| Although I hate to judge before all the facts are in, it does not sound like the greatest idea in the world. Maybe as an additional vehicle to play around with on the side it would be OK. | |||||
| Answer to: Best Half-ton truck diesel engine? | 21Relevance | 4 years ago | Dad2LM2 | Submit Your Question HERE | |
| Welcome to the forum. This question is coming up a lot on the forum these days, I imagine because fuel prices are so crazy. I did that calculus 6 months ago. From what I can tell, the 3.0 duramax is the best of breed. I’m not generally a GM fan. My previous truck was a 2014 Tundra and I always assumed that I would get another one. But when the new Tundra came out, it had some engine problems and a serious supply deficit, so I looked at Ram, Ford, and GM. Eventually bought a 2022 Sierra. The 3.0 duramax is exactly as described in the reviews: smooth, ... | |||||

| Other than it being overpriced for what it is (IMO), Unlike the old duramax V8 built together with Isuzu, these ones were developed by German Opel in Italy. (So it's an engine based of 1.5L 3cyl, and 2.0L 4cyl high-tech German-Italian units. doesn't sound promising.) As it seems this LM2 engine was first used in 2018/2019 and is already getting replaced next year - sounds bad... The same happened with Opel's smaller versions, they immediately replaced it. (ironically, the engines Opel replaced it with are made by Ford) Both of its creators jus ... | |||||

| ... to have plenty of punch loaded to the brim with pipefitting junk. with heavy payload and towing capacity for his boat on the weekends. The engine options are: 6.0L Vortec V8 W/6 speed HD auto, 4.3L V6 W/8 speed auto, or the 2.8L duramax 4 banger w/8 speed. I was thinking Vortec, just because it's a V8. but if anyone has any experience with the other engines, please, let me know! We don't need outrageous power here... A turboed 4 cylinder diesel in a 3/4 ton truck seems like a recipe for disaster, and it would pain me as a Powerstroke boy to get a duramax. ... | |||||

| I am seeing those 2.8L babymax colorados coming down in price now and kind of want the zr2 version. My current daily (80km round trip work drive) vehicle is a 2016 cx5 gt. would i be a total idiot to replace it with an out of warranty, our of production chev? especially if parts of those diesels might not be made any longer. cheers. (many on sale are in 60-100k mile range. i need something to be worry free for at least 60k miles). i get it the engines might be ok, being part isuzu, but what about all the other things on it? bearings, bushings, trans, accessories on the motor, etc? | |||||

| Been looking around at getting a pickup similar to the Chevrolet Colorado. While the gas equivalent has had numerous reliability issues (most notably in the V6 models transmission), in my own personal research I have found people praising it saying that it's quite a reliable vehicle. Wanted to hear the opinions of these forums though. Would most likely be buying from a dealer, ideally with either the Z71 or the ZR2 trim. | |||||

| Answer to: Ticking noise brand new 2022 Duramax engine! | 12Relevance | 3 years ago | AutoDIY | Submit Your Question HERE | |
| Ford has a similar issue with their Coyote 5.0 engines (typewriter tick) that shows up after the first oil change. Some engines are affected. some are not. Something is going on with these newer engine designs. I have yet to see anyone tear down one of these motors and determine if there really is an issue or not. Since the typewriter tick is not present in a brand new engine until the oil has been changed, GM and Ford are not being entirely truthful. What is changing after the oil change? Is the oil they use from the factory masking it? I'm guessing their engineers know what the issue is, and it's a small enough problem that engine longevity isn't affected (from their perspective at least). | |||||

| Owned a diesel Mercedes 240D once and I've operated diesel tractors, this noise still surprised me. Yes, a diesel will typically sound louder than a gasoline engine, but this noise "started'' after his 3rd oil change??? That in itself seems strange to me. I agree @imperator , "It's too ambiguous" | |||||
