Hi All,
New to the forum, but not new to GM.
I have a 2018 Suburban and just got a 2024 GMC Yukon XL Denali.
I see alot about the 6.2 and all the failures.
I have the range technologies device coming tomorrow that goes into the ECU (behind wheel well on driver side) and disables the stop start and DFM.
My question is, this motor has been made for ages.
Is the real issue the DFM crap?
My truck has 15 miles on the odometer and I am a maintenace hawk.
I plan on changing out engine oil at 1k miles and then again at 5k regular intervals.
I am really enjoying the 6.2, total upgrade from the 5.3
Also, is there no way to check the trans fluid other than getting under the car and opening the bolt on the back of the pan? No dipstick in this?
