Thanks guys for all the input! I am just extremely particular about my vehicles, and hate the thought of needing to carry extra oil at all times!!
Tough decisions on if I trade in, (and fortunately will get every dollar back that I got in it) and get another GM hoping this one was out of the ordinary, or try out a Ford...
People who own the Godzillas seem to be happy with them. It is a nice engine, top of the offering in the gas world right now. Ford even introduced a 6.8L gas engine in the XL trims - so you might want to check that out. I am happy with the 6.6L GM/Chevy gasser, does what I want and does it without a fuss. I am not brand loyal, test drove all three for months and joined all the Facebook groups, followed them to find out all the issues the engines/trannies were having etc. I came from the diesel world (never going back)- the new gassers are potent and do their jobs well. If you think about it - people rave about the 7.3L powerstroke from 20 years ago - well the gassers have double the HP and the same torque but with computer controlled transmissions and very smooth power delivery curves, same level of simplicity (comparably) and cheapness of maintenance. Win-win.
