Failure at just shy of 13k miles. 2021 Yukon Denali with the 6.2L. I need to look at the build date but somewhere between 1/1 and 2/10 2021.

Not sure you are going to get anything meaningful (statistically speaking) from your poll. I didn't vote as my truck was built in October, hence doesn't have enough miles on it to be a fair test.

I think you should also include current mileage and weight your results accordingly.

2021 Z71. 13,700 miles. No issues so far. Been driving in L9 the last month or so. Mine doesn't have the build date on the door jam sticker. So no idea when the engine was made. I picked it up Mar 2020, so build before then is all I know. Saw a post about checking the engine cylinder or something, but have no idea where to actually look.

You certainly need to include build date if it’s within the range that GMC has in TSB. If this is a basic design flaw as claimed by some then we should see failures outside of that build range.

Has anyone seen any reports of lifter problems on 22’s? Have one ordered and scheduled to be built 4/4 and obviously hoping I’ll be in the clear

I did see this but I mean compared to the number of posts I've seen on here regarding failed lifters on 21's I was just wondering if the issue on 22's was limited to this one incident as far as we know

This is the only one I've seen as well but it certainly makes you wonder if the saga continues?

Failed last week at 12k miles…manufacture date of March 2021

I had the same issue...mine was built March 2021 and had one failed lifter about a year later in April 2022 at 9,100 miles.
