There’s something that doesn’t add up with the 6.2L L87 situation, and in this video I’m not speculating—I’m walking you through real emails, real documents, and real owner experiences that were sent directly to me. I start with proof that the NHTSA is actively following up on complaints, asking owners very specific questions about loss of power, warning lights, tow events, and what parts actually failed (bearings, block damage, lifters, oil consumption, you name it). I also show how even the forums are pushing updates to members because the recall/oil change to 0W-40 doesn’t look like it’s solving this for everyone. Then it gets serious. I break down one Florida case step-by-step where an engine failure turned into a full buyback battle. The dealer documentation was initially vague, the trade-in offer was way under what KBB showed, and the owner had to push for clear answers. The dealer eventually confirmed the engine couldn’t be repaired—cylinder damage, metal debris, loss of compression—and that it required a full long-block replacement. And here’s the part that’ll shock you: the buyback numbers moved dramatically over time. With help from the BBB Auto Division and better documentation of add-ons, the offer climbed all the way to $85,378.38. Even after the engine replacement, the truck reportedly started burning oil and needed an oil consumption test—so yeah, this story has layers, and it matters if you own an L87.
