Has anyone run up alot of miles on one of these? Just wondering what the 2026 opinion is with the folks who have them. Just trying to decide between this and the 5.3L. From what I have read, it seems like these motors aren't inherently worse from a reliability standpoint compared to the AFM 5.3L. Thanks in advance.

I think the consensus is that they're more reliable. I've driven a 2.7L once and it wasn't bad at all, plenty of power.

Just spent a couple of weeks in a 5.3L rental and I didn't hate it either. It had more torque than I expected as a former 6.2L owner.
