GM’s 2.7L L3B Engine | Common Problems, Complaints, & Reliability

[@acdc5579]

Got a 2023 Silverado Crew cab 2.7 Liter with 18,000 miles on it. I bought it new and love it. No problems with it so far. I would buy it again. I am getting a 21-mpg fuel economy average . I don't baby it either. The truck delivers everything I need it to do.

[@neilwalker3921]

I have A 2023 Silverado Regular Cab Long box and I am lucky to get 16-17 mpg on regular 87 octane. I am about to join the class action lawsuit. This is the worst truck I have ever owned. The brakes on most of these trucks is also that new all electric assist POS and it has been an unreliable cow for me too. This lemon just stalled on a busy road for me tonight and would not re-start and came back to the dealer on a tow truck.

[@billjones373]

Power has a cost. 300HP is going to drink a certain amount of gas no matter the cylinder count. People need to stop thinking 4 cylinders is automatically fuel efficient. Lifetime average in my case was 18.7 miles per gallon so not far off on 87 regular. I had the 2021 version of this engine and just replaced the truck because of (surprise) collapsed lifter issue. Decided after dealing with 8-speed transmission issues since Day 1 I wasn’t willing to start down a road with the fuel management stuff anymore. Had to replace lifter bank and both camshafts. Sold it back to the dealer and got a 6.6L gas. Old school pushrod V8 with no cylinder deactivation no active fuel management and no start stop garbage.

[@sirwes2924]

@@8020Media You are wrong on the octane btw. The head engineer of this engine in an interview on KZbin stated the 2.7 was designed and engineered to run on 87 octane, he also said "If you are using anything other than 87, you are wasting your money". This is his exact words. Now if you was to get a 3rd party Tune and have it Dyno tuned on 91 or 93 then sure, but the factory tune will not make use of the higher octane. Now I agree with the fuel mileage, I'm getting around 23 hwy and about 20 combined. I've had numerous 5.3's and I test drove a new 5.3 and the 2.7 back to back twice before going with my 2.7. I went with it because it does get better fuel mileage and it does have better power where you need it, the 2.7 just felt faster and more powerful off the bottom. My only real complaint is it sounds lackluster.

How many miles on it?

[@Holden-McGroin]

I don’t know, man, I kind of have to disagree with a lot of this. Coming from a Silverado with the 5.3L/6sp in it to a Canyon At4 with the 2.7L/8sp, The canyon drives so much better. It’s not even comparable. I know it’s technically a smaller truck, but it only weighs 500 pounds less than the full size. With 30 K on the canyon, my overall average MPG is just under 20, and I do not baby this truck at all. the Silverado with a small lift, 1” taller tires was lucky to get 15. If you’re an aggressive driver, the eight speed actually does what you want it to do, unlike most automatic transmissions. I absolutely hated the six speed in the Silverado. The combination of the 2.7L/8sp in manual mode is just an absolute blast on the back roads, it’s like driving a go kart. I would never go back to a small V8 after having this turbo, but I completely understand why the boomers don’t like it.

[@johnlittle6711]

I went from a 2014 4.3 6 speed to the 2024 2.7 upgraded 8 speed. Both trucks are single cab 6.6 bed. The 6 speed was rough as hell since day one. The 8 speed is nice and smooth so far.fuel mileage is similar between the two trucks. The 2.7 has a lot more power obviously.

[@spikenasty]

I have a 2020 2.7L, and honestly I love it. No issues up to 75k miles (I know that seems like a new engine at this point), outside of a little oil burn but not surprising with a turbo. My 8-speed seems smooth, but I am doing all the recommended maintenance. I love how responsive this engine is and prefer it over the last couple of trucks I've had. Only downfall is prior to 2021 they are only rated to tow 6600lbs, which for me is fine, but I feel like it takes a lot of people who want a truck out of that market. The 2020's take regular gas, and I get 19/20-23 mpg.

I'll stick to V-8, and N.A. V-6 engines. less complication, and better longevity

[@ramonpena3011]

Premium fuel not only can give you the maximum operating efficiency from the engine, but it can prevent engine knocking which can destroy engines, another thing is that Premium fuel have specific additive package that helps to keep injectors healthier and ven the highpressure fuel pump. So don't be cheap on gasoline. Another tip is change your oil every 5,000 miles or every 6 months, if you think that is expensive try to learn how to change it yourself if possible, is true that motor oil is better than ever, but new engines require a good quality and clean oil to avoid problems.

[@8020Media]

@@ravenovatechnologies6554 - I saw a video of a GM engineer talking about the 2.7. Engine built for a turbo -rather than tacked on later- electric water pump so you don't need to let it run to cool, etc. Torque curve is awesome. It all makes sense on paper. Problem is, most people driving a pickup aren't towing anything and want simplicity and longevity. You can still get a v-8, but still seems like the 2.7 is a one size fits all solution basically. For most people it's a lot of complexity and cost for little benefit. I wonder if there should be some product distinction between trucks that'll tow and haul things, and trucks that never will. I dunno, but yeah marginally better things for high cost that will be expensive to maintain in time is scary.

[@Jody-kt9ev]

He mentions the Ford Eco boost engines. I have seen all kinds of videos on the problems with these. I suspect this will be the same, most not lasting more than 100,000 miles without major problems. This kind crap is why I see quite a few old Ford Rangers and other older trucks driving around still. As rust is not an issue in Texas, where I live, people keep these old trucks. They are more reliable and less expensive to fix than modern trucks.

My work truck is a 21 Silverado with the turbo 4 and it's right at 48k miles. It's throwing a misfire on cylinder 2 code had a shop verify it's not misfiring. Only happens when sudden excelerating and then back off the throttle. It's also developed what I would call a lifter tick at low idle but ifl bump the rpm up very slightly it goes away. The sound is quite annoying. Was thinking about getting a Canyon but if that issue is going to show up it has me thinking twice.

My 2018 Silverado 2x4 with the 6 speed transmission gets 15 city 23 hwy and 13 towing the same trailer. I think people are complaining because they expect the 4 to get better highway mpg but given the two trucks I have the 4 is at least 20 percent more efficient than the v8. Especially with all the extra drag from the 4s 4x4 power train and larger cab.

The engine was over built around the turbo instead of the other way around to be more reliable. Its the only GM engine to pass the million mile torture test. It was specifically built for the redesigned mid size trucks. It did so well in testing they put in the full size which gave GM 2 years to work out any issues. Considering how many are on the road now, any issues are minimal at this point.

[@8020Media]

Also, there is a recall on it that will get fixed for free...doesn't change the fact that the 10spd is a lot smoother, people like it more, and the 8-speed is more prone to failure outside of warranty that isn't covered by a recall. The trans causing the rear wheels to lock up isn't catastrophic transmission failure, it literally just requires a software update...not a hardware issue like the 8-speeds have.

Why would GM put AFM on a 4 banger? It should be getting near 4 cylinder economy off boost when cruising.

[@8020Media]

J - Agreed..

[@PastafarianGod]

The city fuel economy is dismal. But the highway and backroad is fantastic. I think they use the turbos way too much when you're starting from a stop. I get 2-3 mpg while accelerating no matter how fast or slow I come up to speed. I average 21.6 mpg after 13,000 miles. Highway trips are routinely 25+ mpg. I also don't think premium gas makes a discernable difference in fuel economy. In a naturally aspirated 5.7 hemi engine in at best got 1 mpg more running premium. In my maverick with the 2.0L I actually got 1 mpg worse with premium. With the GM 2.7 it made no discernable difference, like .2-.4 mpg depending on the tank.

WARNING im a GM enthusiast and this will be long winded...My dad just bought a 2024 Chevy Colorado with the 2.7. he has had 5 Colorados (a 2005 sold with 300k+, a 2011 sold at 140k, a 2016 sold at 135k, and a 2020 sold at 80k)and has had good luck with them for the most part. He had zero problems with the first three trucks. Until his 2019 w/ the v6 and 8 speed started having torque converter issues. I warned him that the 8 speed was failure prone and the 2.7 was an unproven and problematic engine, but he didnt care and bought the 24' anyway. The biggest takeaway I can assess about the 2.7 is that GM is being forced to develop an engine for the future of their mid size and half ton trucks. These regulations will get so stringent that eventually the only engine option will be a 4 cyl. Unless some common sense deregulation is done, this is a sure way for vehicle reliability to take an even more significant hit.
