I’m really trying to follow the situation with the L87 6.2. I want to buy a new Tahoe with it but I am NOT touching them until GM has certifiably fixed the failure issues for CERTAIN with a documented engineering repair/redesign.
NOT a simple change in recommended oil viscosity. They’re still failing.
So can those of you with much more knowledge about the situation please post everything you know and where things are in the lawsuit?
Thanks.

I have been buying General Motors products for at least 40 years (counting my first car). Of the new cars from GM, all but one of my cars have been reliable with no engine or related failures.
When I decided to buy my recent new car, I considered everything (including the 6.2 L failure stores). I decided that it was worth the risk based on GM's past reliability and performance of the LS1 based engines. Additionally, every automaker have had their share of issues and failures (Toyota and Ford included). The last point was that the GM Twins were the only ones that were offering everything that I wanted from a new v8 automobile. It was based on these three substantial factors that I decided to take the plunge.
This current new GM automobile isn't necessarily treated the same as my previous cars. Immediately after I took delivery on my Silverado, I put it on the road for a 2400 mile round trip. The truck performed flawlessly. At today's date the truck continues to perform flawlessly without even the slightest sign of trouble (not even a dead battery). I also have no trouble in believing that this pickup truck will continue to perform flawlessly indefinitely.
This is my experience with GM cars to this date. GM is well endowed when it comes to technology and build quality. Where I feel that they have lacked is judgment of the current market and some missteps. If GM intends to remain as a main factor in the automotive market then they should be able to analyze their problems and put in corrective measures.
