Eddie 70

I am at 107k on my 14, so far I have had none of this issue. I hope this is one that does not cost me a wreck!!

I have felt the bead of sealant before but I have never actually laid eyes on it. I wash my wheel wells out every time I wash my truck and use my fingers to chase as much dirt and grime out. I'll have to look for that when the weather warms up again.

I bought mine with just a tick over 40k on it. I bought the extended 100k warranty and it worked out for me also. Radiator and condenser fixed on mine.

Hard to beat driving the company car. I am hoping to keep my truck around another 5 or so years. So driving something else is saving the truck for later.

How many miles are you at now? I am guessing you have gained quite a few more, hopefully trouble free miles. Still in the 107k range but getting close to 108k.

You can see my mpg in my sig. I use the aCar app to track mileage. This is my lifetime average. My truck originally came from the factory with 20's according to the options list. When I bought the truck it had 17's on it. I have since put a set of factory 20's back on it. The 20's have knocked the mileage down some. I drive 80+ miles round trip to work and recently bought a Honda CRZ for $3700 to drive back and forth. My truck only gets in town use for the last 6 months and that really has put a hit on my mpg. I have recorded my worst mpg in my truck in the last 6 months just driving in town.

How much for the U-bolts minus the shipping? I can't see a price on their website. Interesting fix.

The MPG numbers are in my sig for my 2014 5.3 2wd. Seems I am pretty close to the 4 banger MPG already. Wonder why they did not turbo the V6?

Not on my 2014 that I know of.

I hope you are wrong. I do however keep up with the maintenance. My 14 has had the condenser and radiator replaced under warranty. I could have done both of those items if I had not had warranty. I'm not too worried about it giving me problems. I have been one that trades pretty regularly. This one I hope lasts me another 5 years.

I traded my 02 Z06 for an 07 Sierra. My Z had about 75k miles on it and had been driven every day, rain, sleet, snow, whatever. Glad to hear the truck is serving you well. The truck was a much better ride for a long commute which is what I was doing at the time of the trade. I did take a hit on gas mileage going from the Z to a truck. I too am looking forward to hearing some 200k mile stories. I think if anyone on here can do it based on their maintenance practices, FL355 is going to be the one to do. He has some strong maintenance practices.

I always reach up there and turn them to off when I start the truck. I guess it keeps that from happening too. I just did it because I don't like the DRL's. There is a write up somewhere that explains how to remove the spring from the Auto on headlight switch so that it stays in the off position when you put it there.

I like it.

What kind of issues did you notice when the trans started to go? I change about 1 gallon of fluid every 15k miles. Filter was changed at 65k or so. Currently around 107k miles and trans seems great.

Sounds like you did a good thing by getting in there and looking at everything while you were in there. When I changed the struts and upper control arms, I made sure everything was tightened also. I guess it couldn't hurt to take a look at everything each oil change. However, I didn't mark anything. Good idea. Next oil change, I will do the same. The good part about the Moog stuff, you get grease fittings!!
