I bought a 2017 and when I changed my oil none of the oil filters for a 2017 would fit. I look up the filter that came off the truck and it's for a 2020. Nothing shows on the carfax and there's evidence of an engine swap. The truck has 36k on it.
I will contact a dealer and see. I would have thought carfax would show something but it doesnt..The motor was changed under warranty I bet. I wonder if a GM dealer can lookup your vin and see?
I would also agree.I can't imagine a dealer using a 2020 motor in a 2017 truck.
That would be interesting....oh the irony if this is the same truck

2017 L5P vs 2020 L5P
Hey there. Customer broke glow plug tip off in cylinder and ran engine in his 2017 L5P. Have a complete 2020 engine. I know there are some changes from early to late. Is the long block the same? Or should I be looking for 2017-2019 engine? Thanks!www.duramaxdiesels.com

Isn't a L5P a L5P no matter the year? I'm just assuming but wouldn't it be like my 08 lmm blowing a motor and the dealer putting a 2010 lmm in it? I would think until the engine code changes then it would be different but maybe gm changed it up i guess.I can't imagine a dealer using a 2020 motor in a 2017 truck.
The basic long block is likely the same, How ever as noted the oil cooler and filter assembly changed from 17-19 Vs the 20-up.Isn't a L5P a L5P no matter the year?
