problem #2

Mar 052017

Silverado LT 5.3L V8

  • Automatic transmission
  • 93,000 miles

I had 2 repair shops look at my truck. Both told me I need a new engine. I called GM to make a complaint and to see if there is anything they will do to help with the problem. GM advised that because the truck is not under warranty they will not do anything to help. My truck only has 93,000 miles on it and I need a new engine. GM IS JUNK!!!!!!!!!!!! I was driving down the highway when my check engine light started flashing and the message screen told me to shut the engine off due to low oil pressure.

Silverado LTZ 5.3L

  • Automatic transmission
  • 76,000 miles

This is a well known design flaw caused by excessive oil consumption maybe due to the fuel management system.
