The l5p are one of the best engines built!. Bought my 2019 with 2 miles and now I’m at 187k miles and no problems and still running good on 35s!. Best advice is to keep up with your maintenance and to fully delete the damn truck. The def is bullshit and only hurts the truck, that’s why I removed it because it gets way better mpgs and runs stronger, sounds a whole lot better too!. Any truck is trash if you don’t change the filters and don’t keep up with maintenance. Simple as that!.

I still have an lbz. My friends bought new 2017 and 2018 Denalis. They are very comfortable and powerful.......when they are on the road. Their trucks have been in the shop repeatedly, sometimes for months! They are now out of warranty and continue to be problematic. The vast majority of failures are dpf related. The costs have been incredible, exceeding $20k for out of warranty repairs. Both friends are considering ordering new 2022 models due their belief that previous problems have been addressed.

Gale Banks was Heavily involved in the development of the LP5 Build along with a Racing background Engineer, I can’t remember the name but Mr. Banks tells it that it’s the best out there right now. Now that being said, I have Owned every Version of GM Diesel Engines since the 6.2 Conversion to the 21 LP5 and I honestly believe this one has the most power along with fuel mileage. I get 24 out of my 21 crew also the 19 not as good but still good, my 14 gets about 21 but is a 3500 HD Crew I use to Haul Equipment around Michigan. Another thing is Bob Cross God Rest His Soul was the Engineer at GM who actually was on the 502 Crate Design also He Himself Created the Heads That NASCAR Required Use. That being said he told me that in Milford GM Proving Grounds they put every after Market System on the Duramax and Could Not Blow one Up at all. You name the Company and GM Tried their Product on the Duramax to try to Blow one up. The only issue ever that I know was Injectors in 2003 and the Turd Fuel Pump the CP4 which is on my 14 which needs converted over but Diesel Pros who does all our Company Repair Shop Burned to the Ground. Luckily for Us and Matt the Owner had good Insurance so they broke ground across the road the very next day so he could get his Customers work completed. He lost Millions of Property along with Nine Bays that all had Trucks in them, lost several in the parking area from intense Heat. A short story long is as soon as he is able the conversion will get done alone with new Head Gaskets or maybe even a New Crate 6.6 who knows.

I have a friend that started to have dpf issues with his 2017 L5P i have a 2020L5P he only weekend drives his and has i belive 50000 miles, mine has 31000miles no issues, when he started to have dof issues the display on the dash told him he had a certain amount of miles to get to the shop something like that. I told him bring it by my house and hook on to my gooseneck dump trailer go out to the rock quarry and bring me two loads of rocks, now grated he was restricted at 60-65mph if i remember right, and from the quarry up to my house is mostly all hills with large grades needless to say after the second load halfway to my house the code for dpf cleared. This comes to my conclusion that theses trucks cant be babied they have to actually be worked and not road princessed out.

The 6.6 Motor was being built in Ohio but the Heads are Cast by Isuzu. Then get delivered to GM Plant in Ohio then put together here then shipped to the Truck Plant in Flint where they are put into the trucks. The very best Is the LP5 to date. But the have never had a bad motor, fuel pumps were junk for a while.

So, after listening to your summation of the exhaust manifold issue and the resultant damage, I’d suggest that it would be fair to suggest that the fault is partially a result of the customer driving too far with a leaking exhaust manifold? I have to believe that any manifold suffering that kind of damage (1/4” right?) made noise... My take away from this is that if it sounds wrong it is... take it in and get it fixed! They might have saved themselves a lot of money if they acted promptly. Am I wrong?
