I used to be a chevy tech. Warranty covers defects in gm's materials and workmanship. In order to deny a warranty we have to prove that the modifications directly caused the issue at hand. I can certainly tell you that the tires, wheels, exhaust, will not cause a lifter issue. Go through chevy customer service and have them set up the repairs. The problem is the dealership you took it too is worried about bouncing the claim.

[@XeroCreator]

Ford dealers are the same, but it's only if you get a good one, some are like this and won't cover anything if you so much as change emblems on it... but it's all covered under warranty, unless it can be proven. Exhaust is unlikely, especially if it's an axle back.

[@TheWolfMatt]

Exactly correct. Some dealers just don't want the headache from dealing with anything modified (even in the slightest) due to a bad wrap on certain mods customers do to their vehicles. I do think that, if his ZR2 is going to stay for the long haul, that he sends it over to LMR for a nice heads/cam package with a trans mod for him to take care of the 6.2L valve and lifter issue permanently and pick up more power. But that's worst case scenario in that GM won't cover his repairs from a factory perspective. Having a nice choppy ZR2 on the channel would probably get more views to say the least. Besides, LMR does cover their work done to the vehicles they upgrade.

[@kennethoden7956]

I'd say take it to a further level with the dealership. Get GM involved and get that dealership fined

[@CaptainRudy4021]

What the dealership told you is illegal. They're legally required to prove that the modifications you made and how you used the truck had a direct contribution to the failure you're trying to fix under warranty before they void it.

[@Pilot545]

Yup! This! In violation of federal law if they don’t cover for the reasons they say. SCOTUS even ruled on it.

[@matthewgillies6936]

Prove to who the customer, that is for a court. In his own video he said there was a little stumble when he test drove it but no dyeing or miss firing, he said a little stumble. Which by the way it looks bad why would somebody modify a improperly running vehicle, you would have it fixed first. His problems did not surface until he modified it, proof is in the pudding! He could put the OEM exhaust back on and see if the problem persists, then maybe yes. Next question will be was the break in procedure followed if not than another strike.

[@CaptainRudy4021]

@@matthewgillies6936 a modified exhaust won't cause your lifters to go bad. All it does is make the truck louder. Even if you were right, the dealership has to definitively prove that the exhaust caused the lifter issue before they deny the warranty claim. It's the law. If they don't, then Bobby has the ability to sue them. Considering bad lifters is a known issue with the 6.2L V8, the exhaust had nothing to do with it. As for why he modified it before he got it fixed, two reasons: 1. He was told the problem would go away on its own, so he thought the truck was fine. 2. Us gearheads can't leave anything alone. If we own it, it's getting modified. No ifs ands or buts about it. If we're not modifying our vehicles, we're thinking about what mods we wanna do next.

It’s not the dealer. I had an issue with my Colorado ZR2 Bison. The dealer said the warranty was void because I drove it in mud (!!??!). It was on a public road, I wasn’t even off roading. I contacted GM and they were dreadful. They didn’t get back to me at all, despite chasing and chasing. Eventually they told me that they wouldn’t honor the warranty but refused to directly say why, or put their answer in writing. It is clearly their policy to delay and be as awkward as possible, on the principle that most customers will eventually give up. I explained the circumstances to my local Ford dealer who said that Ford would 100% definitely cover a car in the same circumstances. I sold the ZR2 and bought a Bronco.

That’s frustrating. Lifters are a widespread and well known issue in the new GM V8s. This should be a no questions asked repair under warranty. Exhaust and tires have nothing to do with the DFM lifters going bad.

[@TheWolfMatt]

I think they might be nervous about taking care of the repair since it'll most likely find its way to YT for all of us to view. We all know the lifter issue with the 6.2L, no stranger to it myself, modified or fully stock, this should be a "non issue" by GM to take care of.

[@garrettsmith7244]

Although it is mis diagnosed and not lifter failure. When the lifters fail on these trucks they will have an audible knock. If he was actually worried about his truck getting fixed he would look at my comment above. The TSB I mentioned is for surging under light throttle. It is more than like a failed magnet that controls the cam phaser.

Time to lawyer up. By law they have to prove the modifications directly caused the problem. In this case you have your videos describing the problem right after you got it so there can be no doubt nothing you did caused it. I can understand the ABS wire issue with the Colorado. While the damage occurred due to a bad design, they couldn't prove it was from the part actually being damaged, not a defective part. Driving through brush like you did isn't exactly something that normally occurs while off-roading. I still think the argument that it could just as easily have happened on a construction sight or whatever because they designed it with the wire hanging down in harms way but at least they have some argument for it. With the Silverado there's no way anything you've done could have damaged the lifters even if you didn't have evidence it's been a problem since day one. By admitting there is a problem and saying they won't repair it under warranty they are violating federal law.

[@EDV8ZR1]

Just he can just make him take it back as a lemon if you want to 5.3L whatever the 6.2L he has is defective he's pretty well explained that like you said the guy that sold it to him felt that way during the test drive. I know you can't get another ZR2 package because that's 6.2L only but if you want to 5.3L or 6.0L or a six-cylinder model for my Chevy giving the money back completely and get a Ford or a Dodge Ram or a Toyota Tacoma or Tundra trucks of lemon.

So true! A salesman is not a mechanic and usually has no idea how cars work. They will blame ANY issue on break in. There is no such thing as break in period any more, with the exception of suspension alignment during the first 500 miles of the car. While going to another dealer is not a bad option, usually if one dealer declined the repair, they'll put it online, so that all dealerships are aware. Your better option is to ask the dealer which declined it, or the second dealership to escalate it and get their dealer Rep involve, or call the customer assistance people and ask them to provide help and get the Dealer Rep involved

[@Dwealdric]

When I had my Jeep JK, I blew up the power steering pump being stuck in the mud. I sheepishly took it in to them and they covered it under warranty with NO QUESTIONS. I went to pick it up and the service manager says to me "Looks like while you were out there, you bashed your transmission pan on something. It was cracked and leaking. We replaced that one for you too under warranty." This thing was lifted, on 35s, aftermarket bumpers, winch, lights, radio, etc. tree scratches all down the sides of it, sliders all used hard underneath. They never gave me even a hint of trouble about warranty work or service. I am not all love for that Wrangler or Jeep as a whole, but I certainly can't complain about that level of service.

I have had 6 of the 6.2ls and never had an issue. My 2022 is by far my favorite with the 10spd. But reach out to your regional dealer rep and work with them....and inwould warn people about what local dealership is doing you dirty! To many bad dealerships out there!

Chevy has had junk lifter problems for years in the AFM engines . You have done nothing to the truck to void the warranty .

[@ryantannehill4060]

@@Danman1972 You are correct ! I just looked it up and it seems it is just in the 4 cylinder . Well hopefully its just a freak lifter problem and it not a major problem with a bunch of trucks sold already .

@@ryantannehill4060 My 08 has 265K and climbing on it... with the AFM. Motor is stock. First year maybe? That or 07. Don't recall. Looking to replace maybe. Don't know. I might toss another tranny or motor in it. If I do toss in a new motor it will likely have a AFM delete in it. It has issues with warping rotors, just starting lot leak oil. Drinks the oil and gas! The dash is cracked. I dealt with a water leaking in the cab issue (just age). I had a 96 gmc previous and loved that truck. That truck was why I bought the 08. Was hopping for better MPG, but they actually had the same trans as the old one. Combined the two have close to 500K between them. On the fence... currently looking at mid sized.... just not sure. Its defiantly decision time... sell now or sink some money (trans and at some point motor). I can't base it on MPG alone as the difference in what I get (14.5) verses new mileage is maybe 600 bucks a year? Just hate that a day ride with my dirt bike in the back is currently close 100 bucks or has been this summer at my favorite spot including gas for my dirt bike bike or park entry. Let alone the 14 hr (each way) haul to ride in the mountains were its cool.

I know my opinion doesn't matter to you and you will do what you want, which is fine, you should, but I think you need to switch to Ford or Dodge, at least give it a try.

[@iyaayas5097]

First off, the ONLY thing adding exhaust could void warranty wise, would be emissions related. Second, sounds like that specific dealership just doesn't want to take on the warranty work. They'd rather hope you accept what they say forcing you to pay out of pocket, which benefits them in a big way. I'm very happy you contacted Chevy directly! They know this is a known issue, and considering the miles as well as the fact that you mentioned this issue in the very first vid posted with the truck, there's absolutely no reason for them to deny you. I had an 09 G8 GT, which was known to have issues with the DOD. Older version of what you're dealing with. I was getting lifter noises and the local Pontiac dealer replaced the bad lifters. They didn't wait till the motor blew up. Only thing I didn't like, was that they only replaced the bad lifters instead of doing them all. Nonetheless, it was fixed under warranty. Keep us posted on what Chevy says and good luck brotha

Had a 2018 jeep jk that steering went out on at 4800 miles. Dealer stated "jeeps weren't designed to have those "big" tires on them." They were 35s, like the others that were brand new being sold on their lot. After researching, they found out, jeep steering box went out, on a test drive at 38 miles. I bought it with 75 miles. Jeep changed pump first time, leaving all the metal shavings to continue to fliw thru system. Idiots finally replaced pump, reservoir, and lines. Amazing the b.s. they try to come up with

[@BOOMusniped]

Its a super easy fix for GM, stop using AFM systems that have been failing for years. The lifters they us for the AFM are prone to failure, and would seem that the lifters are just getting worse and worse with ever new model made. The best thing to do to any modern GM v8 that has AFM is to just do a DOD delete.

Hmm, I've got about 5k miles on my 2022 Silverado Ltd (2021 rollover model) 6.2L Trail Boss, and I've not had a single issue. I've also added intake, oil catch can, cat back exhaust along with other stuff. I've not had a single issue, and even though 99% of the time I baby it, and have achieved 26.3MPG, I do have fun with the occasional flat foot time. My truck at 2 miles on the odometer when I bought it new from the dealership, and I didn't have a single issue. First WOT was done at about 270 miles on the odometer. REVISIONS: Uhh....sounds like you need a reprogram of the ECM, not a engine issue. If there was a engine issue, and the lifters (for the DFM) failed, it wouldn't sound like that. That 'power loss' you're getting, sounds controlled, not mechanical. I think you should rethink your issue, and maybe see if there's something else causing your problem too like possible bad fuel, but sounds like PCM is controlling the issue.

The dealership may be the issue here. Also like someone else said they have to prove the modification caused the problem. I have a gmc at4 with the same engine and same issues. Definitely feel the pain. Its been a issue in 6.2's with the afm and dfm since they where introduced. I am going with a afm dfm delete kit just because it makes since. Also when my truck shuts off I unplug the battery cables for 1 min and hook them back up and she starts right up. Still sucks but saves on tow bills

The warranty states, you can change any oem parts on the engine voids warranty. Also in all warranty I know off reading damage is not coverage. Even extended warranties do not cover any modifications or off reading damage

GM would have to prove that the mods caused the failure, in order to void the warranty. And it wouldn't void the ENTIRE warranty, so for example an exhaust, wheels, and tires wouldn't void the warranty for an electrical problem

So I finally wrote a letter to Daimler Chrysler about my horrible issues and how multiple dealerships said they couldn't find the issue, I told them I was going to let my Attorney General test drive my vehicle and see if he can duplicate the issue. Instantly my vehicle was in for full torque converter replacement under warranty. Thoroughly suggest a letter such as this.

Both trucks lifted, exhausts, tuned! I'm a Mopar fan nowadays but GM took care of me. Try called them direct and they should advise the dealership how to proceed.
