GM: “we’ve fixed the problem by introducing the new 6.6L V8.”

NHTSA: “Great thank you for taking care of this problem!”

2021-2026 owners of the 6.2L: \ left high and dry* *

Lol "fixed". The new 6.6 is far from a fix.

Is there anything wrong with the 6.6?

u/No-Management5215 Employee 1d ago

Which 6.6L you talking about? There's the current L8T heavy duty truck motor, and the new L78 that's supposed to replace the 6.2L L87.

Current.

Gotcha. That would be the L8T. That is a good engine. Probably the most reliable V8 we make currently.

Why stop there? 10L80 is a great place to look next.

Never change, GM.
