The fully refreshed 2022 GMC Sierra 1500 introduces a long list of updates and changes over the pre-refresh 2022 GMC Sierra 1500 Limited and 2021 GMC Sierra 1500. Unfortunately, the 2022 GMC Sierra 1500 is currently under constraint with regard to the naturally aspirated 6.2L V8 L87 gasoline engine and 3.0L I6 LM2 turbodiesel Duramax engine, a condition that GM Authority has learned will remain in effect through the remainder of the 2022 model year.
Earlier this month, GM Authority was the first to report that the naturally aspirated 6.2L V8 L87 gasoline engine in the 2022 GMC Sierra 1500 was under constraint and unavailable to order. Additionally, GM Authority recently reported that the 2022 Chevy Silverado 1500 is also currently under constraint with regard to the 6.2L V8 L87 gasoline engine and 3.0L I6 LM2 Duramax engine, a condition that is expected to remain in place for the rest of the 2022 model year.
The naturally aspirated 6.2L V8 L87 gasoline engine is rated at 420 horsepower at 5,600 rpm and 460 pound-feet of torque at 4,100 rpm, while the 3.0L I6 LM2 turbodiesel Duramax is rated at 277 horsepower at 3,750 rpm and 460 pound-feet of torque at 1,500 rpm. Going forward, GM Authority has learned that the upcoming 2023 GMC Sierra 1500 Duramax will cradle the new 3.0L I6 LZ0 turbodiesel engine, with the new LZ0 replacing the LM2 in the light-duty GMC Sierra lineup as the “second iteration” of the Duramax 3.0L six-cylinder.
As for 2022 model-year vehicles, customers waiting for their new 2022 GMC Sierra 1500 to be built with one of the two unavailable engines will likely be contacted by their dealer with alternative solutions, including delayed production of the new truck, or selection of one of the two available alternative engines.
The other two engine options in the 2022 GMC Sierra 1500 lineup include the turbocharged 2.7L I4 L3B gasoline engine, rated at 310 horsepower and 430 pound-feet of torque, and the naturally aspirated 5.3L V8 L84 gasoline engine, rated at 355 horsepower and 383 pound-feet of torque. Under the skin, the 2022 GMC Sierra 1500 rides on the GM T1 platform, with production taking place at the GM Fort Wayne plant in Indiana and GM Silao plant in Mexico.

Very odd because just today I received an email from GMC that my order was accepted and scheduled to be built. I ordered the 3.0L Durmax 2022 Sierra At4. Curious to see if I get the call the motor was changed.
Same here. Ordered a 3.0L Duramax AT4 end of April. Received call from my Father-in-law (who is a GMC Salesman) that the order was accepted. He said they did not provide him with a production date.
I told him I am ok with waiting on a 2023 / LZ0 engine. We’ll see what happens
I reserved a Denali trim with the 3.0L Duramax back in November and placed the order with my selected dealer February 11th. They estimated I would receive my truck sometime in April. Been getting the runaround by the dealer and GMC Customer Care chat/phones calls for months now.
April 11th, the dealer contacted me and said my truck was built and enroute – that I should have it in a few weeks. Then around the 3 week mark, since I never heard from them again, I contacted the dealer. They then told me they had looked at the wrong order and mine actually had a target production week of 5/23!?! I chatted and talked with GM Customer Care numerous times leading up to 5/23 and the TPW status went off and on several more times even though they assured me 5/23 was set and would not be delayed further.
A week ago, a TPW of 6/13 was communicated to me via the dealer and the GM email subscription. Minutes after reading this news post light night, I received an updated status email from GM saying “Your order has a TPW of 06/13/2022. While it was slated to be built sometime this week, it has not yet reflected the produced status. However, it is slated to be built. We would recommend reaching out later next week for another update as our system doesn’t indicate when it will be built and doesn’t reflect real-time updates.”
No idea if this means I will be able to get it with the Duramax or not. Beyond frustrated at this point. First brand new vehicle purchase of my life and it has been a total disappointment.
Unfortunately I dont think this is unusual. I have been getting run arounds by dealers all year.. oh ya we have one… lets get a deposit to hold it for you.. actually we dont have that truck.. etc etc etc…
ordered my at4 in march, finally got accepted end of april.. and basically nothing for the dealer!! Has been at code 3300 for over a month now. I get all of the delays and supply issues, etc… but how about SOME communication. Seriously, amazon deals with MILLIONS of packages everyday and can tell you exactly where they are. You cant give customers spending 70K on a truck what is going on!!!
Received my 150 Denali with 6.2 engine this week. Ordered late January. Missing chip for assist parking. Received as ordered.

Unbelievable!! WTH is the issue now with the 3 liter. Have had it in order since January, does this mean that’s a scrap and I should consider ford or dodge?
WTH GM get your sh*te together. What is causing the issue ? Why won’t they share details
Why because Biden says no more fossil fueled vehicles in the near future. Only 2.5 years left of his nonsense. Then BUY BUY Biden.
Reserved mine immediately when they became available, Denali with 3.0 just hit status 3800 this morning. GMC chat rep told me to talk to the dealership to ask about delivery/shipping time. Called dealer, rep from dealer told me that all orders are now being pushed to 2023. I told him that mine was already built – he did not believe me… I will call again Monday to see if the dealer’s system is updated.
Had Yukon 3.0L diesel on order since August. Now being told it’s being converted to 23! Complimentary upgrade to ultimate edition for waiting for so long👍
