Those L87 engines are interesting as they’re essentially an LT1 but modified for the trucks and have start-stop as well as DFM which is AFM’s next ‘evolution’ where it can deactivate any and all cylinders instead of our v4 and v8 only mode.
Then there’s the LT6, heard a few had blown in the past. Still a sad sight to see

If its gonna fail looks like it will fail early on under 10k miles. Live life, too many other things to worry about.

I had the 3.0 in my 2020 AT4, wasn't worried about it. It had warranty through 100K miles but it was getting up there. Went with the 5.3 in my new SLT, incentives were stupid good at my dealership. Not worried about it either with full warranty, but I would be a bit hesitant to buy a 5.3 or 6.2 past the 60K mile warranty

I will say for the Camaro at least, our dreaded lifter failure does seem like a slightly greater occurrence (not saying that’s what the L87 had). My 2SS had lifter failure on #7 right after 10k miles. I have powertrain for another 5 years and 100k miles so not a problem for me for the time being though lol
