So, I have a 2019 Sierra AT4 with 67k miles which I have been very happy with. Last week it went into the shop with major engine failure and it looks like the lifters are blown. Known GMC problem, and luckily, I think it will be covered under an extended warranty I bought at the time of purchase.
The warranty company is suggesting that they just drop a new 6.2 in the truck as opposed to doing the lifter work.
My question is, if all of this happens as planned, do I have the dealership re-value the truck with the new engine, trade it in and buy a new AT4 or AT4x?
If yes, thoughts on switching to the Duramax 3.0L? I'm obviously not a fan of the 6.2 with these lifter issues, not the mention the ocean of gasoline I've dumped in that thing over the years. That being said, Diesel comes with its own complications and is more expensive at the pump.
Just curious to get some opinions from others on this.
