First at around 4000 miles and now at 18700.....2020 trail.boss 5.3...booooolshit is what it is...even the service writer said to.trade it off before the warranty is up....
 
Must be a lemon maybe. I have had zero issues so far and almost 40K. I wish it would die sometimes. I have an engine waiting.

So you.have an extra 5.3 engine in the waits?
 
It was number 7 cylinder, same one this time, yes they just changed the one side, it's the same one again ....when I asked why they didn't change them all they said warranty wouldn't allow them to unless the looked bad.....

Sorry to hear! I have a 2021 6.2 and the driver's side lifters needed replaced at just under 12,000 miles. I was pissed that they wouldn't just replace the passenger side also while they were in there. But I'm at 45,000 miles now and still no issues from that other side. Sounds like they only did one side one yours the first time too :(
 
If he has an engine in waiting I’m betting it’s something better than a 5.3.
All I will say it has a twin screw bolted to it for gas mileage purposes only. :ROFLMAO: After the 6/60 elapses I'll pull it if it doesn't fail for some reason. Just want to drive it and if it fails I will have it covered under warranty and save it for a spare. All I'm waiting for.
 
Dave,
Here is a phone number for GM national customer service 1 (800) 222-1020

Call them and file a claim. Tell them you demand BOTH sides of your lifters need to be replaced. They do answer that number and will talk to you.

When my lifter went I had to fight with the dealer and Chevy National. It was ugly and a lot of BS but they finally agreed to replace both sides. Their policy is to judge everything based on the cam shaft. If it is not damaged they only do one side. That means the guys that try to keep driving it after the failure get a proper repair. Put up a fight to get those bad parts out of there. The squeaky wheel gets the grease!

Thanks for the info....the service writer said he'd trade it off before the warranty expires...i wonder if the 2023 still have this lifter problem?

Would you do a LS swap? That is my plan. I don’t know much about the 2.7 but it knocks and pings constantly. It only has 5000km on it. I’m wondering if I should do a oil change soon
 
Does anyone know the warranty the replacement lifters come with? I remember reading something like 4 years/unlimited miles.

I've been told the 3/4 tons don't have the fuel management system, that may be the way to go......dealer said that 2.7 turbo is what everybody is raving about......my trucks supposed to be fixed by Friday afternoon.
