Doesn't it also have different rear end ratio's? I know the previous year Max Trailering packages did.

Good question. I didn’t realize how widespread the problem is until after I placed my order and started reading about it on the forums. It’s borderline negligent that GM knows about the problem and hasn’t done anything proactive about it until the recent class action lawsuit.If you think its a DFM time bomb why would you buy it at all? The current outdated Sequoia is selling above list in my area so if the market is still tight when the new one gets here I would imagine it will as well.
It used to, but with ‘21+ models, the rear end is always 3.23Doesn't it also have different rear end ratio's? I know the previous year Max Trailering packages did.
The lifter problems are really two separate issues. I have no doubts about a higher than average failure rate for the engines built during the time period GM identified and blamed on a supplier. For everything built outside of that time period -- people blame DFM/AFM for a high failure rate -- but i havent seen anything to quantify that rate. I personally doubt its anything over a fraction of a percent. Maybe its higher than the industry average -- or non DFM/AFM motors - but that could still mean a low overall failure rate. And remember GM builds hundreds of thousands of these motors each year - most owners get through trouble free.Good question.

How about you? Do you think about your engine grenading from a failed lifter or bent pushrod?
And I won’t be buying from any dealer for any brand if there is a market adjustment. Costs me $0 to wait.
You mentioned jumping to a Sequoia and sure maybe Toyota does a better job with initial quality -- but the new Sequoia will have a all new twin turbocharged engine with an electric motor, all new air suspension, and lots of onew tech. I wouldnt be surprised if there are teething issues there too

I love this forum and learn alot on here. But it can taint your ownership experience. Bad experiences are WAY over-represented (just like on any other forum). So to answer your question, sure I think about the lifters failing, my air suspension collapsing, the automatic assist steps binding, the sunroof jamming, the overhead console blowing out and on and on. I still think the overwhelming odds are non of the that stuff happens.

3.23, but given the 10spd trans…the lower gears
are really low, and 9-10 are really high.
None of the above. It's an independent rear suspension so it uses a different differential than past generations or the pickups. That said, I note that the 5.3 uses a different GM part number for the rear diff than the 6.2 and 3.0 do.Got it.
I curious whether it was a 8.6, 8.8 or 9.75" diff.
