OK, I passed up a deal on a new 26 Silverado with a 3.0 duramax, kinda glad I did now. But now I have been made an offer for the same truck with the 2.7 turbomax. My Silverado is only 10 years old with the 5.3 and other than some wear items no problems. I tried researching the pros and cons for the 2.7 and one guy says it is the best thing since sliced bread, and the next guy says its junk. I know the older ones have some issues, soanyone have a 2.7 and want to share anything about it ?
New truck,,,, maybe
- Thread starter skeets
- Start date
I don't have one, but most of the newer turbos from all brands have issues.
Meanwhile, the 5.3 is considered to be one of the better ones other than burning oil if you use very low viscosity.
I'd just do a few internet searches and visit the brand forums.

The problem with new GM trucks is not the engine. It’s the transmissions.
Keep your Silverado. (My son’s ‘2025 Silverado has been waiting at the dealer now 5 months for transmission parts under warranty. )
