My wife and I are in need of a larger vehicle and have been considering either a Suburban or Yukon XL. The 5.3 and 6.2 have been around in some form or another for years and years now and other than direct injection (I just don't care for it on gas engines....) and lifter/pushrod issues (found a pushrod bent at a 20 degree angle once on a 5.3 - no apparent reason.... scary....) they don't seem to be very problematic.
The 3.0 Duramax seems to have been received well though. The torque numbers are great and people generally seem to think they're reliable. A few issues early on with a crank no start that seems to be resolved with a software update.
Just seeing if anyone on here has any experience with the engine. Like it? Dislike it? The vehicle in general? Transmission?
