So I was at the dealership. My son purchased a new to him 2016 2500 HD 6.0. They had a 2024 black AT4 sitting on the lot and I was looking at it. BTW my wife was letting me know I did not need it. While paperwork was being processed I was asking questions about the AT4. I finally asked if it was a 6.2 and my wife proudly chimed in and said, yes it was, and one of the first things she saw on the badging on the truck. Then the salesman said I should purchase it as there will be NO more 6.2 made because there is a discontinue order. He said it was a bad deal as the Dealer up north has a huge order for 6.2 as that is about all he sells here in Montana. I immediately asked if it was a discontinuation or possibly a temporary pause. He then started talking about the 6.2 failures and he has sold 3 and one Tahoe lost its engine twice. He then stated it was possible he misunderstood and it could have been a temporary pause on he 6.2 and I agreed. Our conversation turned to the 6.2 being a very popular option and they, GM, surely wouldn't just discontinue it unless this was a "green agenda" option the company was going with. We agreed maybe this would be an option 2 years ago but now with the new political environment its more probable GM may finally be looking at the 6.2 as a huge mechanical disaster for them. If this is true GM is probably getting ready for a recall because of a class action lawsuit. He told me he was going to try and find the letter and see if he could find out more information. I thought this was a really good piece of knowledge. I'm and not sure if communication was lost in translation between dealers but it does seem possible. If I hear anything more I will certainly let you all know what I find out.
If this is common knowledge I apologize for the late double posting.
Thanks
