2014SilveradoLT

So I purchased a 2014 Silverado LT with 78,000 miles on it from my old step dad who lost his license. I got a decent deal on it $8800 and I bought it to replace my 2007 classic. However I read through various forums, and watched videos saying that the 2014-19 Silverados are total lemons after 90,000 miles. Like big issues happen from lifter issues and destroyed engines, to overheated and blown transmissions. I know that some of this stuff has been covered in other forum posts, but it hasn't been asked like this. My question is this. Since am not super mechanically inclined and would have to get someone else to do all the work, is it worth it for me to keep the truck and do all the preventative maintenance to make the engine and tranny bullet proof, or is that too expensive and better to just sell it before the problems start? From what I know lifters and cam have to be replaced and the engine retuned, and also transmission cooler bypass valve and torque converter for the tranny. Am I missing anything? Don't get me wrong, I love the truck and all the features, but I don't want to spend thousands and thousands of dollars future proofing the truck, or spend thousands doing major repairs. My alternative is to search for a minty 2006 Sierra / Silverado, since they are way more bullet proof. Am I blowing things out of proportion and should just keep the 2014, and get the work done? My heart is saying keep the 2014 cuz I love the features and the ride, my gut is saying danger danger sell the 2014 and look for a minty 2006. What would you do?

Thanks guys harness orderd.

I have watched a ton of videos, and read a ton of posts on adding a heated steering wheel to my truck (2014 Silverado LT). I bought the heated steering wheel and the required clock spring. I was a little uneasy about doing it myself just because of the airbag thing so i paid a mechanic to do it. So, I leave my truck at his shop, and get a call 2 hours later saying the heated steering wheel and clock spring are installed, but my truck does not have the heated steering wheel connector. This is first time I ever heard of this occurring on a 2014+. I have heard of BCMs sometimes needing to be programmed, but this is the first time I heard a 2014 Silverado not having the connector period. Anyway, this mechanic now claims we are going to have to MacGyver something by doing some kind of splicing of wires / soldering etc, and wants me to start the groundwork on figuring out the best way to go about it. Before I start all that, I have 2 questions for anyone that might know. #1. Is this guy just an idiot and just couldn't find the heated seat connector, and I should do a deep search for it myself? Or on some 2014+ models did GM really leave out the connector? #2. If it turns out that yes some models don't have the connector period, what is the best way to go about wiring this thing up? Anyone have any detailed instructions or a video? Thanks in advance to all those that reply with help.
