Sales of ice vehicles continue to fall world wide, BEVs continue to grow, Tesla is the only BEV worth having mainly for the charging network which is designed, built, owned and maintained by Tesla. The company is the most financially stable of all auto companies. They are making more sense as time goes by just like every other battery tool, save up. In the meantime long live the small block.
@49walker44 Well what a difference a year makes. Tesla keeps going backwards now even with lower prices. It isn't looking good for them if they don't update that 12 year old look. Getting stale. The Cybertruck will certainly help sales for now.
Nope I would not. Chrysler is doing the right thing here, wait has that ever been said before, the Hurrican inline 6 is the way to go. ZF transmission and an inline 6, if it turns out to be reliable, is going to be a great setup. I probably wouldn't be the first inline to own it though, let other people beta test it. The same goes for anything GM builds though, wait and see before you buy it, they don't have a great history of reliability.
Dealers can fix them bro it’s not big of the deal my GMC has a problem with the lifters and it’s was fixed and didn’t have again and I have over 106,000 miles running great
You should be lobbying your management like mad to invest in electric powertrains if you want to keep a job in the car industry. ICE sales are declining globally while EV sales grow ever upwards. I wish you every success during the inevitable transition to electric vehicles.
@@kiae-nirodiariesencore4270 where I live it would make sense to invest in EV car. The province is nearly zero emissions for energy production except for natural gas to balance are renewable energies.
Hopefully it will be more reliable than the lousy 5.3 V8....... intake valve issues, soft camshafts (Frankenstein's monster sliding camshafts with cylinder deactivation - yikes!) , lifter failures..... been going on for years and GM never fixes the problems, because as we all know, 'nobody sweats the details at GM.' Junk engines, class action lawsuits on transmissions..... no thanks.
@@toddgill2338Yet they build millions upon millions of the 5.3 and most don't have issues. I just traded my Silverado 2016bin on a 24 5.3 and had Zero issues with the 2016 up to 160k miles. You only hear about the failures never the ones that don't which estimates are less than 5% failure which is plenty of vehicles when you build millions. If it were so bad why does GM sales continue upward? As far as the transmission is concerned my 16 had zero problems and we shall see how well this 10 speed does.
@@kiae-nirodiariesencore4270Going to take 40 years at the rate we are going. All evs only isn't the answer as many are finding out now especially the used car market since Tesla is 12 years old. Nobody wants a used EV if you have to buy a 20k-35k battery. The 35k battery is in the Hummer and new Silverado. Good luck replacing those. It's a Huge problem now.
Continuing to make a v8 is a good idea because one people will keep buying and two when we get close to 2035 the push for electric vehicles may be completely abandoned and they’ll never miss a beat
@@phileasler5401 electricity doesn’t work like that. They would have to revamp the whole power grid and that’s not cheap or fast at least 4-5 years of work
They will be around for a long time, just at an expensive price point like how they are keeping the V8, V10, and V12 engines alive by making them hybrid while also putting the price point at $300K which these cars are manufactured by top luxury/performance brands (Cadillac, Mercedes-Maybach, Lamborghini, Porsche etc.)
Im extremly disapointed in the 5.3 right now. My 2020 Silverado 5.3 has been at the dealer since Christmas over lifter issues. Just bring back the normal V8. No more dfm!!!
With 50,000 miles on my 2019 I’ve had no issues yet.but I’ve heard of some 2021 models having problems from new. I do always hit the start stop deactivate button every time I start it, it can’t be good for the engine I don’t care what they claim. it even shuts of at stops on a cold day when it’s half warmed up.
2015 6.2 silverado LTZ failed lifters cylinders 4 and 7 Full AFM delete with a BTR cam and LS7 lifters. This truck is like it should have been all along. AFM should be an option. GM for life.👍👍🏁🏁
OMG! There's Hope yet. I've been an owner of 3 2500 trucks over the years. I still have two of them ones a 2011 2500 HD 4 x 4 Z71 and the other is a 2017 2500 HD 4X2. I almost gave up on the brand. So there's hope in the horizon and I'm going to give GM another chance. But even if the new V8 comes out in two years I'm going to probably will have to wait another year or two to see if there's no issues. But at least there's hope in the horizon. I will be waiting.
You can’t risk buying a the first year lol…. I feel ya . I have a 2014 Sierra….. it’s had every recall and common issue they are known for . I bet I’ve spent 10k in repairs since I’ve had it and I’m only at 135k miles . It’s scary
Biofuels(alternate fuels ) are the real future sounds crazy but makes more sense ICE engines can run on other fuels besides gasoline it just hasn't been pushed but once the lithium supply is not enough they'll come around you'll see 😉.
Recently, Toyota is developing a sodium-ion battery and is totally scrapping lithium-ion technology. This is very interesting, as sodium is much more available than lithium.
I like the idea of EV’s as one tool in the toolbox. They’re not a stand alone solution to a very complex question. Which seems to be the narrative manufactures have wanted to push. That said, I’m Definitely looking forward to the 25’ Silverado.
@The Raging Panda Presents " They’re not a stand alone solution to a very complex question." What is the "very complex question"? New ICE vehicles will be sold for at least another 12 years, but eventually they will go the way of the Horse and Buggy. Tesla Cybertruck will out tow a F-150, with ease, both power and range. EVs have such an advantage over ICE, there is little comparison. A small EV motor is way more powerful than a V8. Just spend a little time understanding the engineering and you will see. Most of the EVs out now, are just Gen 1, the real tech is coming soon and that should change more Gearheads minds. One of the main reasons Legacy Auto wants to make the transition to EVs, is Profit. EVs are easier and cheaper to make. More importantly, they require a lot smaller workforce, facilities and supply chains. EVs will probably change up how Dealerships works, because there it virtually no annual maintenance required.
One thing I've learned in the last four decades is that when the Government says they're going to accomplish something "in the next 10 years", that really means "it'll never happen". Come 2035, there will still be plenty of gasoline vehicles for sale in the United States.
yes please! I drive a 2015 5.3 engine sierra first owner and never been happier however I decided not to upgrade to newer model due to the continuous break down of the new engines. I hope this news will make me finally upgrade. thanks for the news man. big fan of your channel
@ramaswamynarayanaswamy4806 it's already been more reliable than when chevy introduced them, seen hundreds with 200k or more already out here in the oilfield with just the VVT tick they're notorious for. Usually they die by overheating or get run out of oil and throw a rod. We get a lot of em because the dealer's like 2-3 years out out here
I really wish it was someone else trying to keep the v8 other than GM. AFM, Collapsed lifters, etc. Best v8's to me are the 5.0 Ford V8 and the 5.7 Tundra. Once of the more durable and highly used V8s was the ford 281. Great motor, Ultra reliable. I still own two, One in a 98 Lincoln mark 8 and one in a 98 cobra mustang.
Agreed 100% brother, also don't forget the 4.6L SOHC 2V Modular V8 in the mighty Ford Panther Platform (Ford Crownvic, Mercury Grand Marquis, and Lincoln Town Car).
@@hughwolfe8524 I have a 2011 Ford F150 with a 5.0L Coyote V8 with 150,000 miles on it and still going strong and it's a beast and it sounds like a beast with the Borla Exhaust as well.
@@adamdodsy84 yes , the first 5.0 coyote , 2012, weak connecting rods, Ask Ford , they were the ones who mentioned it, and changed to thicker connecting rods , it's pretty well known, personally I've not seen one that has thrown a rod ,or actually it's breaking a connecting rod. But supposedly they did have some that did, so Ford changed it , that is a fact
@@CJColvin excellent, I've wanted one, Ford claimed it was potentially a problem and changed to thicker connecting rods, supposedly they could break.. I've not ever seen one that has, but it's straight from Ford , I'm glad to know, cause I've been wanting one, and I dont want to pay for a new one , I was thinking 11'- to 13' would be great
As you well know, Marty, pickups and SUVs generate the revenue needed to further pursue EVs. Even though GM estimates all EVs by 2035, it's smart to keep ICE alive as a contingency plan. Great video!
THE LS A GENERIC FORD MOTOR. A REGURGITATED 427 FORD HIGHRISER ENGINE AKA 351 WINDSOR WITH RAISED PORTS. WHAT PATENTS OF FORD DESIGNS THAT HAVE RUN OUT. WILL GM COPY NEXT TO CREATE THE NEW V8 ENGINE.
I’ve said elsewhere that if GM drops an internal combustion engine into mis-badged Silverado EV/Avalanche, I’d be a buyer in a hot minute. Meanwhile the 10 year old Avalanche is purring along…..and I’ll repower before I go electric.
Your right. I still see 20 year old Avalanches running around. They made a killing off of them. Who knew hollowing out the back end of a Suburban would sell so well. Plus a V8 Avalanche/Hummer wouldn’t weigh 9000 pounds or more and wouldn’t cost a $120000 before taxes
Yeah, they can still produce ICE engines way past 2035 and still meet those zero-emissions targets thanks to the introduction of synthetic fuels that are made with renewable energy; because these fuels are used by converting carbon emissions into fuel, the burning of this fuel in ICE engines is thus considered zero emission for EPA purposes . As long as those engines run on these synthetic fuels they're good to go; since most (if not all) of GM's engines can already run on up to E85, it's not too much of a stretch to say they'll be designed to run on 100% renewables well before the deadline.
This is great news, 👍power grids seem to be overwhelmed at times.and only 1% of vehicles on the road doing 500 to 1000 miles a day are e.v. 👎bring on the 6th and 7th generation of the little motor! How about a reboot for the big block? 8.1 to like an 8.7 let's get in a new Duramax Diesel ⛽️ too, a 7.1 would do the trick! Let's have a Hummer that is a Diesel/E V. Diesel for the long drive and E.V. for the city drives. ?🤔✌🏻🇨🇦.
Interested to see what they can do to the 6.2L v8. Loving it in my new Sierra 1500 Denali. I'll be watching to see what the next generation refresh brings to the lineup before I go for a new truck. Hoping that they can give us at least a bit more HP while at least not making the fuel efficiency any lower. Increasing both would be a HUGE win.
That old pushrod single cam motor is way past it’s relevant days. Chevy engineers have already decided to ditch that antique in the corvette. Maybe the trucks will get a engine design from this century like the dohc they put in the z06
@@35RSkyline AFM is previous generation/version of the engine. DFM replaced it with the generation starting in 2019. There's no [current] way to "disable" it since the Pulsar LT module isn't yet available for the refreshed trucks. Right now I'm leasing the truck, so modifying it is kind of out. Once the Pulsar LT module IS updated, I'll be looking at it again. That being said, there's a reason why you have a warranty on the power train. There was another video put out by another content creator about the auto stop/start and the starters (and people's fear of them failing early due to that). Basically, it's unfounded fears.
@@leehancock2782 last issue was a few months back with lots of new trucks needing lifters before 4-5k. but yes has been a epa mandated issue too long dodge has the same issues also with their system and cams and lifters
These dual drivlines are not working like intended. The electric motor has plenty of RELIABLE power and torque. A small Honda specifically wound minigen, built in, would provide an almost endless range.
The push Rod engine has run its course, and they should move to over head cam. Not to mention with overhead Cam, that would eliminate the sticky lifter, and potentially bent push rod problems...
I think they V8 engine will be like a lobster when it comes to the market and consumerism. Lobsters back in the day was common food for the poor, now it’s an expensive piece of meat. The V8 will be at a limited production (to pass emissions and limit pollution), but will be produced by mostly top luxury car brands and other car manufacturers that will use the V8 for a high trim model. Starting around $80K and as up to $300K.
This is a tough call when it comes to pushrods. On one hand, pushrod engines have served GM well over the years. And pushrods are something GM knows very well. This gives GM a great incentive to keep on building pushrod engines. On the other hand, it is tougher to design and build a pushrod engine that simultaneously produces good performance while keeping emissions low. This is very likely one reason why the Z06 Vette went OHC. And the fact that they DID essentially build a whole new DOHC smallblock suggests that GM may have reached the end of the line in terms of what they can accomplish with pushrods. The LT6 could in fact be the first of the Gen VI engines. Of course, another possibility is an engine that could be either. This wouldn’t be terribly difficult to do, and would allow GM to use pushrods for lower power utilitarian-type engines (like trucks) while having the option for OHC in cars.
EV's are all fine and dandy, but they just aren't practical for a large chunk of people to own one. Like me,I live a short distance from work, so I don't need to spend that much on gas. I also like to go wheelin up in the mountains. Probably not gonna take an EV up there, especially if it's cold. Those EV don't get the stated range in colder conditions. I saw a video where a guy went from Akron to Cleveland and back on a full charge when it was snowing outside. The battery was down to 45% by the time he got back. That's less than 100 miles. He didn't say how much he drove around Cleveland while he was there. Hey...You know where the best area to live in Cleveland is? Right in the middle. That way, any direction you go........you're leavin.🤣🤣
Dodge does. Sounds like an over run sewing machine in the vid. Mabey better in person except the crowd didn't seem to intrigued. It has been the law for about 2 yrs EVs make a noise while driving around pedestrians. Phone walkers step out... Teslas have lots of choices. Pro dragster rummbling away to the Jetsons family bubble car burbling away. Or even make it endlessly fart if that's your thing. Many " exhaust" choices in a Tesla
I love the idea of an efficient v8 coupled with some type of hybrid electric performance assist like in the corvette ERay. The performance potential is there with no real range or charging headaches.
They (GM/Ford) should develop PHEV Trucks/Cars. This way people can use the battery only to get to from work with say a 60 mile range and use gas when needed. Toyota is doing this which makes more sense than ALL electric cars/trucks.
You can’t call it a zero emissions line up If each car is about 2 1/2 times more emissions than a gas car for production That’s not a problem for one car versus one car it takes about 5 years to pay that back But for a new set of 250,000 cars each year Multiply that by 2 you’ve got the emissions of 500,000 cars every year but in reality you got half that
This is a reality moment for GM and I think most other car/truck manufacturers. Lately more and more of the short comings of EVs have been made public such as drastic reduced range when towing and in cold weather. Long charge times and high prices at fast chargers which still take far more time to recharge than people are use to compared to filling up current gas engine vehicles. I see the EVs currently on the market as throw away vehicles due to huge cost of replacing a spent or failed battery pack. Realistically I think the hybrids are a much better choice for reducing overall pollution. Hybrid batteries are much smaller and cheaper to replace. The engines in hybrids are very small and produce far less emissions, no charging stations are needed as the vehicle self charge. Hybrids are much easier to scale up or down to fit the variety needs that people and industry need without the restriction of pure electric vehicle. As time goes by pure electric may over come the draw backs. Time will tell.
For EVs, we need better Batteries and Graphene-Aluminum Batteries are already in development so we'll see these being a thing sometime. For ICE's, there's Microwave Spark Ignition and the benefits online show no emissions and they demonstrated Plasma Spark Ignition deal with emissions entirely or so it appeared when they turned on the plasma, want to see that explored.
GM better be getting rid of the AFM/DFM and all the horrendous issues the 5.3 and 6.2 have been having with collapsed lifters. Care more about reliability then pure power that is a crap shoot at best. I’ll take a 5 year 100k power train warranty across the board with all their vehicles.
This video failed to mention quality control or lack their of @ GM. Thats why I dont own a GM vehicle. (Garbage Motors). I whish they would step up the quality.
@@jeffmiller3150 First of all this article is about GM, but yes Toyota is experiencing problems with their 5.7 V8's , so yep even Toyota isn't as perfect & reliable as they used to be, still better than GM, Ford & Mopar though.
This is Great News, Really Great News 👍 I am a Gas engine, preferably V-8 engine, Car guy…I currently own a pampered 2015 Silverado 4x4 LTZ Crew Cab, fully optioned, with the Awesome 6.2 V-8, along with a three year old Chevy Impala LTZ Premier, also 😢fully optioned, with the powerful, yet economical V-6, and a very low mileage 2002 Mercedes-Benz SL 500, which is the last year of the Bruno Sacco designed 129 Series, and yes, it was offered with either a gas powered V-8, or V-12 Powertrain…the V-12, was the SL 600. I share all this, because I/we prefer, and enjoy gas powered vehicles, and in the 1980’s we also enjoyed, and respected Mercedes-Benz diesel powered automobiles, the five cylinder series, to be exact. I, along with several folks I’ve spoken with the past year, have no want, of an EV car, truck or SUV, or a lawn tractor, for that matter…We all happen to feel, as you do, that 2035 may sound great, for politics, but most are thinking it will be more like 2050, with Gas engines still available, from Ford and GM, especially in SUV’s and Trucks. I want to Thank you for your most Informative videos, as a GM guy, who truly appreciates your keeping us, In the know, in a factual, entertaining format…Please keep up the Great work.
I think you are spot on! I think the corvette engineer said the new exhaust note from the flat plane crank will be debated for generations to come (you'd only say this if you are going all flat plane in trucks too). It will be like no other mass produced engine out there. We can only hope!
@@rollenbu I'm fairly certain the flat plane crank was necessary to get the magic intake manifold to work. Evens out the firing order. The VE at peak torque is 110%! Plus it sounds cool. Not sure they can get vibration under control enough for a truck motor to keep any of that.
@@johnnicol8598 Great points, that's why I thought they'd go flat plane for even trucks to keep it NA, the 110% VE at peak torque eliminates need for forced induction. It will be interesting to see what Gen 6 looks like, hopefully they can put some balancers on it and let it rip for truck duty. Still might be too much vibration though...so maybe it'll still be OHV. Can't wait to hear what they will come with.
I truly hope GM isn't betting the farm on everyone driving evs LOL. GM needs to make the new v8 a pushrod engine and not the ohc crap since their pushrod engine has been the leader of the pack since it's inception 69 years ago. 🤔🤔✌️✌️
@Jeff Miller Yes, they do. Advanced designs usually come with advanced repair bills. Pushrod engines are usually simple to diy and repair from my experience.
The big problem with GM is they need someone that uses a truck to design it and I do mean use it .Then explain why they haven't fixed the problem with the rusting out under the doors and cab corners before they are paid for.
If GM wants to turbo a 4 cylinder why not off turbo V6 and turbo V8 gas engines? The 2023 Colorado and Canyons only have turbo 4 cylinder gas engines so why not also offer a turbo V6 gas? Now that would be a beast
