BREAKING: GM is officially recalling the L87

[Scarey]

Put a bit of a jack on it. Slide under on drivers side, get comfortable, and look around driver side, aft end of motor. It’s up between two sides you can only see it at an angle. I was able to read without taking a picture. Like I said, get comfortable, it’ll take some snooping around.
I have have two stickers also around the headlight areas. I believe this date is the final assembly date. Mine said Mexico, I assume fianal assembly Mexico?

Right the engine build date wouldn't be by the headlight it's on the driverside head on the rear and can be a real PITA to take a picture of it.

Engine build dates are typically 1-2 months before vehicle build date.

It is hard to take a picture. I couldn’t do it, but with a flashlight I could read it. Mine was K1220072jw4x3162. Car wasn’t sold until late 2022. Engine was built January 7th 2022.

Looks to be built 2022 and 72 day of year if I'm reading tag correctly

I believe your right 007 is correct.

Maybe. I’m not sure if it is day 007, so 7, or 0072, so day 72. ‍Either way, seeing Vlad’s stock engine replacement condition, not really happy it sat so long.

Day 007 of 2022

It appears Chevy dealers won’t trade for a 6.2 now. This thing is getting stupid.

I've been asking about a trade for my 6.2 for last couple weeks with very little action. I think they have locked down the trade for recalled vehicles.

 

[Kaminski]

It is my understanding that GM will not take a trade in because then they can’t sell them due to the stop sale. So we’re stuck even if we want to get rid of the car. A lot of people have a very expensive hunk of metal with payments on that hunk of metal they shouldn’t drive due to safety.

 

[GMCChevy]

I can understand dealers not wanting to take them but GM should do something about that. You sell people a vehicle at such high prices with a ticking time bomb engine that stops in traffic, there are reports here and other places how it can take months to get the engine replaced and some have that one go too so people can't get rid of them even if they wanted to. I'd never be buying a GM again.

So you only had 2500 miles on the oil you sent in? Would be real surprised if they find anything bad at that mileage.

That's exactly what I am hoping as well. I use the service on my race engines. Engines that often only have a few hours on them.
You can see component failure long before anything is visible in the oil. It's a great tool.
