On this episode of #DGsTV, Dustin talks about the Gen 4 GM Engine Platform.
What does the technology look like and what can you expect when purchasing a new truck?
We've seen a lot of these in the shop recently, and thought we'd share!

Funny to see this video released a few days after a class action lawsuit was filed against all these AFM issues .

2017 6.2L GMC Sierra, 55,000 miles, lifter failure after 59 months of use and bent pushrod. Bought new, always serviced with full synthetic Mobil 1 and Mobil 1 filter. Would be interested to know failure rate of AFM/DOD lifters. Seems only a matter of time before a lifter is lost/fails. Debating how to move forward. Only symptom was ticking noise, no codes, no misfires.

The afm system is not the only troublesome area of the 4th gen LT V8 engines .. the variable displacement oil pumps have a high failure rate as well ... My 2015 Sierra 5.3L went through 3 oil pump assemblies in 4 months before I traded the truck off . Poorly designed and engineered parts. GM's QDR has gone down hill . Very disappointing

In theory, a good idea. Were they able to pull it off with reliability or longevity? Not a chance. GM started this in 2007. To bad the class action lawsuits dont cover that far back. Lot of people got ripped off. GMs fault? Not entirely. Federal government constantly pushing manufactures for increased fuel efficiency standards. Who ultimately pays for these failures? The consumer
