BREAKING: GM is officially recalling the L87

[Scarey]

I like this!

At work, we had a saying that convey's the same thoughts:
Price, Quality or Delivery -- Choose Two! (think about it)

I’m going to try that one on my wife

You know it won't work. Hide the shovel, no point in making the hole deeper/bigger...

Wow $53.75 for an air filter

Well, you gotta figure in labor. Likely $180 an hour. Even at .1, that is $18 labor.

We dont charge labor to install an air filter. You buy our GM filter and we install it for free. And our labor rate is $129 an hour

Then that means at $53.75, some of that is for a labor offset. OR....the price is all labor because you likely have a non flat rate guy doing oil changes that is not paid the same as a flat rate tech.

We charge $42.95 and that's why I have 3 oil techs that are paid hourly and stay booked out 2-3 days cause I am much cheaper on oil changes or any work performed with the 3 other Chevy dealerships within 30 minutes of me

My recall motor replacement is done, and it is motor #3 for me with only 46K miles. 0W40 oil in it. Install was perfect, but the motor itself doesn't sound very good.

I put a remote mic on the oil dipstick for good audio. How's it sound to you all? I don't know what "normal" is anymore for GM.

Did dealer put 0w-40 in engine at replacement.

 

[OR VietVet]

Sounds normal, ship it.

What noise do you hear that does not sound normal?

 

[2017sltXL]

A remote mic down there is going to pick up everything, and a bunch of stuff that might not be related. You are right by the rotating assembly where most of the noise will be. This is akin to using a stethoscope so everything is magnified. Can you post a video of what is sounds like, say, in the wheel well? It's a rare bird if these engines don't make any noise

Whoa, wait a minute. Are you saying you went in for the recall and your engine didn’t pass pico scope inspection?

 

[22BlackDenali]

For those that had their pico test done and passed, do you get any documentation of the values of your test and see where you are in the pass/fail range. "Barely passed" vs "no signs of defect". I would feel much better if I knew I wasn't right on the edge of passing....

 

[BacDoc]

My

I hadn’t gotten my letter yet and made an appointment with my dealer for the recall
They completed the inspection & oil change and my letter arrived 3 days later
If your vin is on the list the dealers have access to the entire list

VIN is on the recall list and I made appointment with my dealer. I posted before about this. Dealer wasn’t ready and I just got regular oil change.

This is for a 2024 Tahoe in Florida.

 

[BacDoc]

Ouch!
$150 for an oil change?
Where I live, I can get an 0-20w oil change AND tire rotation for $100.

Here in Florida it’s $112 for 0-20W mobile 1 synthetic and tire rotation for the 6.2l

Got nothing like that. But your question made me curious so I found some videos on how it all works. Pretty fascinating piece tech.

I agree with you, I would be interested to see the results in detail - but I think realistically, all most of us will see is a pass/fail. Maybe someone who has a really good relationship with their service department could get some more detailed documentation, but I don't think they necessarily have any obligation to provide it under the recall, even if you ask for it.
