Engine seized

[SMITH2]

It has been a month and still no word on a replacement engine for my 2023 Tahoe 6.2. My wife and I are now thinking of looking at the Ford Expedition or the F150. I pull a 6500 lb camper and when the engine seized we were almost killed because of the traffic. GM doesn’t seem to care. I have been an GM person for a long long time. Opinions, please.

Have you researched the vehicle lemon law for your state?

Have you researched the vehicle lemon law for your state?

No I have not. I really no not have another 20 grand available

You should research the lemon law for your state.

Many states enable the vehicle owner to obtain a refund or a new vehicle, if the vehicle qualifies.

I have gone through two lemon law repurchases from GM. One I used an attorney and one I presented myself in binding arbitration (and won).

That’s insane. How were you able to stop?

GM clearly has ongoing QA/QC issues with the 6.2s.

See Inside a New Cadillac Escalade's 6.2L V8 Engine That Failed After 4 Miles

As GM struggles to manage a surge in 6.2L V8 failures, an engine shop in Utah pulled apart an example that failed after just four miles of driving.

Same thing happened to me in 2022. Engine blew up on my 15 Yukon and I still owed a good amount on it. It heart breaking.. At some point I decided to just own it and take care of it myself.

I bought an Ebay L86 (6.2) for 3K and rebuilt it. I had never touched a GM engine before so, this was a first for me. I used a L83 cam because it's cheaper. Works great.

They come apart and go together easy if it's any consolation. I spent some $ on Hp tuners and had to learn how to use it. That was the most difficult part to be honest. The trucks are way to work on. And they're reliable when you rebuild them with the non-afm parts. I can attest to this because my wife wasn't able to blow it up again. (heh)

Good luck with whatever you decided to do.
