Hopefully none of you get the oil leak or EGR issues I've read about.
Ended up going F150 Lariat this time over the Sierra. Couple concerning issues with the GMC, one dealer was horrible to work with, the other wouldn't price match the other. Got $9k off, plus a front end 2" level thrown in, 2.9% for 72 months, and great experience with Ford... went that route.
I love my Toyotas, but they simply don't have anything I'm interested in. Tacoma doesn't have a lot of power and poor mileage - full size trucks get the same. Tundra doesn't interest me and is underwhelming, expected more from the new one.
Nissan, never looked at. Came close on the GMC. Chevy 1500 ZR2, didn't like the interior. Ford it is.
I am a bit surprised at the loyalty to the big three and UAW. Perhaps I shouldn’t be, as they have learned to build a darn good product. My next vehicle will not be made by them.
GM Stops Sales Of Some 2024 Chevy Silverado & GMC Sierra Trucks Over Splitting Roofs The automaker has confirmed the issue and is in the process of identifying the affected pickup trucks to perform the necessary repairs
My 3.0 Diesel truck that is due to arrive is part of the recall!

What does this have to do with the 3.0 Duramax engine?
It is irrelevant what you think. What matters is the TRUTH.
Oh, OK. I guess my head was up my keester as I see you posted that previously. I'm sure they'll get that roof situation ironed out, and hope you get your truck before too long. I'm still really impressed with mine.

It's interesting how dirty the engines of modern diesels are due to the emissions equipment.
That tear down doesn't reflect anything negative about the engine. Very well thought-out.
It was ran out of oil, the oil drivin timing chain tensioner lost tension, valves out of timing, piston came in contact with the valves. Actually quite fkn amazing that the head and block survived.
200,000 miles on a belt change is nothing, nor is moving the transmission back. I bet guys will be drinking beer, doing the job from home for less than a grand in parts, many years from now.
Geezus christ, there sure are some caddy btches trying to sht on this wonderful 3 liter.
Anyone having transmission problems witheir trucks with the 3.0? Guy at work has his 2023 chevy with the 3.0 in the shop cuz all kinds of codes and limp mode. I guess a common problem regarding the valve body according to his dealer. No recall....yet
Just picked up my 2024 GMC 1500 Sierra Elevation 3.0 Diesel Max tow package with 3.73 Rear axle. Drove it home tonight. showed 23 mpg with 23 miles on the ODometer! Dealer ordered 3 1500 crew cab, std bed, max tow package, very hard to find I looked over a year plus!
