Who knows how many failures the 6.2 had? 39 disgruntled gm 6.2 owners made reports to the NHSTA but there could be many many more that didn’t report their engine failures to the NHSTA.
had a 6.2 ford blow up after the ford dealer didn’t put oil in it on an oil change. I didn’t report it to the NHSTA cause it didn’t cost me anything to get the vehicle on road.
Probably hundreds if not 1000’s of gm small blocks 6.2’s blew up but owners didn’t report the problems to the NHTSA cause they were taken care of like the 39 that likely weren’t. One of the poasters here had a new 6.6 gm gasser blow up on him and I don’t think he filed a report withthe NHSTA
