Default 2022 Silverado ZR2, L87 failure

So, back at Christmas with 3620 miles, the main on the camshaft failed on my 6.2. It’* been bricked ever since on the rack at the dealership. They finally shipped an engine that is somewhere between Memphis and Louisiana.

any similar experiences?

Some take several months to get the parts.

That'* good news, and better if you are somewhere near those.

It looks like there are some lifter failures and a few bent pushrods out there, but not a lot considering the production numbers. The word out there seems to be that the L87 is a better design, reliability wise, than the L86. I think it'* too new to know yet.

Default Progress

Motor L87 is en rt from Detroit to La. 2nd time—sent back to Detroit by GM after FedEx lost it.

fingers crossed delivery Wednesday to dealership and truck back this weekend.

if not, I’m filing lemon law with DMV. We are at 2 months as of the 25th.

Default To answer earlier question

What failed was main bearing on camshaft. No oil starvation issues per the dealership
