  1. like your question, i have beenbuying used for the last 15 years just because i put almost 40k a year on. so a 5 year old truck at 200 or 230 k is the same price. you dont give up the first year big hit
  2. i would say it is someone who bought a deisel and shouldn't have, they arenot meant to put around town or excessive idling. the brake thing is a gm problem, some do worse and some do bettter. i put 140k on my 2014 and was expecting the same on the 2020 but only got half of that mileage. a2020 with40k is not that many miles, my 2020 has 120k
  3. it is one of those things that will only turn on with the engine running and the ecm commands it on, so it will be hard to tell
  4. try tapping the pump lightly and see if it starts, if it doesn't then the pump needs replaced, i think it will put the engine in limp mode if you drive it
  5. the pcv fine separator was 100 bucks, it takes 7 hours to change it.
  6. 120k on my 2.7 and run great
  7. i have had 3 issues, the pcv fine oil separator failed at 60k, recently i had a turbo problem that was a clamp that attaches the exhaust to the turbo had come loose and turned and was stopping the actuator arm. other than that it likes to eat oil
  8. i guess it might be depending on the type of driving. my 2.7 has 120k miles, changed the plugs at 70k and it runs as good as new. i have not used any injector cleaner
  9. i haven't had a regular cab since 1987, just needed more space for the family VA thats a good looking truck
  10. if it is jerking and flaring between shifts it need a valve body are even more
  11. 90-120k is when you are going to start having transmission problems, even if it has been serviced the valve body wears out and next thing you know you have burnt clutchs and the cost of a rebuild, let alone the torque converter prolems
  12. my 2014 is over 200k still going on original power train, 5.3 with 6 speed
  13. 2020 silverado 2.7 8 speed 118k miles. using m7 the transmission shifts fine up or down, if i just put it into drive the 3-4 shift is a little off but the7-8 shift is like the transmission goes into neutral, flares about 1k rpm and then slams into 8th. in manual mode if i get the speed up to 65 and shift to 8th then there is only a small flare and harsh engagement is this a mechanical problem with 8th gear or just a valve body problem controlling 8th gear. tramsmission was last serviced at 60k
  14. it would be nice to know what year, vehicle and engine
  15. if the code was not there before the work was done then they screwed something up. wrong parts maybe. one of the old tricks alignment shop used to center the steering wheel was to screw with the tie rod adjustment, which you can't do anymore because of the steering sensor. i would say the rack needs to be centered and then the wheels aligned. this is a common code when ever front end work is done
  16. you can buy the parts separately, mirror housing 84575674 and depending on mirror 84309709
  17. it's not normal, i have a 2.7 and at idle you can hardly tell it's running
  18. unfortunately Grumpy the 2019 and newer are not like your 2105 or my 2014 which i went 160k before it needed brakes. my 2020 was at the dealership when i was at 58k for warranty work and they said i needed rear brakes and i thought no way. i pulled my wheels and they were right, rear inner pads were worn down to nothing and the outer pad was at 50 %. the fronts were fine. for some reason the 2019 and newer like to eat rear brakes. i replaced the rear rotors and pads with aftermarket parts and 30k later i had to do the rear rotors again at 90k. so i bit the bullet and went oem and replaced everything front and rear. i am now at 135k and the brakes are wearing the way i expected from the start. 45k and the brakes are still at 80 percent all around, don't know why they are wearing good now
  19. have you had the ground strap behind the front right wheel replaced
  20. on my 2.7 it was where the exhaust attaches to the turbo, would have never found it without taking the heat sheild of
  21. check your rpo codes and you will find that your truck is not equipped to program trailers
