Thinking of selling my new 6.2L Denali...

[PPV_2018]

Theres more than 39 complaints of engine failure on this forum alone. I guarantee its in the 100's of thousands of failures...

You guarantee? How could you guarantee something that you can’t prove ?

Hundreds of thousands implies multiple hundreds.. like 200k+

200k of 800k is 25%.. if a quarter of T2 gen trucks had already suffered engine failures then every day when you got on the interstate the shoulders would be littered with broken down T2 trucks like soda cans and candy wrappers

If there were 1000 complaints on the forum, it is still closer to 39 than 800k.

What weight oil would you consider for the 6.2

There's no way there are only 39. My engine just let go at 34K miles and I know for a fact I'm not on that list of 39. The 39 complaints are 39 owners who filed formal complaints. I was trying to figure out how I put my name on that list but no clear answers at least on the internet.

I think we’ve had probably well over 20 of those failures reported just here alone. Heck, mine had its engine replaced before I bought it.

For all the 6.2l owners that have "6.2l Range Anxiety", not how long between fill up, how long between engine failure, Suggestions for "Range Anxiety"

I am right there with you. My 22 is in for an engine replacement and I am debating on whether or not I keep it. I was on the fence of buying another truck, but this puts me in more of a position to give it strong consideration. My biggest problem is not knowing the full scope of the issue and which model years are most effected by the issue. Because I would also be looking at a 6.2l truck.

Normally I would agree that such a move is a rash decision. However there is a disquieting number of folks who have had a second and even third engine fail.
