The brand new 18's are doing it. It's strange that GM hasn't found a solution yet.


Yep - agreed on GM not finding a fix. I know the 07 - 12 or so suffered premature engine failure issues due to loss of oil pressure when the lifters died. I guess at least now you just lose compression in a cylinder?

DOD kit is the only way to go, then getting it flashed to disable it in the ECU as well.
