The new 6.2 has DFM (Dynamic Fuel Management) lifters. They are controlled by the VLOM (valve lifter oil manifold). The old AFM system allowed the vehicle to switch from v8 to v4 mode when proper conditions allowed it to do so. The new DFM system allows the vehicle to operate with whatever combination the ECM deems most efficient and necessary. Whether thats V8, V7, V6.. all the way down to 1 cylinder firing. The issue with these systems, new and old, is that GM is sourcing very cheap components to facilitate the operation of these very complex and advanced systems. I'm surprised there has not been a lawsuit filed.
Haha I’m thinking you need n engine buddy!!!!! You bent something same thing happened to my GMC Sierra 6.2 l… and they know the truck will live till warranty ends… I don’t know how they do it but there just taking our money.
It just happened to me when I was exiting off an interstate coasting down hill, maybe 35mph. Left me stranded too, couldn't even put it in neutral to move out of traffic. Towed to dealer and was told engine needs replaced. Blamed me for following manufacturer recommended service program. I was told I need to service it every 5k miles not the 7.5k MyChevy App, the dealer and chevy says. So a little dirty oil locked up the motor? Head mechanic said not to worry, his mechanic takes care of this all the time. Why didn't the sales person tell me that? I just rolled 20k miles on my 10 month old 2023 Silverado zr2. Should've gotten the Toyota or Ford. I'm not feeling confident about this $70k+ chevy truck. My first chevy truck. Ugh, should've listened to friends and avoided GM.
My 2014 silverado 5.3 has no problems. Just hit 123,068 and no problems yet. Better to have old than new. I thought about getting the 6.2 but heard nothing but problems with it. I'll stick with my 5.3.

Got treated the same way with my 2016 Z71 Silverado. I got the 8 speed transmission and it decides to shift really hard at random times.

No other complaints, my 5.3 has been solid.
@@ethan2k206 Sorry to hear that. I had a V6 manual 2002 Camaro and 2nd gear went out in it at 39k miles, 3k after the warranty. Got it fixed and put almost 200k miles on it before I traded it for my truck.
@ethan2k206 my trans went at 138,000 in rush hour in middle lane of freeway (that was fun) I did the AFM delete and no problems at all with the 5.3 and pushing 170,000
I’m great full that all of my 6.2s have not had these issues. Currently have 2 have had at least 8 other 6.2s with no issues. I have read about the lifter issues. Goodluck.
Never was a Chevy person until November 2020 when traded a new piece of junk 2020 Explorer Limited for a new 2020 Silverado 1500 RST Z-71 Black 5.3 and I love it. I have an assigned work vehicle so don’t drive it every day and we just got back from beach last Friday and now it has 14,000 plus miles on it. Had second service done at 10,000 miles at dealership and at 10,300 it dropped a lifted. Still would start and run but missed a lot. Tow and repair completely covered under warranty and they had it done within a week including weekend. Had it repaired same day parts came in and they replaced entire bank where lifter problems was. Even with that issue I still love my truck.
Wow, Rip Zr2. I got a 21 trailboss with 20,000 miles no issues yet, knock on wood. Beautiful truck by the way. When it gets fixed it will be Beautiful again.
Mine died too! I went and got a RAM and it has been Solid as a Rock!!! Love this new truck. Has a panoramic sunroof and a real flat floor which I wanted and GM didn't have. Hope it works out for you bro.
We had a 17 Silverado 5.3L with around 100,000km (62,000mi) and coming home one day the engine light started flashing so we pull over, turned it off the on again, code went away, normal operation so we got it to the Chevy dealer and when this happened we had it 8 months...so we got it looked at and it was saying multiple cylinder misfire, ALL the tests they did came back normal, so had to fork out 700 bucks for that, 3 weeks later...same issue!!!!! So I got it towed to another dealer and this time it was saying that the multiple cylinder misfire was double from before so they did more testing and....yet again another 500 bucks for nothing...so we had the truck for just under 2 years and traded it for a 21 Classic Ram 5.7 brand new and got 5k more than what we paid for the Silverado
Hopefully GM can warranty it. If they do, let's hope they don't find your channel and say you're at fault for the issue because of what the truck has been through lol.
I love the look of Chevy trucks. I just can't get passed the lack of quality in modern GM vehicles. I know soooo many people with Chevy Trucks and many with Cadillacs that have all sorts of problems. I went with a 2021 Tundra TRD Pro. It doesn't have the tech you'd like to see but I have yet to have a single issue with it.
Idk why cars can be so strange, my grandpa has owned chevys and gms all his life pretty much and they’ve been reliable as hell, so it’s just kind of a one of one thing for your zr2 Silverado breaking down
I'm not a chevy guy, but people talk shit about ford all the time. I've NEVER been left on the side of the road in my car. Now it doesn't have A/C right now because the compressor won't... well.. compress air, but it's still going, and the only thing's i've replaced on it before 100k were the alternator and water pump. things that commonly go out on all cars. A/C Compressors are common to go out as well, but that's all cars as well. I would hope they warranty the engine because it's clearly a warranty issue, maybe the computer, maybe a chewed wire somewhere, who knows until it's diagnosed. Hopefully it's not too bad and it can be brought back asap. It would be neat to see a supercharged truck since chevy is very unlikely to even do one... they'd have to maybe put the ZL1 supercharger on the truck I think (still same engine... should fit right?!). Anyway, I would maybe look for an older chevy truck to beat on, I think lots of people enjoy those kinds of projects too.
Sounds like you dropped a lifter that bent and push rod that locked up the motor. The manufacturer of the lifters that GM has been using is a known problem. It would be my guess that is what happened. If you keep that bad boy get a system that shuts of the cylinder deactivation helps them last longer, or pay to have normal ones put in and get the truck turned. RIP
@@lespaulplayer1234512 I have a 2020 Z71 with the 5.3 that as soon as the warranty is up I will be pulling it apart and putting new lifters and a cam in it too. Now that is done your motor should go for a really long time now.
@@scottdisch687 hope so man. I’ve got 165k on it and never had a lifter tick before I did but went ahead and did it anyways. Also put 4.56 gears in it but now I’m having to go to 4.11’s I think the aggresive gears caused a driveshaft vibration.
I'm not 100% sure, but I don't think the 6.2 has cylinder deactivation... it would still be the same shitty lifters though... I know for a fact that the gasser 2500's don't have AFM OR DOD, whichever it is... not too sure on the 2022's or the 1500's
I had the same issue and it was the main wiring harness that plugs in right by the air box. It gets stretched out by the driver side wheel. Easy fix myself.
Gee..... you don't think that maybe jumping ramps and running through 3' of water might have caused his harness to wiggle loose like yours did, do ya? 😆 🤣 😂 that sounds like a great place to start, for sure
Honestly I don’t know about modern day Chevy anymore, I would say 2000s Chevys were pretty reliable, my dad had a 2005 suburban, started having (small) issues, nothing major but it was just starting to get pretty expensive (at least I believe it was getting expensive) around 200k-250k miles, we traded it in for a Kia Sorento, it been pretty good the past like 2-3 years
@@B3nluke been a chevy guy my entire life. I drive a ram now LOL. Do regular maintenance and dont idle for long periods and the hemi is a great motor. Over 115k now no issues.
@@XDM10 yeah, ik people talk crap about rams and their reliability but I feel like ram and ford are the most reliable out of the big 3, ik my grandpa has a 4th Gen ram 1500 and I don’t think it had many issues, if he ever wants to sell that truck I might buy it from him
There is a class action suit over the afm/dod issues on GM trucks. Most of the issues are with the 6.2L but the 5.3L has had issues as well. The newer AFM system seems to be more troublesome the the older DOD system. RAM runs a very similar system on their trucks also with most problems with the 5.7L hemi. The TRX doesn't use the system. Hope it is an easy, quick fix for you.
I just traded in a 2018 LTZ for a 2022 High Country. The High Country has an AFM delete listed on the MSRP. I put a delete dongle that I still have on my 2018. I was gonna use my old dongle but was glad to see the AFM delete on the build sheet. Both were 5.3's.
@@DLTJR1959 Good deal. Better off without it. I think I remember looking not long ago the you could get the afm delete option on 5.3s with the 8 speed transmission but not with the 10 speed auto or with the 6.2l period.
Frustrating, to say the least. I had a similar experience - I bought a new Ford F-150 with the V-6 Ecoboost engine a few years ago. Under 20k miles, the engine started billowing thick, white/blueish smoke from the tailpipe, accompanied by a metal on metal grinding sound in the engine when I accelerated. Read online that many were seeing the same issues. I didn't even try to resolve or investigate further, I took it straight to the dealer and traded it for a Toyota. I'd driven Toyotas my entire life, had decided to try one of these F-150's I'd heard so much about over the years because the mpg on the Ford ecoboost was so much better than Tundra. And the thing was a piece of junk. It's ridiculous to spend that much money on a vehicle and have problems right out the gate. The Tundra is awful on mpg, and the Tacoma is a bit small, but they just run. Chevy, Ford, GMC, all have some good looking trucks but I don't trust them to make a reliable product.
Just get a square body chevy with a new motor. Values are going up on them and you can never go wrong with a square body chevy. They are easy to fix as well
I have a new Chevy… can’t wait to get rid of it. Problem after problem. Just had the AC compressor blow out, and took the condenser along with it was my latest prob.
That's crazy that a brand new truck with only 4k miles GM has become the joke of the automobile industry. They've gone woke their CEO is a sellout to the government. I've lost all respect for GM. Ever since Mary Barra took over GM has gone downhill real quick. At this point I'd rather take a Ford or Toyota over GM any day. In fact my first 1500 truck will probably be a Ram 1500.
Just a nice truck but it seemed That your experience with your new truck is not suited for your satisfaction and the dealer is not cooperative in warranty
Man I just want you to know I love to see content on the Zr2, the offroad videos are the best. It's the whole reason I came to this channel. I don't mind it if you sell the Silverado, the taco seems pretty cool, but I would love to see another Colorado Zr2 in the future, maybe the bison?
Get a Toyota Tacoma or Tundra TRD Pro. Won't leave you stranded and will spank any Chevy truck. I used to be diehard Chevy, but just realized the only thing diehard was the breakdowns and excessive maintenance.
@@hotrod7603 you realize you are commenting on a video about a brand new Chevy breaking down right?! I've had 2 Tundras and 1 Tacoma and have had absolutely ZERO issues. I've had Chevy and Ram...plagued with issues with less than 20k miles on them! Try looking up million mile Chevys and Tundras...tell me which one actually shows up 🤣🤣🤣
I own a Tundra (inherited it) and will tell you to run as far away from them as quickly as you can. Mine has been nothing but a headache. They all have their issues and Toyota is no different.
Everyone allllways wants a gm v8… as a master tech I can tell you I wouldn’t take one (2014+) if it was given to me. I’ve changed 1000s of lifters… wouldn’t be surprised if this is your issue. People thought they fixed them with the 22s. Let me confirm. They. did. not. Also hope you only put 93 in that tank 😅 if you didn’t and the ecu tells on ya I’ve been forced to deny lifter claims for that. I’m just over here beating the hell out of my lifted 21 LT 4x4 2.7 haha🤷♂️
i had a GM sierra BRAND NEW and it was nothing but problems ......traded it in for a used 2014 tundra.....NEVER LOOKED BACK .....being a GM life long owner ....dont think i will ever go back
It’s most likely the AFM system (Active Fuel Management) the lifters in the cylinders that shut off while cruising may not have good oil flow, ultimately causing their downfall quite literally. They collapse and get stuck in off position and it puts the engine in limp mode after the computer registers a misfire. Sadly this has been happening for almost 15 years I think since they released these motors.
A lot of my friends have the marinized 6.2 engines by marine power In they’re commercial fishing boats and they’ve had a lot of issues with them as well. Seems it’s hard to beat the tried and true 6.0. It’s a shame cause the 6.2 put out such more power and Bette fuel economy
That 6.0 is damn near bulletproof... I did have the lifters changed in mine at 79k, but the oil pump went out as well and I complained to the dealership about a ticking noise... covered under extended warranty... 2018 2500 gasser, btw
The new 5.3 and 6.2 with AFM and or DOD have major issues. I’m a huge GM guy, but I’ll never own an AFM or DOD vehicle. I actually just traded my AFM 5.3 for a GMC 2500HD 6.0 gasser… no cylinder deactivation and a proven GM motor 🇺🇸
I just traded in my 2018 LTZ in on a 2022 High Country. The HC has AFM delete on the MSRP. I had a delete dongle on my 2018 that I was planning to use on my 2022 HC. Both are 5.3's.
This is why I have always been hesitant to buy new and it's hard to find trust worthy mechanics let alone an honest dealership or a company who stands behind their products
Listen my dad has a 2019 Chevy Silverado trail boss right When we bought it was doing the same stuttering we were like what the heck? So we called the dealership and they said bring it we will change trany fluid and we were like no that’s not it no that’s not it Well we came around about it we changed it and it was running and this was like 2 years ago and the truck hasn’t gave us a problem
This is exact reason why I do not buy brand new vehicles.. iv got a nice truck (2014 Chevy Z71) I bought it new and that broke me from buying new. it dropped a lifter under 80,000 miles. and a beater with a heater (1999 GMC Z71 with 425xxx miles and no problems) my wife on the other hand buys new.
Rip! Give it some time, the zr2 is new and stock. The views will come! Keep your plans and don’t steer away. That’s what we like to see! If I were you do the new lifter job that gets rid of the afm!
RIP . Dang I would be trading that truck in already. Can't have something brand new and leave you stranded. I always swear by AAA for towing even if you only use it once every five years it pays for itself. I pay the extra money for it and get 200 miles of free towing
Touch the onstar button they will send a tow truck and it will be towed for FREE. My trailboss went down with the lifters and I used onstar with no problems.
It's sad to see so many of these new chevy trucks fail because I love them I have a 05 2500 6.0 and I love it also got a 05 trailblazer 4.2 i6 they are my pride and joy lol I love your silverado zr2 and the AWE exhaust sounds amazing RIP!
Only last week I saw 2 surburban I the middle of streeet waiting for tow truck . I have seen many Escalade Yukon broken down in street , they transmission and engine problem .
RIP the 6.2. I feel like it can’t be super serious. The dod/afm stuff has been around a bit. I know gm does change things very slowly, but I thought that stuff was figured out in the gen 4 small blocks. It seems like it’s not even attempting to turn on to the run position, key on engine off. Did they tell you how many control units are missing. I remember you saying that you had no heating steering because there were components not installed do to the semiconductor shortage.
Dod/afm has been an issue since they introduced it and still to this day. It’s a junk system that kills what used to be very reliable motors that got the same if not better at times fuel economy. They had a huge lawsuit against them over it and somehow won even though it’s such a massive common issue.
My 2021 high country 6.2L just got out of the dealer for the lifter issue as well it did it at 28k miles. Gm warrantied the work replaced 8 lifters bank 1. Got truck back runs and sounds normal again idk if I’m going to keep it now probably get rid of it before bumper to bumper is up. Been gm all my life now thinking about a f250 diesel or maybe a 5.0 f150 definitely not a v6 just can’t accept that sound coming from a full size truck lol
Mine had a fuel injector fail at 126 miles and it drove to the service dept, very rough, died at the shop as I pulled in. It wouldn’t turn back on and they couldn’t even pull it around to check it. Anyway, it was a fuel injector and it took them a month to get a replacement bank.
Bought a new Sierra was all good til 13000 miles then broken lifters broken pushrods……. Over a week in the shop but thankfully they had some parts to fix it. Gm would only change out the lifters on one side. So as I drive this truck I always expect the other side of lifters to break. Definitely will not keep this truck out of warranty
Great looking truck no doubt, yet as a former fan and owner of multiple GM products over the years I’ve grown to absolutely hate GM. Since my family and I have now switched to Toyota and Honda products, it truly is a night and day difference with reliability. GM has taken Planned Obsolescence to a whole other level with their Garbage. They definitely should not be allowed to have an American Flag attached to their product. We now see why so many Countries hate us, they likely purchased a GM in the past or present.
My 2023 Sierra Denali Ultimate just lost its 6.2 at 5500 miles. They have installed a new engine and will be picking it up today. Man, this is concerning.
That sucks.. got a 2000 5.3 SilveradoZ71..only thing in 22 yrs was a fuel. pump.. love this damn truck.. been across country at 150000 miles .. ran smooth as silk.. wtf Chevy! Now at189,000 miles never an issue.. never an issue with her

I'm not 100% sure, but I don't think the 6.2 has cylinder deactivation... it would still be the same shitty lifters though... I know for a fact that the gasser 2500's don't have AFM OR DOD, whichever it is... not too sure on the 2022's or the 1500's
LS issues
I had the same issue and it was the main wiring harness that plugs in right by the air box. It gets stretched out by the driver side wheel. Easy fix myself.
Gee..... you don't think that maybe jumping ramps and running through 3' of water might have caused his harness to wiggle loose like yours did, do ya? 😆 🤣 😂 that sounds like a great place to start, for sure
@@scottdonahue9193 I mean I hope that would be common sense for most but mine acted up without doing all that stuff lol
Keep at it Bobby I’m sure they will find and fix the issues and it will be back stronger and better. RIP
Honestly I don’t know about modern day Chevy anymore, I would say 2000s Chevys were pretty reliable, my dad had a 2005 suburban, started having (small) issues, nothing major but it was just starting to get pretty expensive (at least I believe it was getting expensive) around 200k-250k miles, we traded it in for a Kia Sorento, it been pretty good the past like 2-3 years
Modern day everything is JUNK! All made to fail.
@@Rocksolidbullys true, at least it seems like ford and ram have less major issues
@@B3nluke been a chevy guy my entire life. I drive a ram now LOL. Do regular maintenance and dont idle for long periods and the hemi is a great motor. Over 115k now no issues.
@@XDM10 yeah, ik people talk crap about rams and their reliability but I feel like ram and ford are the most reliable out of the big 3, ik my grandpa has a 4th Gen ram 1500 and I don’t think it had many issues, if he ever wants to sell that truck I might buy it from him
@@B3nluke definitely great trucks. Put a nice exhaust on it and a leveling kit makes a world of a difference also!
My 2022 RST 6.2 just shut down and left me stranded.
2022 Tahoe Z-71 exact same thing happened yesterday on our 6.2L.
There is a class action suit over the afm/dod issues on GM trucks. Most of the issues are with the 6.2L but the 5.3L has had issues as well. The newer AFM system seems to be more troublesome the the older DOD system.
RAM runs a very similar system on their trucks also with most problems with the 5.7L hemi. The TRX doesn't use the system.
Hope it is an easy, quick fix for you.
I just traded in a 2018 LTZ for a 2022 High Country. The High Country has an AFM delete listed on the MSRP. I put a delete dongle that I still have on my 2018. I was gonna use my old dongle but was glad to see the AFM delete on the build sheet. Both were 5.3's.
@@DLTJR1959 Good deal. Better off without it. I think I remember looking not long ago the you could get the afm delete option on 5.3s with the 8 speed transmission but not with the 10 speed auto or with the 6.2l period.
@@scottedwards402 My HC has the 10 speed. I think the AFM delete was due to the chip shortage.
@@DLTJR1959 That's even better.
don’t get rid of the zr2 i love that truck and can’t wait to see what u do with it
Frustrating, to say the least. I had a similar experience - I bought a new Ford F-150 with the V-6 Ecoboost engine a few years ago. Under 20k miles, the engine started billowing thick, white/blueish smoke from the tailpipe, accompanied by a metal on metal grinding sound in the engine when I accelerated. Read online that many were seeing the same issues. I didn't even try to resolve or investigate further, I took it straight to the dealer and traded it for a Toyota. I'd driven Toyotas my entire life, had decided to try one of these F-150's I'd heard so much about over the years because the mpg on the Ford ecoboost was so much better than Tundra. And the thing was a piece of junk. It's ridiculous to spend that much money on a vehicle and have problems right out the gate. The Tundra is awful on mpg, and the Tacoma is a bit small, but they just run. Chevy, Ford, GMC, all have some good looking trucks but I don't trust them to make a reliable product.
Rip zr2 , let’s see what this Toyota has going manual or not , SEND IT
There a thing called the Lemon Law.
Just get a square body chevy with a new motor. Values are going up on them and you can never go wrong with a square body chevy. They are easy to fix as well
RIP-awful for that to happen already! I love the Colorado!-esp. the last wrap!!
RIP 🪦
Another great upload!! Keep it going Bobby🤘😎
I was going to upgrade but not now Thanks for video ✌️👍🇨🇦
@Text on telegram 👉 RFRacing hi not sure what your talking about but what was wrong with your truck and is it up and running 👍✌️🇨🇦
I have a new Chevy… can’t wait to get rid of it. Problem after problem. Just had the AC compressor blow out, and took the condenser along with it was my latest prob.
That's crazy that a brand new truck with only 4k miles GM has become the joke of the automobile industry. They've gone woke their CEO is a sellout to the government. I've lost all respect for GM. Ever since Mary Barra took over GM has gone downhill real quick. At this point I'd rather take a Ford or Toyota over GM any day. In fact my first 1500 truck will probably be a Ram 1500.
My 6.2 laid over on me after 4000 miles on my 2021 ZL1 1LE. #3 main bearing
GM has been having lifter problems since 2008
My 2022 6.2 seized last night. 15000 miles on it.
Will stick with my 14 Silverado !!!!! It’s a great truck
Just a nice truck but it seemed
That your experience with your new truck is not suited for your satisfaction and the dealer is not cooperative in warranty
I need to know what went wrong? Mine just did this yesterday!!
I just ordered a TB 6.2 should I just cancel?? What does everyone think!!??????
Get a 2023 Ford Raptor R!!!! Great for content w/ Mike and the TRX!!!!!
Man I just want you to know I love to see content on the Zr2, the offroad videos are the best. It's the whole reason I came to this channel. I don't mind it if you sell the Silverado, the taco seems pretty cool, but I would love to see another Colorado Zr2 in the future, maybe the bison?
Get a Toyota Tacoma or Tundra TRD Pro. Won't leave you stranded and will spank any Chevy truck. I used to be diehard Chevy, but just realized the only thing diehard was the breakdowns and excessive maintenance.
Both the tundra or Tacoma are known for issues and recalls and will leave you stranded anywhere lol
Lol
I love Chevy but Toyota is now my go to
@@hotrod7603 you realize you are commenting on a video about a brand new Chevy breaking down right?! I've had 2 Tundras and 1 Tacoma and have had absolutely ZERO issues. I've had Chevy and Ram...plagued with issues with less than 20k miles on them! Try looking up million mile Chevys and Tundras...tell me which one actually shows up 🤣🤣🤣
I own a Tundra (inherited it) and will tell you to run as far away from them as quickly as you can. Mine has been nothing but a headache. They all have their issues and Toyota is no different.
When under warrantee, they should have covered the towing. They didn't?
Everyone allllways wants a gm v8… as a master tech I can tell you I wouldn’t take one (2014+) if it was given to me. I’ve changed 1000s of lifters… wouldn’t be surprised if this is your issue. People thought they fixed them with the 22s. Let me confirm. They. did. not. Also hope you only put 93 in that tank 😅 if you didn’t and the ecu tells on ya I’ve been forced to deny lifter claims for that.
I’m just over here beating the hell out of my lifted 21 LT 4x4 2.7 haha🤷♂️
i had a GM sierra BRAND NEW and it was nothing but problems ......traded it in for a used 2014 tundra.....NEVER LOOKED BACK .....being a GM life long owner ....dont think i will ever go back
It’s most likely the AFM system (Active Fuel Management) the lifters in the cylinders that shut off while cruising may not have good oil flow, ultimately causing their downfall quite literally. They collapse and get stuck in off position and it puts the engine in limp mode after the computer registers a misfire. Sadly this has been happening for almost 15 years I think since they released these motors.
Ever since 2007
The Engineers over at GM have had 15 years to correct that mess and they've failed. AFM/DFM is the Devil 😈 in disguise.
thank you for making this video made me make up my mind im not buying a new chevy
This has never happened to me in my little Toyota
I’ve always been a Chevy guy so this hurts to say but I don’t think the ZR2 is “Special” enough… maybe a new Raptor would spark more interest?
A lot of my friends have the marinized 6.2 engines by marine power In they’re commercial fishing boats and they’ve had a lot of issues with them as well. Seems it’s hard to beat the tried and true 6.0. It’s a shame cause the 6.2 put out such more power and Bette fuel economy
That 6.0 is damn near bulletproof... I did have the lifters changed in mine at 79k, but the oil pump went out as well and I complained to the dealership about a ticking noise... covered under extended warranty... 2018 2500 gasser, btw
Problem is goddam gm dumb fuckers went cheap on the intervals. Niggerin around they shoulda engineered this thing the right way the first time.
The new 5.3 and 6.2 with AFM and or DOD have major issues. I’m a huge GM guy, but I’ll never own an AFM or DOD vehicle. I actually just traded my AFM 5.3 for a GMC 2500HD 6.0 gasser… no cylinder deactivation and a proven GM motor 🇺🇸
I just traded in my 2018 LTZ in on a 2022 High Country. The HC has AFM delete on the MSRP. I had a delete dongle on my 2018 that I was planning to use on my 2022 HC. Both are 5.3's.
This is why I have always been hesitant to buy new and it's hard to find trust worthy mechanics let alone an honest dealership or a company who stands behind their products
Listen my dad has a 2019 Chevy Silverado trail boss right
When we bought it was doing the same stuttering we were like what the heck?
So we called the dealership and they said bring it we will change trany fluid and we were like no that’s not it no that’s not it
Well we came around about it we changed it and it was running and this was like 2 years ago and the truck hasn’t gave us a problem
Got a 2022 Trailboss with the 6.2, 6500 miles on it, love it, but getting nervous. Have a friend with a 2019, he's had no issues.
Knock sensors? My 6.0 similar issues, limp mode. And didn’t happen all the time
R.I.P cant wait to see Colorado zr2 wrap
I love Chevy and gmc Any car or truck have a problem
We don't really like to see you beating on that brand new beautiful Chevy
maybe you were reving it until the rpm was at the red line untill it blew up
This is exact reason why I do not buy brand new vehicles.. iv got a nice truck (2014 Chevy Z71) I bought it new and that broke me from buying new. it dropped a lifter under 80,000 miles. and a beater with a heater (1999 GMC Z71 with 425xxx miles and no problems) my wife on the other hand buys new.
To be fair you beat the shit out of that truck. Not Surprised she broke down on ya. RIP
Rip! Give it some time, the zr2 is new and stock. The views will come! Keep your plans and don’t steer away. That’s what we like to see! If I were you do the new lifter job that gets rid of the afm!
My GMC Denali 2022 (new body) with the 6.2L also had the same issue. Truck is currently in the dealership.
RIP . Dang I would be trading that truck in already. Can't have something brand new and leave you stranded. I always swear by AAA for towing even if you only use it once every five years it pays for itself. I pay the extra money for it and get 200 miles of free towing
Rip, gm should be ashamed of the 6.2 reliability
Time for the new 2023 Colorado zr2. A tune and you are making more hp and torque than this big ol’ v8
Touch the onstar button they will send a tow truck and it will be towed for FREE. My trailboss went down with the lifters and I used onstar with no problems.
Exactly why I don’t even bother with new Gm products or even ford dodge is actually the most appealing now and the hemi is just plain reliable
Its not just gm although they are horrid. They all have quality issues
Honestly would love to see car content like the mustang that you had
Something new maybe trade the truck and get some American muscle
It's sad to see so many of these new chevy trucks fail because I love them I have a 05 2500 6.0 and I love it also got a 05 trailblazer 4.2 i6 they are my pride and joy lol I love your silverado zr2 and the AWE exhaust sounds amazing RIP!
I heard the batter grounds are loose, I have had 2 guys tell me the went through and tighten all grounds and the issue was solved.
That would explain varying voltage and surges
Same problem. Had to replace a wire harness. 10min fix.
Can’t help but blame the way you treat the truck had mine since the refresh was released not a single problem
Only last week I saw 2 surburban I the middle of streeet waiting for tow truck . I have seen many Escalade Yukon broken down in street , they transmission and engine problem .
Step on the brake! 😂😂😂
RIP the 6.2. I feel like it can’t be super serious. The dod/afm stuff has been around a bit. I know gm does change things very slowly, but I thought that stuff was figured out in the gen 4 small blocks. It seems like it’s not even attempting to turn on to the run position, key on engine off. Did they tell you how many control units are missing. I remember you saying that you had no heating steering because there were components not installed do to the semiconductor shortage.
Dod/afm has been an issue since they introduced it and still to this day. It’s a junk system that kills what used to be very reliable motors that got the same if not better at times fuel economy. They had a huge lawsuit against them over it and somehow won even though it’s such a massive common issue.
The Colorado zr2 Bison with 33" is and absolute Beats!!
My 2021 high country 6.2L just got out of the dealer for the lifter issue as well it did it at 28k miles. Gm warrantied the work replaced 8 lifters bank 1. Got truck back runs and sounds normal again idk if I’m going to keep it now probably get rid of it before bumper to bumper is up. Been gm all my life now thinking about a f250 diesel or maybe a 5.0 f150 definitely not a v6 just can’t accept that sound coming from a full size truck lol
Mine had a fuel injector fail at 126 miles and it drove to the service dept, very rough, died at the shop as I pulled in. It wouldn’t turn back on and they couldn’t even pull it around to check it. Anyway, it was a fuel injector and it took them a month to get a replacement bank.
The Colorado had issues too. How quickly you forget. Buy a RAM. Mike has had no problems with his TRX and we have seen he isn't easy on it.
Every mechanic I have ever spoken to says stay away from Chrysler Dodge.
ram IS THE WORST AND YOU KNOW IT SOOOOOOOOOOO
If you hadn't treated it like a borrowed slop bucket probably wouldn't have happened. Just saying.......
I rather see money going into cheaper truck builds than seeing the new Silverado. I feel like other followers would want the same.
Bought a new Sierra was all good til 13000 miles then broken lifters broken pushrods……. Over a week in the shop but thankfully they had some parts to fix it. Gm would only change out the lifters on one side. So as I drive this truck I always expect the other side of lifters to break. Definitely will not keep this truck out of warranty
Great looking truck no doubt, yet as a former fan and owner of multiple GM products over the years I’ve grown to absolutely hate GM.
Since my family and I have now switched to Toyota and Honda products, it truly is a night and day difference with reliability.
GM has taken Planned Obsolescence to a whole other level with their Garbage.
They definitely should not be allowed to have an American Flag attached to their product. We now see why so many Countries hate us, they likely purchased a GM in the past or present.
RIP ZR2, Dang man I really liked that truck
My 2023 Sierra Denali Ultimate just lost its 6.2 at 5500 miles. They have installed a new engine and will be picking it up today. Man, this is concerning.
I seen a video about this guy's 2020 silverado break down with like 5k miles
I was a Chevy guy….5 junk vehicles before I finally let go. Went to NISSAN! Love my TITAN.
Dropped my garbage Dodge Ram & got me a Nissan Titan too. A lot smoother than my previous.
RIP! 😢
UGH - i have a zr2 on order since May - my first GM since 2001. TERRIFED its gunna be a toilet - then all my buddies will be ridiculing me. grr. RIP
That sucks.. got a 2000 5.3 SilveradoZ71..only thing in 22 yrs was a fuel. pump.. love this damn truck.. been across country at 150000 miles .. ran smooth as silk.. wtf Chevy! Now at189,000 miles never an issue.. never an issue with her
There are lemons in everything !👍
this is why i let Gmc go . bought me a 2021 tundra trd pro love this truck 🇺🇸🇺🇸
Nothing more aggrevating man! Had a 2019 f150 and it also gave me issues. Traded it in before warranty ran out.
