.
@@jeffro221if you got a 07 or 08 6.0 engine in the next body style you would of been fine or the 6.2 from 09-13 also no afm the SUVs ( denali and Cadillac) 6.2 didn’t have afm from 07-09 it started in suvs 6.2 in 2010 … the gmt 900 trucks with 6.0/6.2 do not have afm they are l9h vin 2 engines my 10’ Sierra denali runs great and is the reason I’m scared to trade up to a newer one the next truck 14-18 all engines had afm and the 19 to present they switched to dfm a different version of afm… no thanks
my 2020 gmc sierra 5.3l has had no problems but it is used as a trip driver. Afm usually breaks when the lifter collapse and uncollapse real quick. Driving in the city is not very good because they go on and off a lot
Well you could just go with a F-word but you'll just end up with different problems. LOL!!

Old Chevrolet trucks before afm are good trucls
I just had same work done to my 2021 Silverado 6.2 , it spun a lifter , bent the rod and chewed up the cam. I've been hearing alot of owners expressing the same thing and I thought i was the only one..
Yes it's awful. Glad u got it done. Mines was done last week but had to take it back due to idle issues and loud knocking sound on right side of engine. Smh.

@@Standstrongzoneyep got to get that EPA garbage out of there. That’s what dealer is doing is putting that same stuff in there. If they sold a Texas Speed version of the truck, that would change things a bit more than likely.
@@laxbeach2381 facts
The new body trucks are more comfortable for tall people but still have the stuck lifter issue. All you can do is change the oil every 5k and pray. The 6.2 seems to get more stuck than the 5.3. Transmission fluid every 50k.
Very true because I'm 6ft 6. I agree because it's gonna be issues regardless because some tear up with no miles on it
5k max and if you live in cold weather or drive a lot of short trips, I would change it sooner than that. Direct injection is a big part of the problem these days. DI gas engines make soot that's more like diesel soot than the soot from an old gas engine. It sticks to parts inside the engine and the oil has a harder time preventing soot formations. Synthetic oils have the downside of forming deposits if the engine gets driven in cold weather for short distances where the engine doesn't get hot. Those deposits can build up and restrict oil flow as well. Despite all that, I know guys with over 200k miles that never had a lifter problem. They are the kind of guys that never bought into the idea that because you use full synthetic you're good for 7500 miles or even 5000 miles. They still change their oil like old timers every 2500 or 3000 miles. Gotta keep the oil clean.
Dealer will tell you it’s NORMAL. You need to buy an abnormal Toyota
Pfff… Even Toyota is now having quality issues, thanks to the new engines and transmissions. Get a 2022 and so prior model to save headaches.

Too bad for you they are actually real carbon fiber pieces. Only pieces not real is the sticker on the center of steering wheel which is the smallest and is the bowtie I made myself.

@Bigslim12 he traded his in so Chevy gave him $15,000.00 back. If he would have kept it he would have gotten back 37,000.00. And still had the truck. He didn't want to take a chance since the warranty was running out.
@@trollmode3863 that's insane. Three years is long. I would have definitely made them do more for that. So far I have gotten rental reimbursement. They still owe me $615 on its way for final rental reimbursement and then they gave me like 10,000 my Chevrolet points which I don't care for basically $100 value but the hassle it cause with the back to back breakdowns and being without my truck for two months interfere with a lot of things I'm doing to include moving etc. Also their me mechanic got in trouble for cutting off a new belt I had just put on as mentioned in this video. Smh. So they had to put a new AC Delco on it but I had a new thicker one on it. The engine is shaking a little and the mechanic drove it about 20 miles on his lunch break before I got it. I'm going to require Chevy to pay me a few thousand for the hassle this time once I send them my demands they ask me to send for inconvenience. I still don't trust the repair but will see. I have reinstalled the catch can and my wheels so let's see what happens. Meanwhile I'm preparing myself to get a 2021 tundra if this happens again.

Well, it is a chevy after all !!!
What did they do to the 5.3 smh, the earlier ones are prolly the greatest engines ever imo
Yes the older ones way better. This dynamic fuel management and dod lifters are crappy. Brand new ones keep going out. Truck in shop still but I think they put new engine in yesterday and they probably testing everything before they call me to get it. It still can do the same thing with the new engine. The true fix is aftermarket lifters and cam and it will be reliable but it's a headache under warranty because they are only allowed to reinstall the same lifters that are prone to go out again at any moment
The government mandated all manufacturers to increase fuel mileage. That's why cylinder shutdown was invented as well as DOD. The new vehicles have start stop. And people think that we are driving junk right now??? Just wait till all vehicles have start stop, DOD and cylinder shutdown combined on every car and truck. LOL

Gm is garbage don't waste your money an time....get honda or Toyota better made vehicles

@@phototac9287 thanks and yes they are some of the best looking trucks out there. The lifter issue has been a pristine early 2007 with Chevrolet and it's actually extremely common failure and made even worse due to quality of parts made during and after covid.

The ones who don't have an issue ever are extremely lucky because it is almost guaranteed that they will go out at some point.

Ford has tons of issues with new trucks just like Chevy despite good maintenance the quality and craftsmanship is not there anymore with any of these brands. A person just has to pick the issue they are willing to deal with. Also Ford just recalled over half a million trucks due to major issues of them randomly shifting back to first gear on their own while driving. I'm glad you had that much good out if that 2015

Why don’t they replace the faulty engine design with a previous one that doesn’t do this, or build it the right way before it leaves the factory to begin with
Exactly and they were aware they just didn't care too and still producing it this way
I now have a new engine and it has a knock to it
Buy another one...
Lesson learned, buy the duramax next time!
Lol I don't tow anything over couple thousand pounds. Duramax I was going to get but I only got this one because it came from an older guy. I had a older tundra that I only sold for home purchase but this Chevy now has a new engine and when it goes out I will get it replaced again and after warranty I will put a cam in it and none DOD lifters. No lesson learned I'm a mechanic and was well aware of these issues. Not my first rodeo
I have a 2004 Silverado stepside extended cab with the 4.8 LS and with over 148,000 and have never had an engine issue! Newer model trucks are super expensive JUNK!
If you like GM the Duramax engine for the 1500s and Tahoe is amazing 55,000 miles. No failure seen all sorts of failure with the Motors that are gas excellent fuel mileage to
Sounds like a rod knock
@@darrininverarity4297 even worse, the new engine has rod knocks as well. This noise in this video was failed lifters that broke the cam. Smh
i’ll keep my 2013 hd2500 gas 6.0 4x4 with 225,000 miles !!! all these newer trucks are garbage & way overpriced
Yeah. But your gas mileage is shit on a 6 litre. 10 MPG tops.
@@gregorylyon1004 , and don’t forget, i don’t have a 900 or 1000 dollar payment either !!! maintain well & repair when needed !! Still Money Ahead
Never trust a company that can't balance a checking account.
Sorry to hear about this truck. I have all old cars but one and a it’s a 2021. Very new to me. I hope it will last but I have a feeling my old ones will still be going after the new one has problems. Cars are much safer than they used to be but a lot of build quality has gone to the dogs. It seems that the newer domestics are junk with a huge price tag. It’s a shame people work so hard to afford high car payments and end up with burdens. The car manufacturers should pay.
Very well said. That is exactly why I'm keeping it and not buying a newer problem than the ones I already have.
I thought dodge was the only one having lifter problems
Nope.
I think GM's lifter problems might actually be worse.
Dodges lifter problem is mainly to mds lifters ..upgraded oil pump really helps it out
