This is the 3.0 liter v6 diesel, not a v8. I haven't heard anything about the Duramax v6 good, bad or indifferent. I have heard bad things about the RAM v6 diesels eating themselves. There are theories that the DPF regens too often and causes issues.
One thing I don't like is that the timing belt is on the back of the engine under the bellhousing. So to replace the timing belt either the engine or the transmission/transfer case has to come out. The Duramax apologists tell you "Well, its only got to be done once every 120,000 miles" sure, great but its a major service for thousands of dollars.... -Curt On Wednesday, July 17, 2024 at 11:15:15 AM EDT, Randy Bennell via Mercedes <mercedes@okiebenz.com> wrote: On 17/07/2024 9:48 AM, Andrew Strasfogel via Mercedes wrote: > wtf. > > https://bringatrailer.com/listing/2022-cadillac-escalade-5/ > _______________________________________ Thinking about buying that, Andrew? A friend has a Tahoe with the diesel. They have pulled a travel trailer all over the USA with it in the past couple of years.
