Watch this. As a prior GM Tech, he shows the 3rd version of the dealer notice that shows how they’ll determine the engine swaps.

Thank you

This may be really dumb question, but I read somewhere that since this is a safety related recall, if the dealer determines that the engine needs replaced, that they can actually not give the truck back to you until its done. Is that interweb BS or what?

That is true...and in writing.

So next week, if they determine I need an engine, I'm walking home?

Supposedly they are supposed to provide a rental if you are still under warranty.

No one has seen the 000 bulletin. Only 001 and 002 have been released. 002 is for DEALER inventory, NOT customer vehicles. 001 is to inspect for P0016 code and change oil if it passes inspection which I believe involves cutting the filter open to inspect for metal particles. They change oil weight to 0W40 and give you a 10 year 150k mile warranty on the engine if it hasn't already been replaced. If they replace the engine, you get no additional warranty.

There was also this in the comments:
Text message from Garage Monkey Mechanics "Now we have to picoscope all used inventory thats on stop sale for which they released a different email basically saying 0w-40 and all the other stuff is on intergalactic backorder for the L87 and services can't be completed. But we need to be using a harness they are shipping to us."

As noted in N252494002, apparently if the engine has a build date prior to 24183, it falls under the replacement process.

Ok, that is what I am afraid of. The truck is a 2023, and definitely falls withing the parameters of the recall. I had also read that if your engine passes, you are given additional warranty on it. It is still under the factory warranty now.
We have a camping trip in July, and I need to tow my camper. I cant afford to have them "confiscate" the truck.
I will probably cancel the appt. since right now I cant afford to be without it.

If you look at the above video and the N252494002 update, they've reverted back to 0-20 oil, but apparently expanded the engine replacements.

I did watch the whole video, and I read a small section about not allowing the used ones on the road. I know these fail without warning, but so far mine has been great, and I drive it like I stole it. Now I'm not really sure what I am going to do.. I think I'll call the dealer Monday and see what they say.

Is there an easy way to determine the engine (vs the truck) build date?

 

[GETGONE]

You have to read the sticker on the back of the driver's side block. The previous video shows the sticker and the 002 service bulletin also shows the tag and how to read it.
