Lifter anxiety

[Onlyone]

What does that link explain about a lifter call me ignorant that's an explanation for a 20-year-old vehicle.
The valve train for our newer vehicles are much more sophisticated.

It’s not worth arguing with children. Let him win.

So this thing gets bounced up and down 1000 times a minute against a 300 lb spring and it's expected to last how many miles?

Well, I left the Ford camp and purchased a new 22 burb last July, love the truck. This forum is great for all info related to our vehicles. Is there a mileage range when this lifter failure occurs? Reading the lifter related threads is seems mileage is all over the board. I only have 3600 miles As the owner of a new Tahoe, I appreciate your anxiety. If you want a trouble-free engine, my best advice to you is to go out and buy a 2022 Toyota Sequoia. Those engines will give you 300,000 miles RELIABLY. Unfortunately, the new EPA doesn't like them.

Did they fix the turbo wastegate issue?

If I'm not mistaken, the really bad lifter issues were corrected for the '22 model year. I think the DFM system had issues from '19-'21, but they should have been fixed by '22.

My part time jobs have (2) 2021 Suburban LTs and (2) 2021 Yukon XL AT4s, and two had to have engines replaced somewhere between 10k and 15k. I haven't heard any issues with the '22 models yet.

The bad run of lifters were Sept.2019 thru March 2020 of Engine build date not vehicle build date. My 2019 Silverado was built in Dec. of 2018 and engine was built Nov. of 2018 I bought it in March of 2019. Our 2022 Tahoe was built in July of 2022 with an engine build date of June 2022 and bought 1-2-23. This range effects the 6.2 motor also.

The company that built these lifters and components were out of spec of what GM wanted is what they found.

Sequoia? They used to be reliable but the DI Turbo engine changed that. Sadly, new vehicles are less reliable than just a few years ago.

2022 Sequoia is the old design with the 5.7L V8. Same design architecture from what they put out in 2008. It’s the ‘23 Sequoias that have the new twin turbo V6 that had turbo issues the day it was launched.

Its not common. This forum is dead. There is a handful of active posts about it .

If it was even remotely common there would be a recall.

nought my 2015 from a Cadillac dealer that owned it as company car for 5 years
They tried to push “ Warranty” for I think it was $3000… we said no thanks after a 5 minute ride and a week or two later I was on a deserted road and decided to “ Wind it Up for the First time. I left shift lever in normal drive to let it up shift on its own, and at about 5000 it upshifted and POPED a smal backfire Sound and was limping !
Engine light came on- I stopped , turned it off for a few minutes started up and it ran just fine although it always Stuttered and hunted for the v-4 .. so I put a range DOD eliminator on it …. So a month later I decided to run it Up thru the gears and It Popped again engine light came on and it never healed. The selling dealer said Sorry you bought As Is….. I knew I wanted to get rid of the Lifter DOD but Chevy dealer said No, local repair shops said get a junkyard engine… I had it towed 150 miles to a Chevy Thner / Hot Rod shop who put Texas speed cam and new Chevy lifters ?(ls7?)
It runs Great they Dyno tuned it perfect
$3000 !!! Same as warranty cost !!!

"Same as warranty cost" and pretty much guaranteed it won't ever happen again. Money well spent.

go to enterprise cars for sale website. you can see all the carfaxes for them. they have quite a few 21s and 22s for sale with 20-60k miles. I'd say i looked through about 20 of them and found about 6 or 7 that had lifters replaced. Im sure someone with more time can go through every single one and compile a %. Obviously enterprise vehicles get about minimal maintenance and have someone new always driving them. So maybe not the best guage, but it is interesting for sure.

Interesting. But I really can't imagine being a rental unit would have much of an impact if the lifters are indeed faulty.

Except with a warranty it would have been fixed also, and you’d still have years of warranty left to to fix OTHER issues that are sure to crop up…
