Gotcha!
This first quarter would include expenses for the original recall that started last summer though.
Listening to that interview with CNBC Paul Jacobson was certainly optimistic that they would continue to improve margins.
If the failure rate was higher than 3% Im pretty sure that would cut into the 10% margin.

Those corporate guys though…

I certainly didn’t mean to imply you didn’t know what you were talking about and sorry if it came off that way!
I was surprised how well GM did over the past 2 years especially compared to other automakers.

It's funny, now I am seeing people (not here) claiming they are on their 5th or 6th engine, that GM is having them sign NDA's to get a new engine, and even one who said they put a 5.7L (yes 5.7L) in their truck by mistake. Of course when you ask for proof.....

Sounds like you spend a lot of time on the Internet or Facebook?

Just took a family trip from NJ shore to Chicago and back. I’m at 10500 miles. Last oil change was 6100 miles only a few months back. Thinking I’ll change the oil and send for analysis at 12k miles.

Checked the oil today and it’s still at the top; hasn’t burned a drop. Also catch can did catch about 1/4 of the reservoir.

Will update after I send the analysis in and get the results. I still feel my 6.2 is solid, but we’ll see!

I’m sure if there is any bearing wear it will show up in the oil analysis for sure at this point.

BTW was really impressed with the truck mpg. 7 people, loaded up Thule on the roof rack, and averaged 17mpg at a 85mph cruising speed. This is also with the AFM disabled.

Was that Premium fuel and/or E85... oxygenated, etc.? Just trying to get a handle on the general mileage. Thanks.

Stopped a few times. All premium so 93 or 92. Probably the generic 10% ethanol.

Computer or manual calculations?
