My previous truck was a 2015 Silverado 6.2 with DOD (displacement on demand and bought it new) which you can search via the web and there has been some failures of the lifters. I didn't have any issues. Traded at 65,000 miles. My current truck a 2020 Silverado 6.2 has DOD. 25,000 miles. No issues.
I assume the 20 you are looking at has a 8 speed trans. If you go over to LS1tech.com the 8 speed gets no love at all. My 15 had the 8 speed. It always shifted hard when cold on the 1-2 shift and 2-3 shift. Also some down shifts were harsh. Had it into the dealership 3-4 times for updates but it never seemed to make much difference. Never failed but I traded it after the warranty was up.
My 2020 has the 6.2 and the 10 speed trans and it shifts like butter.
I'm a died in the wool GM guy.
