MY Silverado ZR2 Left Me STRANDED! RIP 6.2L Engine.. 

Thanks for the support everyone! Love reading all the comments! ⚠️ALSO if you want to win a Chevy that doesn’t suck. Enter to win my insane colorado Zr2 here -> on3supply.com/products/2021-colorado-zr2-poster

Imagine you order this truck.. wait 6-8 months.. pay whatever price the dealership tells you…and this happens. I think this is the future.

Damn that sucks I’m a die hard Chevy guy but damn they really need to get their shit together! They should have made the 3.0 duramax an option in the ZR2

Sounds like you dropped a lifter that bent and push rod that locked up the motor. The manufacturer of the lifters that GM has been using is a known problem. It would be my guess that is what happened. If you keep that bad boy get a system that shuts of the cylinder deactivation helps them last longer, or pay to have normal ones put in and get the truck turned. RIP

Hopefully GM can warranty it. If they do, let's hope they don't find your channel and say you're at fault for the issue because of what the truck has been through lol.

Another example of why I traded my 2016 silverado for a ram rebel. Chevy is garbage now.

The new 6.2 has DFM (Dynamic Fuel Management) lifters. They are controlled by the VLOM (valve lifter oil manifold). The old AFM system allowed the vehicle to switch from v8 to v4 mode when proper conditions allowed it to do so. The new DFM system allows the vehicle to operate with whatever combination the ECM deems most efficient and necessary. Whether thats V8, V7, V6.. all the way down to 1 cylinder firing. The issue with these systems, new and old, is that GM is sourcing very cheap components to facilitate the operation of these very complex and advanced systems. I'm surprised there has not been a lawsuit filed.

If you hadn't treated it like a borrowed slop bucket probably wouldn't have happened. Just saying.......

Once the Silverado gets fixed, keep it! Lmfscrew got his trailboss fixed and it ran better than ever!

Frustrating, to say the least. I had a similar experience - I bought a new Ford F-150 with the V-6 Ecoboost engine a few years ago. Under 20k miles, the engine started billowing thick, white/blueish smoke from the tailpipe, accompanied by a metal on metal grinding sound in the engine when I accelerated. Read online that many were seeing the same issues. I didn't even try to resolve or investigate further, I took it straight to the dealer and traded it for a Toyota. I'd driven Toyotas my entire life, had decided to try one of these F-150's I'd heard so much about over the years because the mpg on the Ford ecoboost was so much better than Tundra. And the thing was a piece of junk. It's ridiculous to spend that much money on a vehicle and have problems right out the gate. The Tundra is awful on mpg, and the Tacoma is a bit small, but they just run. Chevy, Ford, GMC, all have some good looking trucks but I don't trust them to make a reliable product.

Fun fact Chevy says since 2012 98% of its trucks are still on the road to this day they are just waiting for tow trucks 🛻 😂

UGH - i have a zr2 on order since May - my first GM since 2001. TERRIFED its gunna be a toilet - then all my buddies will be ridiculing me. grr. RIP

That's crazy that a brand new truck with only 4k miles GM has become the joke of the automobile industry. They've gone woke their CEO is a sellout to the government. I've lost all respect for GM. Ever since Mary Barra took over GM has gone downhill real quick. At this point I'd rather take a Ford or Toyota over GM any day. In fact my first 1500 truck will probably be a Ram 1500.

Get a Toyota Tacoma or Tundra TRD Pro. Won't leave you stranded and will spank any Chevy truck. I used to be diehard Chevy, but just realized the only thing diehard was the breakdowns and excessive maintenance.

😂 chevy kids😂😂😂 maybe thats a sign ???!!! Lol 😂😂😂

Get a 2023 Ford Raptor R!!!! Great for content w/ Mike and the TRX!!!!!

Got treated the same way with my 2016 Z71 Silverado. I got the 8 speed transmission and it decides to shift really hard at random times. Because the truck drives down the road, GM refused to fix it under warranty. At 80k miles now and just waiting for the trans to go out. Just paid off the truck this year. No other complaints, my 5.3 has been solid.

I had the same issue and it was the main wiring harness that plugs in right by the air box. It gets stretched out by the driver side wheel. Easy fix myself.

A lot of my friends have the marinized 6.2 engines by marine power In they’re commercial fishing boats and they’ve had a lot of issues with them as well. Seems it’s hard to beat the tried and true 6.0. It’s a shame cause the 6.2 put out such more power and Bette fuel economy

I'm not a chevy guy, but people talk shit about ford all the time. I've NEVER been left on the side of the road in my car. Now it doesn't have A/C right now because the compressor won't... well.. compress air, but it's still going, and the only thing's i've replaced on it before 100k were the alternator and water pump. things that commonly go out on all cars. A/C Compressors are common to go out as well, but that's all cars as well. I would hope they warranty the engine because it's clearly a warranty issue, maybe the computer, maybe a chewed wire somewhere, who knows until it's diagnosed. Hopefully it's not too bad and it can be brought back asap. It would be neat to see a supercharged truck since chevy is very unlikely to even do one... they'd have to maybe put the ZL1 supercharger on the truck I think (still same engine... should fit right?!). Anyway, I would maybe look for an older chevy truck to beat on, I think lots of people enjoy those kinds of projects too.

My 2014 silverado 5.3 has no problems. Just hit 123,068 and no problems yet. Better to have old than new. I thought about getting the 6.2 but heard nothing but problems with it. I'll stick with my 5.3.

When it comes to new trucks I avoid anything Chevy or Ford, I don't know about Ford but I know I will only buy gm trucks from 2005 or older. I have a 69 c20 junkyard 454 swapped it and is more reliable than those turds. Dodge is still using pretty old tech and shockingly is more reliable.

Bobby get out of the car game like Mike. You just aren't a mike style car guy. But don't give up youtube. Do you collection type stuff. That's gonna be down your alley.

Everyone allllways wants a gm v8… as a master tech I can tell you I wouldn’t take one (2014+) if it was given to me. I’ve changed 1000s of lifters… wouldn’t be surprised if this is your issue. People thought they fixed them with the 22s. Let me confirm. They. did. not. Also hope you only put 93 in that tank 😅 if you didn’t and the ecu tells on ya I’ve been forced to deny lifter claims for that. I’m just over here beating the hell out of my lifted 21 LT 4x4 2.7 haha🤷‍♂️

I love the look of Chevy trucks. I just can't get passed the lack of quality in modern GM vehicles. I know soooo many people with Chevy Trucks and many with Cadillacs that have all sorts of problems. I went with a 2021 Tundra TRD Pro. It doesn't have the tech you'd like to see but I have yet to have a single issue with it.

I’ve always been a Chevy guy so this hurts to say but I don’t think the ZR2 is “Special” enough… maybe a new Raptor would spark more interest?

The Colorado had issues too. How quickly you forget. Buy a RAM. Mike has had no problems with his TRX and we have seen he isn't easy on it.

I think the Toyota tacoma trd 4x4 would do well on your channel.

Rip, gm should be ashamed of the 6.2 reliability

We don't really like to see you beating on that brand new beautiful Chevy

Honestly I don’t know about modern day Chevy anymore, I would say 2000s Chevys were pretty reliable, my dad had a 2005 suburban, started having (small) issues, nothing major but it was just starting to get pretty expensive (at least I believe it was getting expensive) around 200k-250k miles, we traded it in for a Kia Sorento, it been pretty good the past like 2-3 years

Honestly would love to see car content like the mustang that you had Something new maybe trade the truck and get some American muscle

I have a new Chevy… can’t wait to get rid of it. Problem after problem. Just had the AC compressor blow out, and took the condenser along with it was my latest prob.

RIP 🪦 Another great upload!! Keep it going Bobby🤘😎

Knock sensors? My 6.0 similar issues, limp mode. And didn’t happen all the time

Stop buying Chevy i beat the shit out of my 2012 raptor no problem , time to make move to dodge ford even a Toyota I wish you luck

this suck. Im looking to buy a new truck, and this BS really have me wondering. 70k lemon

2022 Tahoe Z-71 exact same thing happened yesterday on our 6.2L.

There is a class action suit over the afm/dod issues on GM trucks. Most of the issues are with the 6.2L but the 5.3L has had issues as well. The newer AFM system seems to be more troublesome the the older DOD system. RAM runs a very similar system on their trucks also with most problems with the 5.7L hemi. The TRX doesn't use the system. Hope it is an easy, quick fix for you.

RIP the 6.2. I feel like it can’t be super serious. The dod/afm stuff has been around a bit. I know gm does change things very slowly, but I thought that stuff was figured out in the gen 4 small blocks. It seems like it’s not even attempting to turn on to the run position, key on engine off. Did they tell you how many control units are missing. I remember you saying that you had no heating steering because there were components not installed do to the semiconductor shortage.

Just a nice truck but it seemed That your experience with your new truck is not suited for your satisfaction and the dealer is not cooperative in warranty

That's why I won't buy a GM anymore they build garbage all there stuff is junk.

I’ve had 2 ZR2’S now, and both have had paint peeling from the doors and hood. Many other quality control issues. GM is building pure junk. I’m dumping this for a Toyota. Im sure you’ve dropped a lifter. Hope it gets fixed soon…then trade it quickly lol.

Just get a square body chevy with a new motor. Values are going up on them and you can never go wrong with a square body chevy. They are easy to fix as well

GM has really went downhill. You are right about manufacturing in America though. I work in that field, stupidity and laziness is everywhere! Been at this company for 10 years and never seen such shitty workers. It worries me honestly.

Man I just want you to know I love to see content on the Zr2, the offroad videos are the best. It's the whole reason I came to this channel. I don't mind it if you sell the Silverado, the taco seems pretty cool, but I would love to see another Colorado Zr2 in the future, maybe the bison?

Mine died too! I went and got a RAM and it has been Solid as a Rock!!! Love this new truck. Has a panoramic sunroof and a real flat floor which I wanted and GM didn't have. Hope it works out for you bro.

Idk why cars can be so strange, my grandpa has owned chevys and gms all his life pretty much and they’ve been reliable as hell, so it’s just kind of a one of one thing for your zr2 Silverado breaking down

Great looking truck no doubt, yet as a former fan and owner of multiple GM products over the years I’ve grown to absolutely hate GM. Since my family and I have now switched to Toyota and Honda products, it truly is a night and day difference with reliability. GM has taken Planned Obsolescence to a whole other level with their Garbage. They definitely should not be allowed to have an American Flag attached to their product. We now see why so many Countries hate us, they likely purchased a GM in the past or present.

I love Chevy and gmc Any car or truck have a problem

My 2022 RST 6.2 just shut down and left me stranded.

maybe you were reving it until the rpm was at the red line untill it blew up

Your truck comes with roadside assistance, why would you pay for the tow?

Lol pos new chevys they really went down hill and that’s coming from a cateye owner here

Its not just gm although they are horrid. They all have quality issues

When under warrantee, they should have covered the towing. They didn't?

I need to know what went wrong? Mine just did this yesterday!!

RIP . Dang I would be trading that truck in already. Can't have something brand new and leave you stranded. I always swear by AAA for towing even if you only use it once every five years it pays for itself. I pay the extra money for it and get 200 miles of free towing

Yea.. I don’t like the Silverado zr2 get a Colorado or keep ur og Colorado

Never was a Chevy person until November 2020 when traded a new piece of junk 2020 Explorer Limited for a new 2020 Silverado 1500 RST Z-71 Black 5.3 and I love it. I have an assigned work vehicle so don’t drive it every day and we just got back from beach last Friday and now it has 14,000 plus miles on it. Had second service done at 10,000 miles at dealership and at 10,300 it dropped a lifted. Still would start and run but missed a lot. Tow and repair completely covered under warranty and they had it done within a week including weekend. Had it repaired same day parts came in and they replaced entire bank where lifter problems was. Even with that issue I still love my truck.

Rip zr2 , let’s see what this Toyota has going manual or not , SEND IT

GM has been having lifter problems since 2008

My 6.2 laid over on me after 4000 miles on my 2021 ZL1 1LE. #3 main bearing

I’m great full that all of my 6.2s have not had these issues. Currently have 2 have had at least 8 other 6.2s with no issues. I have read about the lifter issues. Goodluck.

So many people are says switch trucks to other brands. Go to those brands and see all the complaints on those too. Bottom line they ALL have some issues .

The new 5.3 and 6.2 with AFM and or DOD have major issues. I’m a huge GM guy, but I’ll never own an AFM or DOD vehicle. I actually just traded my AFM 5.3 for a GMC 2500HD 6.0 gasser… no cylinder deactivation and a proven GM motor 🇺🇸

This has never happened to me in my little Toyota

My 2022 6.2 seized last night. 15000 miles on it.

I was going to upgrade but not now Thanks for video ✌️👍🇨🇦

RIP-awful for that to happen already! I love the Colorado!-esp. the last wrap!!

It just happened to me when I was exiting off an interstate coasting down hill, maybe 35mph. Left me stranded too, couldn't even put it in neutral to move out of traffic. Towed to dealer and was told engine needs replaced. Blamed me for following manufacturer recommended service program. I was told I need to service it every 5k miles not the 7.5k MyChevy App, the dealer and chevy says. So a little dirty oil locked up the motor? Head mechanic said not to worry, his mechanic takes care of this all the time. Why didn't the sales person tell me that? I just rolled 20k miles on my 10 month old 2023 Silverado zr2. Should've gotten the Toyota or Ford. I'm not feeling confident about this $70k+ chevy truck. My first chevy truck. Ugh, should've listened to friends and avoided GM.

We had a 17 Silverado 5.3L with around 100,000km (62,000mi) and coming home one day the engine light started flashing so we pull over, turned it off the on again, code went away, normal operation so we got it to the Chevy dealer and when this happened we had it 8 months...so we got it looked at and it was saying multiple cylinder misfire, ALL the tests they did came back normal, so had to fork out 700 bucks for that, 3 weeks later...same issue!!!!! So I got it towed to another dealer and this time it was saying that the multiple cylinder misfire was double from before so they did more testing and....yet again another 500 bucks for nothing...so we had the truck for just under 2 years and traded it for a 21 Classic Ram 5.7 brand new and got 5k more than what we paid for the Silverado

Hahaha Chevy is terrible. Time to get a ford.

Keep at it Bobby I’m sure they will find and fix the issues and it will be back stronger and better. RIP

Bobby why does this issue always happen to you?

It's called GM quality

This is why I have always been hesitant to buy new and it's hard to find trust worthy mechanics let alone an honest dealership or a company who stands behind their products

don’t get rid of the zr2 i love that truck and can’t wait to see what u do with it

It’s most likely the AFM system (Active Fuel Management) the lifters in the cylinders that shut off while cruising may not have good oil flow, ultimately causing their downfall quite literally. They collapse and get stuck in off position and it puts the engine in limp mode after the computer registers a misfire. Sadly this has been happening for almost 15 years I think since they released these motors.

That is my thing...I can't see paying that big price for the vichle and the dealership that it's came from...can't fixed it right....they new trucks look good especially with everything on it.....but the bad thing is when it breaks down...that's going to cost you....plus my thing is...if you buy a 70 thousand dollars vichle...and it you wreak it.....your insurance company ...not going to give your money back......just the blue book ....and it's may be 30 thousand dollars.....and leave you the rest......damn shame....

It’s two bags of always wanted a Chevy truck but they’re such pieces of shit and if I’m gonna spend that much money I don’t wanna piece of shit I could buy three fucking Honda Accord‘s that would last 1,000,000 miles on that one truck that’ll last 10,000 miles. Go tundra. Better looking. Way nicer truck.

Listen my dad has a 2019 Chevy Silverado trail boss right When we bought it was doing the same stuttering we were like what the heck? So we called the dealership and they said bring it we will change trany fluid and we were like no that’s not it no that’s not it Well we came around about it we changed it and it was running and this was like 2 years ago and the truck hasn’t gave us a problem

Anything after 2016 seems to be shit from GMs 1/4 ton trucks

Wait until your older you will cringe at all these T-shirts that you’re making thinking that he’s the reason. Abd free Brandon ones. Why would anybody spend $50-$60,000 on an American truck that’s a piece of shit go buy a tundra.

When you getting the toyota?

There a thing called the Lemon Law.

I'm worried. I have a 2019 GMC Sierra with 6.2 and 145k on it and the only non maintenance repair has been an idler pulley and we got a '23 suburban with 6.2 but there have been lots of covid production trucks blowing up especially with GM stuff. They're cutting production shifts to feather supply and it's seemingly leading to QC issues.

Mike is a saint your blessed. How much is your truck payment ?

GM, I hope you’re watching this. THIS IS A DAMN SHAME !!!

i had a GM sierra BRAND NEW and it was nothing but problems ......traded it in for a used 2014 tundra.....NEVER LOOKED BACK .....being a GM life long owner ....dont think i will ever go back

These new vehicles are total garbage

That’s why you buy a Ford

Wow, Rip Zr2. I got a 21 trailboss with 20,000 miles no issues yet, knock on wood. Beautiful truck by the way. When it gets fixed it will be Beautiful again.

No offense, the zr2 1500 is literally a let down. It doesn't look good. It doesn't perform good. It doesn't have amazing clearance. It doesn't have any amazing offroading capabilities. Its just a horrible option for what you wanna do. If u were like mike, n bought solely for trips and that. Cool. Main channel, heck no. It does nothing for ur channel. Can that pos quickly. Youd get 50k views all day long with a tacoma. If you get a tacoma. So many people own them. So everytime u buy a part, buy 2. Have a mini giveaway each time you upgrade. Id bet ur pos gm that it'll pay off, immensely.

You're way overreacting. It happens to every manufacturer.

Dear followers!! Don't let the beautiful pictures confuse you . Anyone who buys a new car from GENERAL Motors the chance you threw your money into the trash is very large. In this company there is no customer service, the company's management does not care at all, if you have a problem or a malfunction, you can only pray to God there is a chance that the help will come faster. GM is a very dangerous company, be careful and keep your money safe.!!!👎👎👎👎👎😬👎😬👎👎Share so more people don't get screwed.GM is a big bluff

My 2021 high country 6.2L just got out of the dealer for the lifter issue as well it did it at 28k miles. Gm warrantied the work replaced 8 lifters bank 1. Got truck back runs and sounds normal again idk if I’m going to keep it now probably get rid of it before bumper to bumper is up. Been gm all my life now thinking about a f250 diesel or maybe a 5.0 f150 definitely not a v6 just can’t accept that sound coming from a full size truck lol

This is exact reason why I do not buy brand new vehicles.. iv got a nice truck (2014 Chevy Z71) I bought it new and that broke me from buying new. it dropped a lifter under 80,000 miles. and a beater with a heater (1999 GMC Z71 with 425xxx miles and no problems) my wife on the other hand buys new.

This shit happens way too much. I’m sitting here with my at4x like it’s a ticking time bomb and it’s only a matter of time before it takes a shit.

Get a Ford!!!! Gm is trash my uncles Denali just broke down brand spanking new!!! It’s already having engine problems he’s pissed he spend 90k for a piece of junk 🤣meanwhile my 5.0 f150 with 200k miles on it is going harder than ever no lights on dash best damn truck ever!!!
