For me it comes down to this. What are the facts and figures and who's providing them? If engineers...sorry, no. You lost me already as they're not an independent source. Not the truck world at all but many companies have been sued for planned obsolescence, cough Apple, some of them larger than...

That's a good video. I'm curious about the people like myself withe same engine not recalled ...should we swap to 0w40 too? I wonder what the MPGs would look like after the swap. It has been a while since I watched some of his content and I forgot that he has at times in his past worked...

Hmm as I said the other day, my truck has had ZERO recalls in its life. 2021 Sierra. My dad's 2021 F150 ... Somewhere north of 22 with some trims over 25. Never been a big consumer reports fan but I don't know. Seems odd.

Here's the best video yet on breaking down the recall with info currently available: My truck has a build date of 2/21 ... so 1 month before the parts were bad. Sweet. Dodged that bullet back to only worrying about lifters. The most interesting part of the video, the parts were machined...

That's hilarious, I've been finding myself doing the exact same thing and it's a little bit out of a lack of time. I can jump into the comments see the first few and get a jist for what the video is about and the angle they're taking.

My uneducated opinion is that the lifters are directly tied to the fact that they are collapsible to allow for AFM, DFM and whatever RAM calls it. They took what for decades was a solid component and turned it into a two-piece collapsible lifter entirely dependent upon oil pressure and...

@testerdahl What do you think about Toyota and now GM ...with plenty of others before. Ignoring obvious consumer complaints and serious issues until the NHTSA, and lawsuits, steps in and forces the manufacturer's hand with a safety issue? This recall doesn't even touch the lifter issues GM...

I don't disagree with you. My hunch would tell me they knew about the problem and like most manfucaturers hoped it was minor and that factory warranties would take care of the issue for anyone experiencing it. I also believe they knew exactly how many of these issues existed and possibly exist...

The more I'm reading it seems like this might be a common misconception. Mexico does full engine and transmission assemblies along with final assembly of the vehicle. I keep reading that a lot of Mexican trucks have US built engines and transmissions but I can't find where anyone is finding that...

Remind me how to look that up, it doesn't seem to be in the VIN info when doing a lookup? Window sticker?

It's interesting, I follow a guy on YT Donslife. He has a 2021 GMC Sierra, same truck as mine, and has done a TON of mods to it. He also has a 2022 Escalade. The Escalade had the recall his truck didn't. I'm hearing rumors that this is mainly affecting US made trucks out of Fort Wayne. Mine was...

A few years back I started dumping every single website that introduced a paywall. Now I'm free lol.

I forgot to add, I love the truck content. I was happy to see a video comparing trucks even if it was a gripe session. HAving a full size and a mid size side by side was a good idea. Are you going to shoot more videos with the AT4X? MPG, Likes/Dislikes, Off roading, etc.?

Good video Tim, we of course could pick up the hints of mocking but the points are still made. I tend to agree with a lot of your comments but where you really nailed it I think were the packaging complaints around options. The canyon of course comes back slightly towards reality with the...

That's awesome! Congratulations!

My truck is a 2021 Sierra with the 6.2 no notification in my app. I read somewhere that they're not going to be rolling out actual recall notices until June. I think this will be steps and the first step is to check all existing inventory and then they'll move on to owners, just a hunch.

Yeah that was one of the things they missed too

Excited to watch this one, I watched TFL's video this morning and thought they missed a lot of the fine print and important details.
