@49walker44 Well what a difference a year makes. Tesla keeps going backwards now even with lower prices. It isn't looking good for them if they don't update that 12 year old look. Getting stale. The Cybertruck will certainly help sales for now.
Nope I would not. Chrysler is doing the right thing here, wait has that ever been said before, the Hurrican inline 6 is the way to go. ZF transmission and an inline 6, if it turns out to be reliable, is going to be a great setup. I probably wouldn't be the first inline to own it though, let other people beta test it. The same goes for anything GM builds though, wait and see before you buy it, they don't have a great history of reliability.
Dealers can fix them bro it’s not big of the deal my GMC has a problem with the lifters and it’s was fixed and didn’t have again and I have over 106,000 miles running great

@@phileasler5401 electricity doesn’t work like that. They would have to revamp the whole power grid and that’s not cheap or fast at least 4-5 years of work
Im extremly disapointed in the 5.3 right now. My 2020 Silverado 5.3 has been at the dealer since Christmas over lifter issues. Just bring back the normal V8. No more dfm!!!
With 50,000 miles on my 2019 I’ve had no issues yet.but I’ve heard of some 2021 models having problems from new. I do always hit the start stop deactivate button every time I start it, it can’t be good for the engine I don’t care what they claim. it even shuts of at stops on a cold day when it’s half warmed up.
OMG! There's Hope yet. I've been an owner of 3 2500 trucks over the years. I still have two of them ones a 2011 2500 HD 4 x 4 Z71 and the other is a 2017 2500 HD 4X2. I almost gave up on the brand. So there's hope in the horizon and I'm going to give GM another chance. But even if the new V8 comes out in two years I'm going to probably will have to wait another year or two to see if there's no issues. But at least there's hope in the horizon. I will be waiting.
You can’t risk buying a the first year lol…. I feel ya . I have a 2014 Sierra….. it’s had every recall and common issue they are known for . I bet I’ve spent 10k in repairs since I’ve had it and I’m only at 135k miles . It’s scary
One thing I've learned in the last four decades is that when the Government says they're going to accomplish something "in the next 10 years", that really means "it'll never happen". Come 2035, there will still be plenty of gasoline vehicles for sale in the United States.

This is a tough call when it comes to pushrods. On one hand, pushrod engines have served GM well over the years. And pushrods are something GM knows very well. This gives GM a great incentive to keep on building pushrod engines. On the other hand, it is tougher to design and build a pushrod engine that simultaneously produces good performance while keeping emissions low. This is very likely one reason why the Z06 Vette went OHC. And the fact that they DID essentially build a whole new DOHC smallblock suggests that GM may have reached the end of the line in terms of what they can accomplish with pushrods. The LT6 could in fact be the first of the Gen VI engines. Of course, another possibility is an engine that could be either. This wouldn’t be terribly difficult to do, and would allow GM to use pushrods for lower power utilitarian-type engines (like trucks) while having the option for OHC in cars.
These dual drivlines are not working like intended. The electric motor has plenty of RELIABLE power and torque. A small Honda specifically wound minigen, built in, would provide an almost endless range.
EV's are all fine and dandy, but they just aren't practical for a large chunk of people to own one. Like me,I live a short distance from work, so I don't need to spend that much on gas. I also like to go wheelin up in the mountains. Probably not gonna take an EV up there, especially if it's cold. Those EV don't get the stated range in colder conditions. I saw a video where a guy went from Akron to Cleveland and back on a full charge when it was snowing outside. The battery was down to 45% by the time he got back. That's less than 100 miles. He didn't say how much he drove around Cleveland while he was there. Hey...You know where the best area to live in Cleveland is? Right in the middle. That way, any direction you go........you're leavin.🤣🤣
Interested to see what they can do to the 6.2L v8. Loving it in my new Sierra 1500 Denali. I'll be watching to see what the next generation refresh brings to the lineup before I go for a new truck. Hoping that they can give us at least a bit more HP while at least not making the fuel efficiency any lower. Increasing both would be a HUGE win.

Yeah, they can still produce ICE engines way past 2035 and still meet those zero-emissions targets thanks to the introduction of synthetic fuels that are made with renewable energy; because these fuels are used by converting carbon emissions into fuel, the burning of this fuel in ICE engines is thus considered zero emission for EPA purposes . As long as those engines run on these synthetic fuels they're good to go; since most (if not all) of GM's engines can already run on up to E85, it's not too much of a stretch to say they'll be designed to run on 100% renewables well before the deadline.
This is a reality moment for GM and I think most other car/truck manufacturers. Lately more and more of the short comings of EVs have been made public such as drastic reduced range when towing and in cold weather. Long charge times and high prices at fast chargers which still take far more time to recharge than people are use to compared to filling up current gas engine vehicles. I see the EVs currently on the market as throw away vehicles due to huge cost of replacing a spent or failed battery pack. Realistically I think the hybrids are a much better choice for reducing overall pollution. Hybrid batteries are much smaller and cheaper to replace. The engines in hybrids are very small and produce far less emissions, no charging stations are needed as the vehicle self charge. Hybrids are much easier to scale up or down to fit the variety needs that people and industry need without the restriction of pure electric vehicle. As time goes by pure electric may over come the draw backs. Time will tell.
THE LS A GENERIC FORD MOTOR. A REGURGITATED 427 FORD HIGHRISER ENGINE AKA 351 WINDSOR WITH RAISED PORTS. WHAT PATENTS OF FORD DESIGNS THAT HAVE RUN OUT. WILL GM COPY NEXT TO CREATE THE NEW V8 ENGINE.
For EVs, we need better Batteries and Graphene-Aluminum Batteries are already in development so we'll see these being a thing sometime. For ICE's, there's Microwave Spark Ignition and the benefits online show no emissions and they demonstrated Plasma Spark Ignition deal with emissions entirely or so it appeared when they turned on the plasma, want to see that explored.
They (GM/Ford) should develop PHEV Trucks/Cars. This way people can use the battery only to get to from work with say a 60 mile range and use gas when needed. Toyota is doing this which makes more sense than ALL electric cars/trucks.
This is Great News, Really Great News 👍 I am a Gas engine, preferably V-8 engine, Car guy…I currently own a pampered 2015 Silverado 4x4 LTZ Crew Cab, fully optioned, with the Awesome 6.2 V-8, along with a three year old Chevy Impala LTZ Premier, also 😢fully optioned, with the powerful, yet economical V-6, and a very low mileage 2002 Mercedes-Benz SL 500, which is the last year of the Bruno Sacco designed 129 Series, and yes, it was offered with either a gas powered V-8, or V-12 Powertrain…the V-12, was the SL 600. I share all this, because I/we prefer, and enjoy gas powered vehicles, and in the 1980’s we also enjoyed, and respected Mercedes-Benz diesel powered automobiles, the five cylinder series, to be exact. I, along with several folks I’ve spoken with the past year, have no want, of an EV car, truck or SUV, or a lawn tractor, for that matter…We all happen to feel, as you do, that 2035 may sound great, for politics, but most are thinking it will be more like 2050, with Gas engines still available, from Ford and GM, especially in SUV’s and Trucks. I want to Thank you for your most Informative videos, as a GM guy, who truly appreciates your keeping us, In the know, in a factual, entertaining format…Please keep up the Great work.
@@jeffmiller3150 First of all this article is about GM, but yes Toyota is experiencing problems with their 5.7 V8's , so yep even Toyota isn't as perfect & reliable as they used to be, still better than GM, Ford & Mopar though.
I prefer gas or diesel engines as they are tried and true power plants EV's and charging needs to be increased like to level 4 chargers with out any drop in charging or throttling of charging plus increase the range of the EV's
I think you are spot on! I think the corvette engineer said the new exhaust note from the flat plane crank will be debated for generations to come (you'd only say this if you are going all flat plane in trucks too). It will be like no other mass produced engine out there. We can only hope!
@@rollenbu I'm fairly certain the flat plane crank was necessary to get the magic intake manifold to work. Evens out the firing order. The VE at peak torque is 110%! Plus it sounds cool. Not sure they can get vibration under control enough for a truck motor to keep any of that.
@@johnnicol8598 Great points, that's why I thought they'd go flat plane for even trucks to keep it NA, the 110% VE at peak torque eliminates need for forced induction. It will be interesting to see what Gen 6 looks like, hopefully they can put some balancers on it and let it rip for truck duty. Still might be too much vibration though...so maybe it'll still be OHV. Can't wait to hear what they will come with.
If GM wants to turbo a 4 cylinder why not off turbo V6 and turbo V8 gas engines? The 2023 Colorado and Canyons only have turbo 4 cylinder gas engines so why not also offer a turbo V6 gas? Now that would be a beast
Yup. I know this is obviously a GM channel, but Ford did the same thing. Two brand new V8 power plants. These massive companies would not make these investments if they weren't in the know. Nothin' against EV's, but batteries are resource hogs and extremely heavy. I'm no engineer, but I'm certain something will come along that will be much more practical.
While this is interesting news it does not matter. All the auto makers are offering vehicles that are far too expensive. New trucks cost north of 30k for a base model, not in my driveway!!
Yes, it's good news! Environmentalists will continue to drive up the cost of petroleum, so we'll need better mileage. But electrical generation will take 30+ years to catch up WHEN the environmentalists stop blocking everything. So, you'll have a Catch-22 (as illustrated in California last summer): you must drive an EV but you're not allowed to charge them because it draws more power than the grid can deliver. So, the longer I can have a good ICE or hybrid the better off *I* will be.
Good news...but I am not a huge fan of GM and there decision making. I know they are extremely successful with the truck and SUV platform. But, They have missed the mark and opportunity on other platforms. Example, the Blazer. Using an iconic name for another cookie cutter SUV. While the Wrangler and the Bronco are slaying it. The other is the Impala SS. Being the owner of a 95 Impala SS with much disappointment after the 96 model. Hey GM...how bout an Impala SS on the Blackwing platform with a naturally aspirated V8? Missed that one too. You know, like how Dodge has been killing it for years now.
If you want to make the V-8 last forever then STOP LISTENING to the Oil Companies!!! Engines DO NOT REQUIRE large amounts of FUEL!!! By using a misting Carborator or fuel system that same engine can run even better than it would if it was dripping fuel from the tail pipes. Do the research folks. My dad was a Harley Mechanic and used to build his own carborators in his garage.
How in the hell is GM gonna make V8's that can beat tightening emissions and fuel consumptions standards? I mean they are having trouble now with lifters and other components. Ford as well for that matter. I predict years of pain if they stick with old-school V8's. I just don't see how this ends well.
If they think EV will take over they are nuts ! We can see the Country is not structured for and wishing it happen won't help. Like my dad used say ! Crap in one hand and wish in the other see what you get first.

As long as those engines run on these synthetic fuels they're good to go; since most (if not all) of GM's engines can already run on up to E85, it's not too much of a stretch to say they'll be designed to run on 100% renewables well before the deadline.
Long love the v8 ✊
Great news!!
Agreed with everything you said. GM may be walking back their 2035 ev deadline.
I have a feeling ICE trucks will be here for at least another 20 years.
@@BrianMello easily.
Awesome! I’d rather have a long range engine than a EV that takes forever to charge plus California often has power outages
I got my 6.2! When Brandon and cronies are gone, GM will have a go to engine.
I have questions. What's wrong with the LS? Is $850M+ a normal expenditure for development of an engine? Sounds like WAY too much to me.
Rather have a ford
@Ron Greene entirely irrelevant to this discussion of what GM is doing.
God bless Chevy and GMC.
This is a reality moment for GM and I think most other car/truck manufacturers. Lately more and more of the short comings of EVs have been made public such as drastic reduced range when towing and in cold weather. Long charge times and high prices at fast chargers which still take far more time to recharge than people are use to compared to filling up current gas engine vehicles.
I see the EVs currently on the market as throw away vehicles due to huge cost of replacing a spent or failed battery pack. Realistically I think the hybrids are a much better choice for reducing overall pollution. Hybrid batteries are much smaller and cheaper to replace. The engines in hybrids are very small and produce far less emissions, no charging stations are needed as the vehicle self charge. Hybrids are much easier to scale up or down to fit the variety needs that people and industry need without the restriction of pure electric vehicle. As time goes by pure electric may over come the draw backs. Time will tell.
Would love to see a duel injection fuel system on the next gen.
Injector in the manifold and head ?
Yes so would I. Direct injection and port injection. Ford does this and it keeps the intake valves nice and clean and improves gas mileage.
I guess this is what I will be buying when Jaguar stops making the 5 litre supercharged V8.
engine block + fresh steel = love
I hope this is good news for the Camaro and Corvette
Hopefully they’re be able to figure out how to run dual injection on more than just their LT5. Ford and Toyota figured it out years ago.
THE LS A GENERIC FORD MOTOR. A REGURGITATED 427 FORD HIGHRISER ENGINE AKA 351 WINDSOR WITH RAISED PORTS. WHAT PATENTS OF FORD DESIGNS THAT HAVE RUN OUT. WILL GM COPY NEXT TO CREATE THE NEW V8 ENGINE.
With the 2.7s numbers this thing should be pretty great on paper
For EVs, we need better Batteries and Graphene-Aluminum Batteries are already in development so we'll see these being a thing sometime.
For ICE's, there's Microwave Spark Ignition and the benefits online show no emissions and they demonstrated Plasma Spark Ignition deal with emissions entirely or so it appeared when they turned on the plasma, want to see that explored.
V-8 👍I love my 6.2 L AT4
They (GM/Ford) should develop PHEV Trucks/Cars. This way people can use the battery only to get to from work with say a 60 mile range and use gas when needed. Toyota is doing this which makes more sense than ALL electric cars/trucks.
Love my 6.2L Sierra
Thank goodness!
This is Great News, Really Great News 👍 I am a Gas engine, preferably V-8 engine, Car guy…I currently own a pampered 2015 Silverado 4x4 LTZ Crew Cab, fully optioned, with the Awesome 6.2 V-8, along with a three year old Chevy Impala LTZ Premier, also 😢fully optioned, with the powerful, yet economical V-6, and a very low mileage 2002 Mercedes-Benz SL 500, which is the last year of the Bruno Sacco designed 129 Series, and yes, it was offered with either a gas powered V-8, or V-12 Powertrain…the V-12, was the SL 600.
I share all this, because I/we prefer, and enjoy gas powered vehicles, and in the 1980’s we also enjoyed, and respected Mercedes-Benz diesel powered automobiles, the five cylinder series, to be exact. I, along with several folks I’ve spoken with the past year, have no want, of an EV car, truck or SUV, or a lawn tractor, for that matter…We all happen to feel, as you do, that 2035 may sound great, for politics, but most are thinking it will be more like 2050, with Gas engines still available, from Ford and GM, especially in SUV’s and Trucks.
I want to Thank you for your most Informative videos, as a GM guy, who truly appreciates your keeping us, In the know, in a factual, entertaining format…Please keep up the Great work.
PS: As long as GM builds Gas engines, We will continue to Buy them, especially models with that new small block V-8 👍
I know and its a shame Dodge is getting rid of the legendary Hemi V8s.
some hurricanes arrived at my ram dealer last week but no one had drove them yet still not a v-8
i am anti EV (like a lot of people lol) so im glad GM is facing reality and continuing to make what customers. long live v8s!
I'd really like to see a ~4.0L version of that inline 6 duramax too.
I think with today’s technology a small turbo 4.8 v8 would be a good choice. Preferably overhead cam.
The new Gen 6 engine is a DOHC with timing chain and cam phaser
Just more moving parts that will fail, and that's if they're assembled correctly in the first place too.
@@josephwiese1114 Do they fail on Toyotas???
@@jeffmiller3150 First of all this article is about GM, but yes Toyota is experiencing problems with their 5.7 V8's , so yep even Toyota isn't as perfect & reliable as they used to be, still better than GM, Ford & Mopar though.
@@josephwiese1114 What about American cars from the 50s, 60s, and early 70s?
@@josephwiese1114 Is it DOHC or pushrod?
I believe GM is already testing multiple V8 engines. Given past issues, class action suits, competition.
This is like a company introducing a "new and improved" horse shoe nail in 1910 just after Ford introduced the Model T.
EVs should be for daily’s and newer out of the box performance cars. But please keep v8s and base engines models for historical muscle cars
Please oh please up the power a LOT🤞🙏
I don't need to be greedy, 500hp N/A would be a lot of fun.
Of course you don’t lol you just go hop in the hummer for speed 😝
Love this channel, I'm a new subscriber ... suggestion: can you speak a bit slower? LOL
Smart move GM. Dodge stepped out of the ring, so dominate the market. Sign me up. I want one.
I prefer gas or diesel engines as they are tried and true power plants EV's and charging needs to be increased like to level 4 chargers with out any drop in charging or throttling of charging plus increase the range of the EV's
Glad to see V8s aren't dead yet.
Imagine going DOHC with that 5.3L and 6.2L🫡
They've already developed it. Expect a tamed down version if the DOHC LT6 engine that goes in the new Vette.
I think you are spot on! I think the corvette engineer said the new exhaust note from the flat plane crank will be debated for generations to come (you'd only say this if you are going all flat plane in trucks too). It will be like no other mass produced engine out there. We can only hope!
@@rollenbu I'm fairly certain the flat plane crank was necessary to get the magic intake manifold to work. Evens out the firing order. The VE at peak torque is 110%! Plus it sounds cool. Not sure they can get vibration under control enough for a truck motor to keep any of that.
@@johnnicol8598 Great points, that's why I thought they'd go flat plane for even trucks to keep it NA, the 110% VE at peak torque eliminates need for forced induction. It will be interesting to see what Gen 6 looks like, hopefully they can put some balancers on it and let it rip for truck duty. Still might be too much vibration though...so maybe it'll still be OHV. Can't wait to hear what they will come with.
@@rollenbu OHV would stay for sure. The rest all comes down to cost I suppose. Obviously titanium anything is a no.
I only stick to brands that are reliable,Nissan,Toyota,Honda,Suzuki,Izuzu.Mitubishi.
Good overview.
If GM wants to turbo a 4 cylinder why not off turbo V6 and turbo V8 gas engines? The 2023 Colorado and Canyons only have turbo 4 cylinder gas engines so why not also offer a turbo V6 gas? Now that would be a beast
Yup. I know this is obviously a GM channel, but Ford did the same thing. Two brand new V8 power plants. These massive companies would not make these investments if they weren't in the know. Nothin' against EV's, but batteries are resource hogs and extremely heavy. I'm no engineer, but I'm certain something will come along that will be much more practical.
I'm glad the V8 lives!!!!! S___ on electric cars!!!!!!!
I hope GM gets rid of the DOD s***
The grod can’t support Eva unless they upgrade the grid a very lot which won’t be done
While this is interesting news it does not matter. All the auto makers are offering vehicles that are far too expensive. New trucks cost north of 30k for a base model, not in my driveway!!
i hope they make the switch to 4 valves
But did they fix the lifter issues???
Over 110 years of building a v 8 and GM STILL has issues...
Not a very good track record...
Yes, it's good news! Environmentalists will continue to drive up the cost of petroleum, so we'll need better mileage. But electrical generation will take 30+ years to catch up WHEN the environmentalists stop blocking everything. So, you'll have a Catch-22 (as illustrated in California last summer): you must drive an EV but you're not allowed to charge them because it draws more power than the grid can deliver. So, the longer I can have a good ICE or hybrid the better off *I* will be.
There will be a Gen 7 V-8 long before it goes away.
Will we still be required to delete their afm/dod...
V8 ✊️
It's now April 2024: When will this engine be introduced?
All good.
Will GM step up and make a gas big block to compete with ford’s 7.3 in the trucks? And will the next gen small block be overhead cam? Hmmmm…
GM needs to bring back the mighty 454 to compete with the 7.3L Godzilla V8.
Good news...but I am not a huge fan of GM and there decision making. I know they are extremely successful with the truck and SUV platform. But, They have missed the mark and opportunity on other platforms. Example, the Blazer. Using an iconic name for another cookie cutter SUV. While the Wrangler and the Bronco are slaying it. The other is the Impala SS. Being the owner of a 95 Impala SS with much disappointment after the 96 model. Hey GM...how bout an Impala SS on the Blackwing platform with a naturally aspirated V8? Missed that one too. You know, like how Dodge has been killing it for years now.
And when it comes out, it’ll be made by mercury outboards.
An Inline 6 would be cool
im ok with EVs as another option for people but not a primary one. theres nothing wrong with offering both.
If you want to make the V-8 last forever then STOP LISTENING to the Oil Companies!!! Engines DO NOT REQUIRE large amounts of FUEL!!! By using a misting Carborator or fuel system that same engine can run even better than it would if it was dripping fuel from the tail pipes. Do the research folks. My dad was a Harley Mechanic and used to build his own carborators in his garage.
Ford will still be out pulling GM v8 with their v6 turbo engines.
They will probably run nitrogen fuel. Cummins is working on nitrogen engines that will run on almost any fuel.
For god sake put V8 engines in midsize trucks and I’ll buy one right now lol
I was hoping you would mention how the new engine is different. Technically speaking.
I will buy one
I would buy one.
they need to get at least 25 mpg highway
EV’s are years away from being practical. 🙂
How in the hell is GM gonna make V8's that can beat tightening emissions and fuel consumptions standards? I mean they are having trouble now with lifters and other components. Ford as well for that matter. I predict years of pain if they stick with old-school V8's. I just don't see how this ends well.
Do these engines utilize AFM?????????
If they think EV will take over they are nuts ! We can see the Country is not structured for and wishing it happen won't help. Like my dad used say ! Crap in one hand and wish in the other see what you get first.
Charge to fast you will burn up the batteries!
Hopefully they will abandon the AFM junk and make them more efficient with 25MPG city👍 35MPG highway!
