This is a follow up to my recent safety concern on my 2025 GMC Sierra 1500 with the 6.2 engine. Dropped off my vehicle to our GMC service dealer on 10/22/2026 - Oil change and 15K mile check up was getting close. Mileage at drop off was 14,278 and the engine was still making sounds/noise and getting louder. Asked the service advisor to check for metal in the oil or filter. Based on their service review and advisors response, metal was found in the oil filter and engine is ticking. Service department sent information to GM rep for further actions needed. Dealer rep stated that I need a new engine due to this new found issue. Waiting for response from a GM representative at this time. Truck is in my garage at home. I remain very concerned about driving this vehicle at this time. Just called the dealership as I have not heard of any follow up yet. Call went to voice mail of my service advisor. 6.2 Engine is ticking and metal has been found in the filter. Please add this to my original concern on this VIN #.

In April 2025, we purchased a new GMC Denali Sierra 1500 Ultimate pickup truck. Concerns – Many of these comments appear in the Dealer Service Reports 1st Service Visit 10/17/25 At our first oil change and scheduled maintenance (10/17/25) with mileage of 5403 miles, during the drop-off I informed the GM Service Advisor of a clicking sound from the engine which I thought might be a fan belt. When I picked up the truck from Service, the Service Adviser informed me that upon startup, a “clatter” type noise was heard, “reminiscent of bad lifters.” The Service Adviser reported that during the mechanic’s test drive, the “clicking noise would get louder with engine speed.” No trouble codes were found after being checked by the MDI. They checked for misfires and a few misfires were found but “not often. At “idle” during this service call, the Left Engine Bank had a “good click/metallic tap to it.” “When the idle was raised, the Right Bank would get loud and had a loud tapping sound.” The oil change did not show any visible metal particles. The GM Service Department recommended a “complete tear-down of the engine for further inspection,” tentatively scheduled in a few weeks, pending Service availability. The Service Adviser stated he would recommend an engine replacement. 2nd Service Visit 10/27/2025 While driving the truck, I noticed that the engine “ticking” had gotten louder, and a Check Engine light had gone on and off. I returned to the Service Department on 10/27/25 (mileage 5807). The Service Department inspected the vehicle and found no “stored DCTS” but found “noise is there for internal engine noise.” The team recommended “tear-down or possible new engine.” Service appointment was set for 11/3/2025 for 5-days. 3rd Service Visit 11/3-7/2025 Service department reported that there were no problems. Vehicle was not under recall..... Scheduling a oil change this week. 14,500 miles.
