Another weekly dose of your catastrophic engine forensics! Every week you can find a new teardown of some abused, misused and/or poorly designed engine. I've got over 150 videos of failed engine teardowns on this channel.
Today's teardown is an engine that I never thought I'd be able to get for the channel but thanks to my inability to sleep here it is! This is the LM2, a 3.0L Duramax from a 2020 Silverado 1500. Its a turbodiesel inline 6 that makes 277hp and 460 ftlbs of torque. This is known as one of the baby Duramax and there are other displacements available in vehicles like the Colorado and canyon. This engine is offered in all 2020-2022 1/2 ton GM full size trucks and SUV's including the Tahoe, Silverado, Sierra, Yukon, Suburban. This particular engine suffered some pretty extensive damage, enough to warranty complete engine replacement which was NOT cheap.

My name is Eric and I own and run a full service auto salvage business called Importapart, located in the Saint Louis area. Part of our model includes dismantling blown up and core engines to salvage and resell the good, usable parts from them. We do not rebuild engines, merely supply parts to those that do!
If you'd like to buy parts from this engine or anything else I've torn down you can email us at [email protected] or go to www.Importapart.com and peruse our latest inventory.

I really hope you enjoyed this video, as always I love all of the comments, feedback and even the criticism.

Catch you on the next one!
